Shit's dangerous for real. I remember breaking up all the firecrackers we had and making a super-bomb hybrid thing when I was like 13 or something, and got my first real fright when it almost immediately exploded.
If I ever have children, I'm going to scare them by blowing up my own hand...
Or show them pictures like that...
Or just teach them proper safety protocol...which I don't know, but I will learn.
IF I have children.

Thanks...
Driving is essential. Even if you live in not-america and have public transportation someone is driving.
I've seen some really bad accidents. ... Alot actually.
And I'm angry we seem to be doing nothing about it. I'm angry that doing dangerous shit with a vehicle is normalized.
But motor vehicles are essential to the function of society. Pretty explosions are not.
You need training and certification to operate a vehicle. You need $5 to operate a firecracker.
keep vehicles AND fireworks out of the hands and stupid drunk people. There's alot of laws and enforcement to do the former. Not the latter.

I beg to differ.
Fireworks train peoples tolerance for each others shenanigans.
If we stop lighting the fireworks of peace we will start lighting the fireworks of war.
Dont you agree that what these guys need is a few rolls of firecrackers? If only for their neighbors sake where it all lands!
These people are happy, they want to celebrate with fireworks of peace but all they have available are the fireworks of war.
For the sake of every living thing in a one mile radius, give these guys some celebration crackers.

I think the law is coming down on banging fireworks here as well

True that. All firecrackers and bottlerockets have been banned in Holland.
Its starting to become more and more of a kutland in every way, don't you think?
There is even aggression against cat owners for letting their cats out the door.
Nobody tolerates a God damned thing anymore.

Very true
Im getting tired of this shit and mostly all the people
The lock-down really opened my eyes to how I like to live the quiet life, and I live in a relatively peaceful part of the city

We're also an OLD country, the average citizen is 44 and that means that the selfish old boomers are putting the axe in more and more freedoms of the youth "because it annoys them".
Hence, the fuckery over that Piet has to be blackface to not ruin a childrens party, while at the same time roilling over each other fighting to outlaw fireworks which 80% of youths love.
Its truly becoming a cuntry.

I dont think we should start the Zwarte Piet discussion here 
We are not going to agree on that one

I think we can agree that if you dont want to ruin a kids party, you don't outlaw fireworks.

Like I said in the other thread, banning it is just a lazy way to deal with a problem.
The idea is to keep people and buildings safe. So restrict who can buy fireworks. Require fireworks vendors go down a quick rundown of safety precautions and what they should never ever do. Include directions and a best practice pamphlet.
Make fireworks free zones for vulnerable people and buildings.
Having complex rules and enforcing them will help ensure that the only people doing it are relatively responsible and relatively informed.

One thing that bothersme about firecracker is the length of the fuses. Would it kill them to make them 2 inches longer?
I would love to have a glimpse of hope of getting far away enough if shit goes south.

Bro not everyone is as delayed in thinking as you. Everyone knows accidents happen but like how much time do u need? I could crack half these crackers off in my bare hands u no why? Cuz I have respect for explosives un like you that wants to ban them or whatever. Respect them and it would never be a problem.

If you make the fuse too long, some will move towards the lit firecracker to check it out, such as dogs.
