    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.

      I’ve always thought that we do it because it’s safer than firing guns into the air.

        And to be fair, both options are safer than just walking around with a torch igniting buildings and people.
