True but i consider that a excuse. We cannot dismiss the destruction as a worldwide excuse. Of course we dont live in a perfect world. But that doesnt give us the reason to condone the destruction on the earth. I could say there are towns in afganistan that are bombed becuz they are rumored to support "weapons of mass destruction". But who cares!! Cuz the world isnt perfect anyway. An excuse. Dont be a hypocrit. And you say do something and stay off the computer, get off my ass and walk the walk. Im not going to stand up get a bullitin and write REVOLUTION and walk around and display it. or take a microphone and speak it. Becuz we both know that wont make change. Instead whoever speaks to me and gets to know me walks away with a purpose and a common goal. I am making an effort to display and speak the truth of where we live. What we choose to control us. Im only 1 person but i understand i have the capacity to change the course of the world, so do you. But im struggling to take the steps needed to make a change. They are not easy but at least i know what i have to do. Im not prepared to lead a revolution. To make people aware. Thats why i come to this site and write what i do. I want advice and i want debate. How else will i prepare myself for a peacefull revolution?

When I was telling you to take a stand and be serious about this Revolution, I wasn't trying to be a dick about it. I was being serious. I was trying to give you words of encouragement. If you're wanting to change the world and make it a better place, then I say go for it. I'd totally support you or anyone else's decision in making the world better.
Have you even watched the movie Equilibrium? It's not about putting a chip in someone. Basically, everyone (government, I'm assuming) is trying to make the world perfect. They have a drink/potion type of thing that takes away your emotions. Thanks to that, there are no fights, there are no wars, no one is depressed, angry, upset. But, to live that life they also have to give up ALL emotions. So they also don't feel love, happiness, joy, anything. If someone decides not to take the drink (which they have to do every day), or even if they just forget, they are killed. But some people don't take the drink, they like feeling emotions, and they start a little underground group type of thing so that they can stay alive.
You don't like this chip. I think that
overall it would be a good idea. What Defcon said could happen though, unfortunately. And if you don't want the chip in you, Exial, then do something about it. You can start a group to protest it. Also, there's no harm in trying. Yes, there's a chance that your voice won't be heard at all and they'll go through with having the chip anyway, but not trying
at all is a definite no, rather than a maybe. Also, you can't just focus on yourself. Like I said before,
overall it would be a good idea. Just because we'd be able to track criminals better and things like that. Maybe they could change the rule: only people who are criminals should have the chip. Or... You have the chip up to a certain age/after a certain age. That way not everyone would have the chip, but if you deserved it you would get it.
