What I find amusing is the complete lack of apathy from parents about buying games for their children. From my personal observations at my local EB Games, maybe 5% of parents actually stop buying the game once they find out that their 8 years old kid wants an MA15+ game.

The thing is, it's not completely unbelievable. Convicts have designed things before.RhombusHatesYou said:
I think this is a big waste of time for everyone directly involved.
I am now even more embarassed to be an Australian.
Can I get my Brittish Passport yet? I don't want to live in this Country anymore.
And really who is He to tell me what Is appropriate for me and my siblings?
A bad parent tries to change the world for their Child
A good Parent tries to prepare their Child for the world.
Maybe someone should remind the Australian Branch of the Catholic Church that.

Nice, but South Australia - and the Northern Territories which are largely empty anyway - never accepted convicts directly from England. They weren't penal colonies, just regular colonies.DVS BSTrD said:
SA has a lingering sense of upstanding conservative citizenry (relatively speaking.) Adelaide is informally the city of churches. Even less formally it's where all the best weed comes from.
No one calls SA Australia's arsehole.008Zulu said:
we are considered one of the best states, dont judge a stae by its politicians, judge it by its people
I have never worked in retail although I spend a good amount of time in game stores. From what I've observed, you've summed it up brilliantly.VoidWanderer said:
No, Tasmania is our arsehole. I thought we all agreed on this?008Zulu said:
Tasmania is, well, our Map of Tassie. Isn't that obvious?Last Hugh Alive said:
Anyway, perhaps if John Bunting had played some violent video games he would have had a cathartic outlet for his depraved bloodlust and South Australia and Adelaide in particular wouldn't have the reputation they now have.
It's times like this that makes me wish any person who wants any position in a government needs to undergo "Common sense slap" therapy.
It's not much better here in the US, but at least we had the occupy thing before the media started reporting on it and then people who had no idea what it was really about started to go and the who goal of the movement changed from "Awareness of political corruption from private coperations" to 99% and such.

Ehn, this is actually not a terrible idea. I mean, it's *stupid*, of course, and there has got to be a better way, but Australia has let a lot of R18+ worthy games slip by with MA15+
I'd prefer, you know, just moving the more overtly adult MA games into the higher rating level, but if this is what it takes...

Oh for F***'S SAAAAAKEEEEEEE!!!!!!
I refuse to believe that my own country contains such demented idiots. Overseas, fine, but oh God not in Australia! I used to think we were the sort of progressive ones!
Look, long story short we just have to prevent this sort of legislation until all the old fossils die off or get dementia. I just hope we can stay strong.
EDIT: lol, look at the overreaction I'm having. It's only the sale after all, thankfully, and that won't mean s***. ^^
