If we argue about necessity well just end up in the kind of argument that can logically lead to voluntary extinction.

This is doesn't make any sense and the strangest attempt at a red herring I've come across on Lemmy, there is no necessity. Period. It's still Independence Day whether or not you scare pets and veterans. You can celebrate with a BBQ like every other holiday. Basically you typed a lot of words just to say you don't care how your actions effect others, or that your two seconds of pleasure is worth the well being of animals and neighbors.

Who are you to dictate what is and isn’t appropriate way to celebrate?

Many people are considerate about it as well as take efforts to do it safely.

Yea you can celebrate in other ways, but then again, right back at you.

You ar absolutely right there is no necessity, shit there is no necessity tot he whole fucking holiday.

But if you look into the history of the fourth, you’ll see there are connections, not just tradition either.

I find this ironic because it can easily be reversed. Basically you typed a lot of words just to say you don’t care how or where the fireworks occur, bottom line they are bad

Can you drop the hyperbole and look at it rationally? Why is your stance “fuck all fireworks for the good of everyone”, and not “do it somewhere else”?

WE CAN ACCOMMODATE BOTH

I am impacted negatively by fireworks but I recognize that isn’t grounds to shout anyone down that isn’t negatively impacted. All I need is it just to not happen near my house. Simple as that

I'm Dee.

That's good for them.

Ah, the "no u" rebuttal when it doesn't make contextual sense. A classic.

You ar absolutely right there is no necessity, shit there is no necessity tot he whole fucking holiday.

Now you're getting it!

Lmfao

Yes.

Because even if they're done somewhere else it's still creating needless waste with what's left behind regardless of location, it's still releasing unnecessary pollutants into the atmosphere for what? So you can stare for a split second at a big flashy light? Is your life so dull? That's not even getting into all the fires that are started every year.

WE CAN ACCOMMODATE BOTH

No.

Everybody is negatively impacted, it's a dumb reason to produce extra pollutants when the same show could be accomplished by other means mentioned in my original comment. Again, not even touching all the damage to property, the ecosystem and to lives through the fires caused by fireworks every year.

I repeat, fuck fireworks.

everyone is negatively impacted x

This is simply untrue and indefensible, but you clearly just want to lift YOUR OPINION to fact status. That’s not how it works.

The world doesn’t exist in black and white, why are you so desperate to paint it as such? You’re tripping over yourself to deliver hyperbole after hyperbole
