- Akairenn, on 06/30/2009, -3/+36Oh bugger off, science. I'm tired of your beady little eyes and that smug look on your face. "Oh, everything fun is going to kill you or mutate your cells horribly! Oh!"
- inactive, on 06/30/2009, -4/+27Everyone is going to die from something. Stop sucking the fun out of life, okay?
Thanks. - cheddaro, on 06/30/2009, -1/+20When my city starts putting on a $100,000 fireworks display every weekday, I'll start worrying about this.
- FervinsUlterius, on 06/30/2009, -5/+19BREAKING NEWS - Aging hippie douches are running out of ***** to bitch about
- rockon4life45, on 06/30/2009, -2/+16They could give me insta-cancer and I'd still shoot em.
- zbeast, on 06/30/2009, -1/+13Well as long as you don't eat them I don't see the problem.
- jurassiqpark, on 06/30/2009, -1/+12the word 'organic,' added to everything at the grocery store, wastes an extra ___ tons of ink per year, thus adding to the global warmings.
- KenSPT, on 06/30/2009, -0/+7Lets suck the fun out of everything ...
- JordanM85, on 06/30/2009, -1/+7Who wants to live in a world with no fireworks?
- ariel, on 06/30/2009, -0/+5Dugg for awkward, but still technically correct, usage of "they're."
- kuwan, on 06/30/2009, -3/+8Shut the ***** up and enjoy the pretty lights!
- xenuxenuts, on 06/30/2009, -2/+7Come back when you get out of middle school.
- whiplash65, on 06/30/2009, -1/+5"Maybe not, but it's still not entirely clear how fireworks affect ecological health. While they haven't been directly linked to any widespread outbreaks of disease, it's not always easy to pin down why someone developed hypothyroidism, anemia or cancer."
so there is no evidence, but we are going to worry about it anyway? come on - ChromaVita, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3I live in Orlando. ***** Disney...
- Spo8, on 06/30/2009, -4/+7Just another attempt by the far left commies to destroy america.
- cuoops, on 06/30/2009, -0/+3I normally don't have a burger, a brat, and a steak, but it is the Fourth of July. And I'm going to need the energy if I'm going to be blowing crap up. It's what the Founding Fathers would want.
-Jim Gaffigan - jamaph, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3Uh uh - No! not fireworks. I get to blow ***** up ONE DAY out of the whole ***** year, and they aren't taking that away from me.. and IF THEY PRESS HARDER THEN ***** THEM. I'll call SEAN HANNITY AND TELL HIM THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP
INDEPENDENCE DAY
*****. - milomilomilo, on 06/30/2009, -2/+4Buried for being ridiculous.
So the article said their is scant evidence to support this crap and than goes on about how deadly the stuff is.
Though some of the gases and particulate may be dangerous it is in such small amounts high over head, where it is in such low concentrations that its pretty unlikely any of it is going to harm anyone.
This seems sort of like someone pointing out the dangers of tap water because they just heard tap water contains chlorine.
:/ - Railz, on 06/30/2009, -1/+3The Sun is as useful as it is a carcinogen. Big whoop.
- inactive, on 06/30/2009, -2/+4DisneyWorld puts on a huge show everyday. I hear they're putting Cancerville right next to Fantasyland.
- electronicdream, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2*****
You're welcome. - Spinducky08, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2Alternative fireworks?
Without Floyd/Zeppelin playing in the background and no ganja?
Aw, HELL NO! - woodyex1, on 06/30/2009, -3/+4Here come the hippies. Seriously people brighten the ***** up. Al Gore is profiting off of your emotional connection to "saving the planet". When Mt. St. Helen's erupted it put out far more carbon than man could have ever done. I realize that this story is about contaminating our surroundings with fireworks but it fits that general environmentalist ***** blogging.
- Langford, on 06/30/2009, -0/+1Poison? Thats a bummer. Well, at least I can still watch my screensaver.
- User000, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Why does the story refer to radioactive strontium? Aluminum, copper, barium, rubidium, cadmium (and just about any other element) CAN be radioactive. That does NOT automatically make them so.
