Longtime, while it’s true that there is no effective way to fully enforce censorhip, the point remains. Should we even try to censor sexuality on film/television, and what criteria should we (or the Board of Classification) follow to ensure that our filmmakers can legally express those sexual expressions?

None of this really matters. As a permanent inhabitant of the intertubes, I know there is no effective way to enforce censorship. In my life I have never seen anything that was censored that I couldn’t get anyway.

Even the Chinese realise this. You can only hide information away from those who dont look. If you look, you will find. The real problem is that, on average, we are far too stupid to even know what is good for us. It is only the luddites – like my daft baby boomer parents – whom this affects.

We of Generation X have effectively implemented a technological meritocracy. If knowledge is power, then technological merit is power. There is nothing anyone can do to change this. It is even beyond the reaches of your “democracy”. Censor or outlaw whatever technologies or information you want – it makes no difference to us.

It’s best to get this type of discussion out of the way before Rudd and Conroy bing in Australia’s own version of the Bamboo Firewall – ie mandatory filtering of RC and ‘offensive’ material.

Such matters will remain “under the carpet” and many people will remain ignorant if in due context you censor such an issue. There is a world of difference between feminine ejaculation and
urination !!! Even this discussion, for those females who do not know that they are able to and are entitled to ejaculate is some step. But please do not broadbrush issues.
