    Oh really? So far I haven't committed any crimes (= have nothing to hide), yet I don't like people poking their noses into my life even if it won't result in me feeling fear. Other feelings (exasperation, indignation, insecurity) are not pleasant to experience either.

    There are other ways of internet access besides SIM cards. By the way, Estonia provides free Wi-fi all over the country (= no internet access registration) yet I can't remember any terroristic attacks there and crime isn't that rampant.

    Ok. You convinced me. Having everything registered as it is in Germany, the UK or in Russia makes society much safer than in Romania or Ukraine... wait a bit! weren't there any terroristic attacks resulting in numerous casualties in Ukraine which is at war or in Romania? Hardly. Weren't there any in Germany and the UK recently or in Russia in 2000? Register 'em all, way to go.
    Now we're deep in Gilrandir-type discussion territory and I'll just say that what you say is partially pointless, some of it I have already answered and the rest mostly misses the point. I'm not really interested in continuing the discussion for five or twenty pages though, so have a nice day.

    The laws of SIM-card registry are being proposed, but they never made it into law. They're trying though. Every year.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    This is a different case. In banks you ASK FOR MONEY from them, so they have a right to know who you are. In case of SIM cards you PAY MONEY to buy it, so no one is supposed to display such an interest.

    If you are so pro-registering, I wonder why you don't give your real name registering at the Org. Generally I may note that your evaluation of the discussion is arbitrary, so have a nice day too.

    Let's hope they will never pass it. Both in Romania and in Ukraine.

    Just so you can stop wondering: Because if your analogy worked, you could then only read the Org after getting permission from a judge after proving to him that I'm likely dangerous, and being a member of the police force of course...

    Since you are back in the discussion it means your day wasn't that nice after all?

    We actually have Husar's name, address and phone number at the Org. Enough to keep him as our slave.

    Nah! Not enough. Pin code of his credit card would do it better.
