Can people shove up fireworks up their ass?
- Thread starter Dust
- Start date
Only time I don't mind them are 4th of July and today. Any other time it's just annoying and over the summer I have neighbors who do it till 2 a.m., this usually goes on and off till the end of August by me.
OP doesn't like something so you want to ban it from the country. I'm going to shoot some extra large mortars just to piss off the crybabies with sensitve ears or irritable lungs or whatever fake conditions they have. It's a national holiday and we are going to celebrate, get over it.
The best of logic. Just try applying this to any other source of trauma that doesn't cause death and understand how horrible it sounds.
Oh you lost your hearing from fireworks exploding next to you? You'll survive. Oh you lost three fingers when the pre-mature explosion got them? You'll survive. Oh your PTSD is triggered when fireworks startle you? You'll survive. Oh your pet suffers from extreme anxiety from the painful explosion noise? They'll survive.
Edit: also don't pretend it is once a year, people use them (illegaly) for weeks before and after new years here.

"Loud asshole" should be the name of the fireworks you should be using for 4th of july and new years.
I'm sure there's a YouTube video somewhere.
Yep, there it is. Plenty more where that came from.
Nobody cares about the pets you've decided to saddle yourselves with. There are 2 days a year that people shoot off fireworks. You knew about them before you bought your living jewelry, so fuck off with the indignation that people don't think of your self imposed sentient toys on NYE.
I didn't like going to parties in my 20s and 30s. In my 40s now you couldn't pay me to do it.
Yea, fuck those people who need service and emotional support animals right? Oh those people with PTSD who are affected too? All that matters is people have fun blowing things up!
For one or two nights a year? Sorry, but you get to put up with it.
And lmao bringing up like 2 percent of pet owners. GTFO with that dishonest bull
So because it is a small number of people they don't matter? How many people need to be negatively impacted in your mind for fireworks to be not worth it? Here is a good article about a solider with PTSD who killed himself after being agitated by them on the 4th.
And lets not forget the the Eagle Creek Fire which caused $20 million in damages because a 15 year old thought it would be fun to light off fireworks.
I have no problem with the big firework shows put on by cities/Disney ect. They do a great job giving you times and letting oyu make preparations. It is the people illegally lighting them off until 4am that are the problem.
My ears are overly-sensitive, growing up I had to go through christmas and new years with some ear protecting headphones. And your animals can get hurt too, having a dog I can't really sympathize with people who use fireworks, though I do get why they do it.
Having said that I can get behind fireworks that pop and have bright colors, but where I live there are a LOT of dumb people who buy these extremely loud things that don't do anything other than be loud, fuck those things.

Illegally lighting fireworks is always a problem. But the OP doesn't explicitly concern illegal fireworks, and it is perfectly legal to use fireworks in many states. Most people will be conforming to legal uses of fireworks as well, so I'm not sure where the illegal part even comes in? I haven't seen anyone championing the illegal use of fireworks, have you?
It's bangin over here!
For one day I'll allow it tho and I'm slowly getting drunk. 1h 36min more
And then MORE
Happy Nnew year!

It's a joke.
Seriously, people need to stop being offended by everything.
I'm offended by this. /s
But to be honest, I'm just reliving what happened this year and I knew there could be more. But marriage, moving and moving in job are good I guess.
Some don't.
Lots of birds don't.
I'm sure people can try to survive not firing anything too loud.
People that light fireworks on any day except the 4th of July in the States are the scum of the Earth.
Nah, lighting off fireworks that late at night is just being an inconsiderate asshole.
Agreed.

Agreed.
You can start by not being offended at how others take your jokes.
To answer the op: yee
Wouldn't mind if it was just a few nights a year, but tonight marks the end of two months of constant bloody fireworks round here. Dog is terrified and I'm fed up of constantly picking up firework debris out of my garden and driveway.
Leave it for New Years, 5th November and Diwali please

Please keep it civil everyone. There's a lot of people with pets and there's a lot of people without pets. A little empathy both ways are good. Thanks.
On topic: I am a person with pets and though pets can have a troublesome night during fireworks on new year's eve, it's also an occasion that could have been anticipated. It's the sudden fireworks and/or local neighbours' lighting strange explosive and loud stuff that's more of a problem for my household. Other than that, I keep my pets indoors and calmed on NYE, because I understand that my neighbours are not out to actually be troublesome. They are just people who wants to have fun and be merry.
