Sorry, but that's not even remotely close to be labeled as a disclaimer.
That single line is just saying that all content belongs to their respective owners. Now, I'm no lawyer. No lawyer at all, but in terms of owner, the comments belong to the site, as the site both hosts and display the comments, unless otherwise is stated.
That's where the disclaimer comes in handy, you state that the data that you host and display is not content that you are responsible of, and to view the site / use it you agree to be bound by that fact.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Please do. But the Wikipedia article may help you a bit.
It really depends on which country you are in. Each will have their own definitions of property, belonging to another etc. I doubt you can write a legally binding universal disclaimer.
What matters is what country the service (aka the hoster, Dreamhost) is located. How the disclaimer is written is up to you, but visitors of that page (service) would have to abide by those "rules" / terms of use, to use the service. So, in one way it would be like a universal disclaimer, since it is the laws of the country the service exists that matters, not the country of the visitor.
Pretty much why the norwegian goverment can't do anything with those that play poker online. (It's illegal in Norway)
