1. Join the crowd
We drove 500 miles to a place where we thought we were safe and guess what? the ****ers are blowing their wads off everywhere
It is totally beyond me that idiots are willing to spend big bucks to blow their money up
Until the Federal Govt makes it illegal to sell fireworks on the reservations this will never stop and every year how many thousands of pets and people are traumatized and lost.
We tried for two years to go to Canada and again the border was closed. So here we are drugging our pets into oblivion. This country gets sicker all the time.
^^^primitive racism again, this time against Native Americans seeking to make a few bucks

53. same here I have sensitivity issues..
Fireworks are pretty to look at wish they exploded in silence though.
Don't like being in big chaotic crowds .
I hate it when buttholes in cars or on bikes loudly zoom thier engines or the ****ing fart engine things. I just hate cars ad motorized vehicles they are hideous noise..and startle the **** out of me.
^^^the subway cat, who's a grossly obese heavily tattooed mid-50s woman with a nose ring, earrings, lower-lip ring, navel ring, who usually wears tank-tops about eight sizes too small for her, and fluorescent purple hair frosted with gold, has whined about this before, and not necessary on any 4th of July.
When one sees her walking down a sidewalk, the natural impulse is to alarmingly honk the horn.

54. I have those same issues, I_UndergroundPanther!
Fireworks are being set off in our neighborhood as I sit here right now and I am on edge. I do not care for crowds one bit. Loud noises startle me. i feel the way you do about cars and motorcycles.
When I was a little girl my stepfather would take our family to these races with two cars that were really, really long in front; he called those cars "rails.". They would sit and rev their engines while waiting for a light in front of them to turn green and they would take off and go super fast down the track until little parachutes came out of the back of the cars to help them slow down. I have never heard anything so loud in my life as those cars.
Those days were miserable for me, honestly. The hot California sun, the smells of gas and oil and car exhaust, the boredom of sitting for hours as he indulged his hobby with very little thought of any of us four kids, and the excruciatingly loud noise.....well, it was a special kind of torment, really.
I am happy to know that I have friends at DU who can understand what it is like to be highly sensitive.
Her old man sounds like a typical primitive, "very little thought for any of us."
By the way, a little further upthread, one notices a new acronym that's going to catch on fast, on Skins' island--"HSP," or "highly sensitive person."
Watch and see if I'm not right; within a week, this will be the most popular malady on Skins' island, HSP.
Anyway, there's lots more primitive whining on this thread.
