I was just reading a quick note related to the pokemon go craze. Authorities are beginning to say "enough is enough" in terms as to where and how pokemon go players can interact and capture these virtual creatures. (the story is here:http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/09/pokemon-go-church-russian-blogger-sokolovsky-faces-jail-term/)
It might seem over-challenging but I do believe that there is a place and a spot for everything. A real problem is that all the "how to" and "secrets of" the pokemon go series everywhere state that the best strategy is to be there in a location for at least 5 minutes and then pokemons will start to appear
While that might be true, staying in a single location for 2 hours is not only boring but also extenuating. People (specially young ones) will start to walk about, do other stuff with their phones or even with OTHER phones and electronics like the PSP or such. Doing this in the park is ok, but when other people are trying to enjoy a movie, tour a museum or even pray during their Faith's religions services is not only rude but can also incur in serious economical and legal problems.
I believe that the problems that the world society is having with events such as the pokemon go craze, just as the flash mobs and others is the perfect example of what happens when society is afraid to be "politically incorrect".
Like most "older adults" (when did adults became: young, middle and older??? anyway...) I was also raised with the guidelines to respect my elders, not to run in Church, Sit down when I go to the movies (and do not run about like a crazy person) and so on. Today's youth doesn't do that.
While there is no question that their adult years WILL be definitely troublesome and will have to fix the damage that we, our parents and our ancestors did with the world as they rammed through it seeking power and ritches, nothing will come from that adulthood if they are not taught the basics on ethics and moral.
Maybe Pokemon Go is a friend of the future because by being a foe of the present it is forcing today's power-weelding adults to make adjustments and control tomorrow's power weelding adults.

ATTACK ON TITAN....wtf??
As many of you I am sure, I finished -barely- watching "attack on Titan". I follow the manga on several of the many wonderful portable apps out there, still I haven't been able to actually read it... NONETHELESS, I follow it!
Maybe one day I will have the balls to do it. (^ . ^)
Still, I watched in horror as the first Titans attacked the human settlement and saw the murder of Eren's Mom.... Good Anime Heavens! What is going on?! What kind of sick mangaka decides that it is a good idea to portray the murder of a mom and in such a terrible manner??? It felt like Bambi's mum dying all over again.
Of course, I went online to see if it was just a "prune" thing of mine, but no. Most of the sites I saw said exactly the same thing: "WTF????" On that note I do recommend these guys:
https://youtu.be/5lTrr9HXRU8 Their reactions are great!
It is an important shock and I think this might be the first and foremost reason why the anime is so capable of hooking you in. That and the entry song which, of course, is badass.
But I did not plan on talking about the entire series. just Annie LeonHardt. What is going on with her? She's, of course, the first notion that there is a plot of humans with a quarrel against humanity... Which makes me wonder, so, each time they look at themselves in the mirror, do they scream at themselves: "I hate you?!"
I do not have much faith in humanity, but to battle my own species seems somewhat idiotic... Then again, it might be just me.
