Yeah, some jerk-offs in a truck were driving around my neighbourhood last night throwing lit fireworks out of their windows. I waited for them to come around again, and i picked up a shovel (hoping i wouldn't have to use it) and I told them to clear the f*** out or I would call the cops.

They cussed me all the way to hell, but they left.

The correct way to respond such behavior to enlighten them as to the real nature of fireworks with the simple aplication of an RPG.

Yeah, I was taking the trash out last night and some people were setting some off. I heard a loud bang and thought it was a gun until I figured out it was only fireworks.

yay for not posting much ever

boy am I glad they're outlawed here!

you should have used the shovel to knock the fireworks back into their truck

I have to keep my cat inside... not because she's scared, but because she ISN'T scared, of anything. Some kids will no doubt throw firecrackers at her. I saw a news story where something like 6 puppies were found dead - apparently some kids thought it would be funny to put firecrackers in their mouths.

I don't have a problem with them, however, I do have a problem with the way some people use them. The noise doesn't bother me since it's once or twice a year. However, if I catch people throwing them at me or my house, they will get much more than just a threat with a shovel.

In my neighborhood, the fireworks haven't been too bad. As in some of you people's situations. However, they've been lighting them for at least 1 week or a week and a half. It would just be nice if they could light them all on July 4th, rather than for the past week or so. Very random too. They'll light them at about 11 in the morning. You'd think that they would wait until it is somewhat dusk out to really see them.

They're not outlawed everywhere. There's stands all over town selling them. It's TECHNICALLY illegal to set them off within city limits, but the few days before and probably after the 4th of July, I doubt the cops really care unless you're being an idiot. Me and my friends bought a crapload of them to set off sometime, and I just blew up my dog's water dish this afternoon. Well, not really. But I got these tiny little firecrackers and it seems that they burn underwater...and explode with enhough force to blast all the water into the air AND toss the (metal) dish up 5 or 6 feet. Great fun.

I sure love explosives! And I'm so very glad they're legal here. As long as people are MODERATELY sensible about it.

I think that law is only in effect in montreal. Basicly you can't get fireworks unless you go to city hall first and get a piece of paper saying you represent an organised event. So you still get all the fireworks shows, but at the same time it prevents little amateur kids from getting their hands on them and causing trouble.

Don't have to worry about it too much since fireworks are illegal here. People still get them, but not everyone does.

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

Here fireworks are legal as long as they don't go higher than 20 feet in the air or have a radius larger than 10 feet. Also, nothing that explodes.

Nothing that explodes? That's not a firework, it's a bloody sparkler.

I think you all need to stop your *****ing. As long as no one's hurting anyone else with them, maybe YOU should wait a couple of days until they're done? I'm not much of a patriot, but I won't stop anyone else from feeling like they're one by shooting off fireworks.

Honestly, I feel really good when I light fireworks for the kids. See, my father does the big show for the adults, and I do a smaller show for the little kids who had to be inside for the big show. I like to show them fireworks in a safe way, and then teach them WHY we light fireworks, why we celebrate. It's really sad how few people actually think about the amazing thing America did on this day. How we broke off from the strongest power at the time, and then defeated it. That's quite a feat.

i don't mind a little bit but when people are firing off the big stuff that should wait for your big showing of awsome on the 4th and is so damn loud it interrupts my recordng it annoys me

oh and in this state we also have restrictions... i think you can't have any flying or exploding stuff... you're limited to fountains and smoke bombs basically... so you fix it by driving a few minutes to kentucky... none of the cops give a crap about illegal fireworks as long as you are using common sense and not doing anything dangerous

LONG LIVE DREAMCAST!!!

Frankly I hate fireworks. Every freakin year there are these idiots who shoot them right over our house. Keep in mind it is completely illegal here to use any sort of firework. So we end up calling the police every time, and our roof almost caught fire once. Needless to say, if fireworks didn't exist, I wouldn't be disappointed.

That car story reminds me of something I did. Punks were going around throwing stuff out the windows at my friend and I. We just got out of 7-11 with huge slushies. They were still full. My friend set "**** it" at the 6th time they came along, and chucked his slushie into the diver's window. We got a good laugh when they started swerving randomly, hit a sign or two and finally stopped. The driver's door opened. We ran.


Oh, and fireworks don't bother me much. Except when I hear them but don't see them *curses the science of sound* I want to seeeeeeee.

When are they supposed to use them?

I've actually seen some very nice pre-Independance Day fireworks shot off in my neighborhood.

Back in 2000 I had saved a few to shoot off when Bush won the election but that one turned out to be so anti-climactic that I never did. Maybe this year.

Have you forgotten ...

I really enjoy how my neighbors complain about firecrackers going off in our neighborhood even though there are hourly fly-bys from various military aircraft that generate far more noise than a little bottle-rocket.

Fireworks are fun but when I hear them for a week straight before and after the 4th, it gets on my nerves. Jeez.

me remembers when Bush came to canberra and there were fighter jets flying overhead all night and all day the next day. It took ages for me to get to sleep.

Also, the queens birthday weekend of this year was the last year that fireworks were legal in canberra, YEAH! No more loud noises all night on the night when some people want to sleep in for the long weekend
