Why is Halloween dead, when so much of the female population dresses up like large black ghosts?

Besides, Halloween interferes with the grand festivities of car burning season in France.

All their cars and buses are burning anyway. Every night is Halloween in France.

Well, now you can celebrate a night of fear for real, when "students" and "youths from Northern African nations" run riot in and about London, setting fires and murdering innocents on the anniversary of their last spree...

Wonder whether that's because they now have their own kinder, gentler version of Halloween courtesy of the masked "youths" who burn cars, buses, and buildings year round...

Why do they need ghosts and witches when they have the government?

Why is Halloween dead, when so much of the female population dresses up like large black ghosts? It probably has something to do with the fact that Halloween has been deemed satanic and unholy by what passes for wise men within the Islamic faith. Here in NY, mooselimbs go to be early and turn out the lights to avoid the evil practice of giving candy to children.

Who needs Halloween? France has islamic 'youths' who dress in masks everyday and cause mayhem.
Maybe all France needs is 365 Devil's Nights. Maybe France will not get a choice in this.
To the French "anti-Americans": Will you be anti-Amrerican when you plead for our help to liberate you from these islamofascists? Will you stab your own Armed Forces and Police in the back as you did in the 1940s? Will the new grand mosque in Vichy be your capital building? Will you EVER wake up and see reality????

I wish the commercial excesses of Halloween would die out here too.

But Devil's Night seems to have become a weekly institution.

My French press is much more reliable.
Better taste too.
The signature block says it all.

Isn't that part of the attraction of Halloween--focusing on the dead???
To: presidio9
But does anyone celebrate All Saint's Day in Frogland anymore? There must be a few left. Sad.
