Nazi's, soldiers doing the killing in war , murderers etc are prime examples of dehumanization of the "outsider". This kind of brutal line and sometimes blurry line of us vs them or insiders vs outsiders is evident in real lives of normal person as well. Being animal lover yet devouring veal diner, yelling at a maid who is our mothers age or spending time online instead of woking 😛 requires temporary disconnect or suspension of morals. The rules we know, even the ones we intuitively feel, are by no means the rules we always follow.😊

Merely being equipped with moral values does not mean we practice moral behavior always , we need to resist the temptation to fall off the wagon when no one is watching.😃

Terrific quote and veri good last statement....

Now I think the next Q coming is about army men who kill humans yet volunteer for PETA or other organization...in their home town.. how disconnected can people get on discussions...😉😆

and discontented too ..😆 bmw types ..bitching , moaning and whining.😉 who must be so insignificant and have no voice or audience in rl , lash out in uncontrollable insane jealousy in vl and in all that rambling end up divulging their mental afflictions. 😛

Whether Rl or Vl, best time to know about the person is when he/she is in anger. There are only few people who can keep their cool and control their anger effectively . 😊

lol, true again.😆 and then we shld also see what they say or do, the kind of underhanded tactics they employ and the personal drivel they get into. not saying anyone here does that. of course.😊

right! dont u just hate those types? 😆but to be fair to them, the whiners are still better than the folks who feel the need to hide behind anonymous identities and gang up on others. after all, the whiners are just playing by the rules. and if we didnt have rules, we can all be throwing words around at each other. doesnt take much evolution to be able to do so.😊

let's try this again. 😊 the topic is asking for views on whether the virtual world is more real than presumably the real world. now if we can find whiners, disconnected people, bitching, angry people as LH/ qwerty/ morning-dew have said, and if we find people who "embellish resumes" as LH said early on in this thread, then dont we also find intellectually dishonest people, people who run around behind fake identities, people who cant say much without getting down to personal drivel, and others who find their voice only when they can round up cronies? arent these wonderfully enriching facets of VL too? or do VL experiences only come in nice cutteee hottt roxxx bundles? 😊

am surprised that anyone shld take this so personally. question has been posed quite generally😊
