We are doomed. End of times! See CNN.

Because you don't need cash to buy drugs or hookers? They take Visa/ American Express / Master Card / Diners Club and Discover.... Don't leave home without it!

Ok I knew about the hookers but drug dealers I have never heard of that. I can hear the dealer now:

"Ok that will be one eight ball of coke, two oz's of weed and 10 x's that comes to $400. How will you be paying for your addictions and afflictions today cash or charge? I take mc and visa but not am exp because their fees are two high and I would have to start stepping on the coke to make up for the added expense and you wouldn't want that now would you?"

Now I am really confused. If you don't know alot about Buddism why would you care about a buddist perception of this stuff. And I thought(could be wrong) that if you were a buddist, you worshiped Budda.

Nope, Buddah is considered a template or an icon. The story goes he is the only one that obtained that super enlightenment that breaks one away from the karmic wheel of life. No one "prays" to him in the western traditional sense. Actually they meditate which is a completly different paradigm all together.

There is no right or wrong only different paths and some paths are more difficult to transverse than others. Kind of like "do unto others as you would have them do unto you", but taken to a higher degree.

I say I don't know alot about Buddhism only because I know enough to know there is alot more I don't know.

I was asking for a Buddist perspective because they have a generally more positive outlook in regards to change.

to matttheskywalker,
you got me on the quote from my original post...what i meant to say was that most drug deals and prostitution and stuff like that is done with case ie nontraceable. sure we can use credit cards but im sayin that with the computer chip this would be your credit card so anytime you use it you can be tracked= much harder to do, thats all

I think that all baby's when born should have this put in them. It might stop all these fucking freaks from stealing kids. No more young kids on milk cartons. Then when they turn 18 --take the chip out. If I'm at a mall and I have a kid and some fuck swipes him up, i'll have a wrist band on that will track the kid down. Also have an agency just for tracking little kids down. Sounds good to me.

Its kinda weird but one of my posts here disappeared...SO HERE IT IS AGAIN.

The chip is coming and it will have hundreds of uses as well as hundreds of different types-depending on the individual it needs to be placed in. Criminals, paroles, military personnel on foreign ops, children whose parents want it, people with medical conditions, immigrants and possibly others who citizens yet as well as a few other uses. I would hope if they try to impose it on a massive scale a few million red blooded Americans will stand up and let them know it will be over their dead body. I know I will be one. And if they do try this you will not find me. I have lived in a hole in the ground for 6 months before and don't have a problem doing it again. When the time is right, our freedom militia will rise to the occasion and take back what is ours for no one else to take-freedom. Or die trying.

Peeyz owt.
