Ban Halloween!

**NotSoSilentBob** · October 29th, 2007, 01:44 PM

I'm tired of this socialist occasion. What better way to indoctrinate the little kiddies into the ways of Marx than by having them go door to door to beg for candy.

I say [censored] the kids. If they want candy, mow my yard and wash my truck and you might get a can of creamed corn and some Hardee's ketchup packets.

I just turn off the outside lights, or go somewhere.
Kids knockin' on the doors just aggravates the dogs and I dont care for opening doors to strangers.
Very few pre-selected kids are allowed through but I'm not all for strangers traipsing around my house.

But I should add the dogs do have costumes of their own [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

I love Halloween and having the kids come by for candy. I usually get about 100 to 120 depending upon the weather.

Stop being such scrooges.....

I agree quit being a scrooge. Some of the kids I know love Halloween as much as Christmas. Todays kids seem to be better at just having fun and not into the destructive modes they were in when I was younger.
Ban Halloween!!!!!! You have got to be kidding!!!!!!!!

Folks, where I live, you don't open doors to strangers. Simple as that. One day we'll move, but until it's lights out, doors locked. That's why I said a select few come through and that's all.

Lord, Wise County getting that bad? I've lived hear my whole life and people outside my home break down in the middle of the night and have went out and helped them. I couldn't imagine being scared, in Wise County.

It ain't the kids begging for candy on Halloween that I don't like, it is the kids, teenagers, and sometimes adults that think egging your car is fun. I used to do it too so I can't say I am squeaky clean but at the time I didn't know the damage it could cause to a vehicle if not cleaned immediately. If left for 1-2 days it can eat the paint right off your car. So too all the kids and immature adults that plan on throwing some eggs on Halloween night don't, have more fun and throw them on each other instead of causing someone a $1,000 paint job.

As far as little kiddies, we normally get right around 500 and spend close to $150 in candy every year. That part is normally fun if not too cold.
