Isn't that the point? I mean, if overzealous mothers that claim that "nobody thinks for the children" don't care enough about it to debate, why is this a controversy to begin with?

I think he's saying he intends to Finish The Fight.

Huh.
I'm not saying he isn't but it just made me think of cheesey action movies/games but the fact that he mentioned no will likly speak against R-18 game ratings seems like the perfect reason to stop what he's doing.

Damn that Michael Atkinson if I ever got a hold of him I'd -The following message has been deleted by the OFLC due to the offensive content found in the message- with a pigeon.

More on topic I hope you get that 18+ rating for games... just to wipe that smile of his face.

So, Mr. Atkinson, your saying that even though everyone else doesn't care except for gamers mature games should still be banned?

Well, I guess his head isn't as far up his own ass as I thought. I have underestimated you atkinson. Your still a douche bag though. btw I would never threaten his family; no man deserves that.

"Atkinson said that it's unlikely he'll give up his crusade against R18+ videogame ratings,"

This is fucken ridiculous... i think hes been spoon feed and tit-reared in a religous commune all his life.

Poor bastards... 2 of my best friends on XBL live in Melbourne. I've got to send all the R18 games to them from here in NZ so they can play them.... its still cheaper than buying from another state and sending it.

omw

Yeah, maybe to an inmate facing 50 to life in prison. Real charming :p

"I'll consider changing my mind about all this when the gaming community decide to behave in a civil fashion and apologize for the threats to me and my family," he continued."But I don't plan to back down from the fight. I started my mission and I plan to finish it." --Michael Atkinson

^Not really about the children anymore is it Atkinson? And to think the Austrians pay this man to do this shit.

Atkinson, please consider:
Nazi Germany
And there's Godwin's law. Who was it that called that?

You're absolutely right, BTW. Although I would have said Stalinist Russia

So does Bobby Kotick and Alfred E Neuman. In fact all three look alike.
Apathy is never something a person should be endorsing when they run a strong legislative position such as his. I am hoping the good people of Australia show that politician how wrong he is by showing up in high numbers. Opportunity is knocking Oz Gamers! Seize it!

1) So he still hasn't realised that by not having an 18, games that would get that are being passed as a 15 and are then easier for younger people to get hold of?

2) Who came up with the system where everyone had to agree, and one man could stop the overwhelming opinion (or have I got it wrong)?

3) The f*ck is up with his teeth?!

He has the teeth of the leader of UKiP. They nearly had a leader called Atkinson too. Rowan Atkinson's brother as a strange matter of fact.

I do not trust people with poor dental hygiene.

So people, by his own words, either "don't care enough" or are "overwhelmingly in favour of an 18+ rating". What the heck kinda politician doesn't do something that could only make them more popular without losing popularity elsewhere?

He must watch a lot of Fox News. [http://instantrimshot.com/]
i love you for that link.

OT: Seriously? Does he not understand that R18+ will solve his problem? The only reason he is saying this is because he knows he is gonna lose, and he wants his last laugh. Let the laugh be heard and quickly forgotten.
