Virtual Reality VS Reality

I was playing this online game (for want of a better word) named "Second Life". Someone accidentally bumped into me and a message popped up asking me if I wanted to report him.

My question is this: Why the hell should I care if someone virtually bumps into me?

Second Question: If you can't do what you want to do in a virtual reality then what is the point of it?

I go to the internet to avoid reality not to make another oppressive world like the one that exists when I turn off the computer.

I have come to believe that the internet is full of oppressive places. Just look at some forums that are populated by power hungry adolescents constantly calling wach other names.

A lot of sites are like walking into the middle of a street gang war zone...

Next time somebody bumps into you, kill him off. He has a "Second Life" doesn't he?

You can not kill anyone, only bump into them.
Much like real life. There is no point to it.
