LOL The game SIMS itself, is nothing like these virtual worlds I'm speaking of, thank goodness!! SIMS is completely innocent and not as advanced by a long shot![]()
NASA plays? Oh there's my tax dollars at work.
Ok....this Second Life game. It sounds like with so much going on in it, you would have to be "pretty sharp" to play it and keep up right?
That amount of money can be sent directly to someone via a virtual world environment online. I kid you NOT. Some people pay upwards of $2000 US per month PER SIM--for their Sims (property) and many own 100's of sims... just to give an idea. People "playing" around in there are people that have money to burn. It's not a cheap hobby.

And all the transactions are done via the Virtual World platform and can be transferred directly to your PayPal account...
I'm pretty computer savy and up to date on a lot of the latest and greatest but have never heard of these SIMS like this before.
Question : Would it be possible / likely that someone could pay someone for sexual favors in the SIM?
I have seen it transcribed both different ways depending on the news source. there was the OZ newsource provided I think by darnudes or maybe puddn in last nights thread (I think #16) in their transcription the word is OUT.
Not being argumentative, just saying, we never resolved that one. We do not know if the transcription was done by media personnel or by LE prior to providing tapes to media. I am betting they provided tapes, each news source transcribed it themselves and therefore, the difference.
O/T sort of-the dude who gave her the money must be thrilled to find himself in the middle of a homicide investigation.

Great... I go to bed every night worried to h*ll and back that J's job will go POOF because NASA is cutting back jobs and contracts, yet they have money to waste on that crap.
I still don't get paying big money to play a game online... it's money wasted on nothing. Literally... it's nothing... just expensive bits and bytes. Might as well stand out back in your yard and burn dollar bill after dollar bill... it makes just about the same sense.
Zahra's case just may be a product of a trend we started seeing a couple of years ago: parents putting more time and money into online gaming, neglecting/abusing their children to the point death/murder.
if the answer to that question is yes, we really need to rethink this net thing......lmao. And besides, just like real life...i'm sure there are avatar's willing to give it away.

Haven't caught up with the whole thread so apologies if this has already been answered...
"We only see her when she comes out......when she wants something."MrsG and I talked about this before and it sounded to us like he was going to say something different, "She only comes out....(then changed his mind) and said "when she wants something"
I thought he might have been going to say "She only comes out.....to eat"
Blow money on my second life while my real life goes to h*ll in a handbasket, yeah, I'm gonna have to run out and check that out (not).
I feel really old right now.
