Japanese Schoolchildren to be Tagged with RFID

Posted by timothy on from the hey-those-things-are-out-of-season dept.

oostevo writes "CNET has reported that Japanese schoolchildren in the city of Osaka will be tagged with RFID tags. Apparently this is in addition to the trial program in Tabe that The Register reported earlier, where parents can track their children on their way to school."

    the Japanese can't tell their own children apart?

    Aaaaactually, most really odd things sound realistic if you add "it happened in the US". :)

    - An unelected president in a modern democracy
    - Sensorship and brainwashing in a modern democracy
    - Severing decades of allegiance just because France said "no"... and then came "Freedom fries". Next what, demolish the statue?
    - Government defending abstinence as the means to counter Aids, in a country where porn runs as amok as hookers.
    - A pop star having to apologize for showing her breast.

    C'mon. You gotta face it. Japan has odd things (Godzilla), but at least they mostly live either in imagination or in ignorance of their culture. Looks perfectly natural to them. Does most things that happen in the US look natural to you? :)

    Does this mean they're going to run the schoolgirl by an RFID reader before they dump buckets of spooge on her face?

    If you want to introduce a new idea into society; start with the children! They are trained not question adults and will accept almost anything. Just look how the idea of socialism has grown in American schools. In the fifties, everyone was against the Great Red Threat and anything communist or socialist. Today, most people under thirty want more socialism.

    I know that a lot of people today don't read the Bible. Some people even look at like it's just a book written by man. Most people won't touch it because it's been so prevented by a few people to control the masses in so many churches all over the world. However, just read Revelation 13:16-18 and think about what WalMart is doing. Think about how in few years you'll have no choice but to take a RFID or you won't be able to buy or sell anything. If this is true, what else is true?

    If you're intrested in the truth, go where money is not.

    Oh, I understand that some people may have a different opinion and believe in laissez-fair parenting. I also understand that those people are wrong. That is not being narrow-minded, that is being correct-minded.

    I also understand that, lacking any solid argument of my own, you are putting words in my mouth that I never said. This makes you a liar, in addition to someone who is clueless about parenting.
