IDs are stupid. All they do is make it easier for bankers and tax collectors to track down their victims. But they make the insecure feel safer, so we all have to wear our dogtags.

Sheeple.

I agree on the taxman part, but bankers? How is it a bankers fault if someone voluntarily takes a loan and then doesn't (won't/can't) pay it back?

Just curious.

I'm a computer geek/sysadmin, not a banker BTW...

Don't know about fault, just saying that's one of the most common uses of ID and one of the biggest reasons ID schemes exist.

I'm currently negotiating the chutes and ladders of getting a driver's license in PA. They have all these ridiculous requirements, all in the name of Homeland Security, which is a total joke. Do they imagine terrorists saying "Gee Akmad, we gotta have a hunting license and a utility bill to get our id's. Might as well pack it up and go home..." Gimme a break.

Howdy SgtX!

Maybe it's not so much to deter terrorists from getting driving licenses, as it is to deter young teenagers!

And for what it's worth, I'll take the taxman over bankers any day of the week. The taxman plays by pretty straight forward rules, and is only looking for a percentage. The banker makes it up as they go, uses the small (microscopic) print, and wants it all.

Driver's liscense in PA, eh? Not too hard, seeing as how those suckers issued me one.

Now what you REALLY need to go for is a liscense to carry a weapon in PA...that'd be shiny.

Not that I'd actually do it, just that I'd have the paper saying I could.

[german accent]Papers! Papers![/german accent]

It's not a national ID card - honest! It's just a state issued document verifying your ability to operate a motor vehicle. Really. That's all it is.

I believe 'the paper saying you could' is called The Constitution, at least in those states that choose to abide by it...

OK :)

No real world discussions. Wrong thread/forum. Addendum: I'm sorry, meant to say concealed weapon liscense.

Besides, I'm too much of a ninny to be carrying a weapon around anyways. Haven't shot at anything for almost 20 years, and those were only targets. My dad carried his pistol around downtown Philly and I almost had a coronary. He was all excited he had his liscense to carry concealed and had to try it out.

My kids + dad with weapon under his coat = freaked out me

LOL

I'd never make it in the 'verse...
