Addiction: Pokémon GO

This is what Pokémon GO Inventors will tell you, but what is not mentioned here is the fact that it can cause an addiction that could get your child hurt or even killed.

 Now’s your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around you—so get your shoes on, step outside, and explore the world. You’ll join one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon at your side. (Niantic, Inc. Google Play, app descript.)
The game of Pokémon GO game works on a typical Smartphone and is designed to get your child to go outside and while looking at your smartphone using the phones camera and GPS data will superimpose a Pokémon creature on your smartphone and then you battle these creatures till they are worn down to be put into small containers. Then these captive animals are only released to fight other captive animals and whichever child’s Pokémon beats up the other child’s Pokémon gets personal glory and fame. Children learn as much from Pokémon as they would from watching a good cockfight.
The typical adult says that this is just a passing fad that what harm could come from this game called Pokémon. Other things or myths that adults think the game offers that children will learn how to use technology and expose them to computers. Some adults think that their children would learn morals about work, dedication, and love. Nothing could be further from the truth.
            There are ways to tell if your child is addicted to this game and intervention is necessary by a professional psychotherapist to bring your child back to reality. There are reports and news articles from around the country where children are walking into traffic and getting hit by cars never looking up from their phone and there has been kidnappings because the criminal knows where the child will be just by loading the same game on their smartphone. There are other minor issues with the game stemming from these battles that kids take on kids and it can cause a real fight, which can give a juvenile a criminal record that follows them around for life.
            There are safe ways to play the game and keep it healthy for kids to play. The best part of the game is the physical exercise that a child will get running around town to find their monsters, but children should do this in pairs.  The parents should set time limits and location limits to keep the child in well-known areas and safe distance from his or her house. There is an app that tracks your child in real-time is a very good idea.

            Games are fun to play and are never intended to get someone hurt, but in this day and age is it wise to look at all that could happen to keep everyone safe and happy.

Breaking News President Obama caught lying to American people.  Author: Thomas Fry 7/22/2016 12:57  The Iran deal was just a smokescreen to make people think that he really cared about the American People.  As you know that the President made a big deal about the Iran deal to stop them from making nuclear weapons, come to find out that all of the that deal was just a smokescreen. He told the american public that we would snap-back the sanctions if Iran violated the agreement and of course Iran violated the agreement with the firing of 4 rockets test. Iran still shouting death to America and death to Israel and our President went and gave Iran all their money back by executive order without telling American public.

Survival with pets and how to determine if you can or should keep your pet. Thomas Fry 8/15/2016 15:39 If you think about it survival is taking a minimal amount of equipment to survive a very bad situation. I always keep that in the back of my mind when making purchases in my everyday life, how will this help if I have to survive a situation. This thought pattern has changed the way I go thru life, while watching all the things that are going on in the world today. i live in Florida in the center part of Florida so I need to keep in mind that the state is long and narrow and can be affected from both sides as far as storms are concerned. I also looked up on the national nuclear database to get a possible places that a nuclear bomb might hit, and fortunately I am not in a city that FEMA says is going to be struct in a WW3 situation. You might ask what does all this have to do with pets, I will tell you. I have a cat, she is a lb tri-coat tabby that I am fond of and she has her own b...
