Well, he either had lots of fivers, or too much money. Anyway, I hear my bed calling. Either that or I'm being shouted at to get to bed. I suspect the latter. Night.

Aye, although I didn't quite understand the "flashing of the wallet". He could have at least launched some cash our way!

succu: I... I... can't think of a comeback. You win. I prostate myself before you in defeat. Gumpy: Yeah, you're probably right too. Damnit, someone give me a question I can answer! *cries*

We have evilbitch and succubitch... I feel a conspiracy coming on! oO

I went in Feb, although I hadn't listened to a great amount of their stuff prior. It was a good laugh, my friend and I were near the front jumping around like lunatics (perhaps we should calm down, being in our twilight years... naaaaah) when some bloke who I *swear* was a younger Terry Pratchett punched someone in the face and proceeded to get hauled off by bouncers. Oh, and then there was the guy who we err, launched for a crowd surf but no one caught him. He was up on his feet straight after, however. Good on him.

Life. Experience. Get some before you go off making mini Dinosaurs, k?

Blade Trinity style blood farms are the way forward. Solves the homeless problem too. I'm scared of needles, k? My uncle told me that the TB needle was six inches long and they jabbed it straight down your arm. ;[

Ah, but Gumpy, it might not have been a sassy reply. Granted, her punctuation might need work, but she could have been asking: "Why, do you sit and think..." and I can't remember the rest so fill in the blanks!

I'm confused (nothing new there then). Tall children are sappy? Mind you, I was an emotional child. Probably something to do with years of abuse which has turned me into a hardened monster. ... ... I'ma go cry in the corner now. (And after reading the rest of the thread) I despise cheaters, mainly thanks to my father. Cheers, Da! There's lots of other shit I had to deal with 'cos of him, but that has always been my main obstacle with him. (After reading page 4) Marriage. On one hand, a public declaration of love between two people. Which is nice. However, you could do it for a fraction of the price by taking an ad out in the newspaper. Of course, then you don't get to one up the relatives. I really should read the entire thread instead of skipping back and forth.

@tv: Well they run the risk of getting medication they're allergic to, which is the risk at the moment. @lepeep: In order, long enough to ensure you are who you say you are. Your point is lessening the hatred from one country to another, mine is having a system of identification which works, for many areas in British society. No more having to deliberate whether someone you're serving is indeed under or over age. Look at their ID card. People with illnesses and diseases won't have to wait for a doctor to figure out what's wrong with them if they collapse and fall unconcious. Scan their ID card. There are far more uses for this system than just "homeland security" to coin the Americans.

I've not read the other posts in this thread so I might be going over old topics here, but never the less here goes. I'm firmly in the belief that ID cards would be a good thing, not just ID cards but biometric ID cards. My belief works on several levels. First of all, simply as a security plan. However, the only way to make them work is to make them mandatory. Use taxes to subsidise the cost, and pass a law stating that not being in possession of an ID card is an arrestable offence. Not punishable by prison time, but an offence that means a police officer can take you to a police station and detain you until your identity can be verified. At this point, you could use them to verify identities at any number of points. For example, using the recent London explosions as a basis, if your tube ticket were tied to your ID card, you'd need to have both to board the train. If you don't have an ID card, you can't use the tube. Second, and this is where the biometric data comes in, as a means of warning emergency services of any allergies you may suffer from. For example, if you're in a car accident - late at night, no one else in your car to tell the services you suffer from an allergy to penicillin, let's say - then the emergency services would be able to scan your ID card and immediately know your name, address, next of kin and any allergies or diseases that you may suffer from. This can then direct them to any medication they can or can't use or indeed any that is needed for any one of the multitude of diseases that humanity suffers from. Of course, I'll be labelled somehow by those opposing ID cards as an "infringement of their privacy". Well, I can see little reason not to use ID cards apart from evading criminal activity. I see far more benefits to a biometric ID card system than I see disadvantages.

It would freak people out though. Imagine you're driving on your way to work and a human brain splatters across the windscreen.

What'll be a real bitch is if haigyman is one of those children...

Depends on what it means the mind is free of. Emotion, rationality and conscience? Then yeah, that mind is certainly capable of destruction. Lots of destruction. Probably involving blood and gore.
