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.

    I live on a farm. I raise livestock. I literally own land with woodland on them I use for heat, production, and regrow everything I cut down that isn’t naturally felled by hurricanes. My work and my land contributes to society.

    What have you done?

    If you could for one second stop talking out of your ass, you might make a respectable point. But I’m sure it’s real easy to act how you act from the middle of an apartment downtown in a city.

      Whipping out your privilege of owning a lot of land doesn’t suddenly make those kids not dying in mines for your electronics and trees not getting cut down for your books.

      So nice try but that’s got nothing to do with this conversation, and owning a farm doesn’t make you right all the time, nor a better person.

      I kinda doubt you’re on a farm, honestly, if you have that much of an opinion about fireworks. You don’t have them blasting off from your neighbors right next to your house till 3am like people in the city do.

        Why do you think I moved to a farm?

        Just because you don’t give a rats ass about other people because them being miserable or having medical episodes obviously comes second to you having your “fun” setting off explosives in populated areas.

        You’re just an asshole.

          Makes two of us then, and between fireworks and consoles, pretty sure children don’t die in the mines for gunpowder
