Unless your goal is to set off car alarms, scare people’s pets, and upset veterans who have ptsd. Then, they are amazing. Equally amazing for signalling you are an inconsiderate dick. Other people don’t want to see or listen to your display of insecurity and lack of self satisfaction. Want to see the flashy boom boom in the sky? Go to fucking disney world. Otherwise, leave the other 99% of us alone.

    I thought I was pretty clear. I think calling out your friend by name as an anecdote to back some point in an internet argument is a shitty thing to do. PTSD was already brought up in this thread, but for some reason you felt the need to pull Christian into it? Gross.

    Yes, I did the exact same thing to show how fucking stupid this line of reasoning is. There are so many vets who love fireworks, why does Christian get to keep them from that? Stop using veterans as pawns in your arguments, it’s disgusting.

    If you think the needs of veterans with PTSD are worth banning all fireworks, just say that and be done with it.

      Which wasn’t what I was doing. I was trying to provide a real world example of what PTSD looks like since you don’t seem to get it. I was trying o humanize the problem and you seem to lack the empathy and compassion to understand this.

      The fact you brought up your supposed connections to service members to “score a point” when they don’t have PTSD is weird, hypocritical, and gross.

      You need to work on your compassion because you clearly lack it.

        No, you’re doing this bullshit where either I agree with you or I don’t “support the vets”, straight out of the Republican playbook. It’s a gross tactic to use. Make your argument without bringing someone else’s personal struggles into this. If you think your vet buddy is more important than mine, say that with your chest.

          No, you’re doing this bullshit where either I agree with you or I don’t “support the vets”,

          No, again I was trying to provide a real example of how PTSD impacts people. You seem to not get how PTSD works. I was trying to show you an example if what that looked like unfortunately you decided that this was a moral pissing match which it wasn’t.

          Your reaction was immature and inappropriate.

            Oh please, save it for someone willing to buy that. You’re bent out of shape because I wasn’t swayed by your attempt at emotional manipulation.
