🖲️ Skyet poll: GAW opinion on ID checks?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
List of things I believe ID should be required for:
- Voting
- Running for office
- Becoming a citizen from foreign country
- Strip clubs, bars / night clubs, escort services
- Porn or gore websites, dating websites
- Alcohol, drugs, tobacco purchases (online and IRL)
- Being hired at a job
- Joining the military
- Picking up children from a school or event
- Getting a Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
- ...anything else, anons? please comment below! I am updating this list with the new additions. If I disagree with your submission I will wait for you to walk me through the Constitutionality of it. If I agree yet someone else disagrees, I will wait for them to walk me through the Unconstitutionality, and then remove it.
List of things I believe ID should in no way be required for:
- Everything not listed in the above
Not too sure about flying. Not nationally, anyway. Do you need an ID for a taxi?
Remember, 9/11 was a false flag.
Really, it also seems like banks should be able to keep track of their customers without a national ID.
u/Winn buying and selling real estate.
Between the 3 credit bureaus and Chexsystems, they practically already do.
You're giving me great pause. Anyone else thing these should be removed from ID list?
Tricky one. I believe like most commentors that the less is better. But when it comes to banking, if someone wants to make a withdrawl from an account, how else can you verify its the account holder making said withdrawl? Without some form of ID, I could go into any bank, claim to be Joe Shmoe, ask for every penny in the account and they'd give it to me. ID, I think, is needed for banking, otherwise a lot of scumbags would drain a lot of innocent people's accounts.
u/bubble_bursts might be able to educate on this matter with the 'anonymous hashes' idea he has presented to me before
Interesting. I'd love to hear it u/bubble_bursts whenever time allows. As long as it doesn't involve sacrificing something else, like our DNA, fingerprint, retinal scan, etc.
u/Winn check my other reply, but also this:
From the inception of Social Security until 2008 or so, you only needed an address and a name to request a new social security card.
Not only was the number itself a completely insecure, but the method of getting access to documented proof was as well.
Oh and it’s illegal to use a social security number as an identifier.
Also, I forgot about issuing loans (commercial and savings banks need to be reseparated btw). Banks need ID to issue loans to be sure of nationality, per u/bubble_bursts
Although actually, loans need to go back to a more sensible method. Pure fiat loans are probably insane (no withholding, loan creates new money, interest to pay the loan isn’t created). Fully backed loans may make capital too scarce. Crypto and AI may make it possible for anyone to be a loan issuer / funding supplier. We are going to be needing entirely new financial system(s).

Hmmm. An ID to access funds from a bank vs. a password to access an email inbox seem different.
Sidenote, love the geocities.com reference!! Takes me back to the glory days of Netscape Navigator, AltaVista and excite.com.
