This actually isn't a bad idea. But you know there will always be those noobs who will still use .com etc.

I say they should use the .xxx adress so you can tell what your going to. In second grade at school I typed in constitution.com or something like that and it went to a porn site.

And by the end of august '07 all websites will be required to have ratings, similar to that of movies and games. You will have to type .pg13, or .r before the .com or .net, and if you are underage for that rating your computer will extend a hidden (and up until that point, unknown) cattle prode and own your face.

They can't really regulate if you use .com or .net. You bought the domain, so you can do what you want. Especially since they are not technically breaking laws.
