Should we ban fireworks?
datalas:
considering the current political climate [1] I'm shocked nobody is protesting about the environmental impact ...
Then again we don't seem to care about the environmental impact of blowing up large chunks of oil rich nations so perhaps I'm missing the point.. [2]
[1] no pun intended
[2] hehe, pollution really does start at home, and apparently, ends there too

3 local pubs had bonfires/fireworks tonight.
At leat that shortens the time scale !
The local idiots who would not be able to buy fireworks visited my local and still caused probs because they were drunk, 16 yrs old and looking for trouble. No fireworks with them but if any had got too close to the bonfire they would have exploded themselves with the alcohol they had inside them ( wishful thinking ? )
The police ended up chucking a few in the back of two vans, " Ouch you're breaking my arm" as their mates videoed the proceedings on moblie phones.
A good family night ended up being spoiled by teenage alchoholics with gang warfare the only thing on their minds.
I would like to know who their parents are,and what they would do if they were aware of the probs their spawn is causing.
It seems to me that as long as whatever their kids do is away from home it doesn't matter.
This mamby pamby society we live in now does not allow proper discipline from parents.schools, local bobbies, relations or neighbours. Kids don't know where the line is now and even dare adults to risk prosecution by trying to instill any sort of social awareness/ responsibility into them from an early age.
I don't mean parents should be able to thrash kids, but once upon a time the mere threat of being slapped was enough to stop enough to ensure the lines were drawn out.
Respect and responsibility ought to be second nature by the time kids each secondary education.
If that means frightening the crap out of them until they are 12 years old, so be it.
This country would be a far better place for it.

Why don't we ban 4x4's, or motorcycles, or hangliders, or horse riding, or fishing - or a hundred other activities which might up-set a few nimby's. Perhaps its time to teach responsible use and or pursuit of such activities. After all these asbo kids are all someones sons or daughters. Lets get back to proper action/consequence/punishment mentoring so that kids grow up to accept responsibility for their actions and know there will be a real punishment if they step out of line.
