Shops that ARE expensive as hell!

Not at all: the failure to appreciate that the parameters of what may or may not be possible for other individuals, what may or may not be fantastic for them, indicates a certain lack of imagination - and empathy, come to think of it.

It is not 'sad' if another person's fantasy is something you might take for granted in RL. However it is at best patronising and arrogant at worst if you choose to see it that way.

@Pep: my comments stand.

@Ephraim: so do mine

Pep (especially you not understanding the meaning of sad)

PS They shouldn't be establishing an Adult continent; they should build one for social workers so you can all cry on each others' shoulders.

No one needs to cry on anybody's shoulders here. Nether does anyone need snide comment about the things that enthuse them.

You really ought to revise your 'default' attitude: sometimes we need more than the plain vanilla settings to get the best out of an application - and the very same can be said for our humanity.

As I say, sad. You do understand the meaning of the word, don't you?

Pep (Backing off on the accusations about my imagination and ability to realise it, then?)

Are you going to post that you are a milkmaid, that your ambition is world peace, and that winning the title won't change you at all?

I can understand people coming to SL to indulge in fantasies that they could *not* realise in rl (flying, tp, building the Tour Eiffel if that is what turns you on) but what Mickey describes and Lindal endorses is something that any attractive woman could enjoy considerably more in rl. I'll repeat that it is sad that they have to come to SL for it.

FYI - at the time I was working 90 hours a week...not housebound, not disabled...and not strapped for cash...but surrounded in a legitimate profession by arrogant asses such as yourself all day long......way past their mid-life crisis days....bellies sagging....comb overs thinning....

......overcompensating for their diminishing virility and dwindling competency.... dealing with their inferiority by stooping cowardly to a condescending, degrading and patronizing attitude toward women who would not have given them the time of day or a second glance.....today....or even 30 years ago when you were in your prime......in fact, Never.

Oh excuse me....I said "when YOU were in your prime".....I meant to say when "they" were in their prime....it's just that I was so "immersed" in the description.

Using the word sad in a typically critical and judgemental manner, then falling back to the real meaning of the word as if it was what you meant all along is called baiting and trolling.

The fact that someone could enjoy it more in RL is a real limp noodle stance considering that encompasses nearly everything enjoyable in SL.

Assuming one enjoys these things in SL because of missed RL opportunities is arrogant and flawed from the start. Suggesting they HAVE to come to SL to experience those things is diminuitive at best.

Only in the paranoid minds of the bigoted did I use it in "a typically critical and judgemental (sic) manner".

Now isn't that even sadder, don't you think?

And realistic . . .

Pep ( . . . as is obvious)

Paranoid and bigoted for picking up on the obvious digs you throw in? lmao..

Not sad at all.. it's called entertainment, which doesn't have to be the maximum all the time.

What's realistic and obvious is the cowardly way you choose to voice your intolerance, and that it's not sarcasm.. though you DO get a gold star for trying
