Hi there!
Tis the season to be jolly...
And to be stupid too...
What's your view on firecrackers?
I'm not talking planned pyro stuff,but this stuff bought over or under the counter.
I'm of the opinion,you wouldn't burn your cash,so why endanger the lives of pets,children,nature & yourself for pitiful "pleasure".
GROW UP!!!
What of the child labour used in manufacture thereof?Poor remuneration,safety,long hours...
Impact on environment?Greenhouse effect of burnt sulphur?Litter of spent crackers on beaches & forests.(fire hazards)
Everybody has this high moral view of owning a fuel efficient car,environmentally friendly processes and yet frighten the SHT out of the animals.
Does anyone know that a dog's hearing is at least ten times more acute than the average person?
Pull your finger from your nose,reply to this thread and get the word spread.
BAN
FIREWORKS!!!
GLOBALLY!!!
NOW!!!
Donate that money to animal welfare...Let's see if you got the gonads to help others.
The satisfaction you glean from helping others,will exceed the petty "pleasure".
Lastly,your children learn from you.What example do you set?
THINK CAREFULLY!!!!
PS :
If you're not offended by this posting,the message was not intended for you.
Peace out.

I might just be another ignorant jack*ss but... I like to blow stuff up.

 

Dude, I don't care where they came from but lightin' them off is still blast especially on the 4th of july or new years (competeing with the neightbors) as stupid or ignorant is you mite think its still fun. So just shut up, and have some fun you don't know what your missing.

 

Just as I thought.
Replies from people who can't spell, says something of I.Q...Or is that ID? Intelligence Defeciency.
Anyway, here where I live, there is no tie to your July 4th celebration. Why should we be subjected to your traditions?
Bad enough that we have to be subjected to your $ as benchmark for currency exchange.
Yet, when you guy's have a "recession" (political or otherwise), our currency also drops.
Maybe arrogant energy should be turned into positive energy.
Just ask, I've a few to help you...
Anger management is a good start...
Merry X-Mas.
Benjamin.

 

DO NOT BAN FIREWORKS!!!!!!!!

IMO if you do not like fireworks, then do not buy any and leave more for me!



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Where I live, we celebrate the 4th of July, proudly.

 

No, No, No, No, benjaminjones is right. We should all just go back to shooting our guns in the air to celebrate, like the good ole wild west days. Works for a lot of other countries, why not the US too. Dude, sorry about your anti-american feelings, but I don't think your rant will ever go over well with the general off road crowd here, lol.

 

Hi...again...
I need to apologize profusely.
It was not my intention to be anti-American or show disregard for your culture or traditions.
My intention was to stimulate discussion regarding fireworks.
With new year's bashes being imminent, and all the foolishness being entertained, I thought it good for the discussion thereof.
Needless to say, there will always be a market for contraband and such if we in the world do not wake up.
It's more about looking after nature and natural resources for the generations hereafter.
Being conscientious of buying a frugal car instead of a huge gas-guzzler. Just think of how much less we will be dependant on the oil producing countries.
Not to mention lower environmental impact, recycling efficiency and saving cash to buy more toys.....
Chew on that for a start.
My plight regarding firecrackers is not being a kill-joy. Re-read my initial posting and you'll see my concern regarding nature, animals & such.
Do something good for once, you'll get it all back, exponentially.
Cheers!
Benjamin.

 

I say light off fireworks by sticking them in dogs' ears.

You would think that you'd have more important things to worry about in South Africa than fireworks.

 

This country has used fireworks to celebrate many different occasions for hundreds of years. I don't know of all your country's problems, benjamin, but here we have bigger problems to worry about, and if fireworks can bring a smile on someone's face, then I say "LIGHT 'EM!"
