Are Furries Doomed?

Fallout from enforcing bans on “Broadly Offensive” behavior may threaten furry avatars
by Cinnamon Twist, spicy reporter
Can furries yiff without being offensive?
Great Britain had many rules on the books for many years that it didn’t enforce in the American colonies. They were there, sure, but they were largely ignored. When Britain started to enforce rules in order to make the colonies more profitable, the colonists rebelled. Is this the fate of Second Life’s residents with regard to the notorious “broadly offensive” clause in the TOS?
In a recent article by the Herald’s award winning syndicated advice columnist Heartun Breaker, a reader asked Where do I find animals in Second Life who want to play animals… and play with me as I am?
The answer brings us to a string of even more interesting questions – some not which could be not safe for work.
Where do I find animals in Second Life who want to play animals… and play with me as I am?
The answer to that is, of course, everywhere one looks in Second Life. As the Lindens look to clean up the “broadly offensive” behavior that has been allowed to grow and develop unchecked since 2003, one of the many questions that will surely be raised involves the line between Furries and bestiality.
mounting evidence of virtual bestiality?
Most Furries in Second Life have adopted the classic “anthropomorphic” animal, like a cartoon animal. The Lindens even offer such an avatar as one of the basic shapes you can choose when you are born in Second Life. If one uses such an avatar, and one has sexual congress with another avatar, either human or furry, is that bestiality?
straw poll indicates some SL players will cross species boundaries
More to the point of the original question posed, what if someone looks for an avatar that looks less like a cartoon and more like a real animal? With some shopping, one can find avatars that will turn one into an anatomically correct dog or horse. Having sex with one of these creatures for real in many US states and foreign countries is a crime. Certainly many people find the idea of coupling with a dog or horse to be offensive. Will these avatars soon be banned? Can we logically assume that if the realistic animal costumes are banned then a case can be made to ban all furries in order to avoid the “gray area” that would ensue should the Lindens choose to ban “realistic” animal avatars?
In many shops, people are able to buy animal props, with poses and animations, that allow them to simulate sex with dogs and horses. These “animals,” though they look realistic enough, are merely sexual props; no more real than a ‘dildo’ or a sexual pose ball. Having sex with animals, or appearing to have sex with animals, however, is far more offensive than using traditional sex toys, so do they need to be banned? If so, how do we differentiate them from the other sex toys?
Where will the community draw the line with regard to “broadly offensive”? Will dildos, sexgen beds and Furries soon be a thing of the past?

When the one who made all that we did not make including eternity,and all the life in eternity comes back in glory will burn all things that die, and all things that man has made. Appliances don’t have a soul, sorry about that. Calculators will melt with fervent heat,and will be turned tack to the basic elements,and all things will be made new,and we will shine with light as a covering like we were means to shine,and give glory to God forever for saving us. God is in the furry,and those that are persecuted . Poor basement cat, he needs to have sunlight, bring him out of the basement. Evidence of man is what he makes,and evidence of God is what he made,and man cannot make,and what man cannot make is infinite,and what God has made is infinite because God is infinite. The destruction of all things man made,and what dies is perceived by the wicked as being the wrath of God. The wrath of God is only perceived as such by the ones who refused his love by not showing his love to others. Not showing that love to others means his protective spirit is not in whoever to protect the spirit of whoever from the light that will shine.What we know of as hateful trolls,and humans who kill, steal,and are drunkards,and compulsive liars will not be in the kingdom of God,and I think you can see why. God has refrained from shining his light because of the deplorable condition of man fighting, and killing each other,Judging each other as in the legal system that humans have doing to each other what humans did to Jesus putting him on the cross. God wants to save as many as he can,and show Satan that lightless beings that kill life, and crush life with their solid bodies with blood in it can love like he loves.

You would not want the same thing done to you human who kills all the good gifts God gives your corruptible body that dies, and makes a good for nothing smelly substance. Judge yourself,and you will not be condemned forbidden to go a place of eternal peace,and joy. Do bad to others,and only expect to having the agony of knowing your body,and soul will n be reduced to ashes where life has no power.

@Jonathan, I is a Gawd-fearin’ feller fo’ good reason, as Herald readers knows, and I knows where I are bound: the Hot Place. Ol’ Jonathan called it like it am for poor me: “humans who kill, steal,and are drunkards,and compulsive liars will not be in the kingdom of God.”
I reckons ol’ Billyzbug needs him a Shiner down there to make rotgut for all them other drunkards. And all the fun folks will be there anysohow.
I do recollect they were one page left in the Enoch Famberly Bible that did not get used up in the out-house:
“Judge not if’n you don’t want to be judged.”
Well, since I are judged all the time, mostly (and correct-like) as a dumb-ass, I reckons I kin judge you:
You am a holy-rollin’ moron and stay the hell out from in front o’ my pickemup truck less’n you wants to meet God rite fast, you rascal.
Well, that felt good. Back to drinkin’, fornycatin’, and bein’ a dumb ass.

You are funny talking like a Southerner^^You have a good humble spirit,and will not go to dust body, and soul for that is hell for the one who does not love like Jesus loves.
Hell is not a place anyone should want to go to,and in heaven no one will be stumbling around constantly apologizing for doing stupid things being inebriated. Can you see something like that in a perfect heaven?
We should at least try,and not to be. God is after all the discerner of the heart,and have a good heart,and the life giver will be in you anyway.
There is righteous judgment that Judges the heart,and that judgment edifys,and lifts humans up,and does no harm to humans at all.
You would not run anyone over.
Ultimately God is the one that judges,and the ones safe is the one with the spirit of Jesus in whoever looking out of the eyes of whoever.
Things must be boring for you where you are.I don’t drink at all.
Maybe I just don’t know the attraction to alcohol is. I was never a drinker of it., and I am 55. I see no reason for it personally. Some thing that might help is going to http://www.upcspine.com,and find a U,C,S, chiropractic practitioner. They are the good kind.

