It's not like Kiwis don't do it all the frigging time either.

Also yeah, hope Nikov doesn't get banned. Not for something as trivial as that anyway. If you're gonna go, go in a ball of fire or simply leave. Don't get done for a trollface.

Also, I look forward to getting nostalgic about when the internet was free and wild 40 years from now.

 Granted just because something like this is proposed means it's gonna pass. Although I don't know how your politics works(And please don't try to explain it to me), but it seems this could go nowhere, like it will.

 And Nikov has been involved in a lot of stuff in the past. While something as simple as this isn't worth a ban having a long track record of pulling crap and getting in trouble will get you removed eventually for being a constant menace who doesn't learn. I'll be sad if he is removed, but if you don't learn from what I assume are previous warnings then you can't really stay.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Back in my day the internet wasn't a safe place! People trying to take your credit card details, and selling you drugs to make your danglys stiff! But there was always the bay12 forums, where everybody knew your avatar...

Mm.

And yeah, it'll probably go nowhere. But if there was nothing to get riled about, what would I do with my day?

Hmmmm. I don't think my internet is censored. I have access to many things. There is even a site informing me how to make IEDs. Of course, they wouldn't dare censor the porn... Would they?

They have been trying to censer anything to do with little kids and animals for a while now, both are illegal.

Truth be told, Australia has been fair with what it is planning to censor. Everything black listed has been illegal, and in a very subjective and debatable way immoral, atleast unethical. Right now, many books and movies are censored, and an unreasonable amount of video games, so the internet, as another medium, isn't immune. The problem is how they want to censor. While with books and movies there is a public black list, the internet black list has been kept private, so we don't know what is being blocked! You can see how this could lead to bad places.

Although that is over here in the land of Aus, rather then the snow plains of Canada.

Quick question, do Australians have a right to free speech, in our constitution? Because if so then I'm going to order The Ragnar Benson Collection.

I believe so.

I also believe we have a constitution.

Neither of these are firm, fact-based beliefs, so perhaps I'm not the best person to be putting forward an opinion.

Freedom of speech isn't exactly what you think it is. Over here it dosn't allow you to say what ever you want and just say 'freedom of speech', it has more to do with not getting arrested for political veiws.
So you could say the PM is not fit for office. Thats fine.
You couldn't say the PM is a slut (Although nobody realy cares enough to charge you). Thats slander.

Yeah, but what about The Ragnar Benson Collection? Its legal in the USA, but it's more or less a how-to guide which focusses on some... esoteric subjects. Like C4. The hunting of man. And building Anti-Tank Rifles. Shit like that.

Dude, we got artistic nudes of under age girls banned. I mean those photos were far from porn, but still... You realy think they are going to let us know how to make bombs? God forbid anybody teach our politics basic chemistry, they will make salt illegal!

But that isn't covered by freedom of speech, with our laws.

Australia is still made of win, even though they ruined Left 4 Dead 2. Damn disappearing zombies and invisible fire.

Convict colony made up of people who stole things like books on gardening and colored swatches. People always forget that Britain sent anyone they could over here.
