    Yes, if for no other reason than providing us with one of the greatest 'holiday' songs ever, Halloween should definitely not be banned. :pac:

    Just after reading about the disgusting incident with the poor swan ... would you be happy to ban halloween?

    I personally hate it - fireworks smuggled in from somewhere, keeping people awake and frightening animals, kids putting bangers in letterboxes and terrorising the elderly, bonfires going out of control, and then when the fire engines arrive, stones are thrown at them?! On top of all that, you have injuries, burns, and kids loosing hands and eyes from not being able to handle fireworks correctly.

    So, shall we ban halloween?

    Now, in fairness, you're just describing a typical night in one of Dublin's less salubrious suburbs! ;):p

    Really though, if you're going to ban every holiday or festival that a small amount of people ruin by going over-the-top, then there would no fun events at all. :)

    yes halloween is my fav time of the year - great childhood memories of building bon fires, guarding it from the kids down the road so they wouldn'd grab our stuff for their own and all the parents would sort out the illegal fireworks for us and launch them as we were too young at the time.

    If you want to ban halloween to stop idiots doing stupid things best go back to sourse and just get rid of the idiots - if it's not halloween they'll be finding other excuses to cause trouble. let me see...Grad nights, birthdays, St. Patrick's day, Stags etc.

    oh and while in mid rand! Christmas is sucking the life out of halloween! that said i do whistle christmas tunes to piss every one off in August - it makes me happy
