This guy is assigned numbers ALL THE TIME!!
I don`t believe in the law suit though.
Interesting. Last time I looked you could buy or sell without a SSN. Where is it on the right hand or forehead? Please tell us how to count the “number” of the SSN to find 666. Show us that wisdom to count it.
No badge at her job either.
“we’ve got preachers far and wide ignoring the plain time references of Revelation, teaching that those events which have already happened are yet to come, and reading the newspapers to see what the Bible means”
Amen, brother.
Well thank you. :-)
“Changing the location of the insertion is not an accommodation.”
No, but it does make the price go up.
:)
Is this HIPAA related, or because they have access to drugs, or what?
Nearly every one is forced into taking an SS number because the government and banking system have made it nearly impossible to transact business without it. However, there is no law requiring a person to take one.
I am not aware of anyone without an SS number having been charged or convicted of failure to file. I personally have known several persons who did not have a number or rescinded their number.
It took some additional effort to live normally, much on a cash basis, but some had bank accounts and one even had credit cards. A couple of them had their own business and one had his own business and also drove a school bus part time. They did not pay Federal income tax.
Further, there is no law requiring parents to obtain a SS number for their child in order to claim them as a dependent. I have read court cases supporting this. However, the IRS instituted additional rules in the mid 1990s creating additional administrative hassles, not laws, to get around the legal precedents and make it much more difficult to claim dependents without numbers.
For example, it used to just require a certified letter from the parent stating that giving your child a number violated your religious beliefs. In the 1990s IRS instituted rules whereby they refuse a refund or attach wages for money owed until you take them to an administrative hearing to prove your point.
Wow, what snark. Let me ask you... Do you know what the penalty is for accepting the mark? Assuming that you do... Is it worth even a 1% chance that you are wrong?
Why not?
This was NOT our equipment. This equipment was installed by three men. We provided them redundant power whips and a dozen CAT6 connections back to our core. We were told to never disconnect the rack for any reason.
IT Security submitted the request for installation, but the hardware was not purchased by nor installed by our company. We were told “it [was] government equipment.” Period.
We weren’t told anything more than that it was government equipment.
The world is full of stupid people and the courts are aiding and abetting them.
The scanner is attaching or embedding noting. It's merely recording and then using that recording for identification. So if this boob is concerned that about the number on his hand or forehead then I hate to tell him this but it might already be there.
The scanner in not attaching or embedding anything, but it is READING something on or in the body. Some of them just read fingerprints or palm prints, but some also read RFID chips, etc.
Even if the scanner just reads a fingerprint, remember that the scanner takes the fingerprint and turns it into a number and compares it to what it has on file. I'm not saying I think a biometric scanner is the Mark of the Beast - but I can understand someone wanting to be sure, considering the eternal consequences.
As does an xray, a CAT scan, any sort of financial transaction, just about anything one does in the world today. So I guess we're all damned for all eternity.
Once again, you need to know your Bible, and you also need to know how a biometric scanner works. The Bible talks about the Mark being a number "in the right hand or forehead". A biometric scanner does not actually compare the image of your fingerprint or retina with another image - it uses an algorithm to convert the image of the fingerprint into a number and compares it to what is on file.
I'm not saying I agree that a scanner is the Mark of the Beast, but considering the stakes, I cannot condemn this person for being cautious.
Please see my responses to terycarl and others.
These are not financial transactions. The Mark is specifically said to be used to that "no man may buy or sell unless he have the Mark..."
...any sort of financial transaction,
If you must use a scanner for ALL financial transactions, then we are in big trouble.
Since this person was being required to use the scanner to get paid (a financial transaction), and it was scanning a part of his body, he had concerns and chose to take a stand for the sake of his soul. Exactly who are you to decide he is wrong in his belief? And do we want the government or even employers deciding which beliefs are valid? Because if we are going to allow that, you know that all beliefs against abortion and homosexuality will immediately be deemed invalid, and any objections to the same will be deemed illegal discrimination.
