Originally Posted By WorldDisney I just saw that. My god, that was unreal!! Who are these sick, crazy people? Obama is scary??

Another notch on the belt for a McCain supporter in the classless, bigot and idiot column. I feel for this woman and the rash of hatred she's going to get from neighbors for turning away KIDS on Halloween. Again, unfreakingreal!!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think she's just doing her part to help stop childhood obesiety... : ) Seriously though, I think everybody involved with that story needs to get over themselves. Was she right to only give certain kids candy? Not really, but there's nothing you can do to stop her. It's certainly a lot less offensive than hanging effigies all over the place. More importantly, was it right for the other parents to complain? Absolutely not. While Halloween is celebrated by handing out candy, I don't think that folks should get upset when somebody doesn't want to spend their hard earned money. I find it absurd that they are upset that they aren't receiving gifts (however small) from somebody. It's a woman's money and a woman's choice. : )

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 It's not so much that she doesn't have the right to do whatever she wants, but the other parents have a right to complain too. The woman could have easily turned out the lights and handed candy to nobody. The fact that she was letting some, but not others just invites bad feelings. It's not like the other parent's could prevent her from doing what she did, but they sure could be vocal about it. It's just mean...how is a 4 or even 9 year old supposed to understand exactly what it is she's doing, other than turning them away?
