Re: OT: Living a virtual life

I see a "ripped from the headlines" story line for Law & Order.

Some people just need to take a vacation in the real world.

Crimoney - I thought *I* spent too much time on the internet. I simply
cannot imagine spending real money for virtual "real estate" and
goods, nor can I imagine getting so worked up over a virtual world
that I'd go out and blow up virtual locations. Although I suppose if
someone is going to get that upset over things, I'd rather they do it
in a virtual existence than the real one! Still - how long will it be
before someone decides anyone who would commit acts of violence in a
virtual world might represent an actual threat in the real world?

Maybe there are some virtual psychiatrists who can help these people.
