So you need ID to open a bank account, buy a car, get a library book, get a passport, and in California you will need it to buy ammunition, but you don't need it to prove your eligibility to vote? That is just backwards, how do you prevent voter fraud? How exactly does it discriminate?

Lorne Thomas Haven't read the article, but I assume it's too high a bar since you have no national or state, government ID.

Who doesn't have a drivers license? Driving without a license is a crime in all states and in Washington, D.C.

The US has a national ID? When did that happen?

Passport, Military ID, ICE ID, TSA ID, Passport Card, the list goes on and on. What world do you live on, oh ya I forgot, political propaganda and talking point world.

A "national ID card" implies it's something required by law to be obtained by all citizens. All those you listed are either (a) employee IDs or (b) voluntary. Or both.

There you go again with your ignorance. An ID issued by the federal government or one of it's agencies is legal proof of Identification. Such an ID is recognized across boarders with in the US and it's territories as well as being recognized by foreign governments that the US has relations with.

You really have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Not a single one of those qualifies as in-state ID. Voting rules are determined by the state. And foreign nationals can get passports or military IDs.

You are still showing your naiveté because I all ready stated the State ID. Are you pushing for a single National ID along with the National Police Force that is being hinted at?

Good for you, Douglas McMillan​. Lorne likes to embarrass himself publicly. I think he gets off on humiliation.

Hold on Jason ON , you are saying that you are in favor of a national ID to trump all states ID's and the 10th amendment, right?

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
