I get the impression that the only thing stopping the Aussie politicians burning books is the risk of bush fire.

okay. instead of complaining about it, why dont we all look at trying to get information about the paper being discussed so that comments about how these restrictions will affect adult gamers who are the majority here.

The save the children argument doesnt even rate 0.1 in this discussion as the parents should have a clue about what their kids are doing on the internet.

Are they going to block phone calls to the stores in the UK or US as well?

I’d hate to be considered treasonous or anything, but a raging horde of gamers will overthrow them in some fashion if the goes through as is.

The only reason these changes would need to be is because the parents arent paying enough attention as is.

All thats going to happen is you’ll have pissed off kids, pissed off adults, lazier parents, and more pissed off adults at the little shits that lazy parents raise.

It seems like we no-longer have freedom of speech.
So now I’m not only told what I can and can’t play, but also what I can’t look at on the internet?

What’s next telling me what time I have to go to bed?

This is ridiculous, sooner or later something’s gotta give.

You know what? I’m going to complain about Age of Conan if this filter eve4r becomes real that game has some objectionable content and isn’t rated by the OFLC, then let’s see what happens when people can buy a game in a store but can’t actually play it.

There is a need for this! Having worked in IT at a primary school, many parents always ask the question of how to prevent thier kids getting access to filth. The ISP needs to be the filter.

The question is though, is the filter an option for parents or are we all going under the rule?

Think of the children… not the teens.
