Super. Now you can be like your dog and have a microchip too. Isn't that great? Is it not? I have no particular desire to have a chip implanted in my body. But I can see advantages - a wallet and phone that you can't misplace? Sounds like a good idea to me. What's the downside, really? The downside? For someone like you.....none that I can see.

Hopefully this is only a first step. Microchips can break, and they can cause allergic reactions.
What I would prefer is a DNA scanner that can detect people anywhere. No surgery needed, and the DNA is unique (except for identical twins) and can't be falsified.

So is the basis of the fear that the Big Book O Magic says that you have to have "a mark" and that "a mark" has been translated into "a microchip" and this therefore means the end of the world is coming? Because the end of the world isn't likely to come anytime soon. No one here is talking about "the end of the world" except you.

Which can be thrown in the trash, or, smashed into pieces with a hammer like HC's team did. A chip presents a completely different logistical problem. One that has never been faced on planet earth. Yeah. Go up to a stranger and ask if he/she is willing to throw their phone in the trash or smash it with a hammer. Report back to us with your findings.i can smash my TV, car and/or my dog to bits.....but just because I can, doesn’t mean I’m likely to do it. Our dependence/addiction to our mobile devices is one we never faced before on planet Earth. The people that I'd be asking do not live the lifestyle that will be lived once they are chipped. In order for it to be a valid survey, I'd have to wait until they actually had a taste of what that society is like before they can be expected to give a good answer.

Is anyone suggesting this? Such as? If the government can obtain the data and can process the data (with powerful computers), then it is going to use the data if it perceives a use for it. Two big assumptions. I doubt they'd get anything they wouldn't be able to access anyway. And that's what organisations like the NSA are supposed to be doing, anyway. Spying! It's what they're for. So your concern is that you wouldn't be able to break the law? Sounds good to me.

Um, no, an implanted wallet would be harder to pickpocket, too. Another advantage. My, people are so sensitive about this subject. Who'da thunkit?

Nobody around here ever demonstrated a gigantic victim complex, did they? Nobody round here has a list of things coming for us all that includes magic planets, aeroplane contrails, rich people, WalMart, the UN, FEMA... Nope. Nobody that stupid around here.

People already carry around little surveillance devices containing a microphone and camera. Which can be thrown in the trash, or, smashed into pieces with a hammer like HC's team did. You realize microchips (as they stand) are just inserted under the skin in a fatty tissue area. They're removable in minutes in an out patient process.

It's just a sub-dermal implant. This is sort of a pointless conversation, given that the OP is hoping for an irremovable devil device planted deep in the brain tissue, monitoring his most secret thoughts, finally bringing about the fractured sci-fi dystopia human slavery epidemic he's been hoping for since Jade Helm fell through and all those empty Walmarts just ended up being empty Walmarts.

You could probably cut one out yourself with a carving knife if you were determined. I've cut out a BB embedded between the thumb and forefinger on my hand... I don't recommend the do it yourself process. That much whiskey is harder on the liver than a little local anesthetic.

They're removable in minutes in an out patient process. Valid points, except, as you've said, that's "as they stand," now and, in a dystopian society (which is our context), you would not be able to remove them in an out-patient process because that would be illegal.
