nothing cute about Halloweens

PS: I’m not takling about something on the crotch.

Like, when they showed the big ass bag of candy, ” Sasuga, America ”

…. Yeah, great reporting.

Then again, this is a wide show. Their news credibility is next to none.

seriously, i do not care about your ego.

–However if you like I assure you I will not say anything more in this particular thread. No need really.–

i like you doing that. if you dont need anyway.

lol.. still trying to say the last word?

Now you are simply lying. You did respond to me, and the proof is there for all to see. Your increasingly desperate attempts to salvage something from the wreckage of your responses is embarassing you. As is your equating of a smutty childish screen name like “longus dickus,” which represents the sort of “humour” most people grow out of before they hit their teens, with something like “overthinker,” which is not remotely smutty or childish. Unless you seriously think my screen name is “overthiker” (as in over-thicker) and that it refers to something smutty, in which case you have demonstrated a complete failure to even read.

And for God’s sake learn to spell. It makes your comments seem even more inane.

「…ホームパティーなど開くときに、たくさんの子供にいっせんにお菓子を配ることができるからなんだそうです。」

So…it’s big so they can put out the candy at home parties and give it our to children.

revision! in the southern hemisphere its a summer festival.

dude.. Christmas is still a winter festival.

We owe the fat man to Coca-Cola–

“the fat man in red”

that is comming from “the overthiker”. lol..

—-And don’t forget that YOU responded to something that *I* posted, not the other way around. You are the one dragging this out for no obvious reason.—-

i responded nothing. i just dont let you being an arrogant arsehole who think the last word makes his blabering being the truth..

The eloquence of your riposte floors me. But then what else to expect from someone with the screen name of “longus dickus”?

“and now tell me who is the studborn here?!”

Oh, I’m very studborn. Born of a stud, am a stud.

And don’t forget that YOU responded to something that *I* posted, not the other way around. You are the one dragging this out for no obvious reason.

Christmas was a winter festival.

–longus dickus stubbornus–

yeahh?

–Oh, can you actually present any evidence Christ WAS born on Christmas Day? Anything from the Bible, that is, not later attributions, which (as I have demonstrated) are not accurate.–

you demonstrated nothing. i dont need to present any evidences. i never told he was born in this day. i told you that we celebrate his birth in this day. wich is a whole point for the Christmas. no birth celebration = no relegious and official holiday = no fat guy in red clothes = no gifts and wishes in a name of Jesus Christ and get together. and MY POINT WAS THE JAPANESE DONT ASSIMILATED CHRISTMAS AT ALL BUT INTEGRATED SOME CHRISTSMAS CUSTOMS INTO OWN NEW YEAR PARTY. My talking was over many posting before it was you are started to jump over yearly christians and where the christmas is from.

and now tell me who is the studborn here?!

…as a daily trip to the toilet.

I don’t know … I could describe those times when long-awaited relief arrives as being quite a euphoric experience

Well, Christmas is just Christians taking a ride on older festivals. Christmas is really nothing to do with the birthdate of Christ, …

Christmas is really nothing to do with the birthdate of Christ, but it is formally related to the birth of him, right?

What is the point of this awfully deviated debate?

Oh, can you actually present any evidence Christ WAS born on Christmas Day? Anything from the Bible, that is, not later attributions, which (as I have demonstrated) are not accurate.

You are way out of your depth here….

Read what I said. “Christmas was not the birth of Christ, nor did the holiday originate with Christians.” —

to say that you must know when the Jesus was born. sooo, can you tell us when he was “realy” born?

Incidentally, what is your native language?

in my opinion the only holyday wich is realy assimilated and developed at perfect in Japan is the Saint Valentine’s Day.

Valentines day was invented to sell greeting cards and chocolate. But actually Japan was that holiday all messed up as well (assuming we are comparing to the US since the topic was US holidays). In Japan women give chocolate to men on Valentines day. White day in Japan is the one where men give things to women (like valentines in other countries). Anyway, I don’t really care just pointing out that it has been altered in the process of assimilating it.

dude. again japanese celebrate the New Year Holidays the christmas (wich is a part of this NEW YEAR holidays ceebration) is only a very small part of original christmas tradition. (giving gifts and being with family)

The only Christmas tradition I have observed in Japan has been gift giving really. All of the other things that happen around Christmas here could be attributed to New Years like you said. My point was that I like presents and Christmas decorations. So yea I think they do a fine job with Christmas. I like big commercial orgies.

The whole event is simply an excuse to put up lights and buy/receive presents. It’s still a great time to meet up with old friends and family, but I’ve rarely heard the word Christ mentioned outside of church.

1. The roots of Halloween is explained as a Celtic festival to celebrate the fall harvest and to think of the dead. It explains that Halloween corresponds to, so to speak, Obon in Japan. (At the beginning)
2. It explains that Americans tend to think the ghosts as “winter things” in contrast to Japanese who often regard them as “summer things”. (In Japan, ghost tours and telling scary stories are often associated with summer. In the 2nd last topics)

The clip basically emphasizes differences but implies similarities just a little at the same time. It should not be interpreted nor assessed as a serious news material but it is, probably, just a wasteful knowledge for busy people.

I seriously wonder about your comprehension. Read what I said. “Christmas was not the birth of Christ, nor did the holiday originate with Christians.”

Wait – I think I see it. You seem to think that I am so thick that I think the modern festival has nothing Christian about it and that we are all celebrating Saturnalia or something. However I never denied it. I said it is not really about the birth of Christ – that was grafted on by circa 4th century Christians – under the protests of a lot of other Christians, mind.

Incidentally, what is your native language?

The Feast of the Circumcision is a Catholic high holy day – back in the old days it was one of those days where everyone was effectively required to attend Mass. The Feast of the Circumcision is January 1st (7 days after Christmas). New Year’s Day predates Christianity and was another day of drunken revelry in pre-Christian Rome.

By sticking Christmas on the 25th the Catholic Church managed to effectively co-opt two pagan holidays with one deity. Smart scheduling.

no it doesnt. it just say that the date is mixed with roman festival. neither do celebrate the roman festival nor do we follow romanian pagan relligion.

Christmas (pronounced /ˈkrɪsməs/), also referred to as Christmas Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. It is unknown whether this day is Jesus’ actual date of birth, and the date of celebration may have been chosen to correspond with either a Roman festival, or the winter solstice.

That sure seems to confirm what The Overthinker was saying.

whahahahaha hahahahah.. seriously why are you trying to sell apples by colouring them orange?

“Christmas (pronounced /ˈkrɪsməs/), also referred to as Christmas Day, is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that commemorates the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.”

American ‘horror’ is just boring now with everything played out and being ‘remade’ over and over, or there being 6 sequels like SAW.

I wish people realized that sequels should never go beyond a trilogy, and should only go that far if they’re actually scary. Anything more and they’re just greedy attention whores.

you are wrong about Christmas (wich is Jesus Christ birthday in a first matter.)

and you are right about integration of pagan holydays into own relligious calendar.

aside that i agree with aussie.
