So save it for real life, because avatars aren't sexual, they're just pixels with no capability for feelings. Why does 'adult' always have to equate 'sex'? Lewis Lewis, some people are capable of identifying with their avatar. I, for one, cringed all the time when I used to hang out in Rausch and got splattered. _____________________

Why do you feel the need to try and force your morals on everyone else. Try staying in the PG sims, Lewis. Why does 'adult' always have to equate 'sex'? How else would you define a category that isn't suitable for minors? _____________________

Lewis *sighs* once again you are suggesting that everyone should feel exactly as you do. there is no point to conversing with you... this is why i usually avoid serious forum posting. |

If I'm talking on the telephone, is the conversation less real than in person? That's how I view SL, as another communication device. _____________________

Why do I always feel that trying to have a conversation about differences with certain posters is akin to beating your head on a brick wall?

However, there are some limits to being opening minded... I would never condone cybering with children for example... some things are just too bloody low life and destructive to close my eyes to. Only tolerating things that don't cross a certain imaginary line of offensiveness is not being open-minded. Sorry. Being open-minded means tolerating even those things you find offensive. You would think, if you find them offensive, you would want to close your eyes to them. After all, then you wouldn't be able to see them. Why is it that people seem to seek out those things they find offensive, to prove they actually exist so they can complain? It's beyond me. _____________________

Wait, I am completely confused here, please let me reiterate what you said back to you and you can correct me if I am wrong You feel that when someone is forcing themself on someone incapable of making an informed decision should be tolerated and we should have an open mind on this? You are mistaking what the message is here.. People are saying BETWEEN TWO CONSENTING ADULTS YOU DOLT! Please, please, please, please correct me here Toni.. |

But you are telling me to lower my standards to yours by tolerating them. Lewis Who are you to sit there and judge whose standards or morals are lower than another persons? Who appointed you judge of such things? _____________________

How did forcing anyone to do anything enter into this discussion? I am saying that being intolerant is intolerant. Just because you have a wider boundary of what you're intolerant of, doesn't make you not intolerant. Who are you to sit there and judge whose standards or morals are lower than another persons? Who appointed you judge of such things? He did, Savonah. Generally anyone who mentions morals this much thinks theirs are the best.  _____________________

He's quite passionate, but about different kinds of things. His work says a lot about his feelings for and observations of the real world, and he's very much trying to communicate that to others. His statement, something like "there is pleasure in the mundane", reflects the dialogue he is trying to engage. All his creations are about experiences, the kind of everyday things people tend to overlook. I find him really quite fascinating. Funnily enough, our vastly different opinions don't seem to matter in-world. If he says something I disagree with, I just say, "well you know I think something else", and we both accept that we hold different opinions. _____________________

Ok, so you find it acceptable for an adult to coerce a child into sexual actions even if it is via a computer? Let me explain something to you I admit I AM ONLY TOLERANT FOR THOSE CAPABLE OF MAKING THE DECISION. Your right I will NOT tolerate someone taking advantage of a person unable to make an informed decision, you are a preadator, and are unable to be rehablitate.. I am all for them putting you in the ground so you can push up daisies.. now what do you think about those apples? you do realize that you probably just put yourself on a watch list on sl at the very least.. heheh silly silly ppl.. tsk tsk tsk |

Lewis - you make my head hurt - because I don't know if you're posting /straight/ in response to what is obviously a /parody/ thread, or if you think Kendra's /sincere/ in the wish to "ban all prudes" and can't recognise /reductio ad absurdum/. You make my head hurt because you're taking the funny out of my "If we ban all prudes, who then will trail by example?" quip by /unambiguously fulfilling the stereotype./ ZOMG.
"Wrong"? ////Wrong////? I don't like being around prudish people because they have a tendency to try and leverage their notions of right and wrong on me! You get to tell me that what I do in SL is "wrong" when you A: Work for Linden Labs B: are an officer of the law or C: are my partner. Humans are sexual creatures. SL is for humans. Sexual behaviour belongs in SL - excluding it excludes humans. In PG sims? no. Wantonly in Mature Sims? Sure, but exercising taste and judgement is a good thing so as to minimise accidentally offending people. You have a right to create a refuge from things you find distasteful. You have a right to invite others to your refuge. You do /not/ have a right to demand that others stop doing whatever it is that you find distasteful in their /own/ refuges. |
