They should ban fireworks


It's annoying, scares animals. And every year people have injuries on hands and eyes, or are even killed.

I thought you lived in Switzerland?

Fireworks are illegal in my State, but the cops turn a blind eye on holidays. They have better things to do than answering hundreds of calls for people lighting off fireworks. It makes more sense to legalize and regulate things like this.

Lots of things are annoying and scare animals, but banning them seems like a knee jerk reaction.
Concerning injuries, a little personal responsibility goes a long way.

It sounds like you should stay inside on New Years. :)

Yeah, it's particularly bad over here (kids throwing fireworks at people is the worst). We just buy party fireworks from the Lidl. It's fun and not too loud and dangerous.

even on New Years' Eve?

Even then

I thought it came from there.

I think the idea of the homemade, back garden firework party is fading in the UK. Firstly, they’re terribly expensive and secondly, a bit crap. Much better to go to an organised event (if you’re that way inclined).

Fireworks...the literal definition of money going up in smoke...

I tend to agree. The annual New Year's fireworks extravaganza that they put on in Sydney is so gluttonously over the top it's embarrassing. And what exactly are they "celebrating" anyway ?

reply

I'm all for a ban. There are plenty of other ways to celebrate holidays.

reply

You are right. Most cities where I live have banned them. Sparklers are okay.
