From: Susie Boffin I think that all of you are so wrapped up with trying to convince others of the rightness of your views that you remind me of people on a treadmill going nowhere. Sorry but I've been wanting to say that for a long time.  *Girds self for the attacks* I'm shocked. Am I to believe that someone earlier on My list of 'intelligents' is disagreeing with me? Jiminy! Ultimately, though, I knew this would eventually happen. Sadly, it is impossible to ever really trust another person. Too bad. Sadly, I must revise my Cranial list of 'good posters' and Rethink people's positions on same. Every day, it seems, it happens. Why oh why am I Never Given a chance to really connect? Alas. Regrettably, I have resigned myself to this fate. Oh well. Unless, there was a hidden message in her reply, subtly indicating that I am mistaken? Nahhhhh. Disappointment, thy name is: INTERNET. |

From: Iridian Oz and your interpretation of my comments are subjective as well. lets ride the carousel all nite. wheeeeeeeeee!
you can post all the pseudo-intellectual psycho-babble you want about the grieving process, you are just parroting some psychologists SUBJECTIVE view on the issue.
that build does not help everyone heal, if indeed anyone. besides, your gang has already stated they placed it as a way to ridicule post 9/11 patriotic americans, which contradicts your "healing" excuse.
now, which is it?
social commentary?
humor?
healing?
maybe you can invent some more between now and your next post. Maybe it's all three? |

From: Iridian Oz it doesnt matter if you think porn should be allowed outside in M zones, its not. Why? because some people find it offensive. I find censorship offensive. Where does that leave us? From: someone cris used the word "obtuse", and that was precisely why i didnt answer you, i felt you were being deliberately obtuse with your response to MY question. I think you knew perfectly well why I was asking, and now to cover your ass, youre suggesting porn be allowed outdoors in M zones. but, what about the fact that many M zones border PG zones? You didn't answer because you know you've been licked. Your repeated use of personal insults does nothing but confirm this. Furthermore, I already covered the porn issue twice, first by suggesting a possible buffer zone (minimum distance from bordering PG sims) and second by suggesting a possible "xxx" flag that could be set on a parcel. |

From: Louis Neutra I created that tower and I see no harm in having it up there. Of course you don't. Because you seem to be completely devoid of feelings for the pain of others. From: someone I'm truly ashamed that many of you see it as offensive. Please. Spare us the patronizing crap - you're not 'ashamed' of anything. You're the one who responded to my question "Who built this? I'm curious." with some empty canards about how "being offended is good". I never said anything about being offended -- you automatically assumed that I was. You *expected* it. So cut the crap, you're putting on a disingenious act here for the sake of a public performance and you're not fooling anyone. From: someone If you cannot look at the tower and realize that it's there for the sake of humor, then you honestly need to reevalute your lives and try to make your time more productive than wasting it on STARTING A THREAD ON AN INTERNET FORUM. People who find humor in the death and suffering of other people have far deeper problems. Get help. From: someone The tower itself is more or less a response to those that felt the need to become uber-patriots after 9-11 and adorn their lawn with American flags and signs that read "JESUS LOVES ALL". If that was your message you might have found a more appropriate way of getting it across -- as it is, your crass attempt only made you look like sociopathic fools, not humorists. You missed a great chance to get people to agree with you. For what it's worth, your revised exhibit with the cross made of flags, while still tasteless and simplistic, isn't anything to get worked up over at all. Just someone farting around with Photoshop. From: someone Some of you have to realize that others have dissenting views on specific matters. I consider being told to take my tower down offensive; should I start a thread and drivel on about how censoring my builds is a violation of MY free speech? No because you don't have any "free speech" in SL. The only free speech here is granted and taken away by the Lindens. From: someone Threads like this and people like Cristiano really ruin the game for me. This is not your life. This is not reality. It's a stupid online game that some of you take a tad too seriously. Someone else predicted you would say this. They were right. |

From: Huns Valen You didn't answer because you know you've been licked. oh yeah! you got me there! Zing! SUBJECTIVE ALERT! I didnt answer, because you would have written off any answer I gave, whilst playing obtuse, again. not to mention, you know damned well why I asked, which is why you immediately started saying porn should be free to display outside, because then you can justify that build of the towers a little more. transparent. you can do better! you can claim youve "licked" me, it doesnt mean a goddamned thing. *ring* *ring* Mom: hello? Huns: "mom, i "licked" this girl on the intarweb!" Mom: "oh huns, i am SO proud of you, someday you will win teh intarweb completely!" Mom (to dad): "hunny, our boy is well on his way to winning teh intarweb! and you argued with me about getting him that commodore!"  |
