    In principle I agree with JP. In practice I tend to agree with Chalice.

    I definitely wouldn't vote for a system that makes people submit their DNA to the government.

    The government can't be trusted to keep my national insurance number to itself, so I most certainly wouldn't entrust it with the details of my DNA. Can you imagine how much a DNA profile of everyone in the UK would be worth to, say, a health insurance company.

    I don't trust the government's security measures enough to give them my DNA.

    I'd like it if my Son had his DNA on record, it would be another way for me to look after him. If he went missing, the police would be able to tell if he had been somewhere. I'd like to have a chip in his mobile phone (if he had one) so I could tell if he was going to places that I'd rather he didn't. Further to that, I'd put a GPS chip in his neck so I could track him with my satnav. If I could. When he's old enough, I'll log all of his msn chats and check his internets history. I want to look after him and keep him safe, make sure that the decisions he's making are the right ones according to my values.

    I don't want the government doing that to me. DNA records being kept for people without criminal records is a step in that direction.
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    The health insurance company thing is a worry, but my primary concern is about being cloned

    It would rawk if I was cloned.
    Think how much more interesting this forum would be if there were more of me.

    Also, there would be sleeper clones of my good self, positioned strategically around the world - awakened to their true purpose only when a tachion pulse was sent around the world. Awakened only when world domination could be achieved.

    Me and my clone minions > *.

    That'll be the least of your worries.
    My clones will have a hardwired compulsion to eliminate the stupid, the long-term unemployed and blokes who are aged above 30 but still live with their mam.

    Good for you, nice one
    So don't lie. Just don't tell any unnecessary truths. What's the job for?

    its just some security guard thing, they gave me a numeracy and literacy test a few weeks ago, i did really well on those, but i just worry about interviews so much that the only jobs i seem to get are through friends or shitty jobs nobody wants to do anyway.

    ^^Thats what i keep thinking, im gonna try too hard and fuck it up. I FUCKIN HATE INTRVIEWS!!!1111
