Hey, first post, first of many I hope.
I am 17, Australian, and truly believe in giving freedom to the people.
I saw BS on channel 9 all that way back.
The episode (cant remember which) made fun of something sensitive and was taken off the air a week or so later.
Note on Australia.
WE currently have NO bill of rights.
Freedom of speech is not even protected under our constitution.
Its a pity that it wasn't picked up by the ABC or SBS as they generally don't give a stuff about upsetting people. In fact I think the ABC goes out of its way to upset with programs like Chaser. They are constantly pissing off Malayasia & Indonesia with their 4 Corners reports.
Even though we don't have a bill of rights I believe that we have a greater freedom than people in the US. In a weird way we just know we have freedom, we don't need some document to tell us we do.
Totally off topic but anyone catch the Dawkins 'Root of all evil' over the past 2 weeks on the ABC?
