Why would anybody stop kids getting high on E numbers? Live and let live.

Can't stand Halloween but if people want to spend their money on it then leave them to it. No one is forcing you

Boring, stressful, mindless just like Christmas, wouldn't ban it though.

Ban sweets.

I came into this thread to argue against abolishing it but your detailed and well-thought-out argument has changed my mind. I say ban it.

I wouldn't get rid of the rest of the celebrations but Halloween has gone from trying to be scary to what looks like a poorly scripted budget porno auditions over the country. I'd ban trick or treaters. I think every household should be given land mines which they can bury by the door to ward off trick or treaters.

I agree its a gimmicky load of crap and it annoys me, but as for banning it just because you don't like it, that's just ridiculous :rolleyes:

If we had it as a holiday that'd be good :tongue:

I think parents shouldn't encourage their kids to go around begging for sweets under threat of a 'trick', but if they like dressing up and painting their faces that's cool.
