I doubt that you'll find many, if any, nation that is willing to let "anything go" as long as it's on the internet.
Agreed, but I don't think that playing a game of cards is something that warrants government intervention. No government has any business restricting its citizens in this manner.
The U.S. government recently passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. In fact they snuck it in at the last minute of the legislative session by attaching it to a port security bill. The UIGEA is meant to impair U.S. citizens' ability to gamble online. This is effectively limiting the freedom of U.S. citizens to do what they want with their own hard earned money, and is ultimately restricting free trade on the internet. For that I think the U.S. should be on this list.
"AI will be developed when we unravel the secrets to intelligence or when we produce enormously fast computer simulated evolution, but it will not come about as a side effect of people surfing porn."
I dunno. Have you been watching Battlestar? The Cylons seem like their AI could be the result of people surfing porn.

Don't tell me they're casting Steve Guttenberg as Kirk.
