Halloween?

[mantis]

I can't believe people think that total strangers should spend money on lollies & chocolate to give to kids they don't know.

I put Kenny out on the front verandah for a couple of hours, don't have any kids willing to risk walking past him to knock on my door. They don't know that he would just lick them to death, just see this huge dog sitting their smiling & continue on to the next house.

Its ridiculous, I cannot remember anyone ever considering it when I was at primary school (I'm 19), but I have a younger sister and from what I can gather last year, a lot of kids were participating. Its bullshit, if you're american, in some way fair enough, but otherwise its a croc. This should be in the americanised thread.

If I ever have kids I won't be allowing them to celebrate it.

Huge here in the US, ppl get dressed up and go to work, ppl buy candy just for the kids who knock on doors, not sure about the sickos though, but the cops beat down many a bad ass, so if you wanna take the chance there's always the federal penitentiary, me i'm sitting here on the pc while halloween rages on outside, pumkins are everywhere, lots of stuffed witches and goblins etc out the front of houses, i'm in rural US atm, for all the crap the US cops at home it really is a great place to be.

Since when is the 31st of October Halloween anyway??

they're little kids ********. how can you not blame an adult if they say they'll give a kid a hiding for knocking on a door. read my earlier post, as i said i dont really agree with it but each to their own.
with a bit of luck that door i'll be knocking on tomorrow will be yours

if they are so little you should of been waiting at the end of the driveway while they go and knock on the door.
if anyone knocked on my door i would do the same thing. only reason kids do it is becasue all they see is shitty american tv shoes telling them what to do. bring back australian kid shows and halloween will hopefully leave our ever increasing americanised culture

I have a heavy 7 metre wide front gate. Before I left for afternoon shift I made sure I closed it.

Halloween shits me no end along with valentines day.

And I do have a wife and 2 little kids.

I wish we still had Guy Fawkes night and could buy firecrackers, skyrockets, volcanoes, catherine wheels etc from the milkbar/deli.

Anyone remember roman candles at ten paces and spuds in foil in the bonfire?

You kids today don't know what you missed out on when they banned it.

I was devestated when they banned it (although it has had a comback of sorts albeit with strict regulations). I found the night itself to be a bit of a fizzer as we used to get around weeks before & after blowing shit up. It would be nothing to be running after a mate pumping a roman candle into his back. The good 'ol days. Flashers were the go....

there were adults at the end of the driveway ****stick, but the kids were too scared to say anything until they got home. you'd be a big ****ing hero and do the same to kids then would you?
hope this guy is home tomorrow because i'll take it out on him, thinking it's you now.

Ferris, can you please answer my earlier post, why you think strangers should spend their money buying lollies & chocolates for your children?

Maybe people should start knocking on doors asking people to feed them, because they don't want to spend their own money on food.

Can't believe I'm defending Ferris. He has said earlier he is not a fan of Halloween, but his kids went out doing it. His beef is with a bloke who unneccessarily swore at the kids.

 

[Play by Numbers]

The only day of the year where it is ok for youngsters to ask weird strangers for candy.

Also Guy Fawkes night, heck yes.

Meh let them have their cake (well in this case candies).

Who cares, for some strange reason I have to buy people I don't really like chocolate eggs or rabbits, on a religious holiday which is not my own, for what reason exactly?

How do the two connect??

Yes and now I am single so Valentines Day is depressing (my feelings if I have any, instead of my wallet so perhaps I win?)....... but I have to deal.

I don't care, nobody knocked on my door.

Because they can't, gate and wall FTW.

Maybe the bloke got fed up with having to go to his front door countless times, because of kids begging for lollies.

If Ferris doesn't want some stranger telling his kids to F off, then maybe he shouldn't let them wander around the neighbourhood annoying people.

why should i answer your earlier post, who are you? didn't you stand by once on a bus when teenagers got on and abused women and waited for the bus driver to do something about it? get off your moral high horse until you can prove you've done something to change the way society's going.
to answer the question above, did i advocate people going out and buying lollies just for this purpose? read back through my posts and you'll find that i had a problem with the way an adult swore at and then threatened little kids. if you have stray lollies lying around then why not give a couple out to kids, jesus my wife and i used to get rid of crappy christmas lollies this way before we had kids. stop being a bloody old scrooge mantis and try to remember what life was like when you were a kid, thats what i'm trying to do, see the world occasionally through a little kids eyes and remember what it was like before we all became wisearses and lost a bit of our innocence.
as for the bloke who swore at my kids, he's got his coming tomorrow because he probably not only ruined their day but every other kid that went to the door that night. and we wonder why kids grow up these days having no respect for adults when they get treated like that.
good enough for you mantis?

so thats an excuse for telling kids to **** off is it? why didn't he just pull a shotgun then if he was so pissed off.
jesus christ, you remind me of scrooge in a christmas carol. has life been that bad to you that you think it's okay to talk to little kids like this?
i really pity the kids that live in your street and have to walk past your house.
lastly, anyone that tells my kids to **** off gets whats coming to them. i'm sure any parent would be as protective in the same situation, any parent that cared that is mantis.

Don't encourage her to do more, otherwise you will have riders on footpaths dropping left right and centre from some malicious elbowing mystery hag.

Less is more with mantis.

Gawd we had fun when we were kids without annoying strangers. As I said, that guy probably lost the plot after countless kids banged on his door asking for lollies, I can't believe a parent can think it's acceptable for their kids to do that. It's like telemarketers constantanly ringing you up, you finally get sick of it & tell them where to go.

You don't want your kids being abused, then don't let them go around annoying strangers, pretty simple really.

OH & after you go around & beat up that guy, hope you enjoy your time in prison.

Any parent who is protective, wouldn't let their kids wander around begging strangers for lollies

 

[nakedducks]

Halloween for oz is complete crap. but if you want your kids to do it then you should as local community get together and only take your kids go to safe houses. In no way should you send them to strangers house who shouldnt have to put up with strange looking kids begging at their door for candy.

are you rtrd? there were parents with them at the end of the driveway and they weren't begging. no other adult told them to **** off that night so what you're saying is that this one bloke was right and all other adults were wrong?
typical mantis logic, no wonder you cop it so much in nearly every other thread you post in. now give it a rest or i'll end up putting you on ignore like hundreds of others have.

if you are such a protective parent wouldn't you want to be there not other kids parents?
if those parents cared they would of noticed a change in mood, because if i was 6 i wouldn't be acting the same if some bloke told me to piss off.
