Second Life in the News, Again!

If I were your pal you seem to blindly come to the aid of (are you the friend who bought the video card?), I'd be reporting this...and have you read anything you pal has written in this thread? Apparently not.

Maybe you should stick to you PG land. There is a reason why there are different ones, so we don't have to listen to people like you.

Back to the topic.. glad to see SL getting different types of press. Maybe then someone will make a competing platform that works more often then not

Sorry I am a native English person and I'm pretty ignorant of other languages, could you write that again please - but in English?

.. out of everything she said you focus on one frigging negative thing.. why don't you give her cred for the other shit than point out she overacted about the pics...

Problem with that assessment of the article is that the article wasn't all about sex nor are the sims and community it was describing "all about sex" let alone "about sex above all other considerations", which is precisely the issue the first posters had with Lewis's comment. Then it turned out he hadn't bothered to read the article before pronouncing it to be "all about sex".

He then went one step far and what I would consider into homophobic and certainly intolerant territory by suggesting that people with sexual gender preferences and lifestyles different than his own should be labeled thusly as well as any parcels in world that would be tolerant of them. That is where he went far afield and smacks of deep intolerance, (segregation, apartheid, yellow stars sewn on clothing, all sharing a base mentality of intolerance).

me thinks you are a bigot too

wow quick to bite back aren't you? How about this, if you read through her post, like I did, she said the problem with the link (which is the topic being argued right now) is the advertisements. She had made no reference to the actual article at all. So I what I was commenting on was not the "friggin negative thing". It was the one and only complaint she had about the link in question. please, don't try to start a fight.

But most publicity is either based around sex or making money. Why isn't everything else being promoted?

Lewis

Maybe follow that up with more thought then enlarging and bolding my own text? Maybe even address more than part of a sentance? Or even, I dunno, actually read some of his bloody posts.

I am against people who force their views onto others. I personally am an agnostic, but I don't try to convice christians that there might not be a god. I personally don't engage in sex in SL, go to clubs, ect ect but I don't berade the people who do. There is a large difference there.

Because sex and capitalism sell. Its an economy thing. Surely you wouldn't understand.

Finding that on the first page put me off reading the rest of the article.

It's not "homophobia", that implies a fear. I have no fear of homosexuality, just choose not to be involved in it.

Be very careful what you accuse people of.

Lewis

Who buys? Virgins and poor people?

Don't you love it how when you are making a point using a hypothetical situation or the same language some one else is using there is always one person who doesn't get it in a one plus one equals two kind of way?

I could accuse many people of 'discophobia' because they have never visited my seventies themed nightclub. Unfortunately, disco doesn't get special preferential treatment and protection.

Lewis

I doubt your PG discotec that no one goes to most likely due to your attitude then anything else will see press coverage anytime soon.

Happens more often then not around here. Sheesh.

irony is wasted on the stupid

I would suggest that, before passing judgment on something I have built to provide entertainment for other players, you actually take a moment to visit it first.

Lewis

Wow, now you're just playing stupid. I'm a dual citizen, US and UK (nice try, however, to dodge), so here, I'll even do it in British English for you:


If I were your friend, the one whom you keep coming to the defense of in these very forums when this friend inserts his foot in his mouth, then I would report your personal attack on me, because that's what your friend does. Have you read anything your friend has written in this thread? Apparently not.

Is that easier for you?

Why Lewis don't you do the same thing? Isn't that what you were suggesting in labelling land properties?

I have no clue what you're trying to say.

If something is labelled as a "combat zone", I won't go there because gunplay doesn't interest me. But that's talking about the principle, rather than saying "that place is badly designed", which would be a first hand experience.

The post to which I referred implied that my disco doesn't get visitors because I own it, rather than because of what it is.

Lewis

err Not really.

If you were Lewis - the one i keep defending when he makes mistakes - then you would report me for my personal attacks on you (still lewis), because thats what lewis does (reports me apparently). Have I read anything Lewis has written in this topic? Apparently not.

You've totally lost me now

Wow. You are amazingly clueless. I would respond with more details, but I doubt you would "get it".

Its called a joke dear - get a sense of humor
