    No we wont. We are making some of the same mistakes as other countries do like make it more and more and more illegal instead of loosening some of the drug laws. But here the goverment thinks if something is a little bad (even fireworks or some trivial shit) we need to outlaw it immediately make it more illegal. We tend to want to ban everything that even a small group complains about (and i mean like 100 ppl or something) because that always works… right? But then again the government was mostly conservatives and old grey christians. (Maybe that will change /s) Oh i forgot, we are not the relaxed country anymore that we were 20’years ago. Now they just want more more more more MORE laws because, well thats the sollution to everything? We call it “betutteling” and its rampend

      As someone who had part of a fireworks display literally drop on their head 6 days ago: Yeah, it looks cool, but everything that goes up, has to go down eventually. Might want to keep that in mind when handing out rockets left, right and center.

      Never thought about where “betütteln” originated from but now that you mention it: Yep, that sounds like something a “swamp German” would say.

        Ok so we should just ban everything then? Because that always works?

        Yeah its funny how many of these kinda words end up almost the same in german/swedish/dutch. Then again swamp germans? Haha
