What they're asking for isn't okay and it never will be. They're not special and neither is any other religion in the eyes of the law.Agyar said:
The article is being inflammatory basically exclaiming "They're already doing it!" In fact, they are not, it's just what many religions in Australia do/can do.

There was also a proposal under discussion to introduce a sensible and consistent ratings system for all media, including video games as well as political parties for whom the issue of greatest import is hunting and fishing rights in national parks. People ask for dumb and unrealistic things all the time.Agyar said:
As far as I'm aware, any recognition of Sharia Law would be unconstitutional and struck down in the High Court. Also, I pity any politician who would allow such a thing to get through unnoticed.

If mosques wanted to get together and charter religious schools, complete with qualified teachers, state government compliant curricula and that followed all the same rules and regulations Catholic and Anglican schools already do in this country, I would not be against them getting the same kind of Federal funding (it's Federal, right?) as those schools already do. It's only right.

That'd be a HUGE reform that'll probably never happen and put strain on the public system to boot. Schools run by religious institutions are subsidised by the government, but the rest of the cost burden goes to parents and the institutions themselves. If those schools shut down, you have an exodus into the state system and the taxpayer foots the full bill for their education.Dead Man said:
And that would be fine by me. I do think there would not be an exodus though, private schools were very popular before they started getting federal funding, and would remain so. If there was federal funding directed to state schools that would be a better use of the funds in my opinion. Hell, I would quite happily pay some extra tax to ensure high quality public education.viciouskillersquirrel said:

I got too edgy and just had to grab a 360 controller. On sale for $39 at Game, so not too bad.

Has LA Noire broken anywhere? Might head past JB on the way home...
Nice, where'd you get this? Just starting to get into Radiohead and really enjoying TKOL.commanderdeek said:Awwww yeah
Witcher 2 will be downloaded when I get home, can't wait. Along with LA Noire and Terraria, not going to have much time for anything else, and it's going to suck trying to choose what to play!
EDIT:
Also, I have a bunch of games on Steam to give away, I checked my list of spare copies and had more than I realised. I'm at work and can't remember what they are, but I remember Deus Ex GOTY was there, and I have 2x Terraria.

Game Traders in Chadstone sold a copy. I called them up and asked them. They denied it. Then when I said I had an image of the receipt in front of me they caved and admitted they sold one by mistake.
Poor bastard must have thought I was someone from Rockstar ready to bring fire and brimstone down on their asses.

is anyone selling LA Noire yet?
Several things:
- Being chums with IT staff gets you free stuff to help fix your home PC.
- Running into your old boss whom you sent a sternly written letter of resignation and then running into him at your new job where he's trying to secure a contract and it's the one day you're wearing fancy clothes (even though you say you're proudly working class) and he looks like a homeless dude can be awkward.
- Just placed a pre-order at JB for LA Noire on PS3.
- There isn't any time in the next month to actually play LA Noire on PS3.

Been pondering all day how to celebrate membership and my 300th post but now its 30 minutes before home time and i have no idea.
So rather than post something interesting pose this to you AusGAF. Enjoy
*The first person that answers this correctly shall be gifted a game of their choice on steam for a value $50 or less*
What English word retains the same pronunciation, even after you take away four of its five letters?
GO!

When I used to work at EB Games it was usually other retailers that would break street date. We had to get proof via receipt and fax that into head office before we got the go ahead to sell the game.
One time this occurred with the nearest GAME store. The manager went in, bought the game and then sent in the receipt. About an hour later we had the go ahead to begin selling. About another half hour after that we got a call from another EB Games store wondering why the hell we're selling the game early. The nation wide email was sent shortly after that.
