DC, for your information i did read the article. do you seriously think i go shooting off my mouth about something without reading the source material beforehand? what sort of moron do you think i am?

Master of reality, you seem to think i can say what i like about this, do you? even though the site is in the US. well according to the article:

so. heads still in the sand? keep looking at your feet guys, while the rest of the world laps you.

people in glass houses should not throw stones.

re: australian citizenship, i will have to marry my australian fiance (luckily that is the plan!) in order to get it. australia seems to be quite tight about that sort of thing these days. Also, doesn't the USA get shitty if you adopt another nationality? i was under the impression that you could not hold a dual nationality where one of your nationalities was US citizen, is this correct?

Happens quite a lot actually.

And my apologies - that what I was talking about wasn't actually on that page. http://www.thefreeworld.net/faq.php , one of the links mentioned, told that story.
A Russian guy posting stuff on Russian servers that was not illegal was ARRESTED. Germans posting legal stuff on German servers are being persecuted.
Sure, you can avoid it - just don't ever travel to the US again in your life. That is unless they manage to get you extradited, in which case you're toast.

Lazygamer and Muffin: they may not go after everyone, but they *can* go after you if they want to, pretty much at their desires.
