Thats exactly it Revhead. I have no desire to look at CP or bomb instructions, but you can guarantee there will be scope creep with something like this. Before long, everything the gov't doesn't like will be censored.

In my opinion, the government is spending FAR too much time and money trying to do parents' jobs for them, which in turn makes parents less responsible, and thus worse parents, so the gov't tries to do more, etc.

We are rapidly coming a police state where the gov't decides everything we do, and I don't like it.

The worst bit is that they believe they're doing the right thing, so convincing them otherwise is likely to be virtually impossible. A bit like trying to convince the pope that religion is wrong lol. The thing that shits me most though is how, despite all the opposition and downvotes and whatnot, they've just decided to do it anyway. People the ilk of the "think of the children" brigade and Today Tonight watchers will probably applaud it, but then they're the types that advocate kneejerk idiocy so why should this be any different.

And yes, I won't be surprised to see it gradually morph into a system similar to the one in China, where apparently they censor anything unfavourable to the govt. Try being in China and looking up anything on Tianenmen (sp?) Square. They just deny it ever happened and censor any reference to it.

How they ever hope to learn from the past by denying its existence is beyond me!

Farken left wing evangelists, get back in your Prius, hug a tree, pat yourselves on the back and GFTO of our internets!

Couldnt have said it better

Well this is possibly the key motive i believe. 'Control' the more they can control the better. Bring in the system under the disguise of protecting and serving. This is similar strategy to what the yanks are doing right now with the Matrix system. Under the disguise of preventing terrorism.

kinda like boiling a frog.. aint it. "If you put a frog in boiling water, it will leap out. But if you bring it to boil slowly, the frog will sit and die"

That would also have the added bonus of cars not being quite so ridiculously overpriced like they are here!

very much looking forward to the cricket, shame im going to be out of the office all arvo

I should hopefully be home at a decent hour, and being the perth test should be able to catch a fair bit of it (I think it goes till about 9pm or something, gotta love those backwater westerners being 2 hours behind )

Thats politicians for you.

What we need is a good old fashioned revolution!

Exactly. I hate it! Govts job is not to control, it is to provide.

Yep. Currently top of my list are NZ south island and Canada.

P.S. Revhead is it you I need to talk to about donating?

[Nismo_Boy]

*moist*

You know it

[Beelzebub89]

ugh read everything no time to reply to everything I want to. My Iphone has died in the ass so I have lost all my contacts swapping back to an old phone. All you bitches txt me so I've got every1s number. John do you still want picking up tomorrow? Let me know what's going on lol. I'm in work atm stealing internets haha.

[Revhead]

Nah not me mate, I don't have access to the bank accounts or anything, the guys down south take care of all that stuff.

The donation option used to be in the My Controls section (under Subscriptions) but as I understand it Christian's turned off donations for the time being. It might come back with the IPB 3 upgrade - if I hear anything one way or another I'll let you guys know

[Smity42]

You know it

And Love it

Ok. They make it hard :S

[Smity42]

They make it hard

That's what she said

[Revhead]

Knew I'd seen some info somewhere:

Donations for the time being are ON HOLD.

I need to make some changes, setup a new PayPal link and redo the way it was all being actioned.

Gimme a week or two, need to have a think about it and im busy with other tasks at the moment.

There are benefits. Increase PM space, flood control removed, PM sending control removed - pretty sure they are the things you get at present.

Don't PM me - i will create a new Announcement on the forum with the information, how to donate, what you get etc etc.

I get too many PM's per day as it is, it'll just get lost

Can donations be made yet?

No.

At present, due to issues with PayPal - it is not possible to provide a time as to when it will be back online either.

So it looks like it will be coming back as soon as PayPal sort out whatever it is that's buggered.

[Smity42]

all very nice, but it means theres no way to escape the flood control

[SilverECR33]

... or move to another country

That would also have the added bonus of cars not being quite so ridiculously overpriced like they are here!

yea Ive thought about that. Moving to somewhere without the rediculus road laws, great living quality and cheap house + land. But on my salary the dream seems so far away

[Smity42]

woooo ran out of stuff to do just in time for the cricket

[Smity42]

If you move, you'll have a different job anyway

From my time spent in NZ south island there appears to be no road rules at all. People just do what they want. Surprisingly, it seems to work pretty well.

Guess thats another good argument for less govt control and more making people responsible for themselves

[Smity42]

and F**K the internet on my phone is broken

[Revhead]

Yeah I've considered BC, parts of Europe, Japan, the US etc. I would consider NZ but a few rellies are from there and they are massive knobends so it's kind of soured me... completely irrational I know but I can't help it haha.

The main thing stopping me for a lot of places is the language barrier, I've seriously considered a move to Japan, I've been there before (albeit briefly) and loved it, and I love the people and the culture (and their cars hehe). Not sure about the 'cheap' bit when it comes to housing and I'm not fluent any more so finding a job that doesn't pay a pittance would be difficult. Parts of Europe would be out for similar reasons. That said I work for a multinational so could possibly get transferred (head office is here in Aus) which might open some options up a little.

It's being seriously considered and we can afford to do it but it's a big leap of faith, and takes us away from our family and friends... sigh, what to do.

woooo ran out of stuff to do just in time for the cricket

Hahaha nice

Ps updated sig, have been meaning to put it there for a while lol.
