Halloween is stupid

Like just about everything that was imported from America, Halloween is a stupid holiday that should be banned from my country.

I can't stand it.

I already know what's going to happen, the same thing as the last few years. Children will be knocking on my door, in low effort costumes, and ask for candies. I won't buy candies, because why the hell would I spend my hard earned money on random children? So they'll find a major disappointment when I tell them that I have none. I guess that's the one fun thing about Halloween, seeing the disappointed looks on the faces of stupid brats. Unfortunately it appears that my BF has to work that day, so we can't share those moments of joy, but if some kids start crying I might take photos to share them with him later.

Reminds me of last year, by the way. There was a girl in a pirate costume costume and I was just about to ask her whether she's too stupid to understand that the concept of Halloween is to dress up in a scary costume. I ultimately didn't, but in my mind I could already see her tear up and that thought made me very happy for a moment.

Anyway, the idea of Halloween is certainly not to dress up as a super hero, that's what Carnival is for. Way worse though, half of the boys didn't even wear costumes. So basically, what they're telling me is that I'm expected to give them sweets just for showing up and knocking on my stupid door? And they don't even have the courtesy to wear at least a bit of make-up to give the faint appearance of caring about more than getting free stuff? No? Alright.

But back on topic I guess. Halloween didn't exist as a holiday where you actually went from house to house in Germany when I was at the age that I could have gone around collecting sweets, but God knows, I would have loved to. I was stupid to think that way, because Halloween sucks, but still - it's just unfair. I first learned about Halloween on the Internet, and it sounded like such a cool concept. I really, REALLY wanted to go through the neighborhood. Now it has established itself as at hing that kids do, and now I'm a few years too old to take part in it without getting angry responses. Of course I won't have children either, so I can't even just pretend to be escorting my child for at least some of the joy. Not that I'd want to, but, like, if I wanted to, I couldn't.

It's like fate is mocking me. The one thing I've always wanted, and I can't have it. Halloween is such a stupid holiday, it should be abolished in Germany. I guess I'll start a petition tomorrow.

But yeah, those are my reasons. Why do you hate Halloween?

In Denmark children already celebrate Fastelavn, which is an old tradition celebrated after fasting, in February I think.

Halloween is more of an adult holiday, where people meet up as zombies and get poopfaced.
 
Isn't that some kind of Digimon Costume?

As if people needed a reason to get poopfaced!

I couldn't keep reading after you openly stated you take pleasure in the sadness of children. Who hurt you?

Oh, buhuhu. That poor child didn't get the sweets they wanted. Let's open a charity to make sure that never happens again.

And nobody hurt me, stop with the psychoanalyzing!

My aunt would always inspect my candy to make sure no one poisoned it.
She ate all the chocolate. :crazyeye:

That was pretty clever of her. Reminds me of that one video I watched while ago though, where somebody finds a razor blade in some candy that was meant for their kids while checking whether they're okay. Not sure if it was real or not, but pretty disturbing either way.
 
Megyn Kelly has been fired!

The former queen of Fox News is toast!
It appears Megyn Kelly will not be returning to "Today" - not tomorrow, not ever.

That's according to a story in the Daily Mail, which confirmed on Thursday afternoon that the former Fox News star has agreed to leave the network after she defended the use of black face in Halloween costumes during a panel discussion on Tuesday, triggering an intense backlash that reverberated across twitter.

But while the damage to Kelly's reputation and career from her brief but disastrous stint at NBC may be irreparable, at least she will walk away with the entirety of her $69 million contract, thanks to the "no-break" deal she reportedly signed when she announced she would be joining the network in January 2017, after declining to renew her contract at Fox News. The timing of her departure announcement is still TBD, but the deal is as good as done, one executive said.

Little kid wearing costume to be their black hero Diana Ross?
Career ending offense at 4:03 and 5:30ish

Sincere apology means nothing.

Oh liberals. :shake:
The zero tolerance political correctness really turns moderate voters off.

Her ratings were bad pretty much from the start. Not really surprising.

Wrong thread?
 
But Ryika, adults have costume parties too, or so I've heard. If not, you can import that as well and make Halloween more fun for you.
 
@Ryika Just turn your porch lights off and keep your house dark No one will stop by and bother you.
