Brazilian Schoolchildren Tagged By Computer Chips 288
New submitter smi.james.th writes with an AP story, and extracts from it: "'Grade-school students in a northeastern Brazilian city are using uniforms embedded with computer chips that alert parents if they are cutting classes, the city's education secretary, Coriolano Moraes, said Thursday.' Personally I don't find this too inspiring. Mr. Orwell certainly has warned the world about this."

Doing this with chips is barbaric.
No, it's British. The American way would be doing it with fries.

Ah yes, the conservative mentality: children are pets of their adult owners.
Conservatives are the ones for freedom and elimination of government oversight at all levels.
Liberals are the ones who do things "for your own good".
Get it straight man or you end up voting for exactly the opposite result as you desire. See: present.

Look.... as far as cuisine goes.... you both (America and British) are like two ugly fat chicks arguing about who is uglier.
Americans got Mac'N'Cheese, everything drowned in ketchup, and the nastiest processed food on Earth, .... and ... you Brits got spotted dick, the traditional breakfast with those charcoal briquettes of fried blood, and some of the most bland tasting food of all time. All the more hysterical since you practically invented the Spice trade.
Anything good in America was imported along with immigrants. Quite frankly, the only uglier chick in the room is Indian cuisine. Not hard to see why they are rail thin peoples.
Counter-intuitively, you would expect Chinese and Thai people to be fat as fuck, since that is some seriously, seriously tasty food.
When was the last time you were messed up on a couch with some people all craving British food?
Now I will give props to the British for their lecherous and lazy gambler that invented the sandwich. One of the best culinary inventions in the last thousand years. The best being, of course, the chocolate covered peanut.
