Stupidest thing to ever be banned?

[LawlessSquirrel]

A cup breasts in porn in Australia. i am serious look it up. they banned it for reasons it looks like Loli porn. I can not kid you here.

Agreed with this. Oh no, some people have an increased chance of imagining something illegal is going on, must put a stop to this at once!

That is so very close to thought policing. It's a whole 'if we can pretend it's illegal, it's made illegal' mentality, which is frightening and absurd, yet real.

Homosexuality.

Ethnic minorities.

Abortion.

Freedom Of Speech.

Artistic Expression.

The list goes on. Take your pick. It's stupid to ban anything, we've banned drugs, are there no drugs now? We ban people from speaking their mind, does everybody conform?

The entire concept of banning something just because it offends your feeble sensibilities of "right" and "wrong" is immoral and unjustified, just because you don't agree with someone does not mean that they shouldn't have the freedom to do it as long as it does not harm others.

Things get banned all the time. Sometimes its for legitimate reasons. Other times the reasoning behind seems to of been done by someone with half a brain.

The stupidest i can think of is when china banned football manager 05' for portraying Tibet as a country. China does a lot of stupid stuff but cmon'!

Lame, I mean the US could recognize Taiwan and Hong Kong as independent countries (which Taiwan is but I don't know about Hong Kong)but Tibet is ignored?

Tibet doesn't make cheap crap to keep the Walmarts filled.

Dodgeball from schools.
Kickball from schools.
Pokémon from schools.
Media players from schools (even outside of class time).
Silverware from schools.
Basically anything that schools have ever banned that wasn't drug or weapon-related.

Don't forget conkers. oh wait they allow it IF YOU PUT ON FRIKKIN SAFETY GOGGLES!
Plus I think there was a short time in Greece were videogmes were banned altogether.

Yeah, well I guess that fits with the general trend. The UK laws on child porn ban anything that looks like it could depict someone under 18 >_<

We didn?t ban anything, it was just a rumor.

Yeah, I read that from your earlier post.

But to be fair, my main point still stands. (And it isn't just Australia doing it.)

This, as it's pretty serious. Australia is easily the most right wing, fascistic country in the west, but this is damn ridiculous.

We didn't ban anything, it was just a rumor. And you should look up the definition of fascism.

Bless, did you get asked to change your message? Guess what bud, I was born in Australia, and glad to be out, let me tell you that.

If you actually read what I wrote, you would see that it goes "easily the most" before it says fascistic. I didn't say you lived in a fascistic regime, I said that you were the most fascistic. Which you are.

Your website link incriminates itself. At the bottom it is agreed that a woman's appearance determines whether or not she is seen as suitable or appropriate. Which is where the small boobs thing comes from. If publications are being denied release because of the woman looking young because she has small boobs, that's discrimination and a banning on women with small boobs.

However, if that's not a specific ban enough, let's move onto Australia's refusal to allow "R" rated games.

Flat chests in Australia.
Violent video games in Australia.
Lolicon, shotacon, and all other types of porn that doesn't involve real people in any given part of the world, which means Australia again.
Half of the things banned in Australia.

wait you had kick ball banned?
at school they would encourage us to play it.maybe the teachers were hoping it would become natural selection. although where I live we called it soccer-baseball.

So, AUS has foot long spiders, dingos, stingrays, killer jellyfish, platypuses, giant deserts, kangaroos and plenty of other killer creatures as well as a shitty government. Why does anyone live there?

Hopefully this is the last time I will have to say this WE. DIDN?T. BAN. SMALL. BREASTS.

Your article is wrong, Australia really DID ban small breasts.
... And most videogames... And plastic display weapons... Aaaaand wooden display weapons.
Besides that its openly gay-bashing, zealously religious to the point they imitate the states and not to forget the many many natural disasters...
The only upside would be Steve Irwin... But he's dead now.

Science. Not allowed in Europe for awhile.

Rule of Rose in Britain. Just because Tony Blair misinterperated one scene, and decided a woman fainting into a coffin was "Not acceptable" Really? love to see him getting to the Torture scene in Silent Hill Homecoming...

books.

(I want to elaborate but feel that elaboration would only create loopholes.)

Simply put: books.
