I wonder if this "little fun of Halloween" has a little similarity to how the Nazi German military in WW II had a lot of fun killing millions of innocent civilians for it's few years of existence, until this fun ended for Nazi Germany by the end of the WW II war.
Has anyone noticed any possible similarities of the Ghosts and Goblens of Halloween, and the secret police activites of a military dictatorship ? Both act in ghostly manners, and both do secret and unannounced horrible things to real human beings that the ghosts and goblens don't like.

You ever notice how when someone cuts you off in traffic, it's like Nazi Germany?
You ever notice how when someone has 17 items in the express line, it's like Nazi Germany?
Gum on your shoe= Nazi Germany
hangnail= Nazi Germany
phone bill=Nazi Germany
You know what's like Nazi Germany? The people who compare everything they don't like to Nazi Germany
Okay, I can sort of understand you not liking the pagan nature of Halloween, even if it is also All Saints Day. But you appear to actually believe there is a sinister organisation that actually employs Supernatural beasties to do its dirty work. Seriously, what the fuck?
You are seriously messed up. For someone who lives in Las Vegas to complain about people having fun during Halloween is crazy.
And I forgot, it's "War on Halloween" season again, soon to be followed by "War on Christmas" season.
Finally, after years of searching, we may have actually found the stupidest goddamn person on the planet.
Seriously, they don't get more idiotic than this.
WWII war? You DO know what the letters 'ww' stand for there, right?......... right?
Also, "goblens"? Dude, go crawl back into the dark hole.
Same poster a little later in the thread:
"Maybe the following experiment could be performed.
Do a limited timed ban of Halloween for just ten or fifteen years, and then observe if the over all national weather generally gets better during this period of time."

Seriously, WTF?
The other day a fast food restaurant got my order wrong. It was like Nazi Germany.
I was at a party once when someone showed up without RSVP'ing. It was like Nazi Germany.
The neighbor's dog got into my trash. It was like Nazi Germany.
Sound absurd enough yet?

I never thought I'd see Halloween connected to Nazis. I guess I just wasn't being creative enough...
"Has anyone noticed any possible similarities of the Ghosts and Goblens of Halloween, and the secret police activites of a military dictatorship ?"
No. Just you. Then again, most people suffering from whatever mental illness you appear to have probably see many similarities between things that nobody else does.
"Both act in ghostly manners, and both do secret and unannounced horrible things to real human beings that the ghosts and goblens don't like."
You're weird. Post something else so I can mock that, too.
Huh? Ok so you wonder if children dressed as cartoon characters and superheroes, has a little similarity to waves of Heinkle, Messerchmitt, and Junkers airplanes, dropping tons of explosives on defenceless citys.... And you consider air-raids "fun".....
Lets ask a German vet how much "fun" it was to be shot at by people who mostly just wanted to be left alone...
Most dont seem to have had much "fun". Most lived in a state of profound boredom, punctuated by moments of utter terror.
Or did you forget that (unlike Iraq) Russia could fight back.
There was a guy that disagreed with me today. Immediately I realized that he's 100% exactly like Hitler. And his act of disagreeing with me was just like the Holocaust; actually, it was much worse. I immediately felt like I was stuffed into a concentration camp and put into a gas chamber. And that's putting it mildly.
You are insane.
That is all.
Wait, what?
The major difference between Halloween celebrations and Nazi Germany is that children celebrating Halloween don't go around killing anybody or denying anybody's rights.
And Ghosts and Goblens [sic] do not exist. Does this guy really think that Trick-or-Treaters are supernatural entities rather than just, you know, children with sweet teeth?
False equivalency and history FAIL, dumbass.
I know more about Nazi Germany then I ever wanted to know. Trust me on this one. And no, not once have I *ever* considered the supposed similarities between Nazi genocide and Halloween. Grab a brain, you fucking idiot.

"I thought hams were smarter than this."
Some of us are. But in any group of people, there will be some normal, some slightly strange, and some batshit insane.
As for the quote:
Did you just seriously compare Halloween to the Holocaust?

Yikes, a recursive Godwin! Nasty.
No, noone has noticed the similarities, really, I am not kidding, noone has. Just you, but, to be fair, you're also apparently quite mad, so excuse me if I don't take you serious.

Because dressing up as witches and ghosts, and getting candy from your neighbors is TOTALLY the same as genocide, and this isn't a complete overreaction AT ALL.

Somebody got their house egged, didn't they...? I guess this is a natural progression of "People I don't like/disagree with = Nazi." What's next? The girl who gets your latte wrong is likened to a nazi because your coffee tasting wrong is like poison to you? The guy who flips you off in traffic is a secret nazi because the bird is kinda, sorta, if-you-squint-your-eyes-a-little looks like the nazi salute? I mean...fuck...
Hey, you know what was REALLY like Nazi Germany? Nazi Germany. A holiday where people dress up in costumes and consume a lot of candy and/or booze has absolutely nothing to do with Nazi Germany.
I'm thinking I'm going to be Peter Pan this year. Does that make me just like Himmler?
Probably not since a little fun on Halloween is going to parties if high school/college or trick or treating if elementary school age.
No I have not noticed. One set is meant to be fun. A military dictatorship sucks
No, I haven't.
"Do a limited timed ban of Halloween for just ten or fifteen years, and then observe if the over all national weather generally gets better during this period of time."
So that's why the weather in Sweden is so much worse nowadays!
We've only have American-style Halloween for about fifteen years over here.

