Has it occurred to ANYONE that its rather gutless "bashing " some one that
cant answer back?....... no?.....didn't figure it would.

whats the problem with that?

actually... even though you where being sarcastic , I don't disagree with
the "rules" you suggested. cept for the macro scanner one of course.

and if you think any one pays any money to be "advertised" LOL ! at a
GZ, you have a more grandiose idea of the earning power of a world caretaker
than I've ever known!!!!

but other than that.... I cant see the faults in what you suggested.....gaps
in your knowlege and naivety yes, faults no

We DO have ( were I am) porn channels on basic cable...... but the cable
decoder has a parental "lock" to enable parents to screen out that and any
other channels they want kept from their child. Morale of my story? It IS
up to the parents to decide where and how and when their children are
subjected to such things. If they are very liberal minded, or lazy....who
are you to second guess their judgement and impose your morals on their
children? Some parents would consider Nation Geographic channel to contain
questionable material and block it via the parental control...... but if
they told me I couldn't allow my child to watch that channel I would be
MIGHTILY annoyed. I am not saying that children should be allowed to view R
rated material, I am saying its not up to any one else but the parents to
decide where to draw the line.


Some one has suggested that R rated worlds have their own category and i
agree. If little Johnny's parents want to let him have the complete freedom
to peruse such worlds in his attempts to have a complete vote, then that is
up to them.

Well, it is logical. But it doesn't solve the problem. Take jacob here,
for example. He's rumored to be 6! Of course, it's impossible to tell,
since he just as likely has a bad concept of english grammar. But let's use
the age as an example in any case. Now, knowing Jacob as I do (he and one
of his friends hang around SW City sometimes) he's just going to click on
any little ol' sign he comes across, regardless of whether it's in an
R-rated or X-rated category or not. Why? He's a little kid. He can't
grasp these kinds of things.

You're assuming kids are going to stay away from X-rated worlds just because
they are labelled as such. Well that doesn't always happen. Teenagers are
especially notorious for ignoring these kinds of things. Parents need to
watch what their kids are doing, yes, but the problem should be attacked
from both sides. Society should be doing just as much to look out for
children as parents, otherwise we'd have porn channels on our basic cable.
I've said that before, and that is why I'm confortable with the Cy Awards'
new stance on this subject.

Btw... thanks for letting me use your name as an example, Jacob! :)

The UN is toothless and useless, but, having said that...... I still agree
that if "we" go to war with Iraq without UN sanction then we are guilty of
supporting the American bully Bush ( who has his own agenda and it ISN'T
about weapons of mass destruction). One cannot say that Iraq hasn't complied
with a UN order to be rid of such weapons so therefore we should make him,
if we do not ourselves follow UN directives!

Many in Iraq would prefer to be out from under "Suddenly Insane's" iron
thumb, but there is also many that keep him in power. We have not got the
right to dictate another country's politics. If the ppl that oppose their
dictator were to rise up and try to shake their oppressor and ask for our
aid, and our internationally sanctioned body for world order ( The United
Nations) agreed that we should help, THEN and only then would we be morally
justified in resorting to interfering. Or if they came spewing out of their
country trying to tell us how to run our countries......well.......smack em
and make em run back home crying.

And as for their supposed affiliations with the Taliban ..... has any one
offered even a logical scenario for this accusation? I don't believe them
incapable..... as (The enemy of mine enemy is mine friend) they both hate
the United States, but..... that is a huge generalisation. Why don't they
accuse Korea of the same things.... after all ... they have openly resisted
Americas dominance over world opinion too.

What I would like to know, is WHY Bush hates Suddenly Insane so much.... why
is being rid of him more important than the thousands that would die as a
result of his stubbornness to wage what could possibly be World War 3.

I don't wanna die because some idiot American has delusions of grandeur and
our pathetic excuse for an Australian leader wants to kiss his bushy butt.





[View Quote] I am yet to be convinced that there are any Weapons-Of-Mass-Distruction in
Iraq.

Until I am convinced that there are (or take the word of a majority of the
UN security council that there are) WOMD, I will be totally opposed to any
war against Iraq.

When should a teacher eject a visitor to AWSchool? Good question! And it is
a very subjective one, at that :o) Basically, we eject when a visitor is
abusing our hospitality, we need to remember that we are teachers and hosts
and not dictators of ppls morality.

If some one comes to your home, perhaps a friend of your sisters, and says
"Hotdamn, your mother's cookies are great!" Do you threaten to turf them out
in the street? Do you say to them " this is a G rated home, please do not
use that language here" or do you just take the compliment as it was meant
and not invite them over when your aged grandmother is present? Of course
you do. :o)

On the other hand, if a person is abusing your sister in your home, calling
her rude names and casting dispersions on her in front of you...... you grab
him by the arm and make sure he hits the pavement, don't you? Well i would
hope the same applies in AWSchool, if you have a visitor that is clearly out
to see how fast he can upset everyone, i would only warn him that the
pavement is close once at the most. And doing it in whisper will hopefully
not upset his vanity and make him all the more determined to "show how tough
he is"

That is the two extremes, there are many situations in between and will be
up to the individual to display sound judgement and listen to his/her
experience when choosing to warn or eject or just shrug it off. Or taking
the time to change the subject without alluding to the comment that was
"borderline".

