Wow, I thought our government was out of it's mind. This is crazy. I can't believe they are trying to pass this off as helping the children. I had no idea that the Australian government was so hardcore in controlling their citizens. So much for that laid back Outback attitude. What is an entire country going to do without access to porn?

Obamacare would be another. I'm sure if it passes in some form they'll come up with some very caring type of name (like NICE in England) that will end up being the opposite in reality.

So I'm not allowed to respond to a poster who makes a comment not directly related to the original topic?

No, you're allowed to, and i'm allowed to make a comment that this has nothing to do with Obamacare, which doesn't even exist.
