[QUOTE=Hellreaver;45237404]Ban 18+ video games in Australia; because when everything there can kill you, what would really hurt you is the word fuck.[/QUOTE]

Things get R18 ratings for drugs/violence not for swearing.

We should pull a bugs bunny and saw Western Aus off and then fire it into orbit.

Boom! We rename it Space Australia!

What if a games dialogue was just curse words with inflections and tone shifts to indicate meaning and emotion?

I think that would get R18.

[QUOTE=GoldenDargon;45234009]What's with Australia and wanting to ban everything that is even remotely dangerous?[/QUOTE]

Video games aren't even remotely dangerous.

[Pantz Master]

So the games are designated for people 18 and older, yet they want to ban them because they think they will harm children?

the current administration of the australian government is little more than a joke so no big surprise there

[Noss]

cunts isn't even a good enough word to describe these people

fuck these corrupt thundercunt twatshits, i can't believe shit like this is even happening in the 21st century

one step forward and two steps back

[PsychedelicLiz]

Are Australians really trying to ban the one thing that doesn't kill in Australia?

[reevezy67]

Banning worked with guns..

But guns can kill people.
