Should we ban fireworks?

<< < (2/7) > >>

Welshbreed:
it sucks for animal owners, however I feel as fireworks are used in a considerate manner (not by chavs or their parents) then all is well. but people launching fireworks etc before fireworks day does [throw it] me off, but if we were to ban everything, what would be left? a very boring group of people, who have nothing to do.

Al's two pence:
"Just because some people are [!Expletive Deleted!] and some people take thing to seriously doesn't mean we should let the few ruin it for the many. it's far easier to slap a chav."

Drift:
Yes yes yes  :evil:

They used to be fun now they are weapons.

A firework is an explosive.

Fire balls that have the power to shoot hundreds of feet into the sky.

The power to blow a hand off, or a face.

A few £££ and your child can get hold of them.

There is only one answer.

--- Quote from: "denviks" ---i have answered no to that one.... we have our own little thing every year in the garden. the big local displayes are always full of yobs or louts. i wouldnt want to have to go to one of them every year  :evil:  :evil:  :evil:  :wink:

Thats fine, a "little thing" ... a few whizz bangs flashes and oooooooohhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhs at home.

When it comes to "commercial" size chemical explosions on the streets and in the parks,set off by a lagged up chav it's a massive anti-social problem.

I would like to know how it is that fireworks shops appear by magic in every town for a few weeks,only to be left empty/derelict for the rest of the year.
How come that the "Standard Fireworks" company are advertising on local radio a BOGOF promotion where I can buy £170 quids worth for £40 ???? Just need to collect from the factory shop at Bradford or some such place. Shows what a profit there is in it eh ?

 
Don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed massive organised fireworks displays in various places around the world ( July 4th in the states is something else !) but I hate the fact that any chav or his k**bhead parents (with more money than sense) can scare the wits out of me, my wife and my dog for what seems to be a season starting in October/November and going through till after the New Year.

strapping young lad:
fireworks should be purchased with a licence in my view, keep a control on it

i much prefer watching a display where you pay to watch and get a good display rather than one or two in the local park set off by the undesirables

Guardian.:
we get the commercial proper bang fireworks from a wholesaler, and as mad as i am, with these treat them like our firearms ammunition as they are lethal, not only in the wrong little hands, but also if something goes wrong!
fireworks are like landrovers, can be faulty, but as we live in de sticks, and our yard allows us to stand a good long way from the source they are perfectly safe.
we had one last year that rather than go up god knows how high then explode, just exploded on the ground, twas a wicked bang though :twisted:
they should definately not be banned, but better policed, and def not be used in a public place, as even the tescos and morrisons jobbies will kill.
perhaps to buy you should have to register and get a certificate from a local council or something, and if caught with them without a cert beheaded or something, that should sort most the idiots out.
finished now.
