And that sentence has what to do with his refusing to grant 18+ age rating to the Australian people?SuperFriendBFG said:
The reference to earning "Gamer points" by doing these things just prove he's suffering underPac-Man Fever [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PacManFever] and general misapprehension of how the WORLD works. I mean seriously, "The refugees support me and there are a cabal of evil 'gamers' who hate life and decency. Also, games cause all evil everywhere."?
Holy shit is he serious? How thick can you be? Raping a mother and her two daughters?! Injecting Drugs to win a athletics event? Cutting people in half with large calibre shells?Malygris said:
First off, there has been no game with that rating that you rape a mother and her two daughters.
Steriods hero?
They have chainsaws for that you know...
i find myself wondering if each one of those is actually a swear word, or if they just duplicated it(and by swear word i mean between Each one you would actually find a sentience)SuperFriendBFG said:
Read somewhere on here that his son a professional gamer and I'm sure he has shown his dad classic examples of games what banned but are no where near as bad as he depicts and how misinformed 3/4 of that statement is so if he can't do it no one can. But then again his son probably the reason he opposes games so much as he games to spite for not respecting him (as who would with) so his dad blames games for his parental problems.
Saying that might be a good way to stir him by asking dose his son export 18 rated games and if so how come he not a serial rapist and murder? And if goes on that was due to his parental responsibility then say well don't the rating system help guide parents on the matter and ask why and follow that line of enquiry. Failing that get the most foulest and vile 18 rated films available to buy and ask him hows stuff this graphic and horrific is available what more often than not don't show consistences for their actions more realistic than any game could ever be as actually humans not pixels depicting the deed and say is he seriously suggesting GTA is more damaging to youth than this?

True. But you'd think he'd at least learn about what he's banning or stay quiet, rather than parading his ignorance about.xmetatr0nx said:
Man, this guy is a grade A moron, I hope he never becomes the leader of australia, because I would expect some type of ban on video games if that happens(or an attempt to ban video games).
He says "Their vote is hardly likely to hinge on the "right" to score gamer points... etc" but exactly what justification does he have for taking that right away? An 18+ rated game would (or at least should) only be available to legal adults, who ought to be quite capable of making their own decisions about what they want to do with their spare time.
