    I really like 4th of July. But I wish fireworks were illegal. Why can’t everyone just buy a cake or have a house party and watch a movie or 2 and call it a night.

      Seeing an actual professional pyrotechnics show = awesome. I have great memories of going down to the civic park and just laying back in the grass and watching the show. So much fun.

      Listening to dipshits and kids in my neighborhood fuck around with illegal fireworks and maybe start a fire or hurt themselves, while my dog cowers and whines = fuck that shit.

      It’s actually growing more and more popular to ban fireworks in cities and counties.

      There are always people that bitch about their right to set off uncontrolled explosives during the height of fire season in residential areas, but overall, it’s truly growing more common to see them banned.

      My city is one, for example. And while it’s awesome to know that you can’t set them off inside the city limits, that doesn’t stop people from crossing the city line and setting shit off in that grocery store parking lot.
