what about other countrys laws where the legal age is younger then 18 or have no such law as this- can they post and we can't?<< That's an interesting thought you bring up. It sounds much like a law they are trying to pass in Europe, designating certain thoughts/utterances as hate speech, which would also apply to web sites. From what I understand, if an American had a web site regarding something that the Europeans didn't like and regarded as "hate speech", they could take down his web site AND haul him to Europe for a trial - it wouldn't matter that he was an American from a sovereign nation. This kind of stuff is really scary.
