Every place has problems. Not every place has stripped away the essence of what makes The Internet so great: the complete and utter freedom to express oneself without censorship.

Almost every problem is repairable, but at least in the US we aren't constantly trying to make things worse for adults who enjoy electronic entertainment.
I just feel that being censored is less important than being charged to not die, getting cancer from GM food or even losing biodiversity because "the market" demands a uniform cash crop.

Ah, but enough of me derailing the thread:

Australia, The Fascist Years.
Mussolini would be proud!
Can I just say that there is no evidence for a link between GM foods and Cancer?

Holy shit, I really feel sorry for you guys out there. I guess you could always move here to Canada. Sure its pretty cold in winter, and sure we don't have tropical beaches, but hey free health-care and no censorship!

Alternatively, learn to use proxy servers. It may slow your internet down abit, but it should let you by-pass the filtering. Of course I can't guarantee that, but its worth a shot.

When I said that Austrailia was making a move towards becoming more like China, I was joking.

Now I'm not. This isn't funny. This isn't right. This isn't fucking fair on the Austrailians!

What if they block us? We'd lose many of our nice members! And Yahtzee!

Seriously, either flee or revolt, THIS SHIT WILL NOT FLY!

What an annoying little program. Runs on stupid.

Seriously, after hearing that the filter clogs up non-porn websites, it makes one want to facepalm to the point that they knocked themselves out.

Hey, don't get them all to move to Canada - its where all the British are going to flee too should the horde be stupid enough to vote in the neo-nazi BNPs.

People just want to disappoint their ancestors.

Pfff, China isn't communist.

They're just pretending.

FUCK!

FUCKING HELL, RUDDY, PICK UP YOUR FUCKING ACT.

IF ALL OF AUSTRALIA HATES YOUR FUCKING REGIME, YOU FUCKING CHANGE IT.

WE DON'T NEED A NANNY STATE.

Yeah China is still totalitarian but with private enterprise

"So wait, they are totalitarian but aren't communist, does that make them fascists?"

Hmm. And Australia is trying to emulate this and in fact use the same internet censorship technology FOR ZEE GOOT OV ZEE CHILDREN!!! To make Australia more Racially morally pure.

It's like this, complaining about it doesn't do anything. If you have an issue of this sort try and get something done about it. This doesn't mean sit around with some people that already agree with you and whine about it.

Yay! It's like Soviet Russia or Communist China! Now I can officially say this: "Australia sucks! It really, really sucks!" Good luck to all Australians. You're going to need it in the years to come.

I'm with you on this Australia. Although I can't do anything to help, I sure hope Anon will strike hard on those a-holes.

It's always the individuals responsibility to decide what is harmful and what is not. Plus, there was already occurences where completely normal sites where blocked. It's like you try to go to Wikipedia and; "this site holds the glorious peoples' republic of Australia's secret informations you cannot enter until you agree to give your personal informations to the Senator"

If I want to look some shit on the net, it's should be my bussiness! And I'm gonna teach my children what to watch and what to NOT, that's not the governments responsibility.

I don't know what to think though. Can't parents take the time to educate and supervise their children anymore? You get what you order I suppose, Australians let the concerned mothers association take power over there, and this is what happens.

I could say, thank god I live in Finland where all is well and our internet is full of shit.
But this thing will start to spread. Soon we will all live in plastic bubbles and men's nipples will be pixelated in videos.

Remember the story from the Holocaust(paraphrased)... "When they came for the gays I didn't complain because I wasn't gay, when they came for the Jews, I didn't complain because I wasn't Jewish, when they came for the Catholics I didn't complain beacuse I wasn't Catholic, when they came for me... there was no one left to stand up to them."

Never surrender freedoms without a fight, freedom is not stripped away in a grand flourish, it is slowly chipped away one little piece at a time.

If you guys start a revolt or something, I would seriously consider getting of my ass here in Sweden just to go down there and scream a little.

I've been wondering about that myself.
