Halloween is stupid, and a waste of both time and money. First of all, you go out to get a huge bag of candy that will probably only make you fat anyway. And second of all, I can't believe people actually waste money on costumes and candy to give out to kids. Who the hell cares? When I have my own house I'm going to sit on my front porch with a shotgun, and if any stupid trick or treating kids come to my house, they'll get what's coming to them.

... that last part was obviosuly a joke. But regardless, I think Halloween is a waste of time and money, I stopped when I was in Grade 5, and I will never do it again.

Apparently I have to give out candy at my house this year. Well if those kids want candy they'll have to come into my house and up to my room where I'll be playing FFXI (most likely while drunk too). And I'm not guaranteeing there'll be candy there for them, although I might shoot something at them, whether it be candy or a rock is up to the fates.

a. It gives people a reason to dress up all silly and have a fun time... Some people like dressing up and fun times...

b. It gives people a reason to have get-together's or parties or whatever... Some people like parties...

c. Little kids get candy... little kids like candy... and so does pretty much everybody else in the world...

Sounds like you and darkmaster had an unfortunate run-in with a sex offender or something one halloween night...

A. They won't be having a fun time once they step on my property.

What??! I love Halloween!! Woohoo, booze and FFXI!!!....which really isn't much different than most nights, but never the less, woohoo!

I don't find Halloween to be particularly special or interesting, seems like another one of those pointless holidays (ie. Valentine's Day, which btw, is absolute dogsh*t). And I don't even get the day off work, what the hell is up with that? I'm not coming home from working all day to go out running around the streets collecting candy (btw, candy sucks).

good one DsH...

anyhoo, i love candy, and i dont care if i get fat, cause i simply cant

i've been eating junk food everyday for like a year now and i havent gained more then 10 pounds...so yeah

and dressing up and goin round to ppl's houses is fun, esspecially when they dont have candy and you have eggs

Kitana85 · 10-01-2003, 08:33 AM

$50 dollars on candy?!?! W0w, we usually go to the doller store and spend $10.00.

and oh yeah, HOME MADE COSTUMES. Cheaper, and little kids don't know they're mising anything. If you have black clothes, just wear them and a mask, don't have to buyu the rest of a costume.

Though, the whole shooting people part does sound like fun

rock on

Add on Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's Day.

Most people only do it because they don't want to be seen as different.

No. Not to seem different. People do these things because they are enjoyable.

We have some anti-holiday folks here.

You would figure getting dressed up and getting candy is a lot better than getting drunk and making an ass of yourself, but that's just me.

Like I said before, I think Halloween is a good thing (Valentine's Day is a chick's thing... no offense...) And I really don't think you are ever to old for it. Maybe trick or treating, I can't imagine anyone giving me candy on Halloween now. But maybe a nice big costume party or something.

BTW what is with the Canadian dislike of the holiday, do they give bad candy up there DM and Crono?

That's a lie and you know it. You're never too old to get drunk and make an ass of yourself, but dressing up and getting candy is for kids. Seriously, if some 17 year old came to my door asking for candy, he'd get a boot in the ass right out the door.

No, Valentine's Day is a Hallmark thing, and they aint getting one single god damn penny from my pocket. If I have a girlfriend on Valentine's Day, she can have the honor of making me a steak while I play video games.

While I don't like drinking, I'll admit that you're never too old to get drunk and make an ass out of yourself...

However, when the reason you look like an ass is because you're drinking alone in your room, that's a bit of a different story...

How is it different? There's beer, there's video games, and there's my arrogant, jackass natured attitude. What else should I do? Tell my friends to come over and sit in my room so I'll look cool?

Oh, it's Halloween night, I should go out, get drunk, and party with my friends? How is that different than any other weekend night? I don't believe in Halloween, it's horsesh*t, and I choose not to celebrate it in any way.
