From: Dianne Mechanique Cindy, I am not in favour of racism apartheid or anythign of the sort and I don't think it should be trivialised, but I still think that this is a valid analogy.
Just a reminder of another of Dianne's valid analogies: From: Dianne Mechanique
Building and selling orbiters quite obviously hurts people.
It makes orbiters available and enables people who other wise wouldn't be able to to do it.
If you are making ammunitions and poisons for Nazis surely you are complicit in Nazi crimes. This is just the same weak moral evasion that weapons makers everywhere engage in.

From: Reina Quine ...SL is not a right, it is a privilege.
...Why demand equal treatment on unequal terms? And yet we'll compare this to racial segregation? There is absolutely no comparison, and anyone who thinks otherwise needs to pull themselves away from SL and back into the RL promptly... Can I get an Amen? well said, Reina. |

From: Cristiano Midnight Just a reminder of another of Dianne's valid analogies: Right. I keep forgetting that in "Amuhrika" the PC thugs jump all over you if you ever use an analogy that includes Nazis. Watch out! I might criticise Israel next, and that will get me hung in the town square.  (another over the top analogy for your thick file on me) I have done more to fight racism and bigotry in my life than you will ever know Cristiano, in fact I am quite the crusader for racial and sexual equality but of course I can't prove that to you, can I? All you little fucking capitalist whiners with your "situational" morals make me sick. Picking on people for daring to mention things that make you "uncomfortable," while simultaneously screwing everyone on the side and defending everyone else's right to screw anyone they can.  I probably have more moral fibre in my little finger than you've ever seen in your whole life.  *pokes finger in your chest* Half the people in this thread should also go get a god-damn dictionary and look up the whole idea of "ANALOGY" and what it is, and why this is an argument about SL as analogous to a RL situation. But don't reply to me. I'm outta here. |
