We just dont need them, bar none they are farking useless and cost tax payers billions upon billions each and every year and deliver nothingto quote the national anthem " We are young and free " codswallop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 16/12/09 07:07 AM Share Posted 16/12/09 07:07 AM the only way we would be able to get rid of the state govt is for them to vote themselves out....Unfortunately even they arent stupid enough to vote themselves out of a job and a nice fat pension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like anyone would trust some f*ckface on the web about how much smack I should dang into my eyeballs FFS!from there it will keep extending as our new soon to be totalitarian government deems fit - youtube vids depicting anything illegal (burnouts fist fights etc) will be next I reckon and onward from there.. problem with legislation like this is the 'creep' factor it allows - it can always be modified and extended without huge changes to the legislation and without the public even knowing.welcome to Orwellian '84. 10-20 years from now this country will be a total pile of sh*t unless the govt stops overregulating everything.

wiresquire Member 266 Member For: 20y 23d Posted 17/12/09 01:12 PM Share Posted 17/12/09 01:12 PM (edited) Basically, I think everyone's concern is that sure, it might catch the most obvious offensive stuff that err, most people here wouldn't be looking at anyways, but:a) the nasty guys are already using methods that will bypass this; same way that kiddies took 15 mins to bypass it at schools. Anyone on the technical side of IT understands how trivial this is to achieve. That's mainly why you see techy's and ISPs against it. Seriously, it's like sticking your thumb in the dyke. Err, maybe that would be banned too.b) the ease with which this could be expanded. Some may say that our political parties are as offensive as the things to be banned mentioned above, of course, I would never say that.c) the way the government are assigning what is 'bad' and cannot be viewed is not transparent or well defined, so, eg, if someone gets a ban placed on fordxr6turbo.com because the post above mentioned some 'bad' things, then it is very uncertain if this entire website would be inaccessable, for how long, or what might need to be done to . Imagine this entire website just disappearing because of that. What a great loss of knowledge to the ford community that would be.Now multiply that times every website....d) Look, the internet has never and never will be a 'private' place. You should always assume that everything you do is public. Irrespective of Australia's right to 'snoop' on what you do on the internet, that doesn't apply to any other organisation or government. And you do know which websites you go to and where they are hosted, right? And which internet pipes they go over, right? And I wonder what reciprocal rights are in place for the exchange of information between Australia and those governments?OMG - they are here for me now. Somebody help....<NO CARRIER> Edited 17/12/09 01:18 PM by wiresquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
