Where I live fireworks are illegal. That of course doesn't stop almost everyone around me from setting them off. That's bad enough, I've been hearing fireworks for the last 3 hours now. Now that's stupid enough, If the cops would come by the fine is 250.00, I think, but  there has been lighting and thunder going on for about an hour now. It started off to the north and west and is now over head. has this stopped the fireworks? No, these people are still out setting of fireworks and have their kids out side with them. I don't get it. Why take chances in a lighting storm just to set off illegal fireworks?

  • Its raining here and my neighbors across the road are doing sparklers and fountain fireworks in their GARAGE...

    Yeah...intelligent.

    Whatever...its their house not mine and their insurance will dent the claim if something happens.

  • personally, I never was a fan of fireworks. especially when you have a two year old trying to sleep and those damn fireworks have been shooting about 3 hours and finally stopped just now. Thank god!  I don't know why people would have firework inside of their garage.  That is pretty damn stupid.  And i wonder how many injuries will happen for this year's firework.

  • I just returned home from our annual 4th Of July party.  FOOD< BOOZE AND Firworks.   We did have a spectacular fireworks dispaly.     The party was in the country and most of the neighbors attend the show.

    My problem isnt the fireworks, but the booze.  Thats when the stupidity ensues.  There were maybe 4 sober adults at the party.  I left the drunks at the party.  Both my sons and I are home, and sober.  Both my sons make comments about the douchbaggery .
