@ParaParaKing: That's a load of crap, did you even play LFD2 AU? Its absolutely atrocious - buggy, gitchy, and removed almost all of the violence. It was panned by almost everyone who bothered to review it.

@ParaParaKing: Why should the government choose what we can and can't see? Protecting children is one thing, but saying a R18+ rating will damage society when movies have one is moronic.And there's the fact that Atkinson is the only guy blocking this.

I don’t understand why people freak out about Australia having no R18+ rating. Yes, of course it sucks to have censored versions, but games like Left 4 Dead don’t really lose that much by being censored. In the US games with an AO rating don’t get released either. Just because the violence standart in the US is so much higher, doesn’t mean that every country should do that.

How can he possibly project the idea of zealotry onto the opposing argument whilst being the only person blocking the proposal based on his personal stance?

Someone send this man a dictionary. And some tolerance.
