Ever been to Bangkok or Jakarta on New Year's? There are kids playing with fireworks letting them off in the street, throwing them at their mates -- it's a war! And the adults don't give a shit!

Bangkok is basically the East Oakland of East Asia so it doesn't surprise me

Gotta have a little bit of darkness within you just to survive. You gotta stoop low everyday it seems like. Stoop all the way down to the devil in these times. And then one day you look in the mirror and you realize that you ain't you anymore. You're just another monster, and thanks to your actions, someone else will eventually become as warped and twisted as you. Never forget that the best of us are just the best of a bad lot. Being at the top of a pile of feces doesn't make you anything but shit like the rest. Never forget that.

Traumatizing for pets? My cat loves seeing fireworks, she always watches every firework show that happened to be visible from the front yard.

.....you do know that we all have that phase of being rebellious towards parents?
Well, sometimes I think parents gotta say things differently so their kids would do the otherwise :p

Well yea, but at least I just took stuff from other peoples' pockets, went into haunted places, and beat people up for money at that phase instead of handling a frickin' explosive like it's a toy :p

Not to me. I like the colour and the patterns rather than the explosions.

How would I enjoy fireworks then? The explosion is the entirety of the point. The more interesting the noise the better.

“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles." - Jeff Cooper
