Australia, is turning into an e-Tibet ... Get ready for millions of innocent websites dying at the hands of OberFuhrer Robert McClelland.
Yeah, that statement may sound over-hyped today, but come talk to me a year after that thing gets signed into law.
Aussies have gone soft, in the balls (they were already soft in the head -- which was the only good thing keeping democracy alive in Australia until now).

- jlcgull 16y agoI think you will understand how analogy works by watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fI3KEgy6c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-fI3KEgy6c edited to add: Beware, for history repeats itself. Just because heinous crimes were documented in the past is no guarantee that they will not be repeated by spineless authoritarians.
- tkahn6 16y agoAh, I seem to have given you more credit than you deserve. I watched the video but it's not related to any part of this discussion. Just because an analogy has been made does not make it a good one.
