The decision should be made by the parents and the kids, not the governmentThe only abuse taking place is that of the governments taking away the freedom of choice of parents and children, that is what bothers me the most. The other bothersome thing was they did this 2 days ahead of time when the weather would be at its worst, the forecast for Wednesday evening isn't nearly as bad and we all know weathermen suck at predicting weather more than a few hours before anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neighborhood folks got together and coordinated it themselves, regardless of the "government" rescheduling. So, if you don't want to follow the GOV'T schedule, then the folks can get together and set it up themselves -- rain or shine. I blame the parents and neighborhoods for not handling it themselves.

I blame the parents and neighborhoods for not handling it themselves.Unless I'm missing your point, that is what I'm saying. They don't need to step in and handle that. Parents weren't given the chance to handle it themselves like they used to 20 years ago. I'm not really blaming anyone here because if the weather was like last night on Wednesday night the whole point is moot and I'd have zero complaints because it would be a safety issue even I wouldn't argue. I just have a hard time believing the weather will be any worse than any time I've ever been outI'm not turning this into a political thing though and that was not my intention. I just don't approve of being told what to do limiting my freedom of choice. The rest of the sheeple might bow down to it, but I shall not go down without being a loud mouthed pain in someones ass for intruding on my decision making. I could go on and on about how most the general populace is too stupid to make correct decisions on their own and needing someone to do it for them but that is just more opinion with no factual info to back it up or the care to find said facts when I can just apply my superior logic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Then what's to bitch about?If the parents are handling it then you have no complaints and ToT will go on as plannedIf the cities are rescheduling, for the parents that don't coordinate with their neighbors, then what sweat is it off your back if you're in the former group?I guess I'm really trying to figure out what you started this thread for and what you wanted the outcome to be?

The residents then take that as an order and abide because they are dumb and do not care they've just had a freedom of choice hindered upon. The proper protocol should be for the city to sit back and do nothing and let parents and kids trick or treat ON HALLOWEEN at their own risk like it has been for a long time. No coordination is needed in this whatsoever. I am the type of person that finds it a back handed smack in the face by an authority basically saying we are doing this because you're too stupid to make decisions on your own so we will do it for you. That may not be right, but its certainly not wrongbecause I was bored and needed some entertainment and knew if I bitched about something I could entertain myself and maybe others with some good ol fashion bitching and ranting. Secondly, they are messing up my plans and I hate when people do that and I find this meddling unnecessary. Thirdly, lately I like being the "get off my lawn" clint eastwood type for the lulz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not illegal to go out tomorrow -- just because you may think they're implying that it's forbidden, it may just be to get a rise out of the fanatical individual liberty-types to get them to go out in the shitty weather for the lulz.That's probably what I would do if I was in the gov't.

North Royalton did yesterday and I assumed Brecksville and Broadview would follow as the 3 usually make decisions aligning with the others. My Halloween with the gf's niece and nephew is still on...for now and my bitching is now just for the principle of the matter I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's about picking and choosing your battles.If I'm a sheeple because I "let" the gov't dictate that Halloween ToT is on a weekend where it's more convenient for me, and makes it less likely I'll run into sniveling kids or their parents on a Saturday night out to any establishment I frequent.... then I'm a sheeple.

magley64 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 When my niece was 2, my sister didn't think the weather was appropriate for trick or treating that year, so she had my BIL buy a bunch of assorted candy, had my niece dress up in her costume, then she and jimmy ran all around her place that night so her daughter could knock on the doors and say trick or treat.
