Escaped that noose, maybe, but you're still stuck in a socialist nanny-state.
Aren't there any men in the UK/Australia?

pfft
Socialism > Capitalism anytime just like Europe>America...
and for those americans who don't believe me, try living in a 3rd world country... oh no, you already do!
on the issue of australian politics, do they really have to put something on the barbie at every voting station or is that just the bbc fucking with our minds :S....
also L4D australian version sucks balls XD
several sausage sizzles took place, yes. it's probably compulsory.
Voted for the Sex Party yet?
i preferenced them pretty highly.
I honestly don't care who wins the election. Both are completely unremarkable in every way.
a lot of people say that, but there is quite a lot of difference between them, for example on the issue of internet censorship.
I voted for the Sex Party.
I actually read their policies and agreed with them.... also sex is awesome and gooey.
the rise of the minor parties has begun! i haven't heard how they went yet though.
I'm rather happy about the increase of Greens in the upperhouse that can now have an impact on any new legislation, but apart from that I've lost the energy to care- for the weeks leading up to it I got all my news from Al Jazeera so I could hear about something else apart from the election. Everything was about kissing babies and smear campaigns as opposed to actual policies. I think Tony Abbot's lack of competence is more significant than how often he plays sport with some schoolkids.
yeh, i totally lost interest around week 2, it was only election day that i started paying attention again. i don't watch much tv so i wasn't exposed in the mean time.
Yeah.. that kinda sucks. I hope they lift the censorship for you guys soon. but I got 2 questions for you...
1. IF the censorship lifts, does that mean we would be seeing more randy then we would like?
2. Where in fact IS the walrus pit?
they haven't imposed censorship at this point, they planned to though.
2. look deep inside your heart, there's a little walrus pit inside every one of us.
"Sexual-Lobster responds: look deep inside your heart, there's a little walrus pit inside every one of us."
Errrr... there is a walrus pit inside my heart?!...
Is that terminal?...
its more of a metaphorical pit, a gaping whole of nothingness that needs to be filled by walruses, only walruses are a metphor for whatever you decide. money, ham, etc.
sounds good bro
wow
so isn't it dangerous for you to send out those pleasure island flash shows or do you just slip by security or something? cause i love the pleasure island videos
all of my animating is conducted within the confines of a large cardboard box hidden in safe place! i live in constant fear!
no as i understand it the censorship would have applied to stuff that is refused classification by the ratings board, so it would have to be pretty nasty stuff. the problem i have with it is that the level of censorship, plus the monitoring on individuals, could be easily increased. i just hate the idea of federal employees having the power to monitor my browser history.
so even if it was made law, the pleasure island series wouldn't be nearly bad enough.
if the filter does pass would you make an animation with all the things the filter is supposed to ban? Eg. Gore, sex etc.
heheh i think it would just mean that not many people inside of australia would see it and everyone outside of australia would be bewildered and possibly appalled.
could someone just build a machine that kills anyone who tries to censor the internet? i think we can all agree on having one of those.
but what if the people who build the machine decide they want to kill someone else?
1/6 people threw the ballots in blank.. thats why its so fucked up... there both bullshit so people are just like fuck it.. im voting for ya mum!
it was 6%, not 1 in 6, but that is still considered very high.
It is really great how you respond to every single comment. It really shows that you are committed to your fans!
i guess with this post i wanted to start a discussion - probably a lot of posters here aren't fans.
(And your politics!)
i'm passionate about this issue, thats for sure. as for the rest of politics, i treat it like the real life soap opera it is, my interest fades in and out.
It seems that the past Australian government had too much pride and insecurity. They actually banned The Simpsons episode where they go to Australia and they removed the Aboriginal article on Encyclopedia Dramatica. What's their problem? Why aare they banning such insignificant things with no real direct influence on the government? I heard even Steam was banned from there. Why?
are you certain those things are true?
i've seen that episode on tv numerous times, and they don't actually have the ability to ban internet pages as it stands now, they TRIED to have it taken down. i've been to it as well.
I heard that Steam wasn't allowed. To be exact, I was told that Google had it directly taken down by orders of the Australian government. Don't they also have a big web-filtering proxy designed to take down these kinds of things. It slows down web traffic, so that probably correlates to the problem of a slow Internet.
As for the Simpsons episode, I just remembered it was removed when it first aired. Guess they lifted that by now.
I wanted to act like I don't understand this, so you can make something in regards on how American's dont know anything about Australia. However, I totally see where your coming from. (Australia of course)

I had to larf at the guy who said "no idiots in charge". So how do you propose we exterminate politicians?
