I hate them. Kids start setting them off well before Christmas. They scare my dog so much that he shivers... even when he's tranquilized. The smoke is unhealthy - especially for folks with lung ailments.

I like firecrackers. They can be annoying if someone is going at them all night long. But they are a lot of fun when used safely.

Hate -- too many years deployed with the military makes explosions a little unsettling.

I'm not terribly fond of firecrackers, but I don't hate them. They are certainly annoying when lit up at odd hours when most reasonable people are trying to sleep. On the other hand, they can be a fun end to a warm summer evening with friends.

I wish that more caution would be used by those who use firecrackers, sometimes, though.

Great fun when used by myself or with other people, or during holidays. But very annoying when its just randomly used.

I always loved firecrackers when I was a kid. It's kind of a tradition with kids in the Vancouver area of BC, Canada to set them off around Halloween. Usually, it starts a couple weeks before Halloween.

I like them... as long as they don't blow up in my hand! I've had some Thunder Bomb firecrackers have super fast fuses and blow up in my hand before, that was unpleasant.
