Thread: Am I the only one who hates Halloween? - Yahoo! Answers

It's an event for kids to practise robbery: dress well, be scary, harass people, and have fun. How-to-be-a-criminal-101.

I LOVE HALLOWEEN! XD

Hate it as well. I do like the idea of people going out, with children if they have them, and meeting their neighbours. But halloween, awful.

Halloween was just a very minor event until some years ago, when big business realised that they could make millions by selling all the usual rubbish. I can't understand why parents buy the stuff at such ridiculous prices and encourage their kids to take part. I suppose some folks will always follow 'fashion'.

I can't stand Halloween. Total wast of time and money.

why people wish to allow their children to knock on the doors of people who could be paedophiles, is beyond me, it's not even a british custom, one cats sitting in the tumble drier looking fed up, as this is his war room, the others in a bean bag, looking totally remedial, the ferret's, totally stroppy due to the noise, and would love to anoint the little cretin's, with his laughing gear, in all everyone's...

I hate it too, and to make it worse people let off fireworks for the sake of it. Even during the day.

no my wife's friend hates it, she is a keen christian and finds it distressing.

I dont mind it. How are you? xx

And it doesn't seem safe at all. And why introduce to...
