Other - Society & Culture - 2 November 2006

I hate it when it gets closer to November the 5th. I wouldn't mind if it was like in Germany where they only sell Fireworks on the day that the let them off. But no, here in England they sell them about 2 weeks before so that the idiots can buy them.

To me, a ban on the retail sale of fireworks would be ideal. I think for what you pay, what you get is utter rubbish. Public displays are much better organised, sometimes free and people's safety is taken care of.

Each year there are news stories about people who have burnt their faces or hands, stories of some sick individual who has put a banger through an old ladies letter box or blowing up phone boxes with them.

I'm not saying outlaw sparklers, cos kids love the things - I used to love them when I was younger, but fireworks are just plane dangerous in the wrong hands and it seems that we're just too lax here on who buys them.

Also, who can you protect your pets for 2 weeks while people are just letting them off everywhere?!

why is suicide by hanging the most popularly used amongst men, if its so painful?

also, do you die by suffocation (like the feeling of drowning) or is their something else involved? (as i read that it takes around 3 minutes to become unconscious)

Some people can and do rent suites in Las Vegas for $40,000 a night while some kids in Darfur are too weak from hunger they can't brush flies off their face.

What enjoyment do people get from wasting your time.They ring you up and say they are coming over to see an item you have for sale or for some other reason and that is the last you hear from them. I always keep my appointments if not I always let the person know so I don't waste thier time

I realise that sometimes we all curse,when we are in trouble,or when we hurt ourselves ...it is perfectly normal(males and females).
But I just heard a young girl of my age cursing-using the curse words instead of commas,I don't like when a man curses but when a girl does it is horrible...and I heard lots of girls cursing when there is no need to.
What's your opinion?

This site is interesting and fun but so many contributions are almost unreadable. I don't count people who are using a language that is not their first language. Mind you goodness knows what language some people are using!
