Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

This might be amusing to some and offensive to others, but this is Second Life Safari, and it's basically a load of articles that serve to make fun of/anger/satirise/disturb/highlight the weird and wonderful citizens of Second Life.

Second Life Safari

Second Life is full of some absolutely filthy stuff, but shutting it down is a bit much. I once did a big creative writing piece with some people and we met up there to discuss ideas and work together ever though they were from either side of the US. It's a good idea corrupted by the fact that humans are bloody weird.

Edit: Also, a news reporter pretending to be a child isn't paedophilia, and if a child lies that's really not the company's fault.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

How do you propose stopping under 18's from accessing any of the over 18 websites? Even if it is simple pornography.

I ask again, would you be asking to shut Accringtonweb down? And are you REALLY suggesting that theres a direct comparison between sites that exploit kids and a game that has a minority of people doing sick things?

Fact is the exploitative sites will only be used for that one purpose, an illegal one. Where as the majority of people who play Second Life don't go there for that purpose.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

if the site is for over 18's only, then WHY can you make yourself into a child????....who would walk around as a child?

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

Because just looking like a child isn't paedophilia. Also it's not that they let you become a child, so much that they let you become anything. You can program your own look. You make it on your PC and pay to upload it to the Second Life servers.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm merely opening you up to my opinions on the matter.

When I said 'Simple pornography' i referred to pornography sites not pedophile activities.

And you're seriously fine with shutting accrington web down if a pedophile visits? Really? You really think everyone else should suffer just because one sicko (who can easily be caught) comes onto the site? Surely its better to catch and prosecute the individual?

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

Second Life is an adult orientated site, children shouldn't even be on there, in fact, children shold be on the internet at all. The internets main key purpose, at least in the beginning was pornography, so can anyone geninely say they are surprised at the nmber of perverts on the internet?

It wouldn't surprise me if we had a few lurking around on accyweb seen as the forum declares itself 'family friendly'.

Nothing on the internet is family friendly, thats why there are stupid people on the forum who think its fine to swear as long as they replace the vowels with 1's and so on, so its still easily read. Idiots.

Maybe we should all petition for the entire internet to be shut down too whilst we're at it. :rolleyes:

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

Its a virtual reality site, therefore its meant to simulate real life. Not only can you be a young child, but you can also be an old person. Why? Because thats what real life involves, age ranges.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

hardly surprising it was on SKY News , produced by one of Murdoch's monkeys , how can anyone with a modicum of intelligence can believe anything produced by a corporation that includes the Sun and the News of the World is beyond me , this guy (Rupert Murdoch) is one of the biggest peddlars of soft porn through his newspapers, in the UK (page 3 the Sun) .
Back to the original theme of the thread , if the site is designed for over 18s and you are concerned about your children getting access .........one question "Do you know where your kids are ?" .......a question for every parent should ask themself , and if you say no , why don't you know ?

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

What a load of rubbish. :cool:

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

I think the owners of second life should be responsible for its content. If they can not control what is going on then the site should be shut down. I suspect second life has grown out of control for what is probably a very few people who actually work for the site.

As far as children are concerned - it is up to parents to make sure their kids are safe at all times. This means making sure they know what they are doing on the internet. Many parents do not understand PC's and the internet, this is where the problems start IMHO. The parents really should make an effort to learn enough to know if their chilr is safe in what they are doing.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

yes but in real life ya dont go walking around pretending to be a child or old person do ya?.....Attachment 11031

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

perhaps a better idea would be a petition to keep "students" off the internet.:tongueout

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

I was going to take an accy holiday and refrain for a few weeks to concentrate on other things but as always you people can’t be left alone for one minute without things getting out of hand.

Blazey, please tell me your taking the ****……The original intention of the internet was Command and Control and information dispersal among the US Forces and Internal and external US agencies.

In terms of the net as we know it today it is like any other “Media” in that individuals and groups will adopt it for there own proposes, good or bad. Pornography as been around for millennia and is represented throughout history in all forms of media from rock drawings to the internet, pornography as its place in society and without it we’d most likely be a worse society in general, agree with or not it’s always going to be there as long as we have dicks.

In respect of this issue, when something offensive occurs on this site the Mods or Roy removes it. Simple as that, so there is on excuse for the owners of this site not to monitor and review offensive material and remove it immediately it rears it ugly head. End of.

The sad thing at this stage of the game is that this material is virtual; and is not currently an offence, and no matter how you react no child is featured or abuse on the site, it is the same loop hole for the violence, racism and perverted behaviour that can be found in some PC, Xbox and Play Station Games….

But don’t shout at me, speak to you MP’s and demand that action is taken against this sort of behaviour, it will only become an issue and gain the appropriate funding if its in the public arena.

Re: Second Life: Paedophiles!!!
 

Blazey is partly right. The porn industry has helped the net grow from its early days. It has also been at the forefront of media delivery as well. Porn funds many of the dodgy software and hacking sites as well.
