Pokemon Go! as a nuisance to other outdoor activities

Yes, a wee bit of my bombast is tongue in cheek.

The majority of the defenders of the Poke people make me chortle, as many of them sounds like 12 year olds whining "MawwwwwwM, I don't get to have any fun." - bottom lip protuding.

However, when you read of Carlsons ugly run in with these cretins and other poke people negative stories, I find the defense of the poke people rather jaundiced...

Like I said there is nothing else to be said about the childush game. "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."

Carlson - I've got to take you to task here too. The only thing childish is the quote. Video games or those who enjoy them come from all walks of life, and just because you don't partake does not make them childish. This type of mentality to me feels much the same as those in the Anti-2A group that equate all gun owners as gun nuts because they don't like guns so why should anyone else.

Apples to oranges. We will agree to disagree. I have personally seen the damage done by the adolescents. I have spoken to several Law Enforcment administrators of the problems they cause in there Cities and Counties.

Anyone is allowed to stick their head in the sand if they so choose. Those who do are usually attached to the "game."

Reading the thread I am thankful I am not the only one who sees this as a nuisance and sometimes criminal.

I have said all I need to on this subject.

It is not apples to oranges.... have you seen the damage caused by guns? Have you spoken to several law enforcement administrators of the problems that guns have caused in their cities and counties?

Just because a few idiots out of the millions of players cause an issue, you shouldn't blame the game, or all the players. Put the blame where it belongs.. on those few individuals.

...ah, that would be 'quite' a few individuals or we wouldn't be hearing about the number and details of preventable incidents these knuckleheads perpetrate.

Defend all you care to (who ever you may be) the problems "the few, the proud, the knuckleheads) perpetrate isn't a small number.

And Goosey Goose, I know you're going to ask: What's the number? Here it is: Legion

1) Goosey Gose. Name call much? Kind of like a 12 year old? You seem to be taking this much more personally than the "defenders" you attempt to belittle. I'll take the maturity displayed by the defenders I've seen in this thread over the name callers and vague posters.

2) I don't see a link. Please tell us about the legions of issues that have arisen. And then you can call more names when we compare those numbers to gun crimes.

I play video games. I never really liked Pokemon go but I don't have a problem with it. Not liking Pokemon Go because of the people who are out committing crimes while using it sound similar to the people who dont like guns because of the criminals who use them.

I am not defending the actions of the people who are trespassing, etc... I just don't place the blame on the game, but those certain individuals. Just like I don't blame all gun owners when there is a mass shooting.

Is it Ford's fault when some idiot leaves his baby in the backseat of the car to die in the summer heat? Are you, and other gun owners, to blame for the shooting of 5 police officers in Dallas? Or are we to blame the rifle?

Compared to the number of Pokemon Go players, you have heard about a very few incidents. I've seen estimates of between 15 and 21 million players in the US alone... so statistically, the few reported incidents are insignificant in number.
