You let a country host a International event, you have to accept that it's the way the culture works, simple as, don't complain. Its THEIR country, THEIR Traditional ways of going about things........

(as the page has turned, I should remind the readers that we're talking about Vuvuzelas here)

Well, that's a valid point, too, Jamie. and also a strong argument which FIFA is also pushing it for not banning these instruments.
You touch an interesting point here. yes, when you let a country to host an international event, you agree to respect their traditions, of course. While this respect is guaranteed, in my own opinion, FIFA also should have been into "more to the details" of the event, taking a little more time from pursuing their license agreement-fees (like official beer licenses, etc -we know the uneasy scandalous situations that have developed) and they should view the noise matter as well. After all, it IS the tradition of course, and it MUST be respected of course, but a lot of the visitors are not used to it and seriously getting upset with the noise level. It's mainly FIFA's fault, I say, they are the ones who are setting up everything after all.

Also, I would add something, too; I think it's also expected that when we invite someone to our house for a dinner party or any kind of celebration, we are expected to give a good hospitality to them. I wouldn't say that I like Rock music and that the visitors should respect my wishes and listen to the rock music (despite while they politely complain that they are not having a good good time) just because this is my home! Well, I wouldn't do this. I might lose a bit of my own fun possibly, but I would refrain from upsetting my guests.
Well, I blame FIFA.

Now that the vuvuzela is so well known because of the football World Cup, everyone should know WHERE they come from before you blow it!

Not bad at all; quite good actually! They somewhat sound like Queens of the Stone-age.

4th of July Birthday? Awesome! Happy Birthday dude

[jamie1992]

Happy birthday man, hope you are having a good one.

[3040Krag]

Why, thank you gentlemen!

Spent the day with family, mother's side family reunion. Set off a lot of our own fireworks (love the South Dakota law on fireworks legality) and watched a magnificent municipal fireworks show. Lots of good food, good family times and LOUD and colorful pyrotechnics courtesy of our Chinese "friends."

ETA, with all due respect to my British bretheren, Independence Day rocks!

[Balious]

Two days late but better late then never I guess.

[MeanderingBeing]

Happy birthday Krag... Apologies for the lateness... Been busy...

On another note... Turns out you can plug a 100watt amp into the back of your computer WITHOUT anything exploding! WHOO! I can record now!

[3040Krag]

Thank you, Balious and MeanderingBeing!

I've often wished a PC power supply had a mains pass-through connector. Some 110v fans can really push some air!

[DARK TEMPLAR]
