GET OVER IT! Good job Lindens!

VooDoo is SO representing typical Grand Rapids thought it's scary - but with a name like VooDoo, I would think they'd burn him at the stake up there.

Love ya, VooDoo, never change - SL needs all kinds of folks to keep spinning round. We're a diverse community - of course people are going to disagree sometimes.

Love you perverted roleplayers too - just remember my advice, keep it 700 feet up in the sky, with security orbs, to hide from the morality police.

I'm full of love this morning. I just prefer not to express it in pixellated sex form.

Hey, doesn't that mean that you're intolerant too? Just sayin'.

It appears to only be politically correct to pick on the conservatives. Come on, they have just as much of a right to their opinion as you do.

And, like everyone else, no right to have that opinion be sacrosanct.

*blinks*

Sorry but I completely fail to see what 9/11 has to do with restrictions on pixellated sex in a virtual world.

*Total seriousness on*
Yes. Definitely. Just as dragging the Holocaust into these debates is usally in poor taste, so is this. I experienced the horrors of that day too closely.

*Total seriousness off*

I think this is a great move on SL's part. I have been sitting back and reading all this crying and its time to get over it. I have never seen so many people addicted to porno!

My god people this is SL.. You still have the internet to download your kink porn from. (at least the police trace you that way)

SL needs to be cleaned up. First of all anyone found getting into child porn should be hung as far as I am concerned. Some sick ass minds out there. As for the people dressing up like animals and grinding on each other, or people acting like they are raping one another I have a question for you...

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU???

Did you not get enough love as a child or something. This is beyond SL.. This is some major mental issues that you should seek help for. Sign out of SL and get some damn help.

Flame me all you want for saying this but its true.... Some of you people need some major help in the brain area.

GOOD FOR YOU LINDENS! Clean up the garbage please. I for one would like to walk around SL without having some kind of sexual crap pushed on me all the time









haha, you know, i had a friend once who did ALL HE COULD to come across as a homophobe, turned out in the end he was gay....your extreme anger and exagerated support of the Lindens( read: ass licking) is pretty suspicious!!! i might report you....


Oh i realised im quoting words of yours that you later edited, but i dont care, maybe you will learn not to let yer ass do the typing for you and think twice before insulting people!!

I've seen religion argued about here several times. That is realy where all the worlds problems stem from. From Muslim extremists, to crazy christians.(the crazy christians are just as scary if not more.)

The entire notion of morality, or that anything sexual is dirty or wrong stems from one place. Religion.

I think it's all a farce at this point in my life, because anything that asks me to beleive that someone, no matter how good they may be is evil because they choose to be with the same sex, is just clearly once again the ideals of some person forced on everyone else.

As to the people that think sexuality is "in their face" i will ask a simple question.

What are you doing in a mature rated sim in the first place if you are offended by sex and violence.? Honestly? Is it that hard to uncheck "show mature content" when you search?

I say the intolerant should have their accounts closed instead. Now that would be progress.

In defense, the search engine is broken. People are getting Nasty ads even with the Mature Flag off. That needs to be fixed before we get Tangerine Trees and Marshmallow skies. But your other point has value. There are some who would not be happy if certain content was safely tucked away where only those interested can access it. They don't want ANYONE to see it at all.

And missed all this because I was enjoying my RL? Eep.... I just admitted to have a RL
*runs into the corner and hides*

Concerning VooDoo.... He seems to love this Troll-role. Oh my, he RP's an perverted forum-trolls. Calls the Lindens to get him removed, we cannot allow such abnormality among us!

Bah...

Morwen.

you must not know who i am... i'm the g d jumpman..i don't hop for hookers...hookers hop for me...

i'll rock ya world girl....
IM M E !!!!!!

I really appreciate this move and want to add my voice. I love the artistic freedom and tools that SL has supplied and suspect that was the original dream.

Morwen, I actually consider your response to be more of a troll..its a personal attack and it is things like this that keeps people who don't agree with you from posting.

But isn't it just as intolerant to ban the intolerant? Why not have a free and open debate with all parties. Censorship is wrong, even if the thoughts being censored are disagreeable. If something isn't true use facts to back up your side, not muting the opposition. If what is being debated is just opinion, well Thomas Jefferson said it best.

But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg.

-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on Virginia, 1782

The important thing is that the government does not have power to stifle opinion and jail dissenters.

This is what people get if they don't agree with you? I also support the Lindens in this and from reading your post I have to say that people can't be thrilled to have you on their side.

Did you even read what i quoted him as saying? or just the edited version of his post?


This is what people get if they don't agree with you?: No, this is what people get when they take the liberty to JUDGE and INSULT others on a forum.



ave to say that people can't be thrilled to have you on their side:Is this a team thing? are we doing it for points? I did not even state my feelings on the subject, you cant even tell if i am for or against what the Lindens are doing, so why this pseudo-intelligent post of yours?

I, too, am an artist in RL; I've worked professionally in graphic design and found SL to be a fantastic outlet for all aspects of my inner self.

Except I guess I don't count, by your standards.

Thank you for single handedly defining what SL is meant to be. You've accomplished something that has been hotly debated since the dawn of SL time, I stand in awe of your wisdom.

Suuure. Being intolerant of intolerance is being intolerant..Mmmhmmm. Sorta like being bigoted against bigots?



They have every right to their opinion...and they're free to express it. But when its filled with haughty proclamations, flawed reasoning, deliberate smears, and a complete lack of even attempted understanding of what others think or feel, then they deserve every single biting syllable of scorn, resentment, mockery, and vilification they get.

I've found that the "conservative" point of view only has room for itself. And that kind of tunnel vision is dangerous on so many different levels, that it simply boggles the mind.

wow!
well at least i have more insight into the kind of person that digs the new linden policy.
voodoo maybe you should be the one to design the new 'linden youth' uniforms?

Yes it is the conservative administrators at the colleges who are implementing speech codes as fast as they can.
It is the conservative lawmakers pushing "hate crime" laws, punishing speech and thought.
It is the conservatives who are trying to shut down a private museum that they do not agree with.

Oh wait, those are all liberals. Like I have said before, same coin different sides.

lol. i remember watching a video of SL from 2001 when it was in the prototype stage, and if I'm not mistaken (i'm not prepared to sit through it again ), it is mentioned that they were originally aiming for it to be a combat based MMORPG.

if i *am* mistaken then .. well .. I guess you can throw sculpti prim eggs at me later.

quelle surprise, anyway. their plans evolved. just because something was their original plan, doesn't mean it was a better or more laudable plan.

Nina, I also support the new Linden policy. I'm not sure what you mean about the kind of person...

In RL I am a political activist for over 20 years working on environmental, legalizing marijuana and First Nations issues (especially rape and murder in residential schools) with some good results in terms of court cases and the press. As well, I have been jailed for my beliefs and spent a year on probation. Most of my money and time has gone in RL to make this a freer more just world.

So I am the kind of person who supports the Lindens in this.

Actually I think anyone who thinks they are more right than others a real problem. And I have to say, for some reason, have kinky sex in SL seems to have made activists out of people who I suspect don't do much in the RL for human rights.

Don't leave out censoring and firing TV and Radio Talk Show hosts for making "Inappropriate " and Politically Incorrect comments when editorializing.

Don't get me started on Hate Crime Laws. The most ridiculous legislation I've seen in my lifetime. Except for maybe "No Child Left Behind". You flip the coin nowadays. It lands on the edge.

You make a great many assumptions about a great many people, and I suspect you have very little actual knowledge or data to back that up.

As for the first half of your statement - you seem to think you are more right than everyone here who disagrees with you. Irony.
