  Yeah no. We all joke at the VFW about this argument and I have yet to meet someone who actually experiences some shit that does the “fireworks scary!” stuff.

  I am certain they are out, but most of us don’t care. What we do care about is being used as a whole to justify some anti firework agenda. Most of us like them.

      Hey great. Next drink at the VFW is on me.

      I hope you have made a claim for the PTSD, you can directly cite fireworks as an issue. Let me know if you need help filing. No personal information need be exchanged, just help in filling out forms and what to do next.

    And coyotes!

    I lost all love for the 4th of July when the sun was going down and I saw a beautiful coyote across my fence like 5 feet from me. He locked eyes with me and looked so terrified, it took a little bit of my soul. He was panting so hard. He was even looking at me like he was pleading me to help him, but I couldn’t because he’s, well, a coyote. He stayed looking at me for almost 2 whole minutes before he went back into the brush.

    I still think about that every 4th.

      Anyone that can feel pity for coyotes is a good egg.

    If you join the army because you’re fucking stupid in your 20s, and by your 50s you’ve become a wise, anti-war person who still has PTSD, you don’t deserve to get your PTSD triggered.

  Try spending a new year’s eve in e.g. Germany.

  everybody above the age of 15 can and will start fireworks in close vicinity to everyone else doing it. You do not feel safe.
