It's the Effing Friday Thread!! Post Whores Live Here!

[asyed]

dont lie @FD22 ... you're a redneck at heart

[asyed]

also serious question.... do they sell fireworks in huge bulk quantities or do people really buy shit tons of it? It never made financial sense to me in the first place seeing all that money go kaboom.

Also someone down the street has been firing them off for the past 1 hour and still hasnt ran out.

[SomeGuy]

Around here they start at dusk and go for 2-3 hours all over the god damn place. Just so bloody annoying and pointless. I can't see why people waste their money on them.

What shocks me is that they're even legal...let's let people have explosives that shoot through the air.

[ChristinaD]

For once I agree with you. I live in a subdivision and its annoying as crap especially when there's tons of parking lots and empty fields nearby to set them off that arent as close/ far enough to not bother me.

Last night one of my neighbors was setting theirs off and I swear it sounded like someone was setting off fireworks right infront of my house.

Where I live, basically every street has fireworks going off. But my family and I always try to embrace it, and go outside and enjoy free firework shows. Also it isnt as practical to go to a park since you would have to bring so much. I say, go for a drive and enjoy the hundreds of dollars spent on fireworks by all those people.

[asyed]

Its worse when you give them to middle/high schoolers ( and believe me... they do get their hands on them pretty easy)... Ive seen kids shooting them at each other back in middle school and it fricking scared the shit out of me.


Also I never understood why anyone would set them off any earlier than when its completely dark outside. Isnt the light have the "fun"?

I support this viewpoint

you know.... theres something with 4 wheels called a car that has this magical special place in the back where you can put your stuff like fireworks ( I think some people call it a trunk).

Not if that area is full of micro-fiber cloths. I hear some people have that too.

You can never have too many microfiber cloths.

There will always be idiots in the world. Shouldn't ruin the fun for everyone/the people who enjoy it.


I think people just use buying fireworks and setting them off for a reason to get outside and to give them something to do when it gets late at night on the long weekend. Not everyone has bon fire pits, or things outside to do, so i think it is just a fun way for people to pass the time. And like... they're so shiny!!!

[asyed]

. they're so shiny!!!

not as shiny as my car

but think of a family or a bunch of people who got together this weekend. They have to lug all the fireworks, and bucket of sand (if youre doing it safely/properly) And then blankets or chairs so you can sit and enjoy it. Becomes so much more work, and i feel like more risky because you're at a park which is public and harder to control if anyone else is around, rather than your own front/backyard.

[asyed]

People still lug stuff like that (minus the sand and fireworks) around when they are going to the beach or camping.


Are you saying people should make beaches in their own backyards now too?

[FD22]

Poor baby.

Ohai!

Well we won't ruin the fun, how about limiting the time frame from 9 to 10 only? Nobody wants to hear them going off for hours on end.

[geobur]

Ohai!

Oh hay dere.

Okay, i understand this, for the fact that obviously people want to sleep and enjoy just a quiet peaceful evening too. Maybe like the whole "noise" situation, where people after 11 are required to be less "noisy" to their neighbors, probably be an easy way to enforce it from being done too late, but hard to say if that would really be implemented when people would only be able to do it for one hour.

[Aitch]

Am I the only one who hates fireworks going off in the neighbourhoods on these long weekends? Annoys the f*ck outta me.

Me too, because my dog is freaked the entire night.
