IT ISN'T FAIR!

An Editorial by StellaStarr Soderstrom

Has this ever happened to you?

You need to make a few Lindens to upload a texture or buy a present for your mommie, daddie or a friend. You go somewhere that kids can camp safely like Playtime or Cutie Patootie. But when you finally get to that camping rug or bench, there's no room for you to park yourself for a while. GROWNUPS are taking up ALLLLL the camping spots, and you can't make any moneys!!!!

So, you go to another camping place...and another...and another. Kid at Heart Mall...Angelina's Little Girls Clothes...MAW. The scene's the same there, and There, and THERE. Big people hogging all the spaces, and some don't even look human...they're zombie-like avis who look really gross and are keeping you from making any moneys!

It's not fair!!! It's hard for a kid to make moneys in SL. Camping is just about the only way if you're not a model, a teacher or a shopkeeper. We can't camp just anywhere...we have to make sure it's a place where there's no bad stuffs and/or grownups won't be mean. And when these older peoples take spots at stores that cater to US, SL kids, well...that's just plain wrong!

One solution could be to only allow camping by members of a group that you'd have to join. Some adults could sneak in, but the group administrator can check profiles to make sure that only child avis could stay in the group. One bad thing about that is that most of us are maxxed out on our groups already, especially those of us who own stores in several places!

In the meantime, I have one piece of advice for the grownups who are taking our camping spots:

GET A JOB!!!!
