POPSAvatars and Second Life adultery: ~ ~ ~ ~ A tale of online cheating and real-world heartbreak~ ~ ~ ~ Kira and Rik, you see, don’t exist. They are avatars, online characters who were created by Kristen and Steve in Second Life, an internet fantasy world, where you can reinvent yourself and embark on the kind of adventures you’ve always dreamed of – including a WAG-style white wedding with 20ft train, and even, as we have seen today, the phenomenon of cyber-adultery. “Kira was everything I should have been,” says Kristen, who has a 12-year-old son. “Beautiful, blonde and slim. My real life was diabolical and I wanted an escape. In Second Life I could be who I wanted to be, and when I met Nik I was in control for the first time in years. I got my life back.” It gets even weirder once you realise that Kristen’s mother logged on to Second Life to see her “daughter” Kira wed Nik and that Steve’s mate was his best man, watching, all choked up, on the sidelines.

POPSObama Stiffs His Campaign Workers This is the same guy who lets his illegal alien aunt live in squalor in a Boston slum. Obama's army of freeloaders are going to be mighty disappointed when they find out they were sold a bill of goods by the Great Gas Bag.

POPSAn Actual McCain-Palin Robocall We have all heard about the mean-spirited and vicious robocalls the McCain-Palin campaign are inundating potential with in battleground states. But in case you have not actually heard one of these calls, here is your chance. And believe me, this is far from the worst of them.

POPSVotes and Nuts - the ACORN kind Let every vote count, is the Democratic Party's mantra these days. That slogan might better be: Let every vote count as often as we need to win. Such, at any rate, are the tactics of ACORN, Barack Obama's favorite "community organizers," and its Project Vote - of which, the Democratic presidential candidate has boasted, "I started working as the director . . . here in Chicago."

POPS"People have found other ways to be cooperative – without God." The study also points out that in today's world religion has no monopoly on kind and generous behaviour. In many findings, non-believers acted as prosocially as believers. The last several hundred years has seen the rise of non-religious institutional mechanisms that include effective policing, courts and social surveillance. Very interesting read, on the social function of god. maybe we can say that JC, Moses and the like are history social workers :)

POPSThe Debate "Moderator" Revealed I think the GOP should pull out of this debate unless the "moderator" is replaced. Can you imagine (I can) that her questions are already in the ZerObama camp and Hairplug Biden has been working on his responses to these specific questions? These dice are loaded and Sarah/GOP should not play.
