If you're talking with someone from say, Russia, do you still have freedom of speech if you're on like a Russian site? Or do you have to follow thier laws about talking to people? Like you can't say certain things.

hmmmm well when i go on forums in other countries i neva really think about that.
Although once my mum posted on an american forum and the mod took it off cos of some weird reason and she sed bout freedom of speech and they said it didnt apply to her cos she's not american ^^ so to a certain extent i guess you gotta follow their rules but remember which country you are from ^.^
I guess the mod on that forum hated english ppl lol ^.^
Most forums will have a special page or so for rules i just try to abide by those ^.^

As far as I know, a website has to follow the laws of the country where it's servers, the material part of the website, are located.
Though that's just a guess. ='D

Bubbles is right, but when you break a law in another country other than your own if you ever set foot on that continent, they can arrest you. But yeah, they don't have any particular rights. Which is why the owner's of the site BME, had to move because America got pissy.(BME is actually banned in America.)

I'm sure there is some kind of weird law that applies to such situations. There always is.

I think it was a news channel forum she posted in(maybe cnn?), cos my mum watches alot of foreign news which i guess has something to do with her job and she disagreed with something they said on it, i guess they didnt like what she said lol, i think everyone was really shocked that they couldnt stand another person veiw being voiced lol ^.^

BME? Hmmm... never heard of it.
It's really kind of weird how some people get really freaked out about the human body. I mean, if you don't want to show your goods, fine. They're your goods. But if someone else wants to go nekkid, deal with it. We all look pretty much the same under our clothes anyway.

Meh, man boobs aren't that bad. Not all that attractive, but not that bad. But then again, I come from farmer/lumberjack/gerneral northern land.
There done did be some fat people up here.
