The Catholic church's genocidal position on condom use is happening right now and is a core part of the religion.

The net censorship in Australia is driven by religious ideology. Bad ideas are religion's gift that just keeps on giving.

Bwaaaahahahaha!! Golden. Never grows old.

My understanding is that his father Keith Murdoch

was actually a quality journalist whose actions helped to bring attention of the gross mismanagement of Australian troops in the first world war.

He passed on the news limited shares that Rupert used to build the empire. So arguably there was a quality journalist among the Murdoch media empire membership.

Mmmm. "naked women" shows up images largely of just that but "naked japanese women" shows up pretty much everything but what you'd expect.

Bing also failed me in my quest for "naked italian women" but it did turn up a picture of someone underwater which could possibly have been a naked Italian woman under the Santa suit.

Either Microsoft feel that it's not appropriate for me to choose the ethnicity of my naked women or they've got some tuning left to do.

I've never actually installed Oracle so I'm genuinely curious as to why installing something that's "Enterprise" oriented should be difficult.

I appreciate that more work might go into tuning your hardware/OS to make it hum, but "sensible defaults" seem to work elsewhere. Why not provide an easy install that you then optimize?

So, if I understand you correctly, you seem to be saying "You can't stop the music." Can nobody stop the music?

Ok, in all seriousness. What evidence do you have for making the claim that your laws are based on Christian morality?

It makes no more sense than saying that the rules on the school bus are based on Christian Morality.

• No sticking your arms out the window
  Because God doesn't like it
• No sticking chewing gum under the seats
  Because Jesus died for your sins

The reason that there's a law against killing people is because people don't like being killed. They don't need a deity to tell them that if they don't discourage killing people that they're more likely to be killed themselves.

Any laws against sodomy your country has almost certainly stem from religious bigotry. Unsurprisingly, they're among the most useless and harmful.

Yeah, from memory Christ was particular down on pirating MP3s but came out strongly in favor of software patents.

I think you mean pull thy head from thy neighbor's ass.

Well there should be. If one managed to prevent the production of such material then I would not complain.

You seem to be buying into the idea that this is about protecting children. Or at least the bizarre idea that it's ok for children to be abused as long as we don't accidentally tune into it.

What's becoming increasingly clear is that it is not about protecting children. It is about enforcing views and most of those views appear to stem from theological rather than rational origins.

Even if that one person is a game reviewer?

Whilst I completely agree with you, you've just given me an insight into what it must be like to be an Iranian or a citizen of Oklahoma.

I doubt that most Australians agree with this legislation. Actually, I think that most haven't thought about it enough to see the seriousness of it. But that's really the point. The filter in its current form has not been put to the electorate for a vote.

Do you only download movies that you have no intention of seeing?

Don't bother to respond. I only ask questions if I don't care what the answer is.
