Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr. Because the Christians are so non-violent to other religions, right? I'm not making a blanket statement about all Christians. I'm saying that Martin Luther King Jr. and I are non-violent and we both happen to be Christians. I'm saying that maybe some Christians are violent but there are Christians who are not violent. And you can't make me be loving by hating me without cause. Trust me that it does not help me to stay kind when people track me down in Second Life and act violently toward me but I will stay non-violent like Martin Luther King Jr. You might not have made blanket statements about Christians, but you were at least tossing towels over others here... "I better not tell you I'm male because if I tell you that I'm male, it means that I hate women. Apparently I can't tell you anything about who I am or you will assume I'm trying to make you just like me. So fine, I'll go crawl under a rock and die because apparently, anyone who is different from you is oppressing you and preventing you from expressing yourself. So let's kill everyone who isn't exactly like you and then you can finally be accepted and no longer oppressed. Then maybe there will be peace on Earth." I'll guess this hyperbole was born of frustration, perhaps over the way you were treated by this SL person you mention. I can sympathize with that, I've experienced threats in SL as well and it's quite unpleasant. But to extrapolate that behavior to others isn't warranted. Give us time to exhibit bad behavior before convicting us!

Thanks for breakfast, Val! I missed ya Lia, not much, but some ;-) I saw some Emmett activity in-world, so I know he's still alive. Happy Monday, Kids!!! ... pinches Hippie and runs.

Bejjinks, I think you're getting a less than warm and welcoming response for several reasons. I've seen your kind of hyperbole before, it's difficult to take seriously. If your goal was to establish the rationality of your Christian perspective, fantasizing objectionable behavior onto us hardly seems the best method.

7-8-2012 Grocery stores across the heat stricken central/eastern US report dwindling supplies of eggs as people attempt to cook them on sidewalks, hoods of cars and the bald pates of crazy uncles.

"Is there no peace anywhere? Is this Earth Hell already?" According to the statistics, the world is currently the least violent it's ever been. Life expectancy and personal wealth continue to increase. So, compared to the past, Earth might be looking pretty heavenly. Nevertheless, there's still plenty of room for improvement. "We live in a world where hatred reigns supreme. Everyone is full of bitterness and seeks to define a group of people to blame for all their problems. " The widely held perception that the world is going to Hell seems to be more an artifact of modern "journalism" than anything else. We're drawn to sensational news, which is usually bad, so that's the kind of news we get. God or no, your argument appears as a straw man to me, Bejjinks.

Benny, are you sure that the viewer is using the native 2440x1800 resolution? Could it be that you're actually running at 1440x900, which is the default resolution? Mac OS doesn't expose the display's native resolution in the "Displays" control panel because that would make the UI elements too small to see well. I think you can set the display to 1920x1080, which will shrink your Menubar text and other UI elements, but will also result in higher resolution rendering within SL. To find out what resolution your viewer is operating at, you can open the snapshot window and take a look, or snap a pic and examine it's dimensions. I don't have a Retina MacBook Pro, so I'm just guessing, but my guess is that your viewer is not seeing the machine's native display resolution.

7-4-1975 A young Wisconsin girl is sent to her bedroom without dessert for calling her neighbor, Charles, something that rhymes with his nickname. 7-4-2012 Scientists announce they are "pretty sure" they've discovered a particle which they are "kinda sure" is the Higgs Boson. Radical religious fundamentalists around the world once again sneer at science's uncertainty as they proclaim devotion to their countless "one true" Gods.

My concern is distraction. I can't imagine enjoying a conversation with someone who's not quite with me. I have an iPad, which is distracting but allows me to find things to share with people around me. Google Glasses eliminate that potential for sharing, and so I (until shown otherwise) will wonder if they aren't just another way to isolate oneself. They also eliminate or alter the visual cues we get from people using phones and iPads that tell us they're busy doing something else. Maybe we'll get past the awkwardness of seeing people looking at (to us) imaginary things, but I think that's an awkwardness nature selected us to recognize. I'm not prone to dystopian fantasizing, but imagine a world full of introverted intellectuals with barely a foot in RL while they "connect" virtually. The saving grace of those glasses, the camera (which views RL), is also a potential privacy concern. If I find myself in a conversation with someone wearing these glasses, I believe I'll ask them to remove 'em.
