>"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be "cured" against one's will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals." - CS Lewis
This quote right fucking there perfectly describes Australia. The worst part is that all these nanny and anti-freedom laws were passed by their conservative party.

American courts set the same common laws for hate speech. The only enshrined free speech laws in the US are for political expression.

No one of any value here cares. We like it that way. You're the same kind of guy who whines about Islam being forced on you, but you're happy to force your opinion about gun laws down our throat.

Yes. Who fucking cares if you're still getting the product you god damn child. In the long run we're projected to see cigarette sales plummet because of this.

You're right, the taxes are insane. I'll concede that it's even gone too far for cigarettes.
>many violent games and movies banned
Not since 2013 when our overhauled rating system was implemented. Non-issue.
>video games are expensive as shit
Because US companies were price gouging us. You were the problem. Nowadays they're more reasonably priced because of the AUD strength against the USD - but 2-5 years ago it was fucked because of YOUR companies.
>no self defense allowed
Self defence is permitted with reasonable force as to stop any further attacks upon yourself. Pre-emption is not allowed, but may be seen as a mitigating factor in court (to the point of having no conviction, which has happened a lot).

Guys, there have been a lot of embarrassing things posted about Australia ITT so far. But this is by far the worst
>Bart vs. Australia
>The episode received mixed reception in Australia, with some Australian fans saying the episode was a mockery of their country. Shortly after it had aired, the Simpsons staff received over 100 letters from Australians who were insulted by the episode.[6] They also received letters from people complaining about the Australian accents used in the episode that "sounded more like South African accents".[5] The Simpsons writer and producer Mike Reiss claimed that this episode is Australia's least favorite, and that "whenever we have the Simpsons visit another country, that country gets furious, including Australia". He claimed that they were "condemned in the Australian Parliament after the episode had aired".[20]
>The Newcastle Herald's James Joyce said he was shocked when he first saw the episode: "Who are the Americans trying to kid here? I agree Australia has its faults, as does any other country. But laughing in our face about it, then mocking our heritage was definitely not called for. It embarrassed and degraded our country as well as making us look like total idiots".[13]

No because hate speech is protected here. Things like the wbc would be banned in your country. Andrew Bolt would have never went to court and been convicted in the US because we have the first amendment.
>After people began shining them at planes and partially blinded a pilot. Anything under 1 mW is fine.
Out of the most retarded bans this is the most retarded. You cannot take down a plane by flashing a laser pointer you idiot. It isn't possible. Somebody should let ISIS and al qaeda know, eh? It was a dumb fucking kneejerk ban over some stupid bullshit some edgy teen did.

Dude you fail to realize how your universal "free" healthcare is just depriving you of your individual freedoms.
Don't give me the shit about smokers being a burden. For one smokers already paid their share through taxes, and they died early and saved money because pensions didn't have to be paid or them being stuck in a nursing home.

>>60475026
>the Simpsons staff received over 100 letters
Tbqh, that's not really that bad considering how famous the Simpsons was at the time, but personally I loved that episode.
>>60474907
No more than one. Again see my links.
The point is not whether or not gun control reduced mass shootings, it probably did. It's to refute to the bullshit common lie of claiming there hasn't been a single mass shooting since the ban.
>>60475026
Butthurt has reached the Andromeda.
>>60474972
But the fbi defines it 3 or more shot dead now not including the perp. So now you've had multiple since the ban.
>>60475026
Strange, always thought everyone here loved that episode
>>60475026
>the Simpsons staff received over 100 letters from Australians who were insulted by the episode
Given that thousands of Australians would have watched the episode, that's not that bad.
>>60475123
Haha, just from the product safety links I know that you're the exact bloke that I've blown out of the water 200+ times on this topic.
>>60475152
Mass shooting refers to an incident involving multiple victims of gun violence.[1] The United States' Congressional Research Service acknowledges that there is not a broadly accepted definition,[2] and uses a definition of a "public mass shooting"[3] if 4 or more people are actually killed, not including the perpetrator, echoing the FBI definition[4][5] of the term "mass murder".
None of those incidents had more than four deaths except the second but it wasn't done publicly. None of them are mass shootings by definition.

>Dude you fail to realize how your universal "free" healthcare is just depriving you of your individual freedoms.
I'm not even going to argue with that. No one in Australia is going to choose cigarettes over medicare. If the price of my health is not smoking then I'll give up that "freedom" (because being addicted to something sure is liberating).

And we have less people on bikes and far more in cars. Those countries have infrastructure for cyclists, we don't. Until we have said infrastructure, then what's wrong with harm minimisation.

Your MUH UNIVERSAAL HEALTHCARE MUDDAFUGGA has reatly eroded many individual freedoms. And notnjust cigarettes. It's made you into a vastly overregulated nanny state where the government seeks to interfere and ban as much shit dangerous to the person as it can. It's a never ending slippery slope.
There are plenty of countries with universal healthcare that are far from being a nanny state. It's just that your government considers you mongoloid children. Pretty sad m8

>>60475656

>The Federal Bureau of Investigationuses the term "mass killings", originally defined as the murder of four or more people with no cooling off period[4][8]but redefined by Congress in 2013 as including murder of three or more people.[9]
>>60475656
>>60475677
It's 3 or more dead now.
So now under the new definition you've had multiple mass shootings since the ban.

>Since the new gun laws were introduced in 1996 Australia has only had one mass shooting, which was in 2014 when a farmer shot dead 4 family members then later killing himself.[46][47]
