Human sillyness

Nothing changes while the way in which we express humanity changes

In French there is a saying: “Plus ça change plus c’est la même chose”. The more things change the more they are the same.

We can sometimes be extremely contradictory between our stated intent and our behavior.

I’ve got two examples about this human sillyness. One is in the real world and the other one is ‘in-world’, in Second Life.

In Second Life there is a Second Life Liberation Army. Here is what SLLA stands for:

The SLLA’s demands are simple:

The establishment of basic political ‘rights’ for avatars within Second Life
Campaign:

The SLLA will not seek to harm the normal operation of the world.

Here is a video on what they did to Reebok’s store through a script attack [thanks Martin for links and explanation].

In the name of protecting the rights of Avatars they just wiped out a number!

Sounds familiar as human sillyness goes, doesn’t it.

“Prolife: Helping moms, saving babies, ending abortion”

and here is how it is done.

We are a strange bunch.
