[Bringing Teens to Second Life’s Main Grid]

For all the people who are afraid of "hooking up" with a teen that doesn't lie about their age, there is an easy solution.  Teleport them to a mature or preferably Adult sim, before you have sex with them.  I'm sure any actual adult that intended to hook up with you would not be offended that you require this verification process.  And if they are, theres plenty of other guys pretending to be girls that you can hook up with.

Great news. You can so tell phil is back.

And now he's gone again.

I occasionally sit at my computer naked, and so far, no one in SL has reported me to the authorities.  I guess I've just been lucky till now, someone is bound to call the authorities now that Ive admitted it.  I guess I won't be able to do that anymore once the merge completes.

Im sorry for not clarifying.  Yes, there is danger for hapless morons with no common sense.  I personally have nothing to fear from the teen grid merging, but then I don't solicit sex from every new avatar that I see on the grid.  Yes, it will be entirely possible for some idiot to get into trouble once kids are allowed to roam free.  Not so much from the kids themselves, but from the federal agents posing as children.  I still stand by my argument that a 16 year old camming over from the next sim and seeing cartoon nipple will not be grounds for a federal indictment.

Once again I see someone quoting "far too many well cited examples" without actually citing any examples.

The only well cited examples I know of are when adults either send photos of their junk or try to hook up in real life with children, or try to get children to send nude photos of themselves.

The law is paranoid and unreasonable about protecting the children

Here is another mention of this mysterious "law" that no one seems to know much about.  Its the internet boogeyman that sends avatars scurrying to hide their naughty bits.  Yes, there is need for concern for allowing teens on the main grid, but the concern is not from camming in on cartoon nudity.

I searched for "transmissions of salacious materials" and I did find a law that prohibits it.  Yes, China law prohibits transmission of salacious materials on the internet.  And there is much to fear, I believe the chinese government is fond of death by firing squad.  I highly recommend you limit your internet sexual activity while visiting China.

Please enlighten me to which painfully clear law this is.

1. The 1971 film The Andromeda Strain  contains a shot showing a deceased woman's bare breasts. The film's G rating is qualified with the text "may be too intense for younger children."
       2. Sixteen Candles contains a shower scene where there is a close-up of breasts and buttocks. PG rated (re-rated on appeal; previously it was R rated).
       3. Doc Hollywood has a scene with full frontal female nudity where Julie Warner emerges from a lake nude. This film is one of a number of PG-13 films in which a person's (in this case female's) genitalia can be clearly seen.
       4. Beowulf A scene where Grendel's mother emerged from the water, though her breast are covered, but not her genitalia. PG-13 rated.
       5. Back to School includes a scene where Rodney Dangerfield accidentally walks in on a showering co-ed. PG-13 rated.
       6. Titanic has a scene with Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) drawing a nude portrait of Rose (Kate Winslet), while the actress lay nude in her pose. PG-13 rated.
       7. National Lampoon's European Vacation has a brief scene where a woman unbuttons her shirt, revealing that she is not wearing a bra. Both nipples are exposed. PG-13 rated (re-rated on appeal, previously it was R rated).
       8. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen features a live-action depiction of Botticelli's painting The Birth of Venus in which the title subject is portrayed nude. Her genitalia are not visible, though her breasts and nipples are. PG rated.
       9. Airplane! has a scene in which, during a moment of panic and confusion aboard the jet airliner of the title, a topless woman runs close to the camera, briefly faces it, then continues running. Only her nude torso is shown; her face is not visible. PG rated.
      10. Trail of the Pink Panther features a scene in which two women are shown in a grape vat nude and their breasts are shown (very briefly). PG rated.
      11. Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi features a scene in Jabba's throne room where, as a dancer is being dropped into the Rancor pit, her top comes off and her breasts are shown for a split second. PG rated.
      12. Weekend at Bernie's II features a scene where Bernie, who is being dragged by a parasail, pulls the bikini tops off of two women on a beach. Bernie drops them while airborne, and they fall into a man's hands. One of the women snatches the tops back from the man, and her breast is seen for a split second. PG rated.
      13. The US theatrical version of Godzilla vs. Megalon features shots inside a container truck with pornographic material on the back wall. G rated.
      14. The Living Daylights features two scenes of nudity. The first scene is when James Bond exposes a woman's breasts to distract a guard. The second is when a men's washhouse is rolled over in a camp in Afganistan. Nude behinds are shown. PG rated.
      15. Diamonds are Forever shows female breasts several times throughout the movie. PG rated.
      16. Octopussy clearly shows breasts and naked behinds throughout the opening credits. A woman later emerges from a pool without any clothes on. Her behind is shown. PG rated.
      17. In Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes , Tarzan doesn't wear clothes until his late teenage years, leading to 5 minutes of full frontal nudity. PG rated.
      18. In Critters 2: The Main Course , bounty hunter Lee chooses a human form to transform into, and the result is him morphing into a model from an issue of the Playboy magazine. As he transforms, his new female form is seen topless. PG-13 rated.
      19. In Monster in the Closet , as Margo is in the shower and she gets interrupted, her breasts are briefly shown. PG rated.
      20. In Howard the Duck , as Howard is propelled out of his apartment, he crashes through the wall of a female duck with human-like breasts in her bath. PG rated.

I guess #20, Howard the Duck would be the closest equivalent to what cartoon nudity your pixel breasts would offer 16 and 17 year olds in SL.

youre not going to get arrested for being cammed by a tween while pixel naked in a hot tub.  You will however get arrested for chatting up said tween and sending them photos of your junk.
