October 31, 201114 yr @ the grumpy bum who doesn't give out lollies. If they were your children, bet the tables would turn pretty quickly. They're just little kids, no need to be an arsehole. If you don't believe in it, tell them nicely that you don't but wish them a great night, not hard. Yes, because it's our obligation to other people's children to go out of our way and comply with social norms we see no point in. I smell a hint of ageism here.
October 31, 201114 yr Because it sounds like something truly grotesque could occur. To be honest, it seem silly some use the "oh noes satan and the occult" excuse to prevent their children from celebrating Halloween. It seems like total bull. Also, Happy Halloween.A better reason would be that you don't want your kid around a few pounds of candy for the next few days/weeks/months :razz: Don't parents confiscate the candy from the child and restrict to how much of the pile they can eat a day so they don't go into sugar-coated, caffeinated overdrive to last all night and the day after? :P
October 31, 201114 yr Doing nothing again this year. Eh, I'll just snack from the bowl my mother is handing out. "Let your anger be as a monkey in a piñata... hiding amongst the candy... hoping the kids don't break through with the stick." - Master Tang
October 31, 201114 yr I was a Jehova's Witness in school, wore nice clothes, combed hair, and carried a Bible in one hand and one of their pamphlets in another, going door to door, bathroom stall to bathroom stall saving souls. Probably won't go out and do it because it's friggin' cold. Get back here so I can rub your butt.

Probably won't go out and do it because it's friggin' cold. I wonder how many took your outfit seriously. I almost believed it until I saw the second sentence. How cold will it be for you tonight? 40 or under?

October 31, 201114 yr Waldo costume this year. I had to listen to lame "found him!" jokes wherever I went. Oh well, I sort of brought it on myself :lol:.

Meant to say how many thought you were seriously a member of Jehovah's Witnesses and not just wearing a costume. :P

October 31, 201114 yr lol zierro of course do what you wish, if you want to be known as that "arse" be my guest. Hope you get egged :D Personally, I don't think kids deserve to be treated that way. Nobody has to give them anything, a polite no is justifiable. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
October 31, 201114 yr might not do much because it's raining fyi, ladies dig the talonsHot man of the Trickster Pirates.
October 31, 201114 yr How is choosing not to celebrate a Holiday being an arse? I can see if you're sitting on your porch with a shotgun and some moonshine, hollering at anyone who approaches the vicinity, but I don't think adults should be obligated to celebrate. It makes it that much more special and heartwarming when someone does go out of their way to think of the kids, rather than if it was just an embedded norm that plenty of parents herd into while masking the frowns on their faces. Personally, I think there are better ways to show your gratitude to our future's youth which don't involve encouraging them asking strangers for candy and getting cavities. I will choose to be a grumpy ghoul on this day, but my compassion will be revealed come December.
November 1, 201114 yr It's a school night, so I'm not doing anything at all. Already had my fun on Friday (kinda; it wasn't actually a whole lot of fun). I think if you don't want to hand out candy, put a sign on your door (or just leave the house). As a kid, I never thought bad of anyone who didn't answer their door/give me candy. | My Tumblr |
November 1, 201114 yr Err? Nobody is saying you have to. I also don't believe in Halloween, I think it is a pedos dream come true and also don't believe in encouraging my kids to ask for candy from strangers. I'm just saying a polite no thanks is a good way to deal with it, no need to be a grumpy shit about it though. On the funny side, my partners friends forgot it was Halloween and felt bad that they had nothing to give the kids so they gave the boys a can of baked beans each and the girls a box of cake mix hahaha...... The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
November 1, 201114 yr Why did the boys get baked beans instead of cake mix? What are they trying to say/hint at?! :mrgreen: | My Tumblr |
November 1, 201114 yr my little sister's lootmight be having a feast tonight :thumbup: fyi, ladies dig the talonsHot man of the Trickster Pirates.
November 1, 201114 yr holy crap lol good one. The only aussie thing I can make out is crunch and skittles oops and kit kat :P @ duff... it wouldn't surprise me if they were being sexist they are those kinda people. Sometimes he posts these jokes on facebook and I wonder how he can walk out his front door in the morning without being flogged with a 3 ply :mrgreen: The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
November 1, 201114 yr What? You don't have milky ways in Australia? Well, I'm never going to Australia. My skin is finally getting softI'll scrub until the damn thing comes off
November 1, 201114 yr Have to excuse my dodgy eye sight didn't see milky ways in the brown packaging, i think they are still in blue packaging here and m&m's wow I missed a lot....snickers? and they taste pretty dodgy :thumbdown: milky ways that is. The only people who tell you that you can't do something are those who have already given up on their own dreams so feel the need to discourage yours.
November 1, 201114 yr I'm just saying a polite no thanks is a good way to deal with it, no need to be a grumpy shit about it though. No need to be a grumpy shit towards people who merely don't want to be bothered by it either... is my point.
