"Australia's censorship crusade continues! Yesterday, we talked about how the Australian government was about to start censoring the Internet, and today we find out that Second Life is also about to be blocked. I think the country is only one step away from burning people at the stake for crimes of witchcraft.
Minister Stephen Conroy has confirmed that online adult games, including Second Life, will be barred under the ministry's sinister "filtering plan." The censorship will extend beyond..."
""I went mad - I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Amy said, of finding her feckless hubby having pretend sex in a game with a stranger.
"I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned."
"The solicitor wasn't at all surprised - she said it was her second divorce case involving Second Life that week," she added.
Amy's Second Life alter-ego was called Laura Skye. Pollard's was call..."
In 2006, US Congress passed a bill titled the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act'. As part of this bill - the Government is attempting to outright ban 'games of skill' ranging from online backgammon or bridge- to even as far as Second Life. Though they cannot ban websites or applications altogether - the movement is to prevent financial institutions (including PayPal) from transferring funds to such websites.
If you live in the United States, you can automatically inform your cong...
The United States Congress has finally gone virtual! A subcommittee meeting of the House of Representatives was held yesterday on children's safety in virtual worlds. However, this meeting is a first for Congress as it was also simulcast on Second Life. People that logged in on Second Life to watch the meeting were able to be seen on television screens scattered around the meeting room by the people that were in DC, while the people from Second Life could watch the meeting through a screen...
"With the stock market growing increasingly skittish, these are uncertain financial times. That is, unless you're hawking wares in Linden Lab's Second Life, the popular PC life simulation/virtual world whose generation of real-world cash with in-game real estate deals have created at least one real-world millionaire.
This week, Linden Lab CEO Philip Rosedale told Business 2.0 the scale of trade in Second Life. He estimates that virtual merchants make over $1.3 million every day hawking in-..."
It's not like our very first life is free from terrorism, and it seems that our Second Life is now also being targetted by terrorists. Recently there have been many attacks, many deaths and no captures, the reason is that the terrorists are doing all this in the virtual world known as Second Life.
It's not just gamers that are interested in Second Life but terrorists, and that too for a completely different reason. Second Life provides them with the perfect place to reherse their operatio...

English police officers plan on posting "Child Missing" posters in some of the most popular areas of the game. You see, an adorable moppet namedMadeleine McCann went missing recently, and the bobbies think she might be in Second Life... or, more accurately and less snarkily, the po-po think someone in the game might have some leads as to her whereabouts.
They are truly trying everything to find this girl, although the implications that child-abductors spend their free time hanging out in S...
I've tried this game myself and it's actually like living real life except nearly everything you want to do in this must be paid for, except playing the game. This game lives up to it's name 'Second Life' as your second life in the virtual world. Going to Destiny Island from the game Kingdom Hearts to visiting Midgar from Final Fantasy it's all in here.
Now moving on to child porn is very offensive and illegal. Even though it's meant to be a second life, this doesn't mean all the illegal ...
"I dreamed up any excuse I could with my family to tell them I needed to get online for a few minutes here and there, he says. It was pathetic. Thats where the lines get blurry, says P. Shavaun Scott, a marriage and family therapist from San Luis Obispo, Calif.
If people are getting their needs for love, attention, intimacy, companionship and sex from somewhere else, I think its cheating, she says. And, if theyre keeping their relationship a secret from their real-life partner."
