    The trick or treaters in our area were so cautious not to be a nuisance - had a skeleton in the front garden bed but many walked by unsure because we didn't have a sign specifically inviting them to knock for lollies. Those that did were very polite and thankful.

    Least of our worries when it comes to malign US influence. What really needs a smack in the mouth is our Google/Apple/etc. dependency.

    It's so funny that Australia prides itself on being multicultural.

    Just not american-type multicultural.

    This is not an import by the vibrant American expat community though right? This is being pushed by huge chains to sell plastic and sugar, and they push it to kids. That’s what shits me.

    On the other hand it was a cool community event to witness and we don’t really see too much of anymore that imho. I just resent the aggressive way it’s inculcated on us by greedy companies to suck our value.

    Why can’t they sponsor existing local cultural festivals or something?

    Fun fact, it was actually a Canadian import to America, and before that came from Ireland and Scotland.

    Halloween has been celebrated in the UK and Ireland for hundreds of years, and the Irish brought it to America.

    There has been dressing up and going door to door for hundreds of years too, and even jack o lanterns have been around for ages.

    The holiday is much more a UK thing than it is an American thing, it's rather surprising actually that it's not as much a thing in Australia...

    We just gotta change it to " Oi, fuckin, give us some candy lollies cunt or we'll fuck your house up!" instead of trick or treat.

    Nah they do that down at the shops.

    Fun fact, if someone's coming on your property and stealing your bumpers from your ashtray, what you do is collect a few ashtrays worth of them, piss on them, let them dry and repeat for a week, then you put an ashtray of the fermented piss infused bumpers out and let them steal it, do this for a few days and they will stop.

    I don’t care that Halloween’s an American import, it’s still the best day of the year.

    Well fuck off to you too.

    If you hate it that much practice what you preach and go back to England, colonizer.

    Is this meme depicting a kangaroo decking a child supposed to portray the kangaroo as the one in the right?

    As an American in NZ I did not expect any trick or treaters this year as we didn't have any last year. But we got a few dozen Indian kids.

    Somehow I don't think travelling around in the suburbs with your kid in your SUV, going to stranger's places because Facebook told you these houses give the best goodies is how it should work.
