Vive La France!!
I'm a little concerned about the Spanish gagging laws though. If I said that the Guardia Cilvil chappie I served today was rather dishy, could that be construed as a lack of respect?
And presumably even on a forum like this one, calling politicians "bastards" for proposing outrageous laws that we disagreed with, like criminalising abortion, could also be penalised, right? (That isn't my word, of course, I'm sure all politicians are loved dearly by both their parents, who I'm sure married each other before said politician was born...)
Do we know whether the law only applies to comments posted after the date the law came into farce or do we need to edit some posts? You know, make sure everything is politician-friendly and suck butt a little bit....
And are citizens to be held responsible for perfectly innocent typographical errors?
