It is a 14 month old 15" Powerbook Pro. 2GHz dual core pentium, ATI X1660 graphics.

wow, you really don't know much about your computer do ya? No such thing as a Powerbook Pro, everything with the Powerbook name was PPC, no intels.. and the only Mac ever made with a Pentium chip in it was a developer model never sold to the general public.... also isnt an ATI X1660 around anywhere.

I'm guessing you have a 15" Macbook Pro with a Core Duo (maybe a Core 2 Duo) 2ghz processor with a ATI X1600.

Dutch demand ban of virtual child porn in Second Life

Chad

what about murder?

if consenting adults roleplaying ageplay is illegal... shouldnt people roleplaying murder, or any virtual killing, be held responsible too?

I think some people here are missing the point. They are just trying to stop the physical representation of child sex. Its illegal in their country, so they want to stop it. They didnt say its wrong for people to ageplay, or roleplaying in general, or even thinking about it... (as its done in real life, not just online), just making graphical representations of children involved in sexual acts is not legal (for the Dutch).

I have seen it in second life, and i do find it quite disturbing... not sure who finds it stimulating to make their (very detailed) avatars do sex acts as, or with children. Most every adult sexual place bans the use of child looking avatars in sexual acts. The problem is there is no set child avatar, or adult, or anything... you can make your avatar look like anything at all that you can think of (or have enough skill to make).

I do not understand how people can think this is a "training ground." because of cartoony looks? You arent learning anything about how to get involved with children, no matter how someone is roleplaying. Thats like saying people use GTA to learn how to kill and steal cars for their life of crime... or saying they want to go out and kill people and steal things just because they did it in a video game.
