How loud's too loud?

As for the NEED to cut your lawn, that is a want, and an extremely selfish one at that. 1 billion people in the world don't have adequate fresh water. The US is in a water shortage. The fact that you choose to be selfish, and then wake me up on a saturday morning to trim your decoration, is no different then someone playing a stereo.

My only point is that if you can hear it, but its not hurting you, maybe you need to grow a little thicker skin. If its truly causing you pain, or impeding on your happiness, then I can see your point, but neither of those are true if you can just "hear" it.

Wow. I never said you "blast" your system. That's why I used the pronoun "one" as in playing "one's" stereo too loud. Take it easy tiger. Talk about "thin" skin.
Also, many cities strictly enforce grass height and will in fact issue a fine if grass is too tall. I fail to see how this relates to water usage. I don't water my lawn but it seems to "magically" grow to the point where it needs to be cut. Amazing!
I think the point most of us are making is for those people that play their music well above necessary levels to hear it. It's a simple matter of respecting your fellow person.
