Pyrohawk Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I live in pa and it fucking blows. I went to the neighborhood illegal firework shop a guy runs out of his garage. Keep in mind these are all 1.4g fireworks. He wants 10 or 12 roman candles. 15 fucking dollars for a box of 6 ariel shells called (combat kids). This is insane i should just go to ohio and waste that much money in gas. Yup come and buy them here in my state...but you can't set them off here! That is so ridiculous!! Here in Ohio for starters you must be 18 to buy fireworks. Then second and this is retarded.... You can buy fireworks in Ohio but it is illegal to set them off!! I'm quite serious!!! That makes no sense now does it??
_DB_ Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 No it really doesn't. I'm glad I live in an area where there aren't any stupid laws like that. I can remember when I first bought some fireworks by myself. At the ripe age of 8 I walked into a vendor and bought a 12 pack of aerial shells, no questions asked!
Mumbles Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I remember thinking I was such a badass going and buying fireworks underaged. When I finally did turn 18, I was actually kind of disappointed they didn't card me. Eh, to be fair I was buying snakes and sparklers at the time, so I can't really expect much.
Dr Boom Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Com'on Mumbles, you make it sound like you're in the 40's or something- old guy, LOL. I remember when i bought fireworks my first time, had a bunch of little stuff and I wanted to make it into one BIG thing. Well, when it fizzled out and my Dad gave me that "better luck next time" smile- I was hooked into what made it work.That was 13 years ago- my how time flies.
lacrima97 Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 I remember when I was like 12 or so, always wondering what that magical flaming powder in the bottle rockets were. I never would have thought I would find out one day.
Swany Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 Commercial fireworks are expensive for some reason here, now. Prices have not but doubled since last year. Tragic. Oh wells, more of a reason to get started on the 4th project. Goodness, I have been procrastinating!!! One week!!!
Pyrohawk Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 Heheheehh I would say I never saw a consumer firework till I was probably 13-14. This is not a joke! My dad was always very anti firework....he's came around now for the most part and doesn't mind my hobby.... so I never got any to play with as a little kid. \ Never knew what I was missing!!
ActionTekJackson Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 Well crap, sad day about pyrotube.... and the CPSC filing against UN just kinda ticks me off... What is the world gonna do when organizations like this remove all rescources for creativity and discovery... I mean WTF? How the hell do they think the US was founded, and advanced so quickly. Because people had the freedoms to pursue their own dreams, and share those dreams with others.... Grr.... The short sightedness of these organizations bugs me...
dragonman586 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 The founders are spinning in their graves as the free land that they fought for slowly turns into a dictatorship..... Land of the free my big toe.
ActionTekJackson Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Some of you may disagree with me on a personal level, but the world will cry when the US is no more... which seems to be innevitable... we're rotting from the inside..
dragonman586 Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Will the world cry or laugh in glee as the once great nation falls? And the race for supremacy begins again.
weknowpyro Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 I know for one thing if america was to crumble britain would be loosing a good allie.
Pretty green flame Posted July 10, 2006 Author Posted July 10, 2006 Some of you may disagree with me on a personal level, but the world will cry when the US is no more... which seems to be innevitable... we're rotting from the inside.. Why do you thnk so, i'm interested in hearing the facts that led you to saying that.
justanotherpyro Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 The reason I believe our country is going down hill is because we can't say no to anything. We keep on caving on our countries issues. It doesn't matter what the issues are, its the fact that we won't stop giving in. Say what you want, that " we won't let things go to far " etc..., but look back half a century and think of the things they would have said we wouldn't let happen, and they have. Granted, we are a nation of compromise, thats what has helped us since our founding. Getting rid of white only and black only public areas for instance, womens suffrage, and the list goes on. All it takes are a few bad ones though. The whole cake is good untill you put bad frosting on it, and then all of a sudden its shit. Shitty analogy, I know
DeAdFX Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Hmmm at the rate various government organizations are banning stuff I think humans would be better off at reverting to the cave man era. Ie picking up various sharp stones off the ground because its to much of a liability for a hardware store to sell a hammer and chizzle. The US would be a better place if the general public removed their heads from every single celebreties assholes. Quit idolizing some whiny ass peice of shit you unworthy scum bag and while your at it quit breathing my oxygen too.
AprenticeChemist Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 You know what im mad at is all you gay faggots going around being all gay and sucking each other off with your pussy ass rules. FUck that shit ANARCHY FOR LIFE fuck you bitchs ill go make my bombs if i like screw you guys thinking your so much better then me because I like to blow up mailboxes and throw firecrackers at dogs. FUCK YOU ALL Have a nice day with love AprenticeChemist
justanotherpyro Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Uh-huh........and its assholes like you that are the reasons the CPSC wants to ban things. Its funny in a very angering sort of way that people like you don't get it. If there weren't people like you then there wouldn't be politicians fighting to get things banned to prevent fuck-offs like yourself from doing the shit that you do. You are like a dog on the leash that thinks " Fuck you guys I'm gonna run as fast as I can and break away from this shit" which then chokes itself. Way to lynch yourself with the attitude dumb-fuck.
