Not my forum.

I can't post that now.

I think any reasonable person could conclude that on Halloween any regular social interactions are a bit different. That is, unless you have children coming to your door dressed as zombies in the middle of March. So actually, the reasonable expectation of a child in that case, given the day, is that they would receive candy. That you slide in your tract alongside that candy is being forced.

I would tell you, that if I were walking with my children and I saw that they received that from you, they would have to walk back up and return it to you.

And that can happen, but again it's not reasonable. You don't want something, don't come for it. But calling it forced is hilarious.

If I trick or treat at your house and accept your tract, will you accept my vanity-published memoir?

When my kids come to your house of course I would.

Officer, I understand it's Halloween, but they're coming to my door, I shouldn't have to wear pants if they are ringing my doorbell.

Always the extreme by the one losing the discussion.
It's not even a valid analogy.

Sure it's forced. The kids aren't there to be given anything other than candy.

Is Brett really this stupid? I mean, we know the answer, but still...

 

[BearDen]

To be fair, I would think a tract would fall into the "trick" category, no?

No, forced is them saying no thank you and me placing/shoving it in their pumpkin basket. I now know what to get you for Christmas.

So I assume you tell the kids that come to your door for trick-or-treating what the tract is, what it represents, and ask them if they would like it along with their candy?

My every Sunday morning church-going mother would have us go to our pastor's house for trick-or-treating. He always had shitty candy, but never once did he give these tracts out. I can only imagine what brett would say if his kids got something similar from a Muslim family.

Yes, I keep them at my home as long as possible to avoid them from going to another house. LOL

Kids - "Trick-or-Treat"

Brett - "Define 'Trick-or-Treat'?"

Free parenting tip.

my kids would say "Thank you and Happy Halloween."
Just like they do today.

So you're handing something to children without telling them what it is first?

what's a tract?

brett,

If I were retirement consultant would you be alright with me passing my business cards out with candy?
