I don't care about fireworks one way or the other, but I'm pretty passionate that they should be legal for regular citizens.
I don't care for them that much anymore, and they do bother my dog. To the point that he shakes non-stop when they blow them off around here. Won't stop shaking until they are done. He literally has to be held and be close to somebody. Which is usually me. The Vet gave us some pills to calm him down due to shaking so bad. But they really don't stop him from shaking.
So really I will be glad when these next couple of days are over. He definitely can't stand the quarter sticks being blown off.
Fireworks... your opinion? See poll.
Elaborate, if you wish.
You mean the city displays at the 4th? They're alright.But they should allow more and better personal fireworks; now that's where the true fun is.
I saw on the news last night, that on the average, 18,000 fires are started in the USA by fireworks every July 4th.
When I was a teen in NE, we used to drive down to Missouri every year and buy M-80s in a plain brown bag from under the counter. The last year that we went down there, we got imitation ones that were an M-80 outside red packaging with a lady finger firecracker hidden inside. We were bummed. When the ladyfinger didn't pop, it would just shoot out a ton of sparks, Like the one that I threw into the tall dry grass at a favorite lake resort in NE (teen hangout).
Trees 40 feet tall were ablaze. Thank God that the fire fighters were able to put that fire out before it burned up the whole place. I've always felt bad about that big mistake.
EDIT: I think I post this every year. lol
A lot of dead people would agree with you.
Talk to this guy: Man shoots off firework from top of his head, dies instantly
When you have idiots fooling with fireworks you're going to have deaths and injuries.

That guy is not worthy of being included in the "That's a tragic accident" category. That guy committed unintentional-but-voluntarily suicide by gross stupidity and should not be included in serious discussion.
