I didn't even know it was based in France until now. Interesting.
As much as it can be easy to bad mouth 'Merica, one area where the United States is more progressive tan most other places is freedom of speech. In fact, I did a report on the subject a couple of years ago and found an interesting article where France and the US got into a bit of an argument over that. France doesn't allow sales of Nazi memorabilia, but the US does. The case I found, Yahoo was ordered to block French users from being able to access a site that was selling Nazi and other race-hate items. It makes me wonder, if this board got into one of our more contreversal discussions, what criteria would it take for the government to come in and do something about it?
Here's the story, in case anyone wants a little reading on it.
