People who don't believe in celebrating it, yet have hoardes of kids knocking on their doors, begging for lollies.

Maybe the parents should go around to their neighbours beforehand & ask them if they mind their kids knocking on their door & giving them lollies, that way only the people who are interested will be disturbed, it's common courtesy.

If Americans settled Australia 220 odd years ago and brought Halloween with them, I don't think we'd be having this debate.
The British did and brought Guy Fawkes night with them. I was well aware as a kid who Guy Fawkes was and what he tried to do and then what happened to him but it didn't detract from the night of all the neighbourhood kids/families getting together and having some fun.

nor should it.

But the fact Halloween is an imported festival shouldn't stop kids from enjoying it either.

It's a night for kids to have some fun, and a night for mantis to irresponsibly leave her dog on her front verandah.

How is asking if they would give candy different to kids just asking for candy? Either way, someone knocks at your day :o

Because they can go around during the day on a weekend, not disturbing people while they are cooking/eating their dinner, or watching their TV, talking on the phone etc.

OH & J Moore, it's not irresponsible to have my dog restrained on the front verandah, it was a humid night & because he is getting old the heat really affects him, so letting him lie on the cool concrete while I watch TV & can see him from my couch, there is no problem. It's my house end of story.

Anyway, no kids have come onto my property.:thumbsu:

I asked who was harmed by halloween, not, who is a sad sack of shit and whines about a tiny interruption to their pathetic lives.

****ing awesome responsible dog ownership mantis. "I put my pit bull out the front of my house on the one night of the year strange children are most likely to come knocking on my door. But it's ok 'cause he would never hurt anybody..."

Jesus christ.

To the OP: I celebrated Halloween this year because it was an excuse for a house party and an excuse to dress up as Warwick Capper.

American Pit bull?
 
For the past 5 years me and my mates have had a Halloween party. Getting bigger every year and noticing a lot more parties happening on the night also. Good excuse for a party I reckon.

And there is no problem with kids going trick or treating. Had some kids come past our place during the day and gave them some lollies.

I hope ya'll don't mind if me and a few mates wearing some bitchin' demon masks drop by all yr houses on NYE, torment yr kids a bit and expect some booze in return. After all, Namahage has just as much cultural relevance here as Halloween does...

You are part of the problem. Need an excuse to have a party ? Need a faux event to bring you together ? WANK.

so... did you have a night in on Saturday night, lit a candle, drank wine, and read Dickens?

Australia is becoming America Junior. Accept it.

That is because people watch those crap TV sitcoms and will always be wannabes

No need to accept it, stop being a sheep for once in your life.

That's an incredibly dumb idea.

Parent's shouldn't have to walk around to 50 different houses asking if it is OK.

Exactly. It's happening and no amount of "OMGS WE'RE TOO AMERICANIZED LETS STOPSS IT!!1!!!!11elventyone will change a ****ing thing.

Halloween is growing in Australia, get over it.

****, I've never seen a larger collecting of miserable ****s in my life. It's a tradition that is being picked up all around the world, yet because a few kids want to dress up, or people want to throw a party, it's as if it's the end of the ****ing world.

And Mantis, you miserable old ****ing bitch. If your dog was out, and lashed out at kids, I'd come back and crush your dogs ****ing skull with a crowbar. I was just defending the kids. ;)
 
I don't believe in Halloween either but I think we have to accept it is here to stay though.

In saying that I don't believe kids should be left unsupervised to just wander the neighbourhood, an adult should be with them at all times.

And I think it is more than fair enough for people who do not believe in it to not give out anything, and for the supervising adults to deal with that and not react like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, that is not on.

On the flipside if people are happy to give kids stuff and get involved I don't see why it is such a big issue. It's their decision.

i vote 1 to bring back Guy Fawkes day.

Fireworks in every city, and major town. Footy clubs could get around it as a fundraiser. Homemade sparklebombs, and hell maybe even legalise small roman candles.

Bring it back baby.

Australia is shedding off its British traditions in favour of American ones.

Fortunately, I for one will be celebrating GFD on Thursday over here.
