So you're basically saying "Yes, it's a problem, but it doesn't affect me personally so let it be"?
🙄
Wow is this guy missing the point. Most of us who have PTSD are very happy that people have the right to do their foreworks
I feel like fireworks aren't covered by the 2nd amendment. I have spoken to plenty of veterans who were miserable when fireworks go off. They didn't go through hell to relive it. You act tough but it's not healthy.
did someone say thy are?
Yeah, the two comment OPs are giving me major https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_valor vibes.
lol you got me Im a special SGT in the Mcgyver branch of the 32nd infantry Battalions special forces division
In all honesty im not here to have to prove myself to a random internet stranger. I have a DD214 to prove my time active duty and one from my deployment with the reserves. your right I guess speaking for most. I know lots of guys who like people enjoying their freedoms within the law. illegal fireworks are definetly a problem and I have no idea where you are in the country or your laws around here and most of the 6 states ive lived in it usualy dies down around 10pm and Ive always made sure to go somewhere and do something that keeps me busy. just because I have a problem doesnt mean the whole world has to stop enjoyin themselves
That's a huge assumption not based in any sort of reality.
And, based on your replies in this post, I have no idea what Liz Lemon sees in you.
Its honestly kind of disgusting that you are accusing a victim of PTSD of lying, invalidating their mental suffering and what they've been through simply because they hold a different perspective on something from you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I have the right to drive up to your house, park on the side of the street, and blast "Baby Got Back" on a loop at 250 dB until the wee hours of the morning, but I don't do that. Because I'm not an asshole. And I'm already over-budget this year for public performance rights to songs about the buttocks. But mostly the former.
Someone else said it in another comment: Be a good neighbor - that's all we're asking.
You don't have the right to do that because almost everywhere has some kind of noise bylaw. Also, 194 dB is the maximum possible sound energy through air.
You absolutely don't have that right in any location where noise ordnance is on the books, which is most places.
Lots of localities have laws about noise. In this case it is irrelevant because it would probably fall under harassment laws in most places.
I make sure I’m not around for anything I am personally unusually sensitive to. Can’t expect society not to do any thing which anyone anywhere might not like.
How do you propose someone makes sure they aren't around any people who might be setting off fireworks? Are all veterans automatically wealthy enough to be able to stay in the middle of nowhere for two weeks??
I’ve got an idea, how about we do like Covid lockdowns but like permanently and no one’s allowed to do anything. That’ll solve it.
How about people just stick to the rules and do their fireworks on the one fucking day they're supposed to go off. Be it 4th of July in the US or NYE here in Europe.
But hey, just like with the COVID rules, people just can't manage that, right?
Who cares dogs are stupid anyway.
I love how you chose the middle ground. Clearly there is no other option between people deciding to not use fireworks in a city and another lockdown.
What are the other options? You freaks obviously want to dictate how normal every day people go about their lives. I thought you’d get an erection over the idea.
No actually, he's directly admitting he is personally affected by it, do you read English?
He's saying that his PTSD isn't everyone else's responsibility, and that they should be able to do what they want without having to be concerned if it's going to bother someone who has unique circumstances.
As opposed to all the nanny state bullshit in this thread.
Ban fireworks in cities and places where it's too dry to light them, otherwise who gives a shit.
Sure but fireworks are banned in many cities and people use them anyways. That's part of the problem
