Cities ban teenage trick or treaters

I don't know about the article, but I will say that teenage trick or treaters seem to be the rudest little shits on the planet. I think this year, the IndyColtsFan house is going to have some new rules regarding trick or treaters:

1. No candy if you can't even be bothered to say "Trick or treat."
2. If you aren't dressed up, no candy.
3. If you look like you're 35, forget it.
4. If you're in a party of kids and don't say "Thank you," the others won't get candy until you do.
5. If you're wearing Patriots clothing or gear, you'll probably get your ass punted out of my yard. :awe:
 
lolwut?

Adults have more fun on halloween than any other holiday and it's not because you get to act like a kid. You get to dress up and go party with chics in hot slutty costumes. If you think it's just for kids, you're doing it wrong.

This is always what I think of with Halloween.

you do that all year round anyway. Maybe you'll meet your daughter at one of those "ween" parties in a slut suit.
 
Really? I kind of associate this sort of stupidity with Democrats and their "Regulate Everything!" mentality.

Have you ever read some of the stuff she did while she was in office?

Please...she'd have the gestapo kicking down your door in a hearbeat if she could.
 
While I do believe that while you eventually get too old for trick or treating, this is hardly a matter for the city.
 
OMG no candy for those damn mexicans

they already get free lunches at school courtesy of the tax payers (on top of the free education as well)...not to mention the free health care they will get from any obesity related health issues...no need to contribute to these costs...
 
For those worried about older kids keep 2 sets of candy dishes.

1 Good candy. For younger kids and those that are nice and earn it.

2 Cheap candy corn type mess. For older kids and those that don’t even try.

When you open door wait to see what they say, do, and wear. If good then get dish1, bad gets dish2. After a couple people get dish 2 usually older kids don’t come as often.

Really good kids I let them just grab fist fulls of candy near the end of the night.

Oh and I like to put weird things in to see what the kids do. Like tomatoe paste, half a sandwich, some weird canned shit from the Asian store (wifes Asian so I got plenty to work with), and other odds and ends. Had 1 kid take my tomatoe paste and ran off while I was screaming it’s a joke. He just said “I will give it to my mommie”. His sister just had a blank stare and said “hes weird, I want chocolate.”
 
Well I can't blame them looking at my own experience lately. My wife loves to hand out candy...we probably spent $100 or so on chocolate and non-chocolate options can hand out bags full of stuff.

This past year some older kids kept coming back to our door. They were not even dressed up. They DEMANDED she give them another bag. She protested saying she didn't have enough to give more than one bag to each kid.

Little fuckers said "oh is this about no costumes? we robbers, you better give us candy".

By that time I came to the door and got rid of them.

This is the kind of crap that ruins it for everyone.

Well I was not yelling at him as much as I was toward his mom, she was at the end of the driveway. I was more afraid she thouight I was giving that out with other house junk, hey kids who wants a VCR??? I did not know the girl was his sister till she spoke up so I was relieved after that.

My son is 20months old this year so I will dress him up and have some fun as well. My wife just rolls her eyes at me. 🙂
 
Some cities actually set trick or treat night on the 28th to avoid conflicts with weekend activities. Sucks to be a kid these days
 
"When I was a kid my father said to me, 'You're too damn big to be going trick-or-treating. You're done," Eckert said.

That's exactly what I said to my 13 year old son this year.
 
I got no problem giving candy to teens if they're in costume. Physical maturity is faster than emotional maturity for a lot and I ain't gonna take away their fun and push them into adulthood too quickly.

I do have a basket of condiment packets accumulated from takeout places to give out to punks/non-costume wearers. Ketchup, mustard, taco sauce, soy sauce...

may as well toss in a few banana flavored condoms.

ha-ha-ha-ha! That's a great idea. I think I have some of those in a drawer somewhere...they're probably 5-6 years old...but should be appropriate for this application...😛
 
Today's youth [teenagers] are more rude and won't go the extra effort to at least wear a decent costume or say "trick or treat". They show up wearing street clothes [and maybe a mask] expecting free candy without asking.

It's gotten so bad [due to the increase of illegals] - a lot of the kids show up and just open their bag without saying anything because mommy and poppy won't teach their kids ENGLISH [last time I checked, there is only one officially recognized language in the United States - learn to speak English motherfruckers!]

So - a few years ago - we started keeping the lights off and stopped handing out candy [we instead go to Halloween parties at friends]

Oh really, please show me where you "checked" that.

There is no official language at the federal level, not even English. It's up to the states. Last I checked, Quebec was a Canadian province. 😉

There may be states that require Spanish versions of all official documentation, but I'm not sure. Many corporations and private businesses have such policies. It'd most likely be Texas and/or California if so.

I'm not a fan of Halloween either, in general, but Spidey is right here. It's basically an excuse to get plowed and party with mostly-naked co-eds and adults.

It's the rare day of the year where our generally prudish sentimentality as Americans is thrown to the curb and hedonism becomes acceptable across all classes and cultures.

I think this is also why no other country gives a shit about Halloween (though it's slowly spreading in some parts of the world). It's basically "every day" for more socially advanced cultures. 😉
 
I never got to Trick or Treat as a kid but all my friends were younger than me so my twin brother and I would help. One year, we pushed our friend around in a wheel barrow like he was a dead body that was being hauled around. We'd set him up on the porch, ring the bell, and ditch him there. He'd jump up when they got near.
