    Liking small breasts isn't the same as raping children at all!
    Tell that to the Australian government.

    I hate censorship and it is sad to see other nations mobilizing to follow their example.

    Oh please, everybody knows that "Anonymous" is really just 4chan and its sister sites. Worst kept secret on the internet.
    Everybody is not actualy everybody in society. 4chan is just a subculture on the internet. Even if you know about 4chan you can aviod it.

    I think it's disgusting that the fascist regime would dare to censor our internet. Soon Australia will be as slow net wise as Iran or China! No way! Hands off our internet Rudd!

    It's funny that because many are claiming Rudd is a communist what with his frequent trips to China and all and they're claiming Australia will turn in to a "communist country" because it's following the examples of China and the like.

    Haha! That's a laugh. Rudd is a fascist. I hope one day Australia becomes Communist, but we need to organise and fight for that.

    Careful with your free usage of the term 'fascist'.

    indeed, if you are a woman with small breasts, be wary of mens who are attracted by you. don't leave them alone with childrens.
    Honestly, our government is a complete joke.

    What really grinds my gears is how everyone treats Rudd differently because he's not John Howard. My mother does this so much but it actually seems to be prevalent in Australian society amongst people with liberal attitudes. They wouldn't support Howard's treatment of refugees or the Work Choices legislation but they don't give a shit that Labour is locking up refugees in conditions worse than our prisons and re-opening Curtin DC while the ABCC terrorizes construction workers under legislation that Rudd has done nothing about, I mean a lot of Work Choices was never even axed anyway. They say Rudd is having a hard time and he has good intentions, I say bull-fucking-shit.

    Truly, if John Howard wanted to censor our internet you would see so much liberal rage over it.

    I doubt you would see much liberal rage over it at all. There are a few liberals that support the plan, even if many of them (particularly Joe Hockey and his boys) vehemently oppose it. I reckon a certain amount of the opposition would decrease if they were actually in power though. So yeah, how would you see "so much liberal rage over it"? The liberals tend to be pretty supportive of their own policies when they are in power. They don't self-criticise much.

    I'm talking about liberals in general as opposed to the Liberals.

    Relating to what you said about Joe Hockey, I actually remember seeing a video or an article of some sort where he gave a speech on freedom.

    Not entirely related, but still amusing.

    Wait a second, was there really some sort of issue over there about small-breasted porn being compared to pedophilia, or were you guys just joking? I'm ignorant of Australian politics.

    I think most liberals in general don't particularly care about the internet given they are mostly wealthy people and business owners. Like I said, their partisan support is more relevant to them than concerns about the internet, and they do love it when one of their own is in power (such as Howard).

    Mollymae: The government wanted to include depictions of small-breasted women because they supposedly resemble under-18 females in the censorship.

    apparently it isn't small tits porn. but it could be a factor if a woman who is 18 looks too young. the point of it was mostly banning high school uniform and the porn actress stating her fictional age.

    if you attack a posh shop like Starbucks, the poor people wouldn't care. Some of them would actually like it because you make rich kids frown. They actually get more pissed off if you do those peaceful, long marches that cause traffic jams because they all use public transport. -thomasludd

    ahh, I see. I don't think I would agree with outlawing that sort of thing, but some of the porn that flaunts youth can be kind of disturbing. For example, there's an adult film store in my town that has a sign that advertises "BARELY LEGAL films!"
