hopefully the geezers that are living there and complaining will die soon and their repeated complaints will no longer be received

Today you do it all from a computer.
"Why the hell did I buy a house next to the sewage treatment plant? When I saw it on the internet it looked like it would smell great living here."

“Over the summer, we have entertained several times, and we have had guests sit up in shock when the cannon goes off,” the resident wrote. “It has also awakened them at 8 a.m. while they are vacationing and then blasted them again at sunset.”

Yep something done twice day for over 200 years all of sudden is a "Shock"

In bed at 8:00AM then again at sunset? Yeah I'm always grumpy if I don't get a least 12 hours sleep a day.

Sooooo here's what I would do:

Turn UP the volume.
Increase the amount of GP (safely) BIG BOOM!
And not only keep the blasts but increase the duration.

And for all those that don't stop long enough while our Nations Anthem is being played to pay respect PROPERLY, I'd have some sort of red light camera system set up within a four block radius. Then, I'd mail 'em all tickets.

(Said in best Thurston Howell the 3rd voice) "Dear gawd, Luvey. What was that? Remind me to buy that boat in the morning. The nerve of them honouring those dirty people that kill and hate peace..... MY PEACE. Ha Haaaaa!"

Common sense. I think it's becoming extinct. As long as dignity and respect doesn't interfere with YOUR dignity and respect, who cares. We are becoming a peoples of 'me first' intelligence.

Those complainers ought to know it is the sound of freedom they are hearing.



..I like the idea!
(it would be 'up' though as the USS Massachusetts is moored in Fall River, which is south of Boston)
I've visited both ships and it was truly an honor to stand on those hallowed decks.

They should be keel-hauled, seized to a grating and flogged, proper Navy way

More whining about things by people who have no gratitude for the fact that they are Free to do that whining.

I hate them deeply.

I prefer tying them in front of the muzzle of a 32lb cannon, and firing it.

asshats like this are everywhere. Some real estate developer puts up a fancy sub-division next to a centuries old farm....and then the yuppies complain about the smell. This happens ALL the time..........some people don't deserve oxygen.

The thing to do here is make more noise in support of USS Ironsides than the idiots make against her
