I hate the fact that the American's are starting to do the whole Novermber the 5th thing... It's our tradition, not an American one.... I also hate how the English do the whole Halloween thing... That's an American thing... Not English....
I also hate Halloween... It's so shit.
Wait... Just looked it up on Wikipedia... Halloween is actually Irish...

Halloween's pagan. But shit nonetheless. What's so great about wearing costumes and disturbing people's house?

It's a big deal in England... Not a public holiday or anything but there are firework displays going on all over the country as well as big bonfires a Mr.Fawkes Burning on top of them. (Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the houses of Parliament on the 5th of November, 1605 and was put to death.)

I agree, if you was sweets just go and buy some... Don't go knocking on people's doors like a ****. Many elderly people must be shit scared on Halloween and I just feel sorry for them.

If he did it now, everyone would think he's a hero.

You're not disturbing people's houses, because they expect people to come. Hardly a disturbance I would say.

I’ve always loved Halloween myself; it’s not the same now though.

Well, I think he's pretty much a hero anyway... I mean... he does have a day.

You've obviously never heard of Anti-Guising. (As it's known in Scotland)

You'd need to be in the US for Halloween to really understand how it is.
What's so fun about a fire and fireworks?

What's so fun about a fire and fireworks? Fire is warm and pretty, fireworks are pretty and good to show off. (Especially in London.)

Also there are always parties about... At Haloween too. Good excuse to get high and/or drunk.

So? I could go light a fire whenever I want...and there's nothing special or fun about fireworks.

It's not a stereotype... America is the most obese country...
Plus it's all about the history and shit. It's not just some random fire. It's also ****ing huge...
