Pokemon Go Needs To Be Banned

[Independent voter]

We have to drive to town to play. I suffered many eyerolls from the gf.
I think she enjoyed getting out in the end.

No thank you, Orlong. I'd rather keep the game, since it is quite a bit of fun.

[Malfecto]

Even though it was a satire article, on the point of not shooting someone who is entering a house illegally:

If you are crawling through my window at 1 am, I will remove my gun from its lockbox and shoot you dead. You don't get a second chance when it comes to my family's safety. Alerting someone that is intruding into my home for an unknown reason is risking my life. I don't know why this is a hard concept for people to understand.

Uh.

Satire news site = it didn't actually happen. Kinda matters.

I actually corrected my post. Reading comp is obviously hard for some.

Me a SJW??? I never laughed so hard!

But you're acting like one, so I wouldn't laugh too hard.

Same here. I will not take a SINGLE chance. I don't care if its in the middle of the night or broad day light. If someone is trying to come into my home, I will verify its not a small child or family / friend. The others? I will let them open the window and get a foot in, then I am taking them down. Period.

"It doesnt matter if its a satire site. after looking through it more, i see it is."

That's the statement I'm contesting. It matters a great deal.

If you can't understand why satire sites being satire matter, you shouldn't speak of reading comp.

[Unholyground]

It should be banned until they release it in Canada so I can play it!

Download the APK and you can play it, unless you are on an inferior Iphone.

I just didn't correct out the first part. I see that its satire. So i disregarded it. It still doesn't detract from the negativity the game brings. Do you honestly think this game won't lead to the things the owner of that site poked fun at?

I can't find a Scyther anywhere.

As hilarious as these incidents are to read, I also agree it should be banned, but only on the basis that its a poopy POS mobile phone game and people should be playing the real games instead.

Ah, okay. That you were disregarding was unclear.

And maybe? But so will using the phone for other things, putting on makeup, reading a magazine, yelling at your kids in the backseat, sudden inspiration, a ball or other toy going into the street, someone calling a kid's name, protecting the ducks crossing the street and a myriad of other things that have existed and will continue to exist that makes people to dumb things and get killed. Again: it's a "people are morons" issue.

I could really care less about the game. I think its a masterful stroke by Nintendo. Its brilliant. Its just dangerous and the game has been out less than a week and already people getting shot, robbed, killed, and causing massive pileups on interstates. Its out of hand for something that has been out not even a week.

Not everyone is a reasonable human being. This world would be vastly different if they were.

Ask yourself what would you do if its 1 am and someone is trying to come in your home at 1am for whatever reason? Are you going to take the chance by asking them to please leave or are you going to protect you and yours?

So what, people are stupid... and they do stupid things. That's not an excuse to restrict and ban a game.

I'd ask them what they think they're doing. Depending on their response I'd either ask if they need help, or call the police, or bonk them on head with a large bat. Preferably in that order.

Let's use the gun retoric. Guns are not the problem but the people behind it are. Guns don't kill people but people do.

Pokemon go doesn't encourage trespassing unless you are entirely stupid person (especially in the USA).

[Iamanerd]

It is seriously impressive that every discussion involving the US devolves into right vs left, guns vs no guns, on this forum.

Agreed, as someone who lives in the US it'd downright annoying to watch how both sides go at it. I wonder if any of the people and the right and left realize they are part of the problem right now in this country. But no they blame Obama or something else fucking stupid, how about both sides quits blaming each other and starts working together on issues. Regardless you summed it up quite well.

I have a feeling this years Darwin awards are going to be something special.

Should have known this would be an Orlong thread.

Gotta love how he's all about freedom and liberty, unless its something he doesn't like, and then it has to be banned and made illegal. Come on Orlong, be honest with yourself and just declare yourself the fascist that you are.

[HatsHatsHats]

ban dangerous things? not in my america!

It's Orlong. What else would you expect?
