Wow. I'm sorry I asked! TBH, I'm a bit shocked at how judgemental you are, BoP.
I certainly don't think Halloween is "evil". And I hope the OP has a great time, and really enjoys eating her pumpkin and other Halloween related items. While you are presumably sitting indoors muttering about how evil everyone having a good time is. I wonder who'll have a better evening...0 -
Seems like a simple "I'll go my way & you go yours" here. The op was asking for advice about using pumpkins. Def. no mention of who agreed with trick or treating or what she plans to do on Friday & how opinions on here would change any of her potential plans. Yep, just read it back...no mention of tricks, no mention of evil, no mention of her going out to knock on any doors, no mention of weird cakes...0

I do not chose what you do. But your activity, and evil act, should not be imposed on others. Would you like me to drive up your street at midnight playing the Sex Pistols song Bodies at full blast?
I do, and I live my life to the full. But what I do not do is follow sheep. You buy your sweets, trick, evil things and specially made cakes at excessive prices. Me, I know that next week, they will be less than half price, and me, I will celebrate my birthday knowing I got a bargain, because the emporiums did not get as rich selling to the likes of evil doers.

I would report your posts if it wasn't for the fact that I'd rather people see them and laugh at you. You are insanely ridiculous.
I'll stick to being evil for buying pumpkins :rotfl: :rotfl: and you stick to hiding in the corner in your tin foil hat, yeah? Just stay off my threadIf women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -

but why ever not would you report my post. Are you so concerned that someone, who currently has a tag line advising people to avoid evil, that I would be so concerned. I am on here everyday, and at this time of year, advise people not to indulge in an event that, s by its tagging of trick or great, hurtfull to the elderly and vulnerable.
If, instead of being high horses on my first post in this thread, you had to comment, instead of reading my tag line I suppose one could cry off to mummy bear, if people have differing opinions.
Our local police, in Gloucestershire again, are asking people who want nothing to do with the idiots, tobplace in their window a sticker. Just like happened in our recent past in countrys not to far from our shore. Those who venture tomorrow will get short thrift if they knock at my door, disturbing my tea, my peace. It is not an invasion I want, or need.
As for calling me insanely ridiculous, I will leave that on this thread, as it shows an attitude that I would consider not in keeping with this parish.0 -
With respect, I think you have some issues. I also have taken no noticed of your 'tag line'
I don't quite care what happens where you live and none of it has anything to do with me.
As requested, please stay off my thread, unless you actually have anything constructive rather than crazy to say, in regard to ideas for using up the excess pumpkinIf women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0 -
And here. Advise.

Note: Why do we have the police advising not to visit the elderly or vulnerable people in case the evil people frighten them.0 -

2 You don't care what happens where I live, yet you do not prevent evil happening to your neighbour.

Oh dear me. You say I hope I never experience evil. My dear. Ethiopia 1984, long before some Buerk. Check my posts. It is there. Evil. Now what would that be. Oh, boogar I was shot at. Or rather the plane I few in was shot at.Again.. A.get off my thread. B. Stop using the word 'evil' in such a manner, I truly hope you never experience evil.Buying pumpkins is not evil, trick or treating kids is not evil. An axe wielding murderer is evil. C.Get some help
Dropping food parcels on ants. Ethiopia 1984. The needy did not get the old. They were of weak. The fit did. We could not drop he food on the needy, but had to drop it away from the,. The fit got to it first.
Did the needy get it. Not without paying. This was man against fellow man. Have you seen evil? No. But you promote it. Carrying on a act that forces untold hurt on other is to me evil.
Now have you experienced evil. Carried out by their fellow man?
I find no contrast with your axe wielding murderer.0 -
Do not prevent evil happening to my neighbour? Well, how am I meant to prevent evil happening to anyone?
And no, trick or treating IS NOT EVIL. Now please go or your posts will be reportedIf women are birds and freedom is flight are trapped women Dodos?0
