Here is our government in action again telling us how to run our lives. I'm sorry, but we appoint you. You work for us for blood sucking leeches. He's an idea Labour, why don't you focus on the stuff that really matters you incompetent bunch of fucken morons.

1) You murder people in our hospitals with incompetence
2) You create little labourites in our schools that can't spell, speak English or think for themselves
3) Going over the speed limit by 10 k's is more of a crime and a higher priority than robbery and violence
4) You tax the fuck out of us and don't provide a good standard of living so 650 of us leave a week. You replace these with Labour voting 3rd world immigrants
5) You're anti business, so kiwi companies can't compete and end up being sold to multinationals
6) You're the most corrupt government NZ has ever had...

And you're worried about fireworks?

Guy Fawkes had the right idea.

[jetboy]

haha I reckon. Such a beautiful country but what an incompetent government! And they wonder why people are getting sick and tired of this crap and heading overseas

[The_Dover]

settle petal, you can sell up and fuck off soon.

the rest of us are too poor to leave!

[Wasp]

better make it this year that I blow up my L plate then

[Motu]

Driven by dumbfucks who blame the fireworks and not the dumbfuck with the match.

Mind you I was pretty fucking stupid with fireworks when they were a damn sight more dangerous than they are these days....but I was still smarter than kids these days because I was educated under the Holyoak National Government schooling system - straps and canes.

[Swoop]

Finn (& Motu), you are so damn right on all those counts!

Fuc*en nanny state....

[SpankMe]

For fucks sake, thats what the bloody firemen are paid for. They should just shut the fuck up and do their job.

[Squeak the Rat]

The Government says it is not prepared to accept another Guy Fawkes Day like last year's, which kept emergency service workers busy attending to hundreds of fires and injuries

While we completely encourage our hospital waiting rooms to be full of victims of assault. That problems too hard, lets ban crackers.

[Ixion]

The dreary gray brigade attack again. Haunted by the horrifying terrible fear that someone, somewhere, might be having fun

[The Stranger:Me]

For fucks sake, thats what the bloody firemen are paid for. They should just shut the fuck up and do their job.

They spend most of their time training, or sitting around waiting or attending false alarms.
Would have thought they would like a bit of action once in a while to break the boredom.

"I don't want to restrict people's freedom," Mr Benson-Pope said.

Presumably while shovelling a tennis ball into another reporter's mouth.

But, really, read between the lines - is the problem here the government, nanny state, or a general lack of personal responsibility. Are there firework related "accidents" or firework related "behaving like a twat" incidents? Are they people who should know better, or people who should learn to keep their kids under control. Or under water, in some cases.

Perhaps the problem is the fireworks themselves. The ones we get here are a *lot* more dangerous than the ones I used to get in England. And, no, I'm not about to do a "it was better back home" speech because it wasn't but the fireworks did have better safety standards, were not imported from China and sucked more.

Perhaps that's the answer. Perhaps people would buy fewer "home" fireworks if they sucked. Perhaps people would go to public displays if they didn't suck. More hot chicks at public firework displays, that's what I reckon. It's for safety mmmmkay?

Fireworks are fun, but some people let them off all year round which isn't fun if you have a pet. One night or even one week isn't to bad.

The mini sky rockets and a plastic pipe was really fun though.

[The_Dover]

fuck it, make your own.

[ManDownUnder]

Fireworks are dangerous - ban them.
Guns are dangerous too

As are cars, planes, bikes (dare I say it... wooooooo), cell phones, electicity, water... blah blah blah blah blah.

OK - so fireworks are not "essential" - i.e. they're recreational only. So is motor sport, so is..

BAH HUMBUG. Stock up every year this year guys and gals. We wit till they've outlawed them and have a guyfawkes party to end them all.

[Squeak the Rat]

Like the government saying the other day that we can't ban cellphones in cars because then we'd have to ban all other things that distract drivers when they should be concentrating on the road. Like eating pies or putting on make up.

WTF are you on about you bunch of incompetent feacal remains of pond scum?


This can't be reality.
