Does America and Europe have its own equiv. to Firework night?
 

Or is it just us English (and Asian countries that use them for religious festivals) that have to suffer about a week of not being able to hear the telly?

Ban 'em I say, except for official public displays. They give dogs heart attacks too. And make the air stink.

In USA fireworks are ussually sold (where legal) at new year's and at the 4th of july for independence day. (fuck the british!!!! eat our shit! ha ha!)

They sell for a week or so before the holiday and stop on midnight after the holiday. I fucking love fireworks of all types and used to spend my alllowance on fireworks every summer and new years. great memories, of excploding shit and putting firecrackers in ant piles....

either

a.) get louder tele speakers
b.) move into a better built home that's 99.99999999% soundproof
c.) move to the country
d.) deal with it

fireworks rule


you ever get drunk and throw black cats at your friends?
that shit is mad next level

i had loads of fun doing fireworks and bonfires last night. note to self though, bonfires make all your clothes stink for days.

we warned our neighbours beforehand so they could protect the animals they have. i always kept my cat inside when it was bonfire night.

that was the first time in years that i was actually in the country for bonfire night!

Carry on with that nonsense and we'll make you eat your own shit.

we made the Queen our BITCH!

and the $ worth nothing. even supermodels dont want it anymore.

In France, there are usually fireworks on 14 July to celebrate the Bastille Day

I hate fireworks. We celebrate our country's independence by blowing MILLIONS of the tax payer's money on explosives on independence day. You think if we were in debt, we could spare the flashy displays and feed some hungry people, huh?

america celebrates our country by starting open-ended "wars" aagainst tiny, militarily insignificant opponents that cost BILLIONS and makes rich fat white men richer and fatter

America, Fuck Yeah!

That's just because they are annorexic.

Fireworks are banned around a lot of the usa (wherever I'm living, seemingly)...I remember Chinese New Year or 4th of July here in New York city in the 80's - the streets were literally carpeted with used up bottle rockets - but Herr Ghouliani put a stop to that. What? an unregulated celebration? NOT IN GHOULIANITOWN. Sorry for that aside.

I've always lived close to fireworks but not enough for them to ruin tv, whatever. A drive away, really. First it was Disneyland in Anaheim which, again, is just a car ride. And now I live in San Francisco and their fireworks over the warf are fucking amazing. But I live on te other side of town.

So I get my explosive cake and can watch it, too.

Terrorism.

A week? I remember my first year in London. Fucking fireworks night, Eid, Diwalli [sp], Hannukah, New Year, Chinese New Year... and every fucker letting off fireworks to celebrate any one of the aformentioned. In fairness, I expect there were some Christians setting off fireworks for Jesus day as well. I was not bothered by fireworks until there was months of the fuckers outside my window for any reason imaginable. You can say what you like about Londoners, but they certainly like pissing me off with their fucking bangy fuckers.

berlin has new years firework madness like nothing else i have seen. parents giving small kids lit fireworks to throw and just about everyone in the street firing them off everywhere. i would like to see the statistics for firework related injury in berlin.
