Angry Rant #27: Again with Klingons...

This government just doesn't get it.

They don't know how to separate church from state.

Last week, there was some serious progress made towards having an R18+ category for Video Games, but alas, that bastard Australian Christian Lobby group has stuck it's nose in again. Our last major blockage for having that rating in Australian was the South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson, who has since resigned from the position.

But after the elections in Victoria, their new premier Robert Clarke, seems to be siding with the ACL. This argument has become so mind-numbingly fucking stupid, that if I was to ever actually speak with someone at the ACL, it wouldn't be very pleasant. Since all of the States and the Federal Government need to agree on the change for it to happen, it's now become even more difficult for that legislation to pass through.

But not as difficult as trying to reach the top of this flag pole.

This is where it gets worse.

Since the elections in NSW, Fred Nile and his Army of nut-job Christians have gained more power in the senate, so if our newly elected Premier, our own Barry O'Farrell, would like to put new legislation through regarding any other issue, it will have to get a nod of approval from Fred Nile - but Fred Nile will only approve of such legislation if the Liberal Party backs some of their extremist views points - i.e. opposing an R18+ category because it would make it easier for kids to get a hold of violent video games.

Is that because there aren't violent video games on the market that kids can't play?

Child 1: "We have to kill this hooker!!"
Child 2: "Yeah, but before that, we have to blow a hole
in the mo' fo's skull for getting in on our drug deal."

So, it looks like all the adults in the country get the short end of the stick - yet again. If you want a copy of Mortal Kombat, you'll be importing that puppy from your estranged 13-year-old drunk cousin in Texas who shoots at cars as they drive by his house from his rocking chair.

You're typical Religion-hating Hillbilly.

So after all the back and forth nonsense of not actually getting anywhere, what is the only solution? It's pretty simple actually. All the people in power who oppose this idea, need to die out. Literally, they need to just let time do it's thing and BAM! We'll have our rating. Within the next five years, we'll have our first Prime Minister who'll be an X-gener, so until then, import or pirate if you're dying to get it.

Don't believe the lies and spin.
