A little while ago I asked this ( in relation to another topic )

( I wont quote the whole thing just a link
/139/e1/113044/1.html )

I would ask do you still maintain this fallacy ?

I refer in particular to :

From: Adriana Caligari

You openly allow under age gambling and pornography.


to which your reply was :

From: Torley Linden

Those are unfair generalizations. We certainly don't allow underage gambling and pornography--on Teen Second Life, games must be of skill, not chance, and porn is most certainly isn't allowed there either.


Would you deny that it is entirely possible for a 14year old who is unconcerned with lying about their age to :

create an account,
log in,
Beg, Solicit or visit enough money trees to raise some money,
visit a casino and gamble that money
use the winnings from the casino to visit a pay-for-view pornography cinema
( thereby seeing an RL porn film )
use what is left to go to a club and be "serviced" by an escort

And still have time to do their homework ?

I am curious, and although I am not a parent or a news reporter I am sure people in both of those categories would be extremely interested in reading your reply ( if there is one ).

On a personal level I totally get this. As you ask, I would think to myself: "What if I had a 14-year-old child doing this?" which puts it all the more closer.

But I think it's important today we don't get torn up by fears, but address the real issues we have

Pardon I don't have a more detailed response: RSI is wasting my hands. :(
