well, I was once shot three times in row by a human before push-scripts were limited. thanks to that incident, I armed myself. so.. if any human starts aiming me outside areas where weapons are allowed, I'll aim back.. with a bazooka if necessary. :P AKA balance of terror. maybe there should be military contest between furries and humans in the combat zone. that should help to keep the trigger-happy gunslingers busy and outside peaceful sims. just my 2 cents.

Pol your name makes me think of a fishbowl for some reason. But no doubt would there be the most magnificent fish of every kind within that fishbowl..

Thank you for your input though :-) Open forum, that's what it's all about.

Now..hehe, this is where paradox comes into play...

You think that calling people a deragatory name that judges is OK when they are hating others..and pre-judging others?


oh i dont hate these twats for being twats, i hate them fore hateing people for no good reason, sure its a paradox but if we replaced "hate" with some longer, more syllable filled word, it'd still be hate. in any case, a derogatory term is only a word, i'd hate to think we as a people could not shake off such a simple insult, if they wanna insult me for being not only a furry but a transsexual and a lesbian. go ahead.

still hate people that hate people for no reason, its not like furries activly go out and ruin people's lives of another lifestyle more than "normal" humans do to others.
fuck, were all just monkeys that think we are important anyways >.>

From: Jethro Huffhines
Um well, I'd say humans hating furries is a bit more forgivable. As for as a lifestyle of being a furry, it's one of the worst and hilarious I've seen.


well, isnt this hypocritical, are "normal" humans anymore important or better than another lifestyle? thats exactly like saying "well christains hateing jews is a bit more forgivable. As for a lifestyle of being jewish, its one of the worst and hilarious i've seen"

man, do you even know what the furry lifestyle is about?
we totally need that reggea song "i'm furry" as a national anthem for when we build our colony and get away from all the twats out there...

EXACTLY! I agree with this completely. was thinking something similar, but you just put it out into words just how I was thinking.

griefer.. whatever, sounds geek talk to me and I don't have dictionary within reach. guns/weapons/replicas should be restricted only to the zone where they're completely allowed.

Why would FURRIES in-game hate HUMANS in-game?
We're all humans behind the keyboard, correct? (grant it, this is just an assumption)

I, myself am a furry because I like the avatar, but I don't yiff or anything like that.

Can anybody try to explain this?

Most furries that I know don't 'hate' Humans at all...

Some furry roleplayers RP their character as being from a world where 'normal' is being an anthro animal, and where a Human would be regarded as a truly bizzare and odd creature, much as most people in RL would regard an actual talking dog, or a sentient robot, or a winged pixie. These furrs are trying to immerse themselves in an RP role, and the Humans represent a disruption of the game they are playing. (Much as it would be disruptive for a furry to show up in a Gorean sim. It's less the case that Goreans hate furrs than it is that Furrs just don't fit into the Gorean RP scene.) They see the presence of a Human in their RP as being as jarring as being at a Renaissance faire, and trying to stay in persona as a 15th century tavern wench, when some joker walks in wearing a Star Wars storm trooper costume.

One of my homes is in a sim where virtually all of my neighbors are other furrs. There's one Human couple nearby, who have been quite pleasant neighbors. But in general, it's quite odd and unusual to see a Human walking into my entry hall. I tend to react in surprise if I see one unexpectedly. Still, it's an open sim, and not some sort of 'furry RP only area', so if a Human does show up, I try to take it in stride and be polite, even if we are in the midst of a fairly serious RP.

There are other furrs, however, who are more militant, or who have been on the wrong end of anti-furry prejudice too many times. A Human encountering one of them is in about the same situation as a fellow in a singles bar trying to make a pass at a militantly Lesbian girl. Even if he is polite, he's more lilely to get a less than polite response.

Like any group of people, Furries have those among them who can be prejudiced, or who are insensitive jerks. But please don't assume that all furries are alike, or that all of them hate Humans.

Being a minority, or being in a group that is sometimes discriminated against by bigots does not make one immune from being a bigot or discriminating against others...or from reverse discrimnation (the practice of intentionally hating and dicriminating against groups who have had memebers discriminate against you or your group in the past).

This is sad, but a fact of real life and human nature. It has nothing to do with being furry or with any individual group. Humans can find and justify a million reasons to discriminate...even when they themselves are being descriminated against.

lmao nailah, i LOVE the serene overtone of every one of your posts on this, im getting a good laugh out of this thing, good break from the weekly chores i putoff for update day ;-P

i personally love people, i respect each and every one in RL and SL until they prove unworthy of being respected, personally i love furrys, they are so f'ing cute, but my all-time favorite, is neko's, that act like kittens, absolutely amazing, dont mean i segregate myself from humans or robots ......... i dont like the goth scene exept the fact im a vampire, dont mean i be mean or disrespect them, or segregate myself from them,

also remember that some people get on SL to get AWAY from RL, such as myself, i've been in RL to long, in SL i can be myself, and happy with it, myself in RL is just ........ pardon the french but really fucked up, in second life with the front of how i feel i should look, i can accually act out who i want to be, and i find it 730x easier to talk to people, i am VERY shy in RL, LMAO, anyways, heres my 3 cents ;-P (figured 3 paragraphs not 2 ;-P) dont be hatin ;-P

*muah* love y'all ............ but i love my kitten krista kendall the most, and my other pet secilia mission the second most, and all y'all 4th .......... verdugo north saved my account from getting closed so i love him 3rd ;-P real tight spot he loaned me the lindens to keep it open

It is quite clear in Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics that the a priori state of knowledge endowed in mankind allows for an unearthing of that profound sense of self which must remain undefined to any except ourselves, but which simultaneously allows us to encapsulate this knowledge in such a way that we project it onto the world around us. The fusion of this constant negation and contradiction is the rational unity of these forums into a larger, evolutionary whole, as Hegel quite concisely points out.

bizarre, your post was bizzarre, but i think you said why we do what we do is only known by us, and that we shouldn't be filling up forums with it ;-P

Or...in other words...we only experience the world from our own point of view and thuse project that point of view upon the world and those around us, expecting to see our own experiences mirrored in others. When others do not mirror us in a way we expect it jars our world view and thus brings about uncertainty and fear...from which rejection of the source is natural and results in bias, bigotry and hatred based upon that fear. This is a basic human function, but also one that the higher mind can rationally understand and thus reject as an irrational response to a false image of the world due to our projections.

And in short: A person's perspective is their reality...although because of our higher thinking sometimes we realise that our persepective isn't truly reality at all, creating unrest within ourselves that we must somehow settle on our own.
