Hachiroku ハチロク - 21 Oct 2007 15:46 GMT I don't think I'll hand out candy. I usually have to be in bed before 10 PM so I can do my 'paper route'.
I used to dress up and go to parties, but maybe I'm too old for that now?

I'm sure I will either be handing out candy or walking the neighborhood with my four-year-old. On second thoughts, maybe I'll volunteer for overtime that week...

About 15-16 years ago, Minnesota Trick-or-Treaters went out in the famed "Halloween Blizzard." By the time people put the lights out, we had at least 8 inches of heavy, wet snow down, with more coming. We ended up dragging some of the little kids around on a sled. In the morning, some areas had 30" or so of heavy, wet snow.
Every Halloween since then has seemed, somehow, not so bad.

I was returning from a radiography seminar in Chicago that afternoon so I was in it and got as far as the Red Roof Inn in Woodbury around 7 PM. I couldn't go any farther that night and was within 15 miles of the house. That was the worse driving conditions I've ever been in.

That was the worse driving conditions I've ever been in. I didn't have to drive during it and the next day I woke up, looked and didn't even start to shovel the driveway until at least 10:00am. I'm not a cop, paramedic or firefighter, so society isn't served best by me getting on the road when driving conditions are bad.
How long were you stuck in Woodbury?

I was there overnight, then in the morning getting ready to leave, my vehicle (A Dodge) wouldn't start and had to have it towed. It was blowing and snowing still, blizzard conditions didn't let up until later Saturday. Turned out to be a frozen starter relay on the firewall. I finally pulled into the driveway about 4 PM. The final 15 miles on Saturday was still very slow going with the wind and ice covered roads. It was a hell of a two days I'll not forget. Luckly I did'nt wind up in the ditch out in no mans land between Menomonie and Hudson.

We don't celebrate Halloween...just another bullshit commercial excuse to sell crap. We draw the heavy drapes, turn off the lights and watch a DVD or surf the net. Oh yeah, and turn OFF the door bells.

Yes I know but it's still fun to get out my al gore mask and scare hell out of the neighbor kids when they come to the door looking for treats.

Al Gore's not all that scary; I show 'em their share of the National Debt. They run away screaming.

Scaring the kids by using an Al Gore mask goes way beyond the bounds of human decency. You could be held responsible for permanently traumatizing the kiddies. Show some compassion, eh, and restrict yourself to simply wearing a Billary mask. That way, they will be effectively lobotomized and won't even be aware of their own suffering.

PLEASE, let's all be Politically Correct here! Some of the Mslim Green Card holders may be offended and not let their children visit this NG.
Oh, and don't even THINK of mentioning Jell-o...

Our local elementary no longer does anything for Halloween, due to parent complaints and the parents complaining weren't Muslims. Care to take a guess as to how said parents collectively might best be described?

Was it you who said the True Gospel was in Matthew 5, or someone else?

Maybe that's because you don't know what > quotation marks are for. Regardless of whether you thought it was me or not it shows what you think of DH since it was his comment. I notice you didn't have any wise-a.s remarks when he posted that comment. Obviously it's not the message but the messenger you are against. That is very much like what happened in Louisiana a few days ago. That state elected an East Indian as their governor. They cared more about the message he carried than his appearance or heritage. This is in broad contrast to what you elitist liberals that are rooted in the NorthEast would ever do. The Deep South elected a non-white to lead them, what irony!

Usually the first sign is "stopping by", then "I'm leaving now", followed by "I just stopped by to see how things were here", etc.

If you posted it, it was yours. If you want to quote, try quotation marks. I don't keep a running inventory of the dialogue here.

If you want to quote, try quotation > marks. I don't keep a running inventory of the dialogue here. That's pretty weak back-pedaling. The fact remains you made a snide comment about the remark. It wasn't my remark but one of your idealogues.
witfal - 23 Oct 2007 17:59 GMT >> BTW, define "true Gospel", in your own words. > > I get my guidance from sources like the 5th Chapter of Matthew. Guidance, certainly. But the True Gospel has yet to be defined on this group.

I can hunt for it and resend it.

"True Gospel" might have been a little over the top.

*I'll* be brave and guess...., was it conservative Christians? I hear tell that Wiccan's don't much care for negative depictions of witches either. Can't please everyone when it comes to a favorite mythology. Same sh.t, different century, sans bloodshed. So far.

The 'holiday' of Hallowe'en is known to go back even in Christian religions for hundreds of years.
Religion aside, that's not the point. The point I was getting at is that Hallowe'en is an AMERICAN tradition. I have no problem with people moving here; become part of the culture or ignore it. But don't force YOUR belifs on EVERYONE. That's the ideal the country was founded on to begin with.
If you think Hallowe'en is offensive, by all means, ignore it! But what's happening is that a few are causing a ruckus, and the schools, public offices, etc, bend over backwards to appease the few.
If you don't like American culture, by all means; you are now free to LEAVE the country!
