No. This thread is pathetic, the people posting here seem to want to either start a flame war, or keep it alive (not a flame, pointing out an observation), and this thread serves NO useful purpose to the community. HOWEVER, cowbell is fun for everyone!

Folks, Catherine is right .. SL is much about money. The CEO even publishes spreadsheets on the topic.

However, what she is wrong about is that this is a bad thing.

There are also a lot of polite and friendly ways of making this point. Simply attacking her as a person isn't going to make her go away and certainly isn't going to forward the issue one iota.

Perhaps. But you are certainly not helping matters.

How so? I am attempting to turn something that is usless into something that will atleast amuse people. Not something to bring them grief and anger.

Oh, and towards the virtual whore thing. Remember people, this week only, 2 dolla sucky sucky!

Folks, let's just go back and edit our insults and personal comments out of our postings and wish each other a festive and happy season.

And then resume the topic of the thread like reasonable, nice, mature adults.

I for one am certainly interested in the viewpoints of others, especially those who wish to lessen the influence of money and increase the influence of merit.

Personally, I wish merit=money. Wouldn't it be great if everyone got paid according to the real value that they provided?

I am pretty sure if that was the case this world would be a much better place.

That's the only way to make money IMO.

Fact seems to be though, that people like to trade things and one of those is money. It's there for a reason. It's just the people who hoarde it underhandedly that are a problem.

Either way though, why is talk about money so offensive as to start several benign threads about it?

Sorry Blaze but these ppl should live with what they said. A simple edit wont change how they realy feel, sadly.

"merit=money. Wouldn't it be great if everyone got paid according to the real value that they provided?"

That sounds reasonable.

See I can bend a little too :)
