Not a very safe (and sane) idea just to prove a point xD
safe? meh who cares, I really have nothing to lose so if one of the idiots playing the stupid game while driving happen to kill me, no big loss. but if they don't kill me I im going to be a very very rich man.

I'm told Discovery Park here where I live has about 15 pokeystops. Im thinking it might just be worth the admission price just to get to walk around and farm pokeyballs

That's interesting, how this has been affecting local businesses.

There's a little bar/grill near my place that's a pokestop that gives a % discount off your meal if you can show you caught a pokemon inside the location.

My goodness! I just read a blog where a Christian woman says that an ex-witchdoctor turned Christian told her that Pokemon are cartoon versions of real demons and their attributes. (But her beginning premise really seems to be nothing more than 'ugly cartoons' = evil). There are other Christians who are using a false story from Time magazine (in which the creator is interviewed) to confirm this 'truth' that he created Pokemon to rebel against his Christian parents by promoting the occult and other nature worship. But it's a load of bollocks. Read the interview yourself and you'll find the creator created Pokemon because he loved insects and wanted to instill imagination and wonder in children. And he didn't have Christian parents and abhors violence.

I'm not here to convince anyone that Pokemon is good. I'm just saying we need to be careful that as Christians we promote the truth in all circumstances. Otherwise, we're lying and masking our lies as godly discernment. And that's not on.

It's funny yesterday we found out our church is a Pokestop . We walked down and I went in to talk to my friend who is the Secretary. We both agreed that we should advertise this on the sign, but they have to join if they want to catch something.

Our Courthouse has two monuments within a few yards of each other both of which are Pokestops, so you can sit on the bench and hit both of them.

You can't sue a game developer for a player's negligence.

if we can sue a gun manufacture for some idiot being stupid with a gun, then I can sue a game maker for distracting an idiot causing damage.

Only you can't do that.... but even if you did, they have already grossed over six billion. Your law suit won't phase them.

Who cares what they have made off suckers if you get a few million out of it?
