we the spaniards have been conquered by usa as halloween shows

i don't see people celebrating haloween here, at least not in the cities.
what we have here is saint patrick day, but i suspect is just an excuse to get wasted, i have to check it though.
is that similar in spain or elsewhere? a lot of people "celebrating"(getting totally wasted) on saint patrick day? .

about your second posts, the politicians are vampires that feed from young blood from here to china...

Halloween was "exported" merely as another commercial thingy designed to make even more money for the industry. It's got no cultural or religious roots here in Germany, either, and apart from people using it as another reason to party I don't see anything beyond that (and media blabbing about it, that is).

Some of you really can take a meaningless event (in the overall scheme of life) and turn it into something dark. As for America's cultural invasions, sorry. But as to Halloween, if you can't find some joy in handing a simple piece of candy or even a healthy treat to a costumed child who is innocent to the negative side of everything, then I pity you.

That would be Irish but also catholic, Saint Patrick is the Patron Saint of Ireland.
