"so, because i'm saying pokemon go is dangerous, you think that i also mean that everything released in dangerous. i love when people twist what i say into total nonsense. "
Didn't mean to imply that's what you meant. But you can't ban something simply because there's a very marginal risk of someone getting injured. I'm just saying the same logic applies elsewhere. Millions of people enjoy watching and playing contact sports like NFL and Rugby, yet people are at a very high risk of injury there, so should we ban it? No, because the enjoyment far outweighs the risk. Plenty of people enjoy drinking alcohol because it tastes great and it's an awesome experience, yet people are at risk of over-intoxication which can lead to plenty of dangerous scenarios, so should we ban it? No, because alcohol is awesome. The same logic applies to Pokemon Go.
"and this has nothing whatsoever to do with political correctness."
Political correctness says "we shouldn't let that thing happen because there's a chance someone might be offended/injured/marginalised/". Or "even though plenty of other people found that thing funny/amusing/enjoyable there's one person that doesn't like it, and one person not liking it is more important than a hundred people liking it, so we shouldn't let it happen".
Keep in mind, Skurn, I mean no personal offence or harm by any of my comments, I'm quite enjoying this debate, so I apologise if anything I've said has come across to mean the opposite.
