Are fireworks hazardous to our health?

Who thinks fireworks are overused?

  • They all look the same and aren't fun anymore, bloody row! I never tire of a good bonfire though, roasting hedgehogs over an open fire with loads of green smokey wood, poor feckers. Burning naff effigies, Guy Faulkes was on our side folks! stupid tradition. Bah! But my late Grandmother used to work in a fireworks factory, it helped her feed her 7 kids and 8 step children. But that was in the good old days when a box of fireworks were pennies and you just looked forward to one catherine wheel, that's all I cared for. Does anyone know who Catherine was? And why do people continue to act careless with those bombs we call fireworks, is this sort of terrorism to enviroment, wildlife and National health resources, exceptable? And why? Surely it should be banned in public places like smoking.

  • Answer:

    If you are a Catholic then Guy Fawkes was on your side but definitely not if you were a Protestant king. Catherine was a Christain martyr who the Romans put to death on a flaming wheel. Geddit. I would say that fireworks should be banned in 'private' places because they're the ones that annoy. Public displays are licensed and stop at reasonable times. Try telling your chavvy neighbours to quieten down when they've just bought a bumper box of fireworks to celebrate young D4RR3N just getting out of the nick.

fireworks are sold by bad shop keepers to kids, who will spend the next 2 months letting them of and making my dogs shake. it seems we cannot have public displays as it against health and safety rules, so obviously much safer for 9 year olds to be letting off fireworks than an organised display

I do. I agree with you. They are a pain in the as$. I like to see a few,it's pretty,but they go on and on until 3am. And people let them off in the day. I live in a big estate and everyone has them in their garden on bonfire night. It sounds like a war zone for hours. I like bonfires though very much, as long as there were no hedgehogs of course. That's terrible.

My dear Penny, Don't you realize that the easiest way to get rid of stupid people is to give them a couple of gallons of whiskey and 10 pounds of fireworks? Seriously. I have photographic evidence.

errm fireworks are really not helping the global warming thing and thats why i hate Big Brother Ath the final! its such an overuse and they should be only able to be bought by someone who looks mature to the shopkeeper because i heard a story that some kids threw one as a stick for a dog and well, you get the picture. Its horrible and should be banned! they only look good on the outside!

Catherine Wheel was a good band. I've never heard of the name before, always wondered where the band got their name. As far as fireworks go, I can enjoy them two or three times a year. Where I live, you can't purchase a single good one, but the city puts on a pretty fantastic show (a thousand times better than what is available to the public) a couple times a year. It' over the river, so no fire hazard, and the city can shoot off a lot of stuff and overall there is less pollution than if everyone was doing it themselves. I don't agree they should be banned, but I think they could be limited even more. I think they're headed that way generally, though. Edit - I thought the Catherine wheel was a torture device, so I looked it up. Here's a link. Enjoy. http://home.comcast.net/~burokerl/catherine_wheel.htm
