I know it's a 4 year old thread, but nobody mentioned this...
It is not only against the rules for child avatars to engage in adult activity (that was mentioned) but it is also against the rules for child avatars to be in the presence of adult activity, and afaik also where there is adult activity stuff whether being used or not. That wasn't mentioned.

Or perhaps, "You looked as though you were in a hurry to go somewhere, so we got you started. We must have been mistaken."

It doesn't read like a joke to me, but there you go.

You didn't ask for a solution. Rick gave you one possibility which turned out to work. Belinda gave another possibility, which would also turn out to work, and, surprisingly, she gave you the identical solution that you just gave someone else in another thread. Your response to Belinda was unkind.

Wow! That's exactly the reply that you strongly criticised when someone replied in your thread. You even wondered why they bother posting. I'm astonished.

Your posts are so not helpful. I wonder why you bother posting in the first place.
You didn't ask for a solution and yet 2 people gave you one. Neither of them answered the question in your post and yet your response to the first one was very unkind.

I knew that already (my dad had a 78RPM of it for his Victrola), but I would think it's fair to say, the midday sun is worse in Summer. In case you missed my point..
Except you said that "it's an AWFUL summer. Only "mad dogs and Englishmen" would be out in it."
And you didn't grant my wish!

Granted, but the rest of your life will be terribly boring.

I wish that Love would realise that it's the midday sun that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in

Of course not for 98% of the SL working residents. But it can be a source of supplemental income, even if it is only 5% of your RL income. And in some cases that extra 5% make a big difference. I realize most here can't understand that.
I believe that you are mistaken about most here not undstanding about supplementing an RL income. I imagine that everyobe understands it. But it's far from the point. The point is that, if SL prices matched RL prices, then shopping would plummet to be relatively negligable, and the SL population (those who actually continued in such circumstances) would hardly buy anything at all, and the majority of businesses would be a great deal worse off.
The OP's idea seems to want real businesses for real wages here in SL. But that isn't what SL has ever been about, even though a few have actually done it - I was one of them. One of the biggest beauties of SL is that anyone can start to create or entertain, and start a small hobby business - just for the fun of it.
Anyway, I think the whole thing is a silly idea

I didn't read the whole thread but, imo, the idea is nonsense.
SL is an enjoyable pastime, and often a hobby. Businesses in SL are hobby businesses, and time spent doing them is hobby time. Yes, a few people are successful enough in their hobby SL businesses to make RL livelihoods from them, and can even (usually foolishly) quit their RL jobs to pursue them, but that's only a very few people.
The result of matching up SL hobby-working time to RL livelihood-working time, and charging the equivalent of RL amounts for the labours, would be to kill off most of the spending in SL and, consequently, most of the SL businesses, imo.
Some exceptions would be doing things for other people, such as scripting and making meshes - things that take RL non-hobby time.
