there are good and bad people in second life. Positive work, and negative. Im tired of people always looking at only the bad... Its not logical, helpfull, or kind.

Well, why not? They can´t really forbid it, also the main grid is for people +18 only (atleast before the grid merge) so they can do whatever they want. Linden Lab makes profit of every member in second life, and if people just make account´s for having virtual sex, it´s ok. But still, it is only a game. You can´t be in love with a avatar, but with a real human.

Phillip, Why not include democracy into Second Life? I have the code to create democratic conversations to quickly define the true will of any group.

Our collective will has never been expressed. It's always been repressed. Once Our will is expressed, it becomes Our reality automatically. That's what the banksters don't want Us to know. Express your will about everything that affects you at Majority Voice. It's the only system of real democracy.

Second Life innovative? Give me a brake. He just wants to get rich and screw his paying customers? His employees are incompetent fuckups who don't listen to the so called "residents" Get real and wake up people. Don't spend your money to this online scam. It never worked, it doesn't work and it will never work. WAKE UP!!!

I would like to believe Rosedale,,, but I agree with FoodServe. After spending hours in SL, I think it's less about education than it is about cyber and shopping. Maybe someday that will change... doubtful.

everyone on second life, is there for the virtual sex. Some bitches will tell you, "I'M HERE FOR THE DANCING". Bitch pleaseeeeeeeee. If you like dancing so much, go dance in the real world. You are here to get fucked, so dont be in denial.

what about if we try to organize something similar in Italy? IN Trento? would be just a foreigner idea?

I'll say a contraddicton: I THINK WE'RE NOT READY TO SHARE OUR LIFE STYLE WITH SECOND LIFE (real time spend on the virtual world); but at the same time IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR BUSINESSES and any other human activity to be known to a world wide audience in just few seconds.
