    1. Wow, all that destruction over human reproduction. A party so that woman can celebrate the fact that a man stuck his junk inside of her, and knocked her up. As if that’s something special. Then again, maybe this mom weighs 500 pounds, and the fact that should found a man willing to bang her was a miracle in itself. And she literally set the world on fire so that everyone would know that her egg got fertilized with male sperm. Real nice, I’m sure all those people whose property got destroyed are happy that a female pulled down her pants and let a male insert his junk inside of her.

    2. @ML That is why blue collar people should never befriend yuppies. I’ll take beer and cribbage and horseshoes over shopping for gifts.

    1. @tyrone b It probably happens more than we know. I just wonder IF anyone ever really pays for their stupidity. How do you get millions of dollars from an average Joe?

  1. Charge them. They literally made people homeless during a pandemic. Stupid people. What part of no FIRES of any kind. Charge them. Didn’t this happen a few ago years already?

    1. @Elizabeth Frantes Good morning, perhaps we will all be purple, a really royal people. There has always been homelessness but I’m not sure right now who or what group is responsible for defunding the mental hospitals. Most of the homeless are mentally ill or addicted to drugs. That’s another topic though. I wouldn’t blame one person for homelessnes, there are many factors that go into it and one of them being a lack of compassion for others. LOL, Have a good day..

  2. Really, explosives and other flammable things should be banned during the dry season. People are really get dumb day by day😑

    1. You’re totally right….what would possess someone to do this in California, of all places? It’s been hot there and super dry.

    1. Kelly Bills just use a ballon! And put the note boy and the other one girl. Put confetti:D put the gas in. And pop it!!

      BOOM!
      BOY/GIRL

    1. Just revealing the gender of it means suffering great consequences like half of America being burned. Just wait til it’s burn. I mean born

  3. I see gender reveals in parks near me and they end up leaving a mess all over the place. When did this stupid fad become such a thing? And why do people think it’s ok to trash the place just because they have something to celebrate?

    1. WHO. CARES. ffs, how about we focus on folks playing with pyrotechnic devices in the middle of fire season since that’s what burns down forests? instead of boring everyone with an old man rant about how there’s a thing that exists that didn’t used to exist…

    2. Or the parents will brainwash the child, and tell the child that what they did was ok. The child’s gonna become ignorant, and won’t care that his parents did this 😔

    3. People’s egos. Same reason we have holidays like Christmas. So people can feel special while we trash the planet.

    1. paranoidandriod
      Nobody business but the people that live there.
      Not even in the news where I live.
      I even forgotten about that fire after posting and didn’t know what you were talking about at first.

    1. True. And I’m not surprised two morons called you “weeb” as an insult, In the replies, when you only stated a fact.

  4. parents: how do we throw a gender reveal party?

    (thinks for a few seconds)

    mom: i know! let’s burn california down 😃
