Alright, I'm going to launch explosives around your house. For several hours. Yes it is dangerous and terrible for wildlife and the environment. And yes your pets will get sick from eating the debris and you will feel terrorized inside your own home.

No you can't opt out of it. Everyone is doing it and frankly it's weird that you don't want to.

No you can't be the one launching the explosives you need a license for that. You can however launch these marginally smaller ones though. Yeah just whenever you want. 2am sounds great.

So anyway, fireworks were a mistake and it's never too early to start reminding you of that.

Are professional shows not similarly violating the consent of some community members?

I ignore pointless questions because - haha - I'm not here to answer your fucking queries.

you're the one trying to justify setting off explosives 'because everyone loves it and gives you money blah blah'.

Professional shows end at the appointed time and usually no one gets maimed.

I’m not here to answer your fucking queries

You came here to argue with me, did you not? If you didn't expect a conversation, why post in the thread?

Anyways those restrictions apply to our fireworks display too (set time, never had an injury from a firework) so I'm glad to know your criteria approves of our show too :)

I look forward to another show that, yes, everyone will love enough to contribute to as a community.