PyroJoe Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Ahhhhh, I love anarchists... such hard asses. Seriously, if I saw a guy on the street and I knew he was an anarchist I would fall down on my knees and hope he wouldn't kick my ass or blow me up. I want to vent about people who complain about fireworks. I can understand if the fireworks are really loud at late times when people are trying to sleep, but when you light them off at a reasonable time ESPECIALLY around the 4th of July, COME ON! A couple days ago my friends and I were lighting things off at my cousins, we were done by 11:00p.m. and a cop showed up and gave my cousin a misdemeanor charge for disturbing the peace and lighting illegal fireworks. Even though everybody else around us was doing the same thing. My uncle talked to the cop personally and the cop was on our side. He said he would have just given us a warning, but the person who complained signed some paper and the cop had to give my cousin the charge. The cop even said the court would throw it out if my cousin plead not guilty, since the court has better things to do than rape my cousin for lighting off some illegal fireworks.
Draco_Aster Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 A few venting in one post tonight First of all, I hate this 'emo' crap thats going on. I dunno if its in other countries as big as here but its driving me crazy! I went up to the shopping center for late night shopping with a few mates and over 70% of people aged between 12-25 are wearing stockings, fairy skirts, jeans tucked into jym shoes. I know its just a fad and will pass but its just fucked in the head , why don't these people find a real identity instead if copying old "happy goth/punk" styles. Not to mention all the guys look like poofs with thier makeup and stockings (yes, I saw a man wearing stockings). Hey, some people on this forum are prolly into this emo thing, pfft, its just my opinion I'm really annoyed cos' I got my distillation kit and they sent the wrong stillhead, its a size to small! Till they send me adaptors I'm just gonna do some fractional distillation with the condensor soming straight outta the RV I believe Americas grip on the world will decline. Trace what happened to all the other great superpowders of the world. The rise and fall of....America Hey, just an idea but it could happen.
Mephistos Minion Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Ahhh, the downfall of the USA. How sweet it will be. I agree with you totally on the emo issue draco. Let me re-phrase that: We need to find a "Final Solution" to the "Emo Question". Hopefully someone will get that. Almost forgot, I am pissed because I can get 10 kilos BaCO3 for $41.80 but SrCO3 is $150 for just 5 kilos! Looks like I will just have to make BaNO3 and wait till I have a job for the SrCO3. A job, another reason I am veting; I lost mine! The buisness sold and new owners gave me the boot.
Dr Boom Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Anarchist- hmm, a name/term that has carried with it so much infamy and misconception. I doubt that any other phrase used in "normal" conversation will land one in considerable hot water should the wrong ears be listening. As far as the US falling and other "super powers" taking over- that will never happen as long as pyrotech-ees like us keep up the good fight either by shadow or light (as where it belongs of course). I was given the chance to get into the soldiers of fortune once but turned it down, I still have a considerable number of friends that have some similiar holdings but these groups would not so easily let the US fall. Absolutely no chance of invasion that's for sure- even by some odd chance that the military would fail, we would have every back-woods boy and girl that can carry a rifle or make a less-colorful-antipersonnel device rushing to protect their fore father's land. Smirk or laugh if you want but it would be us in the last line of defense for this great nation- I'm proud to be an American and eat my Burger King Whopers!
Rogue Chemist Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 Whats the diff between 'emo' and goth anyway? Not that many of either up here. IMO, it beats the whole 'gangsta' shit that is going on. For venting: Gah...I was just quoted 80$ a kilo for a lanthanum ingot, the proff I work under got his for 32$ from the same supplier. And germanium was 200$ for 100g.
Mumbles Posted July 13, 2006 Posted July 13, 2006 He probably gets and educational discount. I know when I worked at the lab, we got like 30% off everything from Fisher Scientific, Sigma-Aldrich, all those fun places.
Pyrohawk Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 Dr Boom thats very true.... I once heard a comedian do a whole skit about it. He was like.... "if we are ever invaded, by the time the enemy army reaches the beach there will be rednecks crawling from the woods to meet them. So by the time the army gets there all that will be left is some empty shotgun shells and beer cans! Yeah the Emo Punks are big around here to. They are kinda taking over.....guys with long hair and ridiculous clothing and girls with short hair and ridiculous clothing. A whiny, the government hates us everyones out to get us attitude..... Bad music...... and very Kewl like personalities. Plus they get all the girls, how the hell is that fair??
dragonman586 Posted July 14, 2006 Posted July 14, 2006 I cant stand emo tards. They complain about everything... Here are my solutions. 1) Start beating your kids early. 2) (For the existing emos) Mass distriburion of razorblades covered with leech juice so they can't clot. (Laughs maniacally).......*cough*
