Re: You're damned either way

The US has been convicting people for things done outside their jurisdiction for ages. Having sex with a child in Thailand will get you locked up for years in America. Britain too has jailed people for their actions in the East. I can't remember the specifics, but I believe over a century ago people in England were going to jail for foreign actions which were disgusting their countrymen at home. Maybe somebody here can help fill in the details.
