Good to know my country is not the only one loaded with em. See if you people had guns it would keep zeolots paranoid enough to leave well enough alone. Here in the USA we keep these forces at bay and if they want to bring it, they get it. Thats the American way.
Now yer fucked.
SO you Aussies are gonna get shut down? Thats cool there will be plenty of guys around to replace you. Have fun serving shrimp to the tourists.

The problem arises when a minor party achieves balance of power, ie the house is that divided that one vote can make or break legislation. If the Greens had one just one more seat we'd be fine. We're far more irreligous than the US but the parlimentary system allows for occasional leverage of one's position far beyond the actual constituent representation. It works both ways though. If the Greens got a few more votes they'd be holding the government over the barrel for environmental legislation and decriminalising things.
No. Once again, you're completely ignorant. Guns wouldn't help anything. It's not our culture. In the places where they had the most guns when guns were legal, and the most "independant" culture, porn was the MOST censored. Hell you STILL can't see pussy in Queensland magazines. Not to mention you're ignorant of your own situation. If you think it's guns and not your first amendment rights keeping porn legal you're a fucking idiot. We don't have freedom of speech here, we don't have a Bill of Rights. We only have "inferred" freedom of speech. Thats something America got very right and that we implemented badly coming from the English legal system. We need a Bill of Rights, not guns. lol. You don't know how crazy you'd sound to an average Australian. We have organisations fighting against this and in many ways we streets ahead of you guys in the freedom stakes, just this is one of those quirks of our system than arises. So you have your guns, we have our legal weed, free to air nudity, every-beach-is-a-topless-beach policy and hookers. Personally I think we got the better end of the deal. If we had that much pent up that we went nuts over a nipple slip we'd probably have to go out and shoot guns ourselves. We only get upset when two guys hold a girl down and slap her with their cocks on a reality show and it's broadcast.
Australians have always had a disproportionately large chunk of the online adult business and thats not going to change legislation or not, so i'll keep the
prawns for my own BBQ thanks.
