    I don’t know, I feel like I need to side with the guy here. I know it’s Halloween and all, but from what I can tell it’s not the kids taking an unfair amount, but the parent telling the kids to and helping them take an unfair amount. It’s just the same American brainworms that we constantly dunk on in this site, that inability to consider anyone else but oneself, and not only that but it’s the parent teaching their children those American brainworms. To me it doesn’t matter if it’s Halloween cause that same attitude is present at all other times and it’s an anti-social attitude

      That really does just explode my brain. I went ToTing with a couple of friends and their kids, and they got increasingly depressed as they watched the kids load up simply because they didn't want kids eating that much junk food.

      Imagine going to a single house and yanking all the sweets when there are literally dozens of houses on the block ready to give you more than you could ever want.
