For those unfamiliar with the cyber world Second life is an online community in which people create virtual avatars that represent themselves. They can play music, eat food, buy virtual property, have sex, and do everything that we can do in real life except they can fly and float wherever they want on the second life globe. I have several problems with the concept of second life. First of all you can even commit crimes or pay second life currency to perform rape fantasies. That is pretty disgusting if you ask me and sadly for these folks the fantasy of finding a significant other seems more distant than anything else. Hopefully these weirdos decide to stay inside and not float anywhere near back alleyways in real life.
I'm not sure what is more sad building a very successful second life while ignoring your first life, or striving for success in second life and failing at that. This is my theory if you are a second life stalwart you are a loser, if you are a loser in second life then please avoid any bridges and rope stores and get help. Even things that rhyme with second life are weird, like the few people in utah that take a second wife.This real life has so much to offer, so much to see and do, why throw that all a way for the blandness of a virtual world where all you will meet is nerds?

You make so many good points. These people fantasize about a virtual life they can realize rather than trying to realize the life in front of them.
Second Lifer's too, are " in character" it seems more than not. I don't suppose they have real life spouses, friends or family; how could they; they're online all the time. "Honey can you pass me the cream and sugar...I just emailed you a kiss." Yikes!
haha emailed me a kiss best comment ever mike. I wish i thought of that one.
I run into the same thing on nearly any time-sucking interactive website. I used to be Head Admin of a game server, and we had people who took laptops to work and used AOL to come onto the game server so they wouldn't get busted by their employers. Sad but true.
Man, I wonder who has the time for that shit. They should instead fly and float themselves to a mental health clinic.
Well if they all flew to the mental clinic they can engage in their nerdy gang rape fantasies together while floating. I'm sure that would add to the kinkyness for them.I have no idea who has time for this shit but apparently they have real life fully mastered.
Harsh. Tell me some more things that rhyme with second life. It all sounds fun.
WEIRD! People actually do that? I feel so behind the times...
And they all have sex with bees. You forgot that part. I emailed you an std!zwaaarg!
Doesn't appeal to me. Think I'll just stick to blogging, which can be time-consuming as well, but I try not to let it. At least with blogging you meet some really interesting people. :)
preach!
i agree with static there seems more and more everyday people are losing their sense of morality their fantasy of rape and killing are discusting to me i have a real life and i dont intend to have a second one the real one can be weird enough
Wow, I never knew this existed and it sounds pretty pitiful to me.
Good post.
I agree with you - it is truly disgusting to even "play" rape in a virtual world.
and their asses are widening IRL but their avatars stay svelte. Gimme an effin break.
