"not true, because many other things have been hugely popular but none of them dangerous because they don't make you go all over the place at all times of the day and night to accomplish anything."
On a revolutionary scale such as this in the modern day world? Not to mention the game doesn't make you go anywhere at "all times of the day and night". It's still not confirmed that you can only find certain pokemon at night. Hell I caught a ghastly in the middle of the park at 2 o'clock in the afternoon two days ago.
"it's honestly better if this "game" is banned. even innocent people who don't play it will probably be eventually victimized by some idiot paying zero attention, then once someone decides to sue, it's all over anyways."
Innocent people are victimized every day. Look at the traffic these days. It's the world we live in. Banning something simply because it's another possible vessel to someone getting hurt is over the top political correctness.
"in my state along, two assholes fell off a cliff playing it. a cliff. i don't even know how that can happen."
This is called Natural Selection.
"there was a stabbing in of the 3 towns i know of. not just that, but a stabbing involving several people. "
Something else that happens every day across the whole world, regardless of Pokemon Go. People will always find a reason to stab/murder.
"ever since this app has existed, the world has been less safe. that's pretty much fact. other countries have put rules and possibly even laws in place to try and combat these issues. "
Ever since <insert almost anything here> has existed, the world has also been less safe.
"honestly, if this game even tried to prevent this shit, it wouldn't really be much of an issue. the only thing it has is a "pay attention" warning upon starting it. but that's not there to prevent accidents - that's there to try and avoid getting sued. if the devs really cared to make playing this shit safe, pokemon would be limited to around 7am to 7pm and it would be locked to only cities of a certain population. but instead, we have shitheads going on in the middle of the night to look for these things without paying attention."
What about people who work between 7am and 7pm? They aren't allowed to play? Plus wouldn't it be safer for everyone else if we played in the middle of the night? Because there's less people out on the streets for us to blindly walk in to?
"the negatives far outweigh the "good". the "good" just being a generalizing "nerds are now getting exercise lul.""
What about the Mums and Dads finally finding a great way to connect with their kids--going for walks and playing Pokemon together? What about the friendships being formed over this game? What about the real life sense of camaraderie people are experiencing after strategising and capturing gyms? What about all the small businesses and food shops in Pokemon hot spots that are thriving from the increased activity? Your negatives are all broad generalisations taken from a minority group of players.
