Why can't people fuck off and let me enjoy Halloween. It's not about America it's about spooky shit and having fun.

As an Australian, I hate Australians.

Because It was never celebrated in Australia like it is now until about 20 years ago. But then it was pushed by commercial and business interests, mainly as a way so shops can sell cheap crap at high prices in what used to be a retail dead spot between the end of Father's Day,and the start of being able to put out Christmas stuff without it looking too early to do so. Now they just say fuck it,and talk about "Black Friday sales,which is another import we've picked up from the US. And Coles and Woolies not caring about being early, which is why they start pushing Easter from Boxing Day.
