I'm about to sound all unpatriotic here but, sometimes I just hate the Fourth of July. In the weeks preceding it, and even for sometime after, you have people setting off firecrackers late into the night. Especially the night of the Fourth. People have absolutely no common sense about them as to what is a decent hour to do such a thing. There is no reason in the world to still keep going after 11 or even around midnight. Some bounce off my house for crying out loud. People have small children trying to sleep and having loud cracks outside their window isn't exactly conducive to a sound sleep. For children or their parents. Firecrackers are even illegal here and it doesn't seem to stop anyone. :tsk::149:

Yeah, cops look the other way on the 4th of July when it comes to fireworks. At least where i live they tend to. I do agree with you in the inconveniences of it, though i didn't really have those issues this year for some reason, lol.

You might not want to visit Lebanon, then. :p It seemed like they were setting off fireworks after every World Cup match. Then, of course, you have fireworks for weddings, holidays, just for fun....

Canada (or at least the Windsor Heath Department) has also declared war on certain Lebanese food, apparently:

Health unit bans Lebanese meat dish
I figured it'd be one of the raw dishes. We usually say 'kibbeh nayyi', because there is kibbeh that isn't raw.

It actually tastes rather good. And us Lebanese have steel stomachs: well, some of us. :p We'll get food poisoning and go back to the same restaurant... mostly because we don't realize we got food poisoning. Hygiene makes you weak!

I wonder if they serve raw liver, too.

Reasonably, once he left the protected area he was no longer "doing his job," and so acted as a good semaritan. In that scenario, he was only fired only for leaving his job.

Sometimes I suspect alleged journalism articles are actually being written by monkeys with clever writing software.

It's still a terrible reason though. As for that particular article, that was just the first one I found to post it here, that it did happen.

And people wonder why no one helps anyone anymore.:facepalm: It's a sad world nowadays. That guy should have been commended, not fired.

Protecting Migratory Soaring Birds - YouTube

If I had Facebook, I'd plaster that everywhere.

"Look darling, in English, isn't your hobby known as 'to shoot'? Yeah, me too, 'to shoot'."

And then she keeps telling him not to shoot the birds, saying what they're called and how they're helpful: one's good for agriculture, one eats thousands of bugs, and the last is basically a generic migratory bird. Awesome video.

Now I want to find out about SPNL. Apparently their website has been suspended (they probably haven't paid their fees). I can't remember the last time I saw a working website from them. Hopefully they haven't moved their location, because I'm planning to pass by sometime and see if I can help at all. Can't turn down help from a bird, can they?
