It is what it always was, a day to dress up and get free candy FOR MINORS. Adults may have “fancy dress” parties but it is not or has never been the weirdo fest alleged by the left wing propaganda rags.
Then you are sadly uninformed.
Just next door to me in Dallas is a MASSIVE public homosexual Halloween street party. This is repeated in dozens of large cities nationwide. It is indeed a coast-to-coast weirdo fest.
Satan uses many things, including the homosexuals, but the root of it is still Satan and unregenerate man fulfilling his wishes.
I suppose we should ban Mardi Gras too.
Who said anything about banning anything?
It's morphed into something you possibly wouldn't recognize, starting at the fag end of the 20th century and accelerating since the beginning of the 21st.
Did you read the article?
In California Halloween became an adult day decades ago.
One of the funniest things is, that while a man dressing up as a woman for Halloween used to be rare and funny in the 1960s, in recent decades in California one couldn’t help but notice how many straight men were doing it, it was clearly way beyond just the coincidence of a few guys choosing the same costume.
Halloween is a large drag show in Dallas’ queer center. While these homos insist that they are men, they repeatedly portray themselves as women. A very telling disorder.
Ridiculous.
Good Lord.... *rolls eyes*
Avoid the Castro distrct in San fran on Halloween.
AND all 364 days in between.
Some people go hog wild with goofy decorations. I see that as harmless fun.
The trend that concerns me is the trend toward goriness in the paper stores and transient Halloween stores. Some of the stuff is very morbid and gruesome.
Goriness has always had an appeal to a segment of society. Some people like the shock value, but other people seem to have a perverse liking for it. I've lived for a while, and I've noticed a rapid and disturbing increase in interest.
I see it as more of a reflection of our culture's declining spiritual state, rather than a cause of it.
True. Halloween costumes used to be cartoon-ish, very unreal and decidedly fantasy. Nowadays, they try to replicate the gore in a shockingly realistic manner.
Try Fantasy Fest in Key West - their parade is the Saturday before Halloween, I believe. Castro has nothing on them.
Spare us please from two-penny intellectualization. It's an occasion that gives people already inclined that way to dress up and play Make Believe. That isn't only gay people, but it's a whole lot of them.
We just finished Sukkot. Purim is five months away.
“All I got was a rock. “
I just KNEW that would be one of the comments.
Just surprised it took so long.
Two words: Key West
nudity and public copulation do not count as costumes.
