The world is going crazy people. Truly, certifiably, crazy. A local school system here in Washington has banned Halloween because it offends Wiccans. At least that is among the reasons they are giving for the ban. Another reason is that ‘greater academic achievement’ will be available with the frivolity of Halloween. Right. What’s next, a ban of frivolity?

Oh, and while I’m the topic these pricks stated the ‘Samhain’ was the practice of the Wiccans. What the fuck? That holiday does NOT belong to those sunshine enema, fluff bunny bastards! That particular holiday actually has little to do with Wiccans, as it is a Celtic holiday and the Celts were always a little violent for the Wiccans. And if any Wiccans are reading this, don’t bother arguing with me because you know it is true. Fuck off.

But nevertheless, the holiday is banned in this school system. One must wonder though, whether or not anyone ever bother to research the holiday. Samhain and Halloween are not the same holiday. Never have been and never will be. Hell, most of the time they aren’t even celebrated on the same fucking day. True, the origins of Halloween are rooted in Samhain, loosely, but still rooted. And Puyallup school district, did you know that Halloween was adopted and embraced by most nations in the twentieth century? Did you know that your ‘offensive holiday’ is the shortened version of ‘All Hallows Eve(n)’, as the name would suggest, because it falls the day before ‘All Hallows Day’. I’m willing to bet you narrow-minded assholes don’t know what the other name is though do you? I do. All Saint’s Day. Last I checked no saints were involved with Samhain. This would make Halloween a Christian deal. Like I said, two different holidays.

Digging just a little bit more we can find that a Pope, two popes actually, were responsible for moving the All Saint’s Day feast from the middle of May to November 1. Hmmm…guess that more or less breaks your pathetic argument in half, now doesn’t it?

Back to the source of my daily rage and frustration, the Puyallup school district. These uninformed, right-wing fucktards went on and stated that the celebration of Halloween in mainstream society might offend real-life witches. Really? Being the fair and equal opportunity asshole that I am, if some Wiccan is offended at a twelve-year-old kid dressed up as a green-skinned, warty, pointed-hat wearing witch out of the Brothers Grimm, GOOD! Because if that offends them, then they don’t know their own fucking history and they deserve to be offended. This to all Wiccans, take your delicate sensibilities and read some fucking history! You mewling little troglodytes’.

Last on the list, the bitchy nature of our society as a whole. Many schools have banned ‘Christmas festivals’ and other religious holidays on account of someone, somewhere might be offended. Fair enough. Though these so-called bans almost always seem to be replaced with something so fucking similar it’s not worth the red tape it took to get the ban enforced. Puyallup for example, has a ban on Christmas holidays. But they celebrate ‘winter festivals’ instead. Dandy. What about the Pledge of Allegiance then? Have you been that? Cause if not, you need to. Same fucking principle applies. The term ‘God’ might offend someone, somewhere. But have you banned that, I don’t believe so. No, you’re more interested in banning something you know nothing about. All the while you let things like ‘Thanksgiving’ go on unabated. And since I know I must inform you, Thanksgiving is a holiday which any person should find offensive, as it was a ‘thanks for saving our ass, but now we’re gonna butcher your entire people’ event.

Or what about Columbus Day? All you shit-brained monkeys fucking love that holiday. And for what? An Italian mercenary who got lost then decided it was a good to slaughter, rape, and pillage and otherwise destroy an entire culture.

All right people, I’m out. Later days and have a drunken Halloween.
