What is wrong with decorating for Halloween?

I have never understood the American penchant for dressing up. And to use a religious festival, the eve before all saints day, to dress like prats and beg sweets from total strangers is one strange custom. But then, if all you have are happy days invented by Mad Ave to increase the size of their own wallets, I guess you should just make the best of it. Fathers day, Secretaries' day, Granny's Day, Dog's best friend day... who cares.... just go out and BUY something!

WHat about kissing the arse of some family from the dark ages who killed it's way to the top? That's odd. YOu must admit. Completely regressive and barbaric.

Halloween is a holiday dedicated to pure fun and creativity.

I think it is one of the best holidays of the year. No religious connotations, just pure fun & laughter.

Halloween is All Hallows Eve
All Saints Eve
The day before All Saints Day.
It is ONLY religious.
Marketing man has persuaded Americans (and to a lesser but growing extent the more ignorant Brits) that because saints happen to be dead that it has something to do with ghosts. And you just lap it up. Not only All Hallows Eve though. Mothering Sunday too. We have Mothering Sunday, it is a church festival, it takes place in March. Mad Ave had to Americanise it so they could take even more of your hard earned cash. Then they invented all the others. Stuff the world. Sod the starving. Go shopping America!
In our house we play 'duck apple' at Halloween and Grandmother makes a tin of treacle toffee, supposed to be for Bommie night but we get ours early. (I don't know why, but I do know we are not persuaded by advertising nonsense to rush out and buy even more unwanted crap).

Now I suppose you will ignore the points made and concentrate on the childish pastime of trying to better your betters. Well, you have that freedom.

Are you saying that there is a family in the UK who originated in America during the reign of the boy bush?
If you are referring to the Royal Family we dont actually kiss their arses, indeed most people accept that their only function today is as part of a rather successful tourist industry. China has Pandas, we have Royals. You, unless there have been some very late and unexpected developments, have no one.... unless, of course, you count John Wayne!!

The UK got that unfortunate reputation at the beginning of the 20 Century at a time of intense hardship and poverty. Rather like you people living in what became the dust bowl. Not many pleasant smiles then were there?
But, we are nice people. We would not poke fun at your particular gaping maws. It is much more fun to recognise and call you on your incredible stupidity.
And, my dear colonial friend, you make it particularly easy for us to remember just how stupid are many Americans. Toodle Pip.

All Saints Day is religious, all hallows eve is debatable.

But the holiday we celebrate is not religious in any way. Holidays evolve according to how society celebrates them. All Hallows Eve has evolved to Halloween, which is completely secular. Dressing up as monsters isn't religious.

Christmas started as Yule, and then became a christian holiday when the christian missionaries found out it was easier to convert the pagans if they let them keep their old holidays with new meanings.

First of all, I don't say "stuff the world" or "Sod the starving". But I do enjoy my holidays. If someone comes up with a gimmick that will get more people into their stores, more power to them. Its how they make a living.

I give a substantial amount to charities. But I also enjoy my life and take care of my family.

Some do rush out and buy stuff, but many, many people are not so easily swayed as you seem to think. Just like the generalizations of your cultures, the generalizations you hold of our are inaccurate to a large degree.

Neither did we see any great success emanating from the last eight years of bushism. But you are right, in as much as you appear to equate Marxism with the forms of communism seen in the last 100 years. Of course, not all of that communism has been Marxism. In the same way that bushism does not represent capitalism per se.
You say that Marxism has not been successful but do you know what the aims. short and long term, of Marxism are? We may assume that the ambitions of communists must be spoken in the same language as the aims of non communists. But you know what we say about the word 'assume'.
Left wing movements have almost eliminated the British ruling aristocracy, they got rid of the corruption of the Russian Royal family, they destroyed the corrupt nationalist system of China and eliminated the Batista regime in Cuba.
No one will convince me that the world would be a better place for the continued existence of these crooks.
It is true that no Nirvana stands as evidence of the success of Marxism but certainly in can be said that in many cases the governed population has seen improvements in their lot which would not have been possible under the previous regimes.
You should read Engels' 'The Condition of the Working Classes in England.' It is freely available at Project Gutenberg, and then tell me that left wing politics has never been successful.

We actually saw a lot of prosperity and positive things happen under Bush, but our system of government is democracy, not Marxism. I didn't equate Marxism with other forms of communism, but they are all pretty similar with regard to failure. No, you don't have a Nirvana standing as evidence of the success of Marxism, because Marxism is not successful! You cite laughable examples, known for their brutality, violence, and oppression, not for their freedom and prosperity.

I don't need to read any of your pinhead Marxist books, that's what the fuck is wrong with you, and Marxists like you! You've read too much, you think you know something the rest of us don't understand, because Marxism sounds really good when you're reading about it, that's why I said, it looks good on paper. You know how to read something in a book and believe it, but you do not know how to think. A thinking person would be able to see the dismal history of Marxism and how it fails, and understand there is a reason it looks good on paper (in a book) but fails in actual practice.
 
No country in history has ever tried or practiced Marxism or even communism, on a country-wide scale.

I don't believe in Marxism theoretically, though. I do think people need incentive. I don't think pure capitalism works either.

The answer lies somewhere in between, but no one has really stumbled across it yet...

not yet you haven't.....are you claiming that by visiting every asteroid and meteor in the universe you have shown 'testability'?.....if that is your criteria, then creation is also testable, since we merely have to wait until God returns to have evidence......that would be faster than waiting until science has explored every corner of the universe......how is the speculation regarding extraterrestrial origin falsifiable......and what about the issue of the origin of extraterrestrial life?.....you still have failed to answer either of those questions.......

What is it that you don't understand about "testable"? Alls one has to do is obtain an extraterstrial object and examine it for signs of life. BINGO! The hypothesis is testable! What is it that you don't understand about that?
