Guinness World Record-The Largest Firework

I don't know why some people do waste money although if it is set off for a holiday I can understand wanting to set off fireworks and symbolize something for the country! Hmm! Well I don't know, maybe it wasn't a big punch / chunk for them.

Hi lyn, This is crazy, you know how much money we have donated for the earthquakes victims? millions and to think here they are wasting it on this trash, it just goes to show thy have money so why don't the help their own people and also other countries where there are people that is starving and homeless? that is it I am not ever going to give to charities abroad. Guinness World Record indeep they are mad. Tamara

I think its an excess too far. Its not only wastage of economy but also doing great harm to the world's environment. I never take part in fireworks display. I feel nauseated for the pollution, smoke and also feel sick from within to see the extravagance. Thanks for sharing this Lyn. Hope you are doing well.

That's quite a big sum of money to be spending on fireworks!! Though it could be used to help victims of earthquakes or whatever, but i believe they should have a reason for doing so ^_^ Maybe, china just wants some form of recognition in terms of internationally.. Most countries will tend to have something in the Gunniess world record, and if china does not have any, wont u feel that it's a lost of face or pride?? Though 2 million is a big sum of money, but i think it should be worth it, for it wont be happening a second time again ^_^

I think it is because of one's personal goals. I mean sure their goals might be not that practical but it would give them much self fulfillment to prove to themselves that they can and have done it. Much more if their accomplishments are credited and acknowledged by most of the people in the world. They are also forever listed in history and in these record books. So I guess it would add up to their being 'immortalized' in a way. One has to say and take note that most of these stunts and records are too much for an ordinary or average man to accomplish. I guess they are just blatantly announcing to the whole world just how much unique they are. Im also not into the Guinness World Records just because of the reasons that you have stated. These records same as Ripley's (I think) dont give the people who participate monetary rewards. They just give some plaque or recognition or something. Still, I just try to understand them since it is into their self discovery and growth.

As one coin has two parts, the issue also has two parts.Like you says,it is so exciting and good news and it let the people over the world see the greatest scenery.I think it has historical value.The Guinness world record to record human track. But in some way I think it is a waste of money.If donated the money to the victims,they would get better. I think there is no wrong and right in the world.One issue is right in your veiw while it is wrong in others' point of veiw.When we choose to one side, we always depend on our own value.

Hello lynettebyc. I hold the same view as you do. It is a waste of money to spend that huge amount of money on fireworks for the breaking the record of Guinness. I don't think that it is worth it. Why not use the money to help those who are needy or why not use the money to improve people's living standard? It is simply a waste of money as well as some kind of pollution to the air. Heroes meet, friend.
