Hooliganism is a weird way to say religious bullshit.

Why would shifting the day, by one I might add, change the amount of hooliganism?

Because Halloween is associated with the devil and the religious wackos can’t have our children celebrating the devil.

So by celebrating it a day early, it's a loophole, and god can't get mad.

Yeah it's like how butt sex doesn't count as sex cause it's just in a butt

Unless you both have a penis. Then they put you in a camp and attach electrodes to your chest and shock you while showing you porn and call it therapy.

Sounds like that could go both ways. “Don’t threaten me with a good time” sort of deal.

You ever think about how someone at those camps needs to curate that playlist? Or perhaps the owner already having the perfect gay porn playlist was the inspiration for the camp..

We love our moral panics here in the US. Especially Satanic panics.

Wow. I just got reverse-onioned.

Sadly, I didn't. I live in Iowa. Just learned about "beggars night".

Yeah... It's weird to wrap your head around. Didn't have a special night down in the southern bible belt but they do here in the midwest.
