ID cards could cost £200 to £300 and IT experts have stated that they will increase the risk of ID theft. Pilot ID cards have been hacked inside minutes.

They will also have RFIS technology, meaning your details can be read remotely without your knowledge and you will have your movements tracked and recorded on a central database.

Some people think a plastic card is the solution to terrorism and wil be like garlic to a vampire. But the Madrid terrorists carried ID cards, the 7/7 bombers carried ID and the 9/11 hijackers carried passport ID, so it won’t scare of Bin Laden and Co

With no obvious benefit to the British people, but many, many drawbacks to privacy at a very high price, will you refuse ID cards if (when) they become mandatory?

If I’ve missed the point here, and you can sell the benefits to me, please respond.

Don’t type abuse here – I’m trying to gauge British feelings and views.

She has been arrested again.
John Kerry's sister refused to meet with her because she called Sheehan's actions a "publicity stunt".

I feel bad for her AS A MOM, and pity the pathetic person she has become. But her life is HER CHOICE.

I live in Newport News, VA. I got a notice last week about us violating city code whatever for putting our trash cans out before 3pm the day prior to trash collection. Okay, guilty.....

This week, we purposely put our leaf bags in our yard and not on the curb until it was time. I got another notice, stating that we had violated that code again, and that they would ticket us. I called and the person who answered said that it just looked bad to have leaf bags in your front yard. We do not live in a homeowner's assocation, so I'm thinking they can't say anything about my leaf bags being in MY YARD. They were'nt on the city curb. Does anyone know???? I'm pissed!

Is it true that most of the time cops wont show up for court because they are too busy??? This is what everyone tells me. so im trying it...even my insurance company told me to fight every ticket in court to try and at least get the points removed....but if the cop does show up what do i do? Tell the truth and say i was speeding and plead for points to be removed? Should i come right out and say that i work full time and attend colllege full time and it is hard enough to pay insurance rent and all other expences on my own without having my insurance going up and i will do anything i just need the points off???Would a judge buy that becuase it is the truth in my case or would he just say well you should have thought about that earlier and not sped so your screwed...anything that i should do will help thanks!

Two years ago my mother was pinched between two vehicles( she was ok) in a grocery store parking lot while trying to get out of her vehicle to purchase a soda. There were witnessess and a police report was made and when she came home and told me about it she was not really concerned. I told her she should sue because clearly she was not at fault but she didnt want to. A few days later a commercial for an attorney came on stating that if you've been injured to call him, well I did after my mom told me not to. I insisted anyway.It took two years but they settled for $4200.00 my mom never once had to do anything but have one conversation via phone and cash a check. I recently lost my home and everything in it due to a fire. Before the money was in her hands I asked her for $20 to get my ID so I could work and a cellphone, she also insisted on giving me $500 towards a down payment since my car had been recently stolen.Since she has received this money she has done nothing to keep her word

Joe Darby, the reluctant Abu Ghraib whistleblower was interviewed on 60 minutes last night. He placed his life in pearl for reporting the Abu Ghraib crimes. His unit hates him, most of the military hates him. Darby was assured that his name would be kept anonymous. Then Rumsfeld at the congressional hearing said "There are many who did their duty professionally and we should mention that as well. First, Specialist Joseph Darby, who alerted appropriate authorities that abuses were occurring". Darby was still serving in Iraq with his unit when Rumsfeld outed him. He was fearful for his life from his fellow G.I.s. Was this just another blunder on Rumsfeld part or was it the Whitehouse's way of payback for whistleblowing?

if you don't agree with war, how can you support our troops? think about it- they did volunteer to do something you don't think is right. granted, most of them did it because of the bribes they offer with free schooling, etc.

really, how do you support them when you don't agree with them?

Together they conspirered to murder and torture thousands of human beings.

GW Bush has been given the green light by Congress to torture people at the whim of the CIA and the US military.

That's one reason why God created a hell... to torture the torturers.

It's like how Hawaii used to have a rat problem, so they imported mongooses to kill the rats. And they did; they also killed pets, chickens, pigs, small children, and now there are at least as many mongooses as there ever were rats. Now Hawaii has a mongoose problem. America used to have a crime problem, so we hired cops to fight crime. Now we have a cop problem.
