Fantastic idea by the americans. Give lots of children diabetes and watch as they lose limbs, fall into the odd coma and potentially die.

I also like how kids run across the road dressed in black in the dark in quiet housing estates...

A field day of child related death.

We have to stop the population from growing somehow dont we...

This is exactly the problem, so the OP does carry some weight. All these pagan festivals have become commercialised and no-one knows why they're celebrating them.

tbh the reason people are celebrating them are pretty much the EXACT reasons the pagans celebrated them.

It's getting cold, dark and ****, we need a party and excuse for excess to cheer us all up.

****ed im missing antichrists Halloween party though, it's awesome

You mean unlike the summer where it's warm, sunny, and people want to sit outside and get drunk?

We don't need an excuse in this country to "celebrate".

It's not a holiday, it's a commercial opportunity to sell costumes, booze and decorations.

For most people however, it is just the excuse they needs to get drunk, not that they need an excuse, Saturday night is an excuse enough for some.

I really can wait until I have a kid and they'll want to go out and do this -_-

I actually really look forward to that.

It's why St Patrick's Day annoys the hell out of me. People see it as an excuse to get incredibly drunk when in fact those same people go out and get incredibly drunk every single week anyway!

It's okay they'll be crying for help when they're on thousands long waiting lists with the NHS in 20 years for a new liver.

The amount of retards posting about children getting diabetes due to Halloween on here is embarrassing. Im actually embarrassed that ive read a post by a supposed adult, banging on about kids losing limbs because they did trick or treat.

m@rty · 31 Oct 2013 at 18:31

Just another day for me, never been much of a fan of dressing up.

On topic... there's a practising self proclaimed white witch in my team at work and she treats halloween like crimbo, new year and her birthday combined!
Had this rammed in my ear all day.... but apparently we found out she can cast a weight loss spell today...and her own words" it only works as a suppliment to eating right and olenty of exercise"....

Completely indifferent to it, I don't celebrate it, but I can see why kids enjoy it. However it's got no significance to me.

You'd make a good King Kong, just been out with the kids, they got loads of sweets, quite good round here lots of kids live down our street.

gillywibble · 31 Oct 2013 at 19:01

I don't mind Halloween, but the first kid I answered the door to said 'Happy Halloween!' instead of trick or treat. Next one that does that gets a punch in the face :mad:

Efour · 31 Oct 2013 at 19:11

Too Americani"z"ed for my liking.

anything I don't mind · 31 Oct 2013 at 19:19

I open the door but tell the children that I don't have sweet for them.

I just No and stair them down.

I can't really think of anything worse than walking around on a cold night knocking on peoples doors.
