Reply #4 - Jan 13^th, 2016 at 10:49am An ID card was suggested during the 1980s. It met with huge resistance and ridicule. I would vote against it. For your future reference: does not, and has do not agree. It should be "doesn't have."

Are you not feeling yourself?

A simple thing, like to open an account, to get a debit card, only takes a few minutes if you have an ID with you. Nobody needs to identify you again and again through paperworks.

The 100 point system only makes hassles to good people, it doesn't make anything more secure from bad guys' hands.

it's harder to forge multiple documents than it is to forge one.

It is not better than a driver's license.

since the objection then was one of principle not circumstance, should it not still be the same now?
