Politics : Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

- They are loud and annoying
- They frighten dogs and war veterans
- They are dangerous
- They can cause wildfires
- They’re bad for the environment

Instead of launching fireworks we can just sit around a bonfire and break out some groovy tunes on the good ole guitar.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Let me guess, you're still pissed someone pull the firecracker in steel stockpot in your bedroom while you slept? Talk about PTSD.

If I get pulled over, it better be a gay policeman riding on a unicorn.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Once you’ve seen a firework once or twice it just becomes lamer and lamer the older you get. Am I supposed to be impressed by them as a grown ass man?

They’re aimed at young teenagers who’re easily impressed and haven’t experienced anything interesting in their lives.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Nah, they're a classic form of celebration. I'm not impressed by the ones which just make a loud noise. But the fire and light displays in the sky can be amazing.

It seems that the tight ass social controllers want to ban everything which can possibly have an option to be misused. I would guess you want to ban alcohol, and a speed limit over 55, and impose all sorts of nanny state bullshit on the rest of us responsible adults because there are a few crazies out there.

Freedom has risks. We can ensure everyone would be safe and never frightened if we enacted a general curfew and forced everyone to stay in their bedrooms all day. I guess you would be all for that, right?

It’s the only form of celebration that gives war veterans nightmares and dreadful flashbacks. You got helpless house pets cowering under beds, wondering if they will live through the night, just shaking like a leaf.

And all for what? So people with boring lives can look up in the sky and see some gay glimmer of light for a couple of seconds, and somehow they are still in awe by some thing they’ve seen over a hundred times before? This tradition is so outdated and lame.

Dude, you have a very defeatist and dull outlook on life. I assure you, I'd be fine if I never saw another firework again. Or never saw an interesting movie, or saw a beautiful flower, or read a clever poem. Life is not about any one detail. It's about all the details.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

You could make that lame argument for literally anything.

Matthew McConaughey: “Man I could never cheat on my wife again and live a happy life, but don’t tell me that infidelity should be taken away because that’s just one detail….and life is about all the details.”

Suppose I call Hitler out for killing all the Jews.

Me: Hey Hitler, stop killing all the Jews

Hitler: Sure I could never kill another Jew again and it’s no skin off my back, but look here young man, life isn’t just about one detail, it’s about all the details, you have a nice day now.

In conclusion, your McConaughey philosophy talk is pretty much BS.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

What are you babbling about now?

You said and I quote:

That's what I'm addressing. I'm not talking about The Holocaust for crying out loud. You said beautiful lights in the sky are irrelevant. I'm saying, sure, it's not a matter of grave importance. But it's one of those great little details which make life great.

You must be hella fun at parties.

You gave some Matthew McConaughey philosophy speech and I pointed out that it was weak, so weak that Hitler could have used it to justify killing all the Jews. You can go online and watch fireworks anytime you want, it’s the responsible way.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Dude, you just compared lighting fireworks to genocide and the holocaust because some cranky old man and his dog are afraid of loud noises.

I agree. They are illegal where I live but it doesn't stop people

Another reason why banning them would be futile.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I actually agree with you on this.

Mainly because the loud noises scare animals, both wildlife and pets. It wakes birds up from their sleep. It throws animals completely off their time schedule.

I have grown up both shooting fireworks and seeing many displays. I'm over it. They're just pointless, like Christmas Lights. All Christmas lights do is use up electricity. If people's idea of fun is seeing colorful lights on a house, and things go boom in the sky, well, that's stupid. It's fun for the poor and/or the ignorant.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Loud noises scare animals and wakes birds up from their sleep?? Oh boo hoo! Are you for real??

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

When I was a kid I had a dalmatian who was frightened by them. She would hide under my bed on the fourth of July. This was against "the rules", but I let her slide.

But guess what? As soon as they were over, she was fine!

There you go again, wanting to BAN something just because YOU don't like it!
You are such a Leftard asshole! Go BAN yourself!

Hey idiot, why don’t you explain why fireworks are so great. Did you not see my reasons above, they are a nuisance.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

STFU, asshole!

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Your are right we should dispose of all of them. I recommend shoving them all up Dorians ass and lighting them one at a time. All fireworks. Everywhere. One at a time.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I was talking to you’re main account MovieMan, not your sock account Soul.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Like I said youre fucking stupid.

Beware the sound of one hand clapping.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I have no sock accounts, dumb ass. That shows how stupid you are!

You and Venom are so obviously the same person it’s laughable haha.

- You both spew the same right wing garbage 24/7
- Both call everyone “Stupid” and “fucktards”
- You bump all his threads with a cheers emoji

You’re the same person.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Once again, this shows how fucking stupid you are, asshole!

You sound like you’re a middle school dipshit, nice potty mouth.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

And you ARE a middle school dipshit!

Along with stupid, irritating and truculent, you've now become boring. So I'm not gonna waste any more of my valuable time with your inane rantings. So bye, sock troll dipshit! Have a shitty life.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Yes, run away to your right wing safe space you snowflake.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I honestly don't think they're the same person. Soul Venom is more theoretical and doctrinaire than MovieMan.

What about the posts where he says “Go to hell fucktard, you’re a dumbass”? That sounds a lot like MovieMan ehhh? Perhaps they both have potty mouths, quite the coincidence.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

MovieMan never gets politically in depth. He's just your standard Republican. I disagree with Soul Venom but he's fun to debate. SV is a Christian fundie where as MovieMan is agnostic.

SV is a Christian Fundamentalist?

The guy who calls everyone a fucktard and licks Trumps ass all day, a man who is arguably the most atheist president in the history of the United States? No way dude.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

We all know Trump is a materialist who has kinky sex. But he has an expedient alliance with conservative Christians. I actually think Obama was the most atheist president. Trump thinks more about money and is probably agnostic.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

People should only be allowed to set off fireworks within the confines of their own homes.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

They aren’t going to get outlawed simply because of the fact that the historical Independence Day traditions. Fireworks also make for a good way to celebrate certain occasions.

- They are dangerous
- They can cause wildfires
- They’re bad for the environment

Not all wildfires are caused by humans. Are you an environmentalist?

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Everyone is an environmentalist, nobody wants to live in cow fart fumes.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I don't think any person should be able to purchase fireworks. If someone is purchasing them for a festival or theme park, then I don't see the issue.

I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Rocketboy, you're an idiot. You might kill someone with that sparkler.

This is terrifying:

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

Well sparklers are fairly dangerous. Just because kids often play with them doesn't mean they can't get hurt by them. But I'm more talking about stuff like M80s and other high explosives. That shit's dangerous and letting some random purchase a bunch of them so they can later get drunk and shoot a bunch of them off is irresponsible and often leads to people getting seriously hurt and/or property being damaged.

I live. I die. I live again.

Re: Fireworks should be banned, they’re a nuisance.

I agree with you about M80's. But you made a blanket statement. When I was a kid everyone in the neighborhood gathered in the streets the night of July 4th and it was a celebration. Now the city has banned fireworks altogether because somebody's roof caught fire. There needs to be a balance.
