Topic: Halloween is a bullshit holiday, Here's why:
postmortem !!Qe8ScDbX+ started this discussion 11 years ago#46,652
1. Halloween parties are just an excuse for drunk people to and fuck. IN A COSTUME!!
That's literally the only added element, a moment of "haha, that's funny", and "What are you supposed to be?" maybe, before just drunks trying to fuck. You can watch horror movies, and eat candy any fucking day of the year, you know what else? You can also wear a fucking costume any time of the year, and the rest of the year people will actually pay attention to you if you wear the costume.
2. Children are pieces of shit.
Kids of all shapes, and sizes come up to your front door expecting free food, and then they judge you on the free food you give them. I don't care if you don't like jolly-ranchers, you're getting fucking jolly ranchers you leeches. I didn't spend this much time not having children to have some random child in my neighborhood judge me on my candy choosing abilities. I'm an adult, I'll give the kid a cigarette, a beer, and several years of regret.
3. Horror Movies are Garbage, and ghosts aren't real.
There have been maybe 5 decent horror movies in the past forever, and the rest are either boring yawn parades/formula movies/remakes of the 5 decent movies that were made. Even the movies that were "Ehh" get remade, to even more "Ehh" shitfests.Do you want to find out how an uninteresting paper-cut-out of a character became an uninteresting paper-cut-out of a character? Apparently a lot of people said, yes! And "So bad it's good" is a moronic idea. "Wow, this is really bad, I wonder how it got greenlit, let's watch 2 hours of it" go fuck yourself. If you think "The Human Centipede" was a good movie by any stretch of the imagination, kill yourself. And ghosts, and witches, and demons are all fake, we all know this. So, sitting around in a dark room in front of a bunch of candles, or trying to play "one man, hide and seek" should make you feel ashamed.
4. It's all just an excuse to get high, eat candy, and have sex in a costume.
Really a reiteration of my first point, but honestly, you can do that basically any day of the year, and it'll probably be a bit more exciting.

My point is that having a holiday for it is unnecessary. Half the fun of eating candy, and having sex is the spontaneity of it. If you have a special day devoted to then you're eliminating a key factor of the excitement. It ruins costumes, too. How can you even possibly be "totally out there" when everyone is expecting you to be "totally out there". When everyone is fabulous, nobody is.

We should team up and go on a killing spree. We can Kill Negi Springfield first then kill a bunch of trannies untill caught. It will be awesome and we'll make the news.

When you walk around in costumes on non holidays you look like an attention whoring furry.

You are so missing the point. I find all kinds of extra holidays to celebrate.
Celebrate New Years then two months later celebrate Chinese New Years.
More reasons to throw or attend a party. Adds a terrific intensity to having more fun.
Try it. Besides the way you burn out new girlfriends - Parties and holidays are a great way to connect UP.

so? are you opposed to people getting drunk and fucking? the fuck is the matter with you, boy? any reason to fuck is a good enough reason to do most things.

if you're giving cigarettes and beer to children then you've failed to achieve adulthood yet. you may physically be the size and age of people who are adults, but you're not a man. you're just an old... boy.

do you really sit around and ponder these things? "why do people like things i don't like?" it's like the angst is preventing you from maturing or something.

why do you feel that something like Halloween needs to be justified anyway? that just seems... petty. people like having fun, man. let people have their fun. you go have your fun. it's a big world with a lot to do. but, if requiring all holidays to have some kind of meaning beyond "fun" is fun for you then i guess you're enjoying yourself. but it seems to me that we have enough meaningful holidays that we can afford to have frivolous ones too.

And the irony is that my thread was written in jest, and you're arguing against it like I have the problem seeing between the lines. That being said, maybe you're also joking, and now I am autistic. And if so, I'm sorry.

A sppokky ghost went by me last Halloween therefore we can infer that there is at least one ghost. There is evidence.
