Controversial opinions

I’d put pro motocross racers up there too. It has to be one of the most physically demanding sports.

Can't imagine what an MRI of their "innerds" looks like.

You should only take your kids trick-or-treating in your own neighborhood.

I would also include the neighborhoods of friends/relatives that are trick-or-treating with your kids. Seems fair.

When I was a teenager, a friend of mine next door used to trick or treat our neighborhood and then he'd get in his car and drive to other neighborhoods and clean them out. He would come home with a 30 gallon trash bag full of candy. I had outgrown trick or treating by then, but I have I admit that I was a little impressed. Lol

You people sure are opinionated.

It’s downright controversial sometimes.

Deez,

We stopped giving out Halloween candy when teenagers started driving into our neighborhood and trick-or-treating. If you are old enough for a job, you're too old to Tick-or-Treat.

I stopped when I was 10 or 11 and that was just a few years ago.

Maids who wear traditional maid uniforms should be given generous tips.

Fast food workers and coffee making people should receive no tips.

Speaking with a British accent raises your perceived IQ by 10 points.

We still give it out, because we mainly get little British kids and US military family kids. For some reason, the older teens here largely don't do it unless they're escorting younger siblings.

Like you, I quit when I was about 11, and though I'm generally of the opinion that you should "let kids be kids" and keep their innocence as long as possible, for some reason the "almost adult" teens trick or treating on their own has always grated on me. Not saying everybody has to quit when I did, but if you're growing adult body hair and have to shave and wear deodorant, it's time to start letting that particular activity go.

If you still want to sleep on NFL team logo bedsheets, have a stuffed animal in your bed, still like watching the Charlie Brown specials, or get crazy excited about Christmas morning or going to amusement parks, I'm totally cool with that. That's part of what's memorable about being a kid. But don't keep hustling free candy off of strangers when you can go flip burgers and easily buy your own candy.

I’m really old and I still get excited for Christmas mornings. But that’s just me.

I do too, but it's hard to ignore the fact that the next month's MasterCard bill is gonna be my problem. Lol. The excitement is still there, bit it's blunted a little.

I'm excited every Christmas morning--except for that one year when I stayed up past 3 am putting that big doll house together on Christmas Eve.
