Independent R18+ Rating?

It seems the fight for Austrailian gamers to play whatever they want
has gotten a little messy, as ACT Attorney-General, Simon Corbell has
announced that if the federal government doesn't reach an agreement,
then they will usher in the rating on their own.

The day prior, South Aus' Attorney-General, John Rau had announced
something similar, but with the added action of abolishing the current
MA15+ rating in that territory.

It seems to be getting heated towards the decision making in July as
the six probably feel more presure than ever before.

Words Still Hurt???

Apparently, this generation of video gaming adults never learned the old adage: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me", as the word "Fanboy" turns these people inside-out.

Never have I seen such arguments break out on the internet over one person calling another a "Fanboy", whether that person owns a PS3, 360, Wii, PC, any combination, or WHATEVER! I'm talking about people in their 20's, 30's, and EVEN THEIR FOURTIES!!!

I saddens me to see how the pen truly IS mightier than the sword, in such INAPPROPRIATE situations. It's JUST WORDS!!! (gaming related, that is) Just move on and continue with what you prefer, your stances should remain your own, no matter who thinks otherwise.
