Pokémon GO should be BANNED!!
Althouh I am traditionally an avid gamer, and I don't normally call for banning games, I believe the authorities have a fairly decent case for banning Pokémon Go.

Pokémon Go is a real security risk in a whole host of issues. It is risky for drivers when they drive, it is risky for pedestrians when they walk, it has alrady caused numerous deaths from people falling off cliffs, and there are now reports of people getting hurt in stampedes because of the game.

From the legal point of view, the government can ban all sorts of things that pose a risk to security, even if it's only a small risk. This is why it would not be against the law (or the constitution) to ban that game.

This isn't like Grand Theft Auto where the only problem is virtual violence. This Pokémon game causes real violence in the form of people getting hurt by bumping into cars or people in crowded city streets.

Therefore, you could argue that it is a better candidate for being banned than any other video game.

Re: Pokémon GO should be BANNED!!
You think the government would ban something because it causes deaths? See tobacco.
You're more likely to see the government promote this game even more through the MSM. This game is the greatest thing in a long while in their eyes, just look on social media since it came out; The iZombie epidemic is at its peak.. Now no one cares about ANYTHING other than Pokemon.

If the govt bans Pokemon Go, they will have a real revolution on their hands. People will legitimately rise up against the government if they take away their stupid Pokemon.

You're ridiculous and you have unreasonable expectations.

Augmented reality is here. Deal with it or ban all technology.

Also, anyone who blindly follows an electronic thru the streets deserves what they get. The same dipshits died in droves when they released the walkman with headphones.

With the human population increasing exponentially, why the fuck would you insist we coddle the dipshits?

Better strap the whole population to beds and hook in the IV lines, some dipshit might wander over a cliff somewhere if we don't.

I'm no genius but I managed to not get myself killed or hurt from this game. As with most anything else it's stupidity that should be banned.

It was only a matter of time before they began something like this. Soon it will be VR glasses, in real time, literally seeing little anime characters, or people in real time. It's not quite the holodeck yet, but getting there.

Better to ban the idiots who play the game. It's called being responsible for your own actions. Bunch of morans.

Here is a simple plan. Gather all the assholes who play Pokemon GO in a lager and exterminate them. No more assholes for this generation. Repeat for every new generation. Planet saved.

A relative told me of this happening last Wednesday:

He works on a Navy base. They all had to wait outside of the base because an Arab was found on base. The government's official story was a non-national was looking for Pokemon Go at 6am, on government secured property.

NO, even non-national spouses of employees have trouble getting clearance to get in. You can't just wander in. That's why he was so perplexed at the official story.

Re: Pokémon GO should be BANNED!!
Since spirit is basically electricity.

Ptb create a game called pokemon go.

Everyone runs around madly rounding them up and storing them on their phones.

Once they are all rounded up...and critical mass is achieved...


They are ACTIVATED....and everyone who had these things lurking in their phones suddenly becomes possessed by these demons of battle.

And the second seal breaks...the signal is given..and all those people suddely turn on eachother....and kill and kill and kill.

The second seal...everyone against everyone...killing eachother.

Thats the second seal.

One fourth of mankind kills eachother.
