Should we ban fireworks?

[Guardian.]

i say lets ban boiled eggs, they can explode in the microwave, its a travesty they are still sold to the public.

and wellington boots as they can fill up with water and get your feet wet.

and what about nissan micras,lethal, they get stuck in my 4x4 mud tyre tread sometimes causing so much damage id have to buy a new tyre.

ps.
while im sorting the country out, i think we should have chip and pin machines strapped to our heads charging us for the air we breath, and perhaps charge more per litre than petrol.

Why don't we ban 4x4's, or motorcycles, or hangliders, or horse riding, or fishing - or a hundred other activities which might up-set a few nimby's. Perhaps its time to teach responsible use and or pursuit of such activities. After all these asbo kids are all someones sons or daughters. Lets get back to proper action/consequence/punishment mentoring so that kids grow up to accept responsibility for their actions and know there will be a real punishment if they step out of line.

Well said glaggs

you'll never stop the low rent chav from spoiling any knid of activity without the right kind of deterant or punishment for their actions. Why should the upstanding members of society always be the ones to suffer because of scum, banning things is the easy way out.

Here's a daring thought - I was stood outside last night contemplating the world with a cuppa tea and realised how much the worldd has changed. Some time back, fireworks were largely pretty lights with a few pops, bangs and whizzes thrown in for heck and giggles. Domestic fireworks now seem to emphasise noise. Dirty great chunks of ordnance bought because we want the rocket with the biggest bang for our buck (literally)

I've had dogs and cats in the past, and trees full o' owls, all of which go beserk with the new generation fireworks. The owls never returned.

So how about we keep fireworks but put a noise limit on them (organised displays and invasions of small countires excepting)?

Mind you on Saterday night they were almost drowned out by the v8 stock-cars at the track 4 miles away! Sweeeeeeet!  :twisted:

Just a thought
Cheers
