I already did post a reason. Here it is again:

If an ID card were introduced, the state gains the right to require me to identify myself to one of its representatives, should they have reason. Thus, a liberty that I currently have is removed. Hence 'infringement of civil liberty.'
We can argue about whether this loss is justified given the current circumstances, but the 'loss of civil liberty' is self evident.

Now, read my last post again. I didn't call your reasons 'stupid'; I said that I think if all you have to say on the issue is that 'it's stupid to object' to ID cards, it proves my point that you don't actually
have any reasons.
Anyone can say 'I like this because it's good' or 'I don't like this because it's stupid.' I'm asking you to do a little better than that and actually post some reasons
why you believe what you do.
I'll give you a clue: 'Because it's stupid' is not a reason.
