The stupidest i can think of is when china banned football manager 05' for portraying Tibet as a country. China does a lot of stupid stuff but cmon'!
Lame, I mean the US could recognize Taiwan and Hong Kong as independent countries (which Taiwan is but I don't know about Hong Kong)but Tibet is ignored?
Tibet doesn't make cheap crap to keep the Walmarts filled.

Basically anything that schools have ever banned that wasn't drug or weapon-related.

A cup breasts in porn in Australia. i am serious look it up. they banned it for reasons it looks like Loli porn. I can not kid you here.
Yeah, well I guess that fits with the general trend. The UK laws on child porn ban anything that looks like it could depict someone under 18 >_<
We didn?t ban anything, it was just a rumor.

Yeah, I read that from your earlier post.

But to be fair, my main point still stands. (And it isn't just Australia doing it.)

This, as it's pretty serious. Australia is easily the most right wing, fascistic country in the west, but this is damn ridiculous.
We didn't ban anything, it was just a rumor. And you should look up the definition of fascism.

Bless, did you get asked to change your message? Guess what bud, I was born in Australia, and glad to be out, let me tell you that.

If you actually read what I wrote, you would see that it goes "easily the most" before it says fascistic. I didn't say you lived in a fascistic regime, I said that you were the most fascistic. Which you are.

Your website link incriminates itself. At the bottom it is agreed that a woman's appearance determines whether or not she is seen as suitable or appropriate. Which is where the small boobs thing comes from. If publications are being denied release because of the woman looking young because she has small boobs, that's discrimination and a banning on women with small boobs.

However, if that's not a specific ban enough, let's move onto Australia's refusal to allow "R" rated games.

Flat chests in Australia.
Violent video games in Australia.
Lolicon, shotacon, and all other types of porn that doesn't involve real people in any given part of the world, which means Australia again.
Half of the things banned in Australia.
wait you had kick ball banned?
at school they would encourage us to play it.maybe the teachers were hoping it would become natural selection. although where I live we called it soccer-baseball.

So, AUS has foot long spiders, dingos, stingrays, killer jellyfish, platypuses, giant deserts, kangaroos and plenty of other killer creatures as well as a shitty government. Why does anyone live there?

Agreed with this. Oh no, some people have an increased chance of imagining something illegal is going on, must put a stop to this at once!

That is so very close to thought policing. It's a whole 'if we can pretend it's illegal, it's made illegal' mentality, which is frightening and absurd, yet real.
Hopefully this is the last time I will have to say this WE. DIDN?T. BAN. SMALL. BREASTS.

Your article is wrong, Australia really DID ban small breasts.
... And most videogames... And plastic display weapons... Aaaaand wooden display weapons.
Besides that its openly gay-bashing, zealously religious to the point they imitate the states and not to forget the many many natural disasters...
The only upside would be Steve Irwin... But he's dead now.

books.

(I want to elaborate but feel that elaboration would only create loopholes.)

Simply put: books.

Light bulbs that aren't ecologically safe were banned from production and sales pretty recently. I still have few, I guess I'm a dirty criminal.

On my highschool, smoking wasn't allowed on school grounds. So everyone took 1 step outside of the fence and smoked. Pretty damn stupid if you ask me.
Ever heard of "Passive Smoking"? I think that's the real reason for this "stupid" ban, personally I gag whenever I inhale cigarette smoke, I doubt I'm the only one who finds it utterly disgusting.
Yet you find cats smoking cool?
ZING!
I can't stand cigarette either but I didn't have a problem with second hand smoke.
Zing? Oh dear lord no he called out my shooped avatar! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!

I don't find any form of smoking "cool", but I don't care if someone else wants to do it as long as they don't do it in my face (And a cat with a pipe and a hat is just classy).
In your face? You mean they run around you and blow smoke in your face? I don't see why it's such a big deal to get some smoke in your face, as long as it's not intentional.

Hugs.
My secondary school banned hugs. For the following reason.

"We have heard rumours that people have been hugging others without their permission. We ask you now to stop as you are being hugged against your will, which could lead to emotional trauma." ... -_-

Oh, and they banned couples kissing on school grounds. So what did all the couples do? Stepped outside school property.

1984 by George Orwell, banned in Russia, USA and Britain during the cold war.. kind of ironic if you ask me.. :p
Are you sure it was banned in Britain and the USA?
Only briefly when it first came out in 1949 although the ban was lifted quite quickly in Britain, soon after in America and then I'm not sure when the USSR approved it, probably after the fall of the USSR..

Yeah...not sure I'd use those words, but "girls cant play games, *bans" basically sums it up. :/

I'm not alone in that experience either. Which is sad but also is a bit of a relief that other women might know what it's like. :3
How many times has that happened?

OT: I remembered something, there was a school that banned the oxford dictionaries because they had curse words.
7 or so times for me. :/

Banning girls in video games 4-6 years ago. Cmon guys, we just want to play too. :3
Where were women banned from video games?? That one would have to come close to winning for most stupid.

If not for this one: A book. ANY book. Ever.

OoPs!! Ellen of Kitten beat me to that but thanks to having an internet with a speed best defined as "geriatric" I missed it since it didn't load the whole page. *sigh* You know it's time to upgrade when you get Ninja'd....TWO days ago!! So good one Ellen of Kitten! Geez talk about sentances you never thought you would find yourself using....
Hehe, it's not as bad as it sounds, and it was only in other video games. Not a law or anything. :p
Thank God. What games? Anyone who thinks women can't play games are forgetting or don't know that one of the ways that girls differ from guys is in spatial perception and that they can think of multiple subjects easier than men. (source: Dr. Lin, Psychology teacher)

Then again banning women from BEING in certain games wouldn't even cause Gloria Steinem to object. Duke Nuke'em Forever springs to mind....

Being openly homosexual.
Non-whites from University.
Women from voting.

I could go on.
All fixed thanks to 80's pop, Thurgood Marshall (Actually he just put an end to "Seperate but equal" which was basically the same thing. There was nothing equal about the cultural quality difference in education, in truth we still struggle with that today in my opinion, but it is much better thanks to him.) and the Sufferage Movement.
