[QUOTE=Roo-kie;28987528]it's basically because you think you have something you actually don't[/QUOTE] What an incredible, well thought-out response. It was full of detail and a wonderful read. But to be a little critical, I feel it was a bit long.
You cannot possibly be so stupid as to believe that we dont have our first ammendment rights. The fact that you can even say we dont have those rights without being arrested proves that we do.

Brazil's sure fucked up too, but at least we can play our vidya games. (We've gone through banishing violent games once, what happend is that steam's sale of counter-strike: source on Brazil raised a shit load, after that, they've got that law down, and we can finnaly be happy) "There are claims that “vested commercial interests” are attempting to force an R18+ rating through with “propaganda”. " Conspiracy theory much?
[QUOTE=bobsmit;28987667]You cannot possibly be so stupid as to believe that we dont have our first ammendment rights.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;28985113]You know, I like reading articles about stuff like this. It's good to know that America isn't the only country with a fucked-up, incompetent, government.[/QUOTE] Every goverment has its issues, its just human nature. However some issues are more apparent than others.

I doubt you'll get him to say directly "I'm an idiot".
I am an idiot [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] Oh and why so serious ITN

Fuck off I want my R18 rating
Every one who voted for a liberal government in my state (vic) is fucking stupid. End of.
"No son, small tits will make you fuck 11 year olds in a group of 8" "No son, ripping someone in two with your hookswords after beating them to death in a badass superbrawl will lead to you doing it in real life" "No son, violent games will lead to mass murders" -"can i say something?" "What" -"How many times has this ACTUALLY happened?" "Uueuuugh"
[QUOTE=Contag;28989489]Every one who voted for a liberal government in my state (vic) is fucking stupid. End of.[/QUOTE] Are you talking about Australia? I thought the Labor party was the one pushing all this censorship and whatnot while the Liberals were all about theocracy.
[QUOTE=Jorori;28985186]I think almost every country has a fucked-up and incompetent government[/QUOTE] Yeah but I feel that America really stands out in this case...
[QUOTE=Aredbomb;28990144]Are you talking about Australia? I thought the Labor party was the one pushing all this censorship and whatnot while the Liberals were all about theocracy.[/QUOTE] It's a whole lot more complicated than "This party will do it and this party won't". Also Liberal is sort of closer to republicans than American Liberal in comparison, but really both parties suck at the moment.
[QUOTE=Contag;28989489]Every one who voted for a liberal government in my state (vic) is fucking stupid. End of.[/QUOTE] you voted so you're stupid?
[QUOTE=Roo-kie;28991192]you voted so you're stupid?[/QUOTE] He said "for a liberal government" as well I'm either misunderstanding you or ITN needs a smarked rating
[QUOTE=Roo-kie;28991192]you voted so you're stupid?[/QUOTE] :| Pretty sure Contag is referring to the Liberal party, not liberals in general. [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;28990422]Yeah but I feel that America really stands out in this case...[/QUOTE] This has nothing at all to do with America, so why are you suggesting this?
[QUOTE=gman003-main;28985113]You know, I like reading articles about stuff like this. It's good to know that America isn't the only country with a fucked-up, incompetent, government.[/QUOTE] The US government just TRIES to pass stuff like this, but it never actually goes through
[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;28991865]The US government just TRIES to pass stuff like this, but it never actually goes through[/QUOTE] Not really. Often they try and introduce regulations on who the games are sold too, but they often fail.
[QUOTE=DogGunn;28991875]Not really. Often they try and introduce regulations on who the games are sold too, but they often fail.[/QUOTE] Like I said, it doesn't actually happen
for fuck sake reading that makes my blood boil,
Their incompetence is so ridiculous that it just reached the point of absolute hilarity
this is worse than debating religion, fucking hell its so simple, games should be treated as movies!
I remember having to do a huge assignment over this last year for school. Short answer: I personally don't give a fuck but I think the Australian govt should recognize that most Australians are big and bad enough to deal with R-18+ games They're all "Oh lawd think of da chilluns" and I think to myself "Uh, R-18+ games shouldn't be in the hands of children anyway." [editline]5th April 2011[/editline] Well maybe the new governor general will do some thinking about it but I can't see it happening. Ah well, no loss. Always other means of acquiring them
Gotta love how some minor lobby (Australian Christian Lobby) have no evidence and jackshit power and yet have such a big "voice" in Australian politics.. Brendan O'Conner is one of the few good politicians in Australia, sigh.
I feel sorry for aussie land :(
Well its confirmed that i offically don't like Australia anymore, even more then i hate vegemite. (I am Australian)
"Son you cant have mortal kombat" -"why?" "Violence, partiall nudity, and more violence, plus gore" -"but you let duke nukem in without change and it has duke fucking a wall" "Uuueegh"
[QUOTE=Xonax;29008144]Well its confirmed that i offically don't like Australia anymore, even more then i hate vegemite. (I am Australian)[/QUOTE] Haha, your not a true blue Australian if you hate Vegemite. To the detention center for you.
