Talk:Masonic Child Identification Programs

message: I thought this was a franchise, though MasoniChip claims it was started by Masons in CA, MN, and so forth.  However, as CA now has a CHIP program that's not "Kids ID", I'm going to venture a guess that it was a franchise, and it was used until CHIP was developed, and thus I'm not going to use MasoniChip's information regarding it, because it may no longer be an officially used program.  I have had no luck on the brochure as of yet. MSJapan 17:21, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've read conspiracy theories that talk about expanding the chip to everyone on earth, a bit like vaccines. I'd bet there are plenty of criticisms and controversies already available for this. ADM (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That would make sense if this had something to do with computer chip implants, but it doesn't.  Maybe if you had actually taken 30 seconds to read the article you would know what was actually involved in the process instead of just coming to a conclusion based on an acronym.

replies: text: That has to be the most amusing post I have read in a while... chips for everyone! HA! Actually, the Grand Lodges should have known the tinfoil hat types would misinterpret this one when they created the acronym.  Makes you wonder what other programs we could come up with that would spell out buzz words for the paranoid, or would make fun of people who see conspiracies where ever they look.

message: Shouldn't it be ChIP? It's odd to uppercase a letter that doesn't begin a word... eh well. Tyciol (talk) 16:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: No.  Every CHIP program uses the same abbreviation, and it is CHIP in all caps. MSJapan (talk) 16:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Abbreviation

message: Would I be correct to presume this is a program run by Regular Masonic jurisdictions of the England-descended variety rather than France's? I wouldn't guess they'd work together even on something good like this so it would be good to specify whose project it is. Tyciol (talk) 16:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering that it's a US-based program, and in the US French descended Freemasonry is very minimal, I don't see a need for a clarification to be made at this point.  Additionally, as the CHIP websites are part of Grand Lodge websites, it should be fairly obvious on further inquiry as to who is doing what. MSJapan (talk) 17:00, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