- SexyJesus, on 06/30/2009, -1/+2then all the people in south central Los Angeles must have cancer..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mthEl2-6ATM - Ghostwo, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Most of it's just speculation. Too much 'science isn't sure if...' in there. Also implies that fireworks are radioactive.
- Ender06, on 06/30/2009, -1/+2***** you! I'm going to be a hazard to low flying aircraft, and LOVE it!
- Briones07, on 06/30/2009, -1/+2"Fireworks As Fun As They Are Toxic?" reads better.
I had to do it - Julian88888888, on 06/30/2009, -1/+2well, I can honestly say that whole thing is propaganda and obviously slanted.
- tomarocco, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Bottle Rocket War: You Green Pansies vs. The Rest of Us with our Dixie Whistlers
- ghinwachannel, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1wawwwwwwww..This situation is bad !!! It is damaging to nature
- t0ny, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Well they say nothing about that on the warning label.
- pw378, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1ding ding ding! We have a winner.
If you don't stand up for the rights of those you disagree with, there will be nobody around to stand up for your rights when they try to take them away. - inactive, on 07/01/2009, -1/+2FYI a common method in China of getting rid of toxic waste is to put it in manufactored items that are exported. One of the biggest offenders of this toxic dumping is in the manufactoring of fireworks for export. Everything form waste petrochemicals, pesiticides and who knows what else.
To give you an idea of the scale of this type of dumping: Last summer a Chineese bottle water company got caught mixing water with waste from a plactics manufactoring plant and clear waste water from water treatment plants. Chinesse authorities claimed a few dozen died from this water but people on the street generally accept that several thousand died from this water. - inactive, on 06/30/2009, -2/+3Either you forgot the /sarcasm or you are a complete moron. Now we just have to figure out which.
- fucter, on 07/01/2009, -2/+3isn't this the same digg base that hates cigarette smokers, loves pot smokers and now wants everyone to "shut up and let me have some fun, we are all going to die from something someday"?
- Technopundit, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Fireworks should never be used as directed.
Raise hell. It's the 4th. - cheezintern, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1fireworks don't blow off fingers, stupid kids do.
- zdiggler, on 06/30/2009, -3/+3Don't FART. Don't have Kid, every human been has its carbon foot print. Don't drive, don't *****.
WTF is this *****.
Hybird cars suck the Driving out of the Driving!
Now bitching about Fireworks, WTF. Firework are FUN and we need more of it!! - inactive, on 06/30/2009, -3/+3I am so sick of these absolutely ass backward 'scientists' and their doom and gloom *****. These are the same types of moron that believe that global warming is valid science. Guess what, fireworks are fun and it gets hot in summer and cold in winter. REAL ***** SIMPLE TO UNDERSTAND!
- zdiggler, on 06/30/2009, -2/+2Where is the BANG and SMOKE in the stupid laser light show!
- SoCalDissident, on 06/30/2009, -2/+2Like everything else Made In China...
But, what happens to the chemicals after they explode/burn? Do they turn into anything else, combine to form...? - rrife, on 07/01/2009, -1/+1Shouldn't it read "Firework as toxic as they are fun?" since we all know how fun they are, it's the toxicity you're trying to surprise with.
- pw378, on 07/01/2009, -1/+1When they came after the smokers, you slackers sat back and did nothing... now they are taking away your fireworks, sportscar, trucks, Cap&Trading taxing your electric bill, and even slapping taxes on your soda... and you finally begin to wake up, but its TOO LATE! They control everything now. Congress, Senate, Presidency, the Supreme Court.....
- zdiggler, on 06/30/2009, -1/+1Firework are cool, I hear they are organic.
- pw378, on 07/01/2009, -1/+1nope, Cap & Trade taxes will make it too expensive to run your computer. Besides, a solar powered OLPC is all anyone needs anyway according to Pelosi and Obama.
- mrdatawolf, on 07/01/2009, -0/+0I buried it for the same reason.