-Remember, little words like damn, shit and the like is not going to hurt
any one. Talking in caps is not something that is worth yelling at some one
for unless they are combining that with abuse and or harassment.


makes a lot of sense .....dont it?

mmm used to be a teacher? news to me, mate. but then , your falsehood
explains why you got awschool policies ass about.

As always the "harder" commands will not be taught as part of a basic
"beginner" lesson. AWS does its best to help newbies with the standard
basics first and foremost, any thing else is up to the teachers individual
skills.

If some one asks for help on the new commands , then a teacher will either
help them if they have acquired the skills or call another teacher if at all
possible. AWS policy does not include special effects as part of a Basic
Beginners Lesson and that is our primary focus....

Chucks Party has a point. Although I am not sure about paedophiles finding
AW a suitable place to "pick up" victims, as 5 year olds are pretty light on
the ground but I know a young lad of 17 that was "seduced" by a homosexual
while in AW. This poor kid, over a period of time, came to depend on this
man for his emotional wellbeing and eventually tossed in his schooling, told
his parents he was gay, dropped his girlfriend and wanted to travel overseas
and consummate his relationship with this man. That's when the Homosexual
laughed in his face and confessed that he had merely been using the lad for
his own sexual gratification.

I dont know how he eventually dealt with his feelings of suicide and
depression ..... he dosent live at home any more and i have lost all contact
with him.

One thing I do know, m0e and before him Razzle, take their jobs as protector
of AW's innocents seriously and I would have confidence in 99% of ppl in AW
to report any wrong doing of the nature Chuck is speaking of. Personally I
feel children are safer in AW than they are in their own homes... where most
molestations of children occur.

Having been molested by a family member when I was young, I have a hatred of
any one that would directly hurt a child or an adult for that matter, and a
dislike for ANYONE that would deliberately cause another pain and suffering
merely to seek revenge over a petty matter such as a disagreement about a
building in a virtual world.

Perhaps we all need protection.

May 4, 2001, 12:41am

mmm now that was rather unwarranted.
I highlighted a particular instance of "behaviour unbecoming" of which i
was aware and this qualifies as bigotry? *clears throat*


my point was that ANY pain caused by one person to another is wrong, when
done willfully. Is what Chucks Party is doing any the less bigoted than you
wrongfully accuse me of being?

protection? from all the ppl in aw that causes another pain.....such as
yourself

*predicts aw ghost town*

May 10, 2001, 6:53am

geeeeeezusssss christmas, you guys are loonies!!!!!!!!!!!! Dead issue, over
and done with you goonie birds!!!!!!

For any one that cant let this rest and wants to know the Fair and Unbiased
story contact me in AW ( i wont *bore* ppl with it otherwise)

I think Friend Pa is a lovely person and ive been her friend for ages and
any one that says she did the wrong thing will answer to me, including Just
In.

I also know Just In in real life and contary to popular belief he *has* got
feelings

so will you leave *both* of them alone ? It has nothing to do with anyone OR
Awld and it dosent need to be muck racked for the benifit of children that
like poking sticks in ants nests

And before any one takes me up on the offer of "what happened" i am
warning you .... its boring and i wont answer personal questions.

I would also like to state that i dont want to *have* to discuss this with
any one, i just think the "taking sides" has gone on long enough and im only
offering because i want you to leave two ppl that dont deserve this alone
and perhaps if you find out *how* boring it is when its not being blown out
of porportion by goonies, then that will happen.

NOW, can we end this and get on with some useful posts? hehehe like

mmmm my first time in aw?

Some friends that i had hooked up on pIRCh ( they are married now) dropped
around and told me about this great new programme they had found....it was
called Activeworlds.
I was making the coffees while they installed it on my computer and i heard
a yell " do you wanna be a tourist or a citizen?" i said...... mmmm will
it cost me? "NO" they cry

LOL well any way next thing i knew i was a citizen and i was getting a block
of land covered for me...."just cover it....dosent matter if it overlaps "
they said " just make sure its safe from vandals"

Over the next week i walked around the area jotting down objects and running
" home" and building them,completely mystified when a strange message popped
up and said " this area is full" mmmmm could that have been because i didnt
know about DELETE and i was sinking objects that went wrong??

I remember thinking .... gee wouldnt it be nice if you could move sideways
:o)

One day about 6 months later, i was bored and wondered into GZ ( i didnt
know The Gate existed) where i spotted an advert for Lara's Building Yard. I
met the GREAT Lara herself!!!!.....well she spotted a sucker and from there
....... well to here :o))