@ Jonathan Hughes
Religion (and the bastardized version of Christianity that oozes out of your own mouth) is bullshit. I think love is great, but whatever you’re trying to prove isn’t something I’m interested in (which I doubt anyone else has understood so far either, since your posts seem to be written by someone with a severe mental disorder).
Jonathan Hughes
Mar 22nd, 2011
Pappy Enoch ,I guess you are proving what a drunkard will do,and that is a stupid thing that would not want to be done to you.
Consider what I said. Humans like you are the reason Jesus came to die for you so you would love like he does.
Wanting to harm is not like Jesus. Do you want life eternal where all love all?

You are here,and this planet,and without Jesus that life you see would not be here,and had Jesus been worshiped instead of a flag this nation would be peaceful,and not a warmongering nation like it is now calling its self a nation under God. Jesus is love,and hatred is the devil in humans that are called trolls. Simply, put we make dead things,and will be apposed to the one who made living things,and that is the basses for your negativity. toward Jesus.
I know one thing for sure have humans not safe for eternity going on on on like this,and the sun that warms the earth will vaporize everyone.
We all had better love like Jesus loved having him in us so he can come back in glory or our our end will be predictable for the human race. What is your choice take the gamble; that love is eternal,and save your soul or continue thinking the wide road of destruction is good preventing Christs return because he does not see humans safe to live in peace forever,and end in creation doomed to die in a burnt out sun?

So you can’t prove Jesus existed then?
Oh and I’m not negative towards Jesus. How can I be negative towards someone or something that never existed? It’s just a bogeyman story to scare kids into doing as they’re told. “Eat all your vegetables or Jesus won’t let you into Heaven”.
The only thing that can be proven is the existence of Basement Cat.

@ Jonathan Hughes
So my landscaper (whose name is Jesus) is the reason life exists. Additionally, had he been worshiped instead of the sovereignty and pride of the nation we live in, world peace would manifest itself out of thin air. He’s also love (even though it’s questionable as to whether or not he has ever made love) and trolls are actually humans with tiny demons inside of them, who manufacture and package hatred. However, we are supposed to make life (which we do, at a very rapid rate which is literally suffocating the human race) but instead, we are making death (at a relatively slow pace, which doesn’t balance out the overpopulation problem we have) – and because of all of this, we hate my landscaper.
He does shit work, anyways. The only miracle here is that he’s not fired yet.
Anyhow, yes, the sun will eventually explode once its core runs out of fuel, but we have a couple of years before that happens (something around 5 billion).
But if we all love my landscaper, despite his terrible work, he will return to my backyard to save the human race in an entirely predictable event, of which we don’t actually know the specifics nor the date and time. Far more predictable than the sun developing into a red giant due to running out of hydrogen, thus enveloping the earth in a ball of flaming gas in approximately 5 billion years.
Sure thing, Jon.

Jesus is 100% love,and not against any of the sexualities at all so you can relax about that.When he is in a human in spirit that is what you will get.There are humans that think Christianity is in the established organized religions,and they are wrong for they do not teach of Christ,and had they war,and terrorists would be unknown.
Your stories are a lie from the ones preaching in the E,O,R,.Hell is a favorite topic of devils.Heaven, and eternal Joy is for those that love all,and Jesus in you does it all so therefore no worries.
hell is for those that ought you the lie,and do not repent. Hell will be the end of the soul where life has no power. Love all doing good to whoever,and have no worries what so ever. He will never leave or forsake you.
Love all ,and Jesus will be in you looking out of you no matter what you say.

Fie, fie, you brood of vipers! Though I pen this missive from the jailhouse-hell into which I was unjustly thrown by the rough and corrupt winds of earthy justice, the Lord God will have his retribution upon you purveyors of smut and wantonness in Second Life.
Oh, woe and despair!
Hold true to the star to which you have hitched your wagon, young Jonathan! These heathens will learn the true meaning of repentance on the Day of Reckoning, when they shall be cast naked and burned to a crisp into the smoldering Belly of The Prince of Lies!
Oh, on that blessed day, when the Lord God skewers them with his flaming sword, pokes out their eyes with divine cocktail-forks, marinades them in the sauce of bitter tears, and broils them as unclean kebabs over the Charcoal That Never Goes Out, how they ALL shall be punished for their vile laughter, their fornication, and, verily, their bad taste in decor!
I do hope, my Brother in the Living God, Jonatan, that you can help a poor unfortunate lamb who has been imprisoned, aye, imprisoned for crimes she did not commit! I will send you additional information on paying for my legal appeals if you will be reach out to me. I will accept cash, cheques, PayPal, or lines of credit for meeting the outstanding and future fees of my barrister, Tertullian Blatherskate.
Do not send Linden Dollars, for the foul hands of the Evil One are upon them.

You still haven’t proven Jesus’ existence. I mean, shit, I believe the guy existed, but he wasn’t a savior by any stretch of the imagination. All you do is spew religious bullshit about how Jesus Saves.
I could get your sentiment from a bumper sticker.
Stop clogging my inbox with your pointless vocal diarrhea. You’re not converting anyone to your dying, bullshit religion. Go pray to your almighty savior and leave us in peace.
