Trick Or Treating In AUS

[NightHavoc]

Australia should stick to its own festivals and traditions Celebrating some other country's festival/tradition's just because we can doesn't sit right with me.
On the other hand I believe that the Super Cheap Auto Bathurst 1000 should become a national holiday.This would also include AFL Grand Final day and the Final Day of the final ashes test series. That would be sweeeeeeeeet

To bad it would be "Super Cheap Auto Bathurst 1000 public holiday". I don't really give a shit about V8s anymore anyway. Ford cut its funding so there is like 8 Fords in a 30 or so car field. Not enough people care about V8s full stop.

Now the AFL Grandfinal day would be a good idea but it is always on a saturday so it doesn't really matter.

I love where i live. Up a big hill or two which kids can't be bothered to walk up, mwhahahahhaha!

Australia =/= America, our traditions and culture rarely overlap, let's keep it that way.

 

[Captain Bobbossa]

Well it's not an american holiday, there are shit loads of countries that celebrate halloween, america just celebrates it to the extreme compared to everyone else.

 

[blankedboy]

Most countries celebrate Halloween... I don't.

Don't know about people not caring about v8's mate the numbers at the events keep growing except Queensland V8's are a serious part of aussie culture and need to keep being recognized besides ford should bounce back and put some more funding in hopefully it ain't aussie if there is no red vs blue on the track!

 

[Blackality]

I don't understand why there's people celebrating it here either. This is not even an anglo-saxonic country.

I guess it's the american influence. If you want to be edgy and cool you must import holidays.

 

[StBishop]

We also have royal shows.

Do you get a public holiday for those? :O
In perth, Queens' Birthday Holiday coincides with our Royal show

Yeah, I'm in Perth too, but I've lived elsewhere and they have Monday or Friday off for the show regarless of the Queens Birthday.

There were people protesting on Martin Place in Sydney today about how Halloween is not a public holiday, and how it should be one.

I draw the line there. Halloween has not, and will never be of use to Australia, it has no significance for us, and those who perpetuate it as such need to be smacked upside the face.

Idiots abusing our (assumed) right to protest..

Also, you'd be surprised by how many people actually dislike AFL, rather than just not care.
Where I grew up AFL was "GayFL" and if you played it rather than League, it's because you weren't any good at League.

I agree that V8's are a pretty big part of Australia but Red vs Blue isn't Aussie at all.

Both are Yank companies mate. I think Nissan should be allowed back in to be honest.

I'm a gigantic hypocrite. Last night my mates and i used halloween as an excuse to dress up and get drunk as all hell, but tonight i have a sign on my door saying "Trick-or-Treaters Will Be Shot. Survivors Will be Shot Again" with pumpkins drawn on it, so go figure, I guess.

I agree. The red vs blue idea never really appealed to me.

GayFL, what is this. *cough*Hoppa*cough*

This thread is anti trick or treating not necesserally anti-halloween. Besides it is very Australian to make weak excuses to have a piss up.


Also Anti-Halloweeners (yeah that's right we get a capital letter now), I have just found out that all three of my younger sisters are out trick or treating. Two of them are too old for it even if I did allow it. What do?

 

[SovietX]

We Australians just cant be arsed embracing it. We only like holidays which let us have a day off work.

I love Halloween and the history behind it, and I wish we did get into it a bit more but I dont think its going to happen.

Its not really an 'American' thing, heaps of countrys get into the spirit, but we only ever see on TV and in movies the Americans doing it.

 

[Jewrean]

WHy ares kids going around for asking treats in Australia? ive had 5 kids in 2 groups ask for chocolates like really its a american holiday i got nothing against the americans its just that why are kids in Aus celebrating it?

every kid that comes to my door i just wanna say go away and i do expect politely for instance 'Halloween is a American thing' and 'Santa doesn't exist'[Not Really] but what do you say to kids that come to your door?

I only saw one family of kids walking around and they didn't come to my house. No one did. Phew!

Will Hopoate's a good mate of mine, actually...

And where i grew up you only played League if you liked having other men stick their fingers up your bum. God we are a classy country. We should just be honest and have a public holiday for drinking and fights.

Except Nissan is Japanese. Personally i think we should let Thales Australia race the Bushmaster IMV's. That would be worth watching.
