Hello all,

I am just wondering if it is illegal to access and download gay porn in Australia. I live in Perth. any thoughts?

Thanks

I hope not but I know the the Aussies have some pretty loony internet and gaming censorship rules inspired by China. Having said that I have seen some decent Aussie porn

I dunno and I'm too lazy to check, but it wouldn't surprise me, I hear Australia is against like ALL PORN.

Australia is the sterotypical nanny state - against anything that's fun, banning smoking at the beach, banning unpasteurised cheeses etc

Horrible insects and an over zealous authority doesn't make me want to visit

Nothing against the people who live there though, met and know many Ozzies , lovely guys

Answer: Of course not.

Hi Xman101

How dare you call us Australians stereotypical nanny state, We are not like that, it's our stupid current government Labor runned by Julia Gillard that's bring all these stupid laws we don't want :hug: & I'm glad to hear that you don't have nothing against us Aussies and thanks for saying that we are lovely guys, that's so nice and kind of you.

Hi Xman101

How dare you call us Australians stereotypical nanny state, We are not

I do agree with you Cute Prince, there is not such a thing as a stereotypical Australian, American or German. Take me, I am a Dutchman. The stereotypical Dutchman wears wooden shoes, a blue overall, likes windmills, likes tulips, drinks beer, smokes, drinks and fucks all around the clock.
Well, I do wear wooden shoes, often a blue overall, like windmills, like tulips, drink beer, smoke and .... Oh My God, I am a stereotypical Dutchman!

I've never been to Australia, but I would love to visit one day, and I can say that none of the above comments has any effect whatsoever on my desire to see the place and meet the people.

And in my limited experience I can also say that OZZIES ROCK! At least the ones I've met on sites like this & those I'm familiar with in the entertainment industry.

And, j515253, there are loads of Aussies here on GH, and I've never been aware of any issues any of them have had with the gay porn here.

I'm from the USA, BTW.

I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek I was also referring to the policies of government, same as we get silly laws this side of the globe.

Wasn't meaning anything in a nasty way

Go "Cute Prince" ! I agree with you .......
Xman infuriated me too !
- AUSTRALIA !

 

[XMan101]

I'm not wrong though, I know from friends who visited, like no smoking within 200 yards of a building etc.

Are you allowed to smoke on the beach in Australia ?

We are where I live

I don't smoke anymore but still repect the freedom to do so

Go "Cute Prince" ! I agree with you .......

- AUSTRALIA !

:devil:

No offence was meant I assure you It was just observation.

It doesn´t happen very often, but sometimes even GH disappoints me

The ONLY reason some people thought they should be offended by Xman´s witty post was their own sloppy reading :no:~Xno:

Xman wrote : "AUSTALIA is the stereotypical nanny state" - and immediately some people start whining "How dare you say we AUSTRALIANS are stereotypical".

Well, he didn´t say that. So read what he wrote and not your own fantasy. And if you really don´t know the difference between people (australians) and a state (Australia), then take a course in political science or the history of political ideas. (Or read Benedict Anderson´s modern classic Imagined Communities.)

sounds swedish...

sounds swedish...

I´m in a bitchy mood today...
... so nooooooooo, since Benedict Andersons full name is Benedict O´Gorman Anderson, and "Anderson" is spelled with one s, not to as in swedish "Andersson" - it doesn´t sound particularly swedish at all. If I remember correctly, Benedict is the brother of marxist historian Perry Anderson.

But I still love you ihno p... though your so jirman:rofl:...

 

[ihno]

jirmen... :-*

ok, if it doesn't sound Swedish, it sounds Skandinavian. :thumbs up:

 

[Whisper]

Hmm, I don't know about the other Scandinavians, but we Finns just shake hands and try keep other person from coming too close :rofl:
... just a little side-tracked comment...

Scandinavian ? O´Gorman ? Ok, ok, I´ll swallow anything - as long as you don´t declare your love in schwäbisch... :rofl:
