Voter ID wouldn't be so bad if the federal government went out of its way to register all citizens and residents; and giving them valid IDs.

Listen us Americans don't want to be given the Mark of the Beast so the Antichrist will have an easier time tracking us down.

No seriously that's the reason. I didn't make that up. That's why in American the best case scenario is 3-4 IDs, each of which (hopefully) will work some of the time when used in the proper combination.

The most important of which is the unlaminated Social Security card, which doesn't have a photo on it, which is supposed to prove who you are. The number on it is super secret and is used absolutely everywhere.

And that's the tragicfunniest part of this. It's the modern world. A functioning society on a modern Westernized Democracy level has to have a universal ID card. So by demanding we not have one we've been forced to use the closet, which was never designed to be used that way, so it's functionally broken.

//For you dirty furniers here in the United SchoolShootings of Trumpia the closest thing to a "Universal ID" card is our society security card, a literal unlaminted, cardboard card with no identifying information on it and no security features that was only ever meant to be a tracking number for our Social Security benefits but has sort of become our National ID number.
 
And even if you're very careful and a generally neat person a cheap unlaminated card (it's somewhere between thin cardboard and heavy cardstock) gets pretty dirty and beat up after forty years or so. I only take mine out of the house when I start new jobs or do something governmenty, nevertheless it's in bad shape.

We have a similar system in Canada. Like TM said, we're not supposed to give our number to anyone, and yet we provide it literally everywhere; to get a job, a loan, a car, a house, etc.

You also hand them out like sweeties to furriners. I've got one :-)

But that would defeat the purpose of Voter ID laws, wouldn't it?

What are you implying? Just because voter ID laws have often been followed by efforts to shut down locations that provide those IDs in areas with a high population of "undesirable" voters doesn't mean there's a sinister motive.
 
Just to point out, we don't have a Universal ID card here in the UK either.
When the Labour government tried to bring one in there was a bit of an outcry.

When my daughter applied for hers last year we found out that Canada does not even issue cards anymore. They just give you your number and expect you to remember it for the rest of your life.

When I was in college it was our student ID number. We had to use for everything. I will never forget it. In contrast my mother never used hers for anything (born in the thirties) and my kids rarely use theirs as places are phasing it out as unreliable. So, it looks like remembering you SS number will turn out to be a generational thing in the US.
 
I got a kick out of this article.

Some of my favorite lines:

8. "I love cranes. I love trucks of all types even when I was a little boy at four years old my mother would say, 'You love trucks.' "

"I love lamp." -- Brick Tamland

19. "If [Democrats] got in, your fracking is gone, your coal is gone, you guys -- I don't know what the hell you're going to do. You don't want to make widgets, right? You don't want to make -- do you want to learn how to make a computer, little tiny piece of stuff? You put it with those big beautiful hands of yours, look."

"Big beautiful hands of yours." -- The President of the United States.

How can people stand to listen to this moron speak? I've never listened to him for longer than 2-3 minutes at a time, I have to read his stuff so I don't hear his voice. Mentally I read his transcripts in the voice of Archer's Barry.

Yeah, which implies you have to note it somewhere. That's not safer.

That's pretty much our National Insurance numbers. Although mine was at least plastic and like a credit card in the 1980s.

I lost my NI card within approx. 3 hours of receiving it (in 1990). Still remember my number though. I have never actually been asked to produce the card, just asked what my number is.
