"Game of 72" fad where idiot teenagers completely disappear for 72 hours is flipping Vancouver Polic - Polidicks

"The youth are stupid and reckless!!" - Everyone who isn't a teenager until they die, since the beginning of time.

[QUOTE=DeEz;47677804]Dumbest thing I've heard all year.[/QUOTE] I'd argue it would be doing them a favor with employers pretty much doxing your online personality these days when you apply for jobs. Then again, pseudonyms.

I seriously doubt this will become even remotely widespread. Media sensationalism, move on. [editline]7th May 2015[/editline] Kids have been running away from home for years, just because there's a social media tag doesn't mean it's an endemic the same way that people would drink before going out before 'prinking' was a word.

[QUOTE=DeEz;47677804]Dumbest thing I've heard all year.[/QUOTE] It will be topped, sooner or later.

Are we still allowed to beat our kids?

[QUOTE=MoonlessNight;47677452]Shut it down. Make all non-educational web services 18+. I'm tired of this shit.[/QUOTE] Are you serious right now? How do you not realize how awful/pointless of an idea this is? How is this going to stop idiots from having idiotic ideas? Not to mention that your age gate is ridiculous. You also somehow seem to think this is all teenagers doing this shit. I'm sitting here going "wow these people are fucking morons" but by your logic, I shouldn't be allowed on this site until I've already applied for fucking college. [QUOTE=wickedplayer494;47678962]I'd argue it would be doing them a favor with employers pretty much doxing your online personality these days when you apply for jobs.[/QUOTE] If they're the kind of people who go "lol I'm going to disappear for 72 hours" they won't hold that job for very long anyway.

The people who play this game have a brain made of whole-grain stupidity. I mean... fuck... [QUOTE]cyka idiota i di na hui blyat[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=J!NX;47675722]This and swatting (FAR MORE SERIOUS) are a massive waste on resources that could be used on actual cases where people are actually dealing with something horrible.[/QUOTE] What? This is actually way worse than fucking swatting.

[QUOTE=0x0000000C;47682280]What? This is actually way worse than fucking swatting.[/QUOTE] Well, I mean, this is just causing a huge startle / search parties. At worst it'll cause a lot of people a lot of lost time. swatting involves making people who are armed to the teeth think that there is a serious hostage situation going on which could cause physically harm to a streamer / or other / or someones family, possibly property damage. it's still very stupid no less. But there isn't really a risk of someone being shot. besides, aren't people going to jail for swatting? I'm trying to find articles but I'm not sure whats true.
