Unless your goal is to set off car alarms, scare people’s pets, and upset veterans who have ptsd. Then, they are amazing. Equally amazing for signalling you are an inconsiderate dick. Other people don’t want to see or listen to your display of insecurity and lack of self satisfaction. Want to see the flashy boom boom in the sky? Go to fucking disney world. Otherwise, leave the other 99% of us alone.

    You find it a habit to use your buddy’s problems for your benefit?

    What is your problem? How dod you think that was an appropriate response in any way?

    I provided an example of my friend to demonstrate how fireworks can negatively impact people in ways you might not have seen.

    My parents are both Air Force vets, brother in law and cousin are both combat marines deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Cousin was a Purple Heart recipient who was caught up in an IED attack. Another cousin is army. My best bud is currently a marine pilot. Another best friend of mine is a marine reservist. They all enjoy fireworks.

    Setting aside you are doing the sane thing you accused me of you don’t mention anyone having PTSD from airstrikes. Maybe they like fireworks because they don’t have PTSD.

      I thought I was pretty clear. I think calling out your friend by name as an anecdote to back some point in an internet argument is a shitty thing to do. PTSD was already brought up in this thread, but for some reason you felt the need to pull Christian into it? Gross.

      Yes, I did the exact same thing to show how fucking stupid this line of reasoning is. There are so many vets who love fireworks, why does Christian get to keep them from that? Stop using veterans as pawns in your arguments, it’s disgusting.

      If you think the needs of veterans with PTSD are worth banning all fireworks, just say that and be done with it.
