You saw them a few times as a kid, thought they were awesome and mind-blowing.

Now you're an adult and they're just the same boom after boom year after year.

Two weeks straight of these obnoxious explosions that everyone has seen a million times already.

Not to mention the greater attention year after year that goes into people with PTSD getting messed up by them, or the fear it puts into animals.

Let's just be done with them, ok?

Update, they're still dumb. Watching these people sprint around with fire, cinders on the dry grass, all that to watch one little thing go boom?

What a joke

Maybe stop eating the grass and you wont be so grumpy about children's entertainment.

This, but unironically.

If you want to impress the kids, show them literally anything. Show them some neat ribbons.

Theres not much to be patriotic about.

And frankly neither of them are worth triggering PTSD episodes in veterans nor causing anxiety to thousands if not millions of animals nationwide.

YEAH DUDE, KIDS LOVE FUCKING RIBBONS, WOOOOH!!

And theres plenty to be proud of if you interact with society and get off Buzzfeed.

You said fireworks were childrens' entertainment. The youngest person here is 22. There are no children here, so why are we doing this dumb firework shit?

I know it's the internet so it's unlikely but the possibility that people on this site have kids does exist.

Fireworks shows can be really cool. Colorful lights against a dark background in an open venue is a great show. Just don't bring that shit into a residential area, please. Light some smaller stuff, celebrate with your family, and don't be an asshole about it.

I also said there were no kids at my event last night. I'm confused as to how you got so fixated on the topic when I said at least twice that the youngest person there was 22.

You're asking can we as a SOCIETY agree that fireworks are dumb and pointless. Society includes kids. Parents want their children to experience the joy of fireworks which is what fireworks are all about

I don't mind the ones done by the state on New Year's Eve and the 4th, since they're nice and done from a distance. I used to love going to see them with my family as a kid and later, with my girlfriend. Hell, every Friday they have a short little firework show by Aloha Tower that I can somewhat see from my house, and I can still appreciate it. I don't think that we should deprive others of that.

But when some douchebag neighbor lights up illegal aerials that are so loud and close that I can literally feel the shockwave...That's what pisses me off <_<

I can see why people don't like them though, since it's pretty much just burning money and causing pollution.
