    Steve,
    can you comment on this? i have been trying to follow it as much as I can (not living there) but this would be more upsetting to me than a game being banned.

    As far as I know this is not going to happen. But yes this would upset me ;)

    #1 How can anyone start a Revolution if they're shut up?
    Gee buddy, you don't need to get all defensive about it. Most of us are from America. Where we have "Freedom of Dissent". That's where it's OK to disagree with your government. Here it's supposed to be ruled by "We the People". That's government "for the people and by the people"!
    Something maybe you and those from the "Land of OZ" citizens don't apparently have (according to your rant)! xD
    Maybe you guys, the EU and the UK (where movies get banned) should have a Tea Party to at least get some basic "Freedoms of Dissent"........!!!
    After all, if you haven''t learned how to make decisions for yourselves, by the time you're old enough to vote, you might never be capable of deciding what you can watch on your own! ;)

    OK, So is Anyone Going to Run for "Queen of Australia" or Not..?..

    Well Eddie. I don't think that "Queen of Australia" is an elected position. Or for that matter, "Queen of Australia" is limited to any one specific position.

    Actually, "Queen of Australia" is a position gained by sheer force of will, overdone eyeliner, and pronouncement. You just have to take the bull by the garter belt and say, "oym tha' Qwain of Aus-trail-ya, mate".

    If the direct approach fails, you could always grab your didgeredoo, and go on tour with the Village People. :rolleyes: The Sydney Opera House eagerly awaits your triumphant arrival. :haha:

    I would be curious to know if "Crocodile Dundee" is still the Minister of Tourism.

    Do they show violent moves in Australia, just curious
  8. wait, "if it edits out the content in question"? and that content is depicting live humans with rabies-like disease? i.e. zombies?

    So the only way valve is releasing L4D2 is if it gets rid of all of the zombies?

    same here . Baffle's me a video game can't have an adult rating . They are clearly living in the past and need to update there rating system .

    Australia has always been the home of less regulation by government. Seems they're having a dirge of conservatism. I can't see Aussie sitting still for being told what they can and can't play, as far as games!
  11. The U.S. is the only place any freedom in really to be had on earth, so if you don't live here your country is already as bad as this. If you do, it's time to wake up, quit complaining, and do something about the huge problem of a non constitutional government. Reading the constitution of one's own accord might be helpful if anyone can't recall it. If you value liberty and freedom to choose that is?
