Sarah Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 What happens on Halloween out there?Trick-or-treaters come home with white pillsPolice search area with children to find the sourceVancouver police were last night scouring south-east Vancouver after four families reported white pills in their children's Halloween bounty. I heard on the news the little bags with the pills also had an oreo cookie and a tea bag. I assume the person handing it out is fairly new to the country and doesn't generally celebrate the occasion.

Pseudonym Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 It's certainly not as big here as in the US and (I presume) Canada. It kind of depends on where you live, too.I don't think we had any treat-or-treaters here this year - which is always nice. Call me a spoilsport, but I'm not a big fan of Halloween. In essence, it really is just commercialised blackmail - "Give me something nice, or else..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poos_n_wees Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yeah I'm not a big fan of halloween either. This year some kids turned up on our doorstep - no costumes and no adults supervising them - each with a plastic bag demanding lollies.

Truds Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I was walking home from the gym and some kids who were all of about 8/9 years old, unsupervised and no costumes asked me 'trick or treat'.. I said I don't have any treats so lets see a trick.. and they said 'f*&k off b*stard'.. :evil: Oooh... I wanted to give them a good kick up the bum! :shifty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr yoyo Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 i always love how kids from out of the area arrive, generally specific ethnic groups, and always in vanloads. i often wonder...do you even know what halloween is?or you just think its a day you get free food you wouldnt normally have??thankfully it appears to be lessening each year, maybe the message about obesity is getting through...either that or all the freaks out there scare parents so much they wont let there kids out.

I_lift Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 I took my 10 year old son out trick or treating with some of his friends, they were all dressed up and really enjoyed it. When I was that age we never went trick or treating, I feel that I've missed out....unless I pretend to be Andre the Giant next halloween :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
