ya, apart from what everyone else said, a much simpler way would be just to
ignore them, seeing how Paypal would not close your account for missing
information, as they are a bank, and so, would definatly take much better
care of your information anyway.
but anyway, just check the url. put your mouse ontop the link (don't click)
and check to see if it's a paypal.com url, and make sure it's not
www.paypla.com at some.other.url

personally, I think the PK was right to warn you. though it might not state
it in the guidelines, I'm sure child molestation and kidnapping is not
something AW want discussed in their GZs.
but anyway, ya, I think Michael Jackson wasn't guilty. at least not too
guilty, maybe a little on the child molestation part, but just seams the
mother of the child is after attention, and the money that comes with it.
haven't read/seen much about it, just seams that way.

emm, ya, you're missing the point. the point is, that the older the cit, the
more mature you would probably be. you would be in activeworlds to build and
chat with people you know (maybe not in real life, but hey, they're still
people), and not there to just cause trouble (seeing how most people who
cause trouble are kids, who just got thier cits, or are still tourists) but
instead, have normal adult conversations (most teens would be in, say,
awteen, or teengate, or whereever), and, most adult conversations might have
the occasional swear word without anyone minding.

Ok, but see, thats not going to be a problem. the point is, the people who
hang around AW Gz, are the more mature ones, and so, would most definatly
respect people if they are offended by swearing, and so, we wouldn't have
the problem of people being offended.
Grown ups (by that i mean mature people) have been having conversations for
milleniues without anyone need to police them, what makes AW Gz diffrent,
and i mean when it is filled with grown ups, and not the occasional dumbass
it might get.
thing is, if it's offended people, i understand, but if everyones happy with
the conversation taking place, why spoil it?

"This does not happen in everyones lifetime so it should be
interesting."
emm, yes it does? i mean, unless you die early, then chances are very high
that you will witness. i remember reading an extract from "the prince" by
machiavelli (sp?) that the average lifespan of a pope is 10 years, so would
mea that everyone would see it happen, about, emm, 7 times.
the average may have changed over the years, seeing that the book was
written like, emm, 500 years ago(apparently, it was written exactly 500 yrs
ago this year, remember that, because that was the reason i decided to check
it out).
Well anyway, just kind of strange how alot of you guys spend you're entire
life not caring about religion, until someone dies, and then, a month later,
forget all about it again.
i mean, i'm not even catholic and have a general understanding of how the
pope is chosen, and by the looks of some of these posts, i'm one of the few
who do.
Well i just personally think it's kind of sad how quiet afew people (media
especially) only care when someone dies..

ya, but, i wasn't talking about being religious or not, i was simply saying,
don't pretend to be something your not, or pretend to care about something
you don't.
thing is, the whole mourning thing is turning into more of a fashion thing.
i'm not saying that no one cares, i'm just saying alot of people pretend to,
but don't. Well, slightly less on this ng though, but thought i'd bring it

because some people get offended about things they shouldn't get offended
about.
but guess it makes sense. it's like saying "that's the shit" or, that
everyone's bitching about it. none of them are ment as swear words really,
but some people are going to find them offensive, and start
complaining..just the way people are.

even though this doesn't belong in the community ngs, was kinda entertaining
to read i guess! :) but anyway
lol, all this at 55kph? must have some pretty slippery roads :) lost control
at way higher speeds then that, (but in a normal sized car) and just ended
up skidding alittle, and stoped. :) my guess, might want to do a check on
the van,(seeing how an hour later you were out in it again) could have been
alot worse.
oo, and it's still snowing over there?O_O wow, that must suck.

"The day all people would abandon religions and started to believe in logic,
there would not be any wars or crime anymore."
Emm, no, not really. Wars and crimes are usually not about religion, but
about greed. greed for power, for money, for whatever. if religion does
anything, quiet a lot of the time, it's a reason not to do those things, not
to sin.
It's like saying what's the point for certain laws, like, speed limits or
whatever, and it's because not everybody has enough common sense to decide
whether or not something is ok or the consequences of their actions.
Religion quiet alot of the time gives people a reason not to steal, kill,
rape, harm people and whatever, and also gives people hope and gives them
reasons to do things to help each other. ya, a person's conscience has alot
to do with that too, but so does religion, and without religion the world
would NOT be a utopia, but thier would just be less restricitions on a
person's conscience.
and yes, sometimes people do things, and use religion as an excuse, but
thats only because they don't acutally follow the religion they're using as
an excuse. So who's the say that the world wouldn't be a better place if
everyone was alittle more religious?
But ya, i agree about questioning. You can't truely believe in something,
unless you question it. You have to question it, and wonder why, otherwise,
you're just following something you don't understand, and that's just the
same as not following anything at all.
