Could someone please paraphrase if anyones around, its 2:ish am here.

the gist seems to be that some aussies dont want other assies to be able to see a cirtain film, because of the films nature. i really dont understand why this film would be band, if it is for adults and by adults to raise awareness of a problem. oh wait, i can. POLITICS. someone wants this movie to be band becase then they can get more 'hamful'* material band. well if there is one thing i wont stand for its oppressing /silencing people. why does someone think that by watching a movie we are going to get ideas for real life? if a murderer has watched something violant in his life, why is that the cause? if it was surely murder would be the norm and not murder the minority. same with this film. i really dislike the idea that i am ruled by the things i see, not the actions i choose to make. if this is harmful material, let the people make the choise themselves to see/notsee it. i cant tell you weather weather we are ruled by vision or not, but i would at least let YOU make your choise.

im probably making little sence as its still 2:ish

*'harmful' meaning they consider it harmful.
