They're fun! Been shooting them off all week. I like the bottle rockets the best, too bad they're illegal here but nothing an hour drive to Missouri can't fix.
Yeah, and screw the neighbors and anyone within listening distance, right? What's the difference here between this and cranking up the boombox to max on your front lawn late at night?
Fun for you, but for all those folks trying to catch some uninterrupted sleep before work early tomorrow morn, not so much.
You honestly could not think of anything to fit "Other"? Seriously?I tend to avoid polls that do not include the response I would have checked. In my case, I enjoy fireworks when I do see them however I do not go out of my way to attend each and every fireworks event. And I do not think their use should be restricted to government officials.
Mexicans love the **** out of fireworks. It's just been nonstop fireworks around here for a week, and probably will be for another week.
I used to have a dog that was a good hunting dog and wasn't fazed by gun fire, but was scared to death of fireworks.
I like professional shows myself. Some of the stuff they can make those sky rockets do these days is quite impressive.
But individual fireworks is fine too.... freedom: play at your own risk.

The difference is I don't do it late at night when people are sleeping.

I swear, some people...
Fireworks are dangerous.
Here's a small example: Haywire fireworks fly into Colo. crowd, injure 9 at show - NY Daily News
No matter who's setting them off fireworks are always dangerous.
A shell accidentally exploded in its tube instead of in the sky, sending a rack of shells to tip over at the show in Avon, about 100 miles west of Denver, Town Manager Virginia Egger said.
"The crowd was exceptional in its calm response to what could have been a much more serious incident," Deputy Chief Greg Daly said in a statement, noting it was the first "failure in production" of the "spectacular fireworks display" in 29 years.
No one said Freedom was free of danger.You just can't regulate accidents.
Wrong.
You can totally prevent 'accidents' with fireworks by staying far away from them.
Pretty frickin' simple.
:lol:
I live in a hilly area surrounded by trees, we have been experiencing a drought and it was 100 degrees yesterday. A few days ago, our venerable old baseball stadium burned to the ground replete with a wall of flames estimated at nearly 100 feet high. Luckily, it was not in my hilly, forested area, otherwise the fire would have consumed too many houses to count.
When our city council voted to ban fireworks in certain areas, they did so, not to limit people's ability to play at their OWN risk, but to play at the risk of others.

I completely forgot about the drought. I wonder how anywhere in California can justify the use of fireworks.
