Nuke them all? How about nuke the ones that are wrong. But, i won't go there. I just wanted to show some love to a wonderful place on SL. If you haven't seen SL Israel, you should.

;0 now, doesn't the beauty of sl mean that we can always -make more space-?? ;0

in an era that still can't get over the hangup of sharing its own space, isn't this the most beautiful thing you can imagine? ;0 (at least, for now? ;0)

How about no one nukes anyone else. Responding to hate with more hate does not solve conflict, it only escalates it.

However, SL has been the stage for protest on more than a few occasions. Whatever the stance any one person or group may have, that we are free to make our opinions known here is a GOOD thing. I hope protest in SL is something that is never quelled.

Could you please send a slurl for this sim? Is this the sim covered by the Star of David two sims down from the star of Texas?

My Israeli gf and I have been there, if that is the same place. She was so disappointed at how it was built, having hoped that it would somehow be familiar, instead she felt embarrassed for her country. She was looking for a place to rent, maybe even find a community, but it is not a place she would return to.

I am no decorating genius, but the place could use a helping hand from a designer with a sense of style and balance. So please tell me that was not the same sim you are describing.

Toss in all of our politicians and lawyers, add most of the political folks from around the world, pull out the innocent civilians, and you got a deal.

Leave it to the shallow end of the media intelligence pool to cover the shallow end of the protestor intelligence pool. Honestly, if you're going to protest, do so in a way where you actually have to face the public, can explain your point and make some real sacrifice for your cause. Sitting in your warm home, protected from outside opinion claiming to protest online is a great way to get people to automatically assume you're an idiot. That, and using telephone abbreviations when you have a perfectly good full keyboard.
