Off-topic

There wasn’t a thread on this. It’s pretty scary.

Here’s a video on the topic.

Wow, let’s just let the government choose what you can and can’t do. That doesn’t sound like freedom to me.

Australia’s free-er than America matey.

i think the world is becoming less free

Hmm, we had the same problem with the download limits here in Belgium (not with censorship). This problem got solved because Microsoft wrote a complaint to our government. Microsoft wanted to give extra services, but this wasn’t possible with the small limits. A year ago we could only download 25Gb for like 45 euro. Now it’s 75Gb for 45 euro. I hope Australia finds a reasonable solution, since crappy internet is very frustrating xD.

This is happening all over the world, not just Australia, china etc

Slow/crap internet inst really the main concern for me, but the government being able to control what information people get.

TheJoker = the most patriotic person on the forums.

I’ve seen you post many times about how much Australia is than the US.:slight_smile:
(i’m not saying you’re right or wrong or it’s good or bad… just an observation!)

yea! i love Australia!

my first of 2 tattoos i want is going to be a southern cross on my back: top star on my neck, side stars on my shoulders, bottom star on my lower back.
on the up side, when i get old and wrinkly, i wont be able to see it to feel bad about myself :slight_smile:

(a southern cross is a crucifix shape with a star at the end of each line)

Come to Australia one day, you’ll understand why we all love it so much :slight_smile:
