and the ironic thing is they say protect the children but there doing the complete opposite.
if they had a R18 children wouldent be able to play these games.
im 19 now when i was 15 not once did i get asked for ID for a MA game, not once.
my cuz just turned 15 3 weeks ago he looks like his 13 hes never been asked for ID for MA games.
but every time i rent something R rated im allways asked for ID, there alot stricter with R than MA which is understanding.
personaly i cant see the big deal.
i was 13 when i watched my first R rated movie, i played duke nukem and doom when i was like 10, it has not destroyed me.
the reason we will never get a R18+ rating in this county is because well NSW is the only state opposing it and surprise surprise 90% of NSW politicians are strong Catholics.
another example the protest they had against dantes inferno threatening to boycot ea and such because its a game about hell.
untill we get religion out of our politics we will never get a R18+

i know its realy annoying, but what can we do.
and im not worried about the internet filter.
1 it will take them forever to pass the law IF it gets passes.
2 i give them 2 days and it will be hacked.
where theres a will theres a way.
im more worried about god of war 3 theres no way thats getting through,and if the filter is up by march (seems impossiable to me but knowing my luck) i wont be able to import it

Funny thing is, I think it’ll get through, yet they’ll clamp down on the internet filtering and make sure we can’t by any game suitable for adults (18 and above) – in order to ‘protect the children’. (The latest catch-cry for “concerned citizens)

If they gave games like this a simple R18+ (meaning restricted for those over 18) then families – parents etc would know that this little red ridding hood is NOT SUITABLE for young Hilary who’s just turn 10 . . . But no, they will not do that, that’s just way too bloody simple because we already have the classification but not using it, and wouldn’t cost much to implement because it’s already there.
