If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
really, stupid dangerous duckers should just be banned from existence, but no one has the power of the purge yet to save us which is unfortunate.
the comparison to alcohol was good, but we know that can't be banned effectively. pokemon go could. you just yank it from the app store/force the servers down. somewhere down the line, someone could start it up again with their own server, but whatever. alcohol also doesn't appear to be truly fun, it's just that drunks throw away their original personality because they believe they're better when they've been lowered a few pegs by it. kinda sad, really.
a good step would be to stop handing out drivers licenses so easily, but the stupidity of humanity is a pretty boundless pool of ass. there's always that duckhead who drives without a license because that's totally going to go down well with everyone. plus, i guess that could be compared to the ban on guns only benefiting the government and regular low tier generic thugs and whatever. maybe, but it is true that it's too easy for everyone to get a hold of this shit. not guns anymore, though. that's being taken too far. where's the age of stealing tanks from military bases? i haven't heard of that yet, somehow.
With Pokemon Go (as with drinking), I think there are plenty of morons who would look for Pokemon and drive at the same time. Since this game requires a GPS unit, why don't the developer's just make the game go into some kind of sleep mode while you are moving faster than a human can normally move?
yes. this. like, "if you are moving too fast, pokemon will flee from you on sight." is there a position in the gaming industry where the devs can come to you and ask if something's stupid and how to fix it? i wouldn't imagine so for the larger ones who ignore their qa team, but this shit is just so easy. i'd also say to only allow them at 7am to 7pm so you're not wandering around at night or super early and to limit the places where pokemon spawn by a hell of a lot. it uses google maps, so why not filter it to just places where there would be a lot of people walking around already - landmarks, towns of a certain size, whatever. that would definitely reduce the crime rate. you'd have to be a pretty amateur robber or murderer to commit your crime in clear view of several witnesses.
