    My counsellor says I don't need to hate Halloween anymore

    'hate' is such a strong word


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,323 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    At Halloween, girls have a competition, whether they know it or not, to see who can dress the sluttiest!

    What's not to love?

    judging by the amount of tumbleweed round here now, Id say no.

    I love Halloween, dark and scary and full of gore and scaring the shít out of people. Swiftly followed by Christmas cheers and giving and hugs and blurgh....smiling.

    It's a pagan holiday that mocks the baby Jesus.

    Christmas is a pagan holiday celebrating the sun in it's annual battle with the night. The sooner Christians realize they're worshiping Egyptian gods the better.

    That sounds like a barrel of laughs:
    "This is is the perfect opportunity for kids to unite against Halloween. Some of them have already begun hanging pictures of local saints," he said.

    Just you mate. At heart, all women want to dress up, and if they can dress filthy as well all the better. Win win for the men at halloween

    I also hate halloween. Without the copious amount of sweets it is simply not as good.

    But does it make the baby Jesus cry? I don't think it does, all baby Jesus cares about is presents so he's happy enough at Christmas and if baby Jesus isn't crying I'm not interested.

    I agree with OP. Bloody neighbours knocking at door with kids singing poxy songs. grrrrrr. go away.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A

    For some women, that's just a regular Saturday night out.

    it's the teenagers and the bangers that annoy me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Chorcai


    Hate it, have to drug the dog, get fúcking sweets for kids I don't know or want to know, have the door bell being rung untill 10 o'clock then the listen to shíty fireworks going off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,517 ✭✭✭RobitTV


    Halloween is **** when you get old, Listening to kids setting off bangers, fireworks the lot Then they knock on the door Blah blah blah.... all night playing knock a dolly running away when they ring the doorbell, i tell ya it just shud be banned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,204 ✭✭✭FoxT


    Agreed, OP. It is meaningless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Dunjohn


    As a kid, it made sense. Free sweets always make sense. However, once I became too old for trick-or-treating, I looked around at what the grown-ups had replaced it with for themselves, and despaired at the lack of free sweets. I mean,... I mean, why do anything if you're not going to involve free sweets?

    That's where Hallowe'en has gone wrong, imho.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,944 ✭✭✭✭Links234


    We made actual fireworks in chemistry class. They didn't really explode, because we didn't have gunpowder, but there was a big fire and it was sparkly and blue sometimes when it reached the copper chloride. It was awesome. So yeah, once I can get gunpowder/some other explosive, I can make dangerous fireworks! Chemistry ftw.:cool:

    somehow I think you'll be more responsible with them than the teenagers who are setting them off so often around here. drives me crazy


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,755 ✭✭✭A V A


    i dont even see the point of going out into town or what ever, i like a good laugh and i aint no dry shoit but i just dont like halloween

    tbh its not about the sweets anymore with the kids , its either money or what ever , and from m old road loads of the kids are talkin about drinkin or knickin some vodka from the "gaf" :rolleyes::rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Wasn't a fan til this year, but I had good fun dressing up tonight. :)
    Wore a wig which has inspired me to do some really different sh1t with my hair.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 7,943 Mod ✭✭✭✭Yakult


    Holloween, just an excuse to wear some rediculous costume and have a pint. Normally have a great time, but no moneyz so had to stay home this year. :(

    Hate it in general tho, it really means fcuk all and no one makes effort. Would be cool if they threw up orange and black street lights like xmas etc.

    Do you think, perhaps that the pranker becoming the prankee might have something to do with it?

    Not a fan either. Too much effort to dress up etc when you can just have a regular night out.

    Thankfully it hardly gets any attention over here and the girls dress slutty enough anyway.

    My thoughts exactly. People go on about how it's great because girls dress like sluts, but if they were out any other weekend of the year they'd realise that's nothing unusual.

    I went through a phase of hating it.. I don't like the bangers and bonfires end of it.. But I do enjoy getting a costume and going out in town (Dublin) on Halloween night.. Love the atmosphere of it and some of the costumes are fantastic... good oul craic..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Doesnt really affect me. Its only good if your a kid, or have kids yourself. I suppose there is something to be said for going to parties to ogle slutty women in fancy dress, but since I never do that............ :(