Only crazy people. Unfortunately there's not much to prevent you people from living amongst us, and trying to spread your craziness.

"Eva, you do the right half of the street, I'll do the left half. Blondi here is really good destroying trashcans made of Suspected Jew-Aluminium. Aren't you, Blondi? Yes you are! Awww! Good girl!"
...what? This makes just about as much sense as the original post.
OK, let's get this clear. the ghosts and goblins (NOT 'goblens') of Halloween have nothing to do with the true sense of what it is all about. They are purely and American superimposition on what is an old Celtic feast to mark the end of summer. And the mass of ignorance behind this is clearly evident by the fact that goblins have no part in Celtic mythology or folklore.
So, KD7SIZ, would you kindly back off my country's culture and get yourself and education, you ignorant git.
Jezebel's Evil Sister
Makes me wonder, what did old-time idiots compare things they didn't like to before they had Nazis as a reference point?
You know what? That's a really good point. What did pre-1930s people compare political enemies to? I don't think communism was widespread back then, and facism was openly admired by many, so who?
Jezebel's Evil Sister:
Before the Nazis people variously blamed evil on witches, King George, Yankees or Rebels (depending on which side of the Mason-Dixon line), Jews, Muslims (that one is regaining it's old popularity) and the Pope. People have never lacked scapegoats.
Nazi Germany.

All one in the same, aren't they?
EDIT: Whoops, did my post right under someone with basically the same thing. Kind of redundant, oh well.

What? No. Nobody ever has.
This comment was so stupid that I wont even bother to come up with some witty rebuttal. Jeez what an idiot.
@ Mr Spak, That was a great comment, with the KKK pics and all. Very definate similarity.
I seriously have no idea how this topic even got onto QRZ's forums. It's a ham radio site. I use it to find out where my contacts live, so we can send each other QSL cards. The forums are ham interest- contesting, conditions, repairing old radios, hamfests, etc. Who gives a shit about Halloween?
Not seeing the connection, here.
The Nazis were, you know, REAL. Ghosts and goblins? Notsomuch.
Godwin = instant fail.
Aside from that, your argument is moronic beyond belief. One is harmless kid's fun, the other is genocide. If you can't tell the difference, you are retarded.
...secret police try to be sneaky.
Ghosts were invisible first.
Whoooooo, ghost Nazi is stalking you!
The winter is coming! Put out sacrifices for the dead! Scare them away from our houses! Celebrate that we have enough stored up to make it to spring!
Also, Germans didn't really have much fun in that war. They liked the winning part, mostly, and the improved economy. But the 'Final Solution' was not, in fact, selected for its funness. Even they weren't that messed up. (Neither was the Blitz.) In fact, fun really wasn't on the roster much. Halloween is fun, though. And harmless.
Man, that reminds me of the documentary I saw on the History Channel. It talks about how Hitler dressed up as Batman before the Nuremberg speech and went door to door asking for candy. And then he arrested everybody who gave him a slice of halva. And Goebels' Sexy Devil costume was truly terrifying.
Oh, wait, that wasn't the History Channel. That was a half-remembered dream from right before I woke up this morning.
Yeah! And have you ever noticed how Santa sneaks around inside your house in the middle of the night? And you know how the song goes: "he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake"? If that isn't similar to the Gestapo, then I don't know what is!
And have you ever noticed that Santa Claus lives up in the North Pole, and that Hitler's "Aryan race" were northern Europeans? Or that he leaves coal in the stockings of bad children? How can this not be symbolic of the industry of the Nazi war machine or the cremation of the victims of the Holocaust? The similarity between Nazi Germany and Christmas are undeniable!
And what about Easter? Both Easter and Hitler end in "er" and both have a "t" in them. We give children chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks and then invite them to bite the heads off. This is clearly similar to the way that the Nazis dehumanized the Jews and had no qualms about killing helpless Jewish children. And you know how the Easter Bunny encourages children to find the hidden eggs? It's really just indoctrinating children to enjoy the later work of hunting Jews when they become adults. It's the modern form of the Hitler Youth!
It's all so clear now! How could we all have failed to see this?!?
WTF?!?!?!
Goodwin's Law FTW?
Yes, because Gibbinz the Goblin is sure as shit the same thing as CHUCKLEFUCKING HITLER.
Invoking Godwin, complete fail.
Ah, I can't believe I've never noticed this before! Looking into it, I'm finding more similarities between October 31 and Nazi Germany. Like:
1. Halloween and Holocaust start with the same 2 syllables, so they're obviously the same thing.
2. On the night before Halloween, children, or should I say goblins, vandalize people's property by throwing toilet paper on it. This is clearly meant to be a reenactment of Kristallnacht, when the Nazis destroyed the storefronts of Jewish businesses.
3. On Halloween, people dressed in costumes knocking on people's doors asking for candy, just like Nazis dressed in uniforms and knocked on people's doors to ask for information about where Jewish people are hiding.
4. The producers of Call of Duty: World at War and Dead Snow clearly recognized the similarities, as they created media with Nazi zombies.
5. By my estimate, about 23,000 Nazis were born on Halloween.
6. There are some who believe that ghosts and goblins don't exist, and there are some who believe the Holocaust never happened.
Just open your eyes, people, the similarities are endless!
Kids knocking on your door at Halloween isn't exactly the Gestapo bashing the door in at midnight, is it now?
But, hey, they also eat candy in Germany so maybe you have a point.
Yeah, i suppose the difference regarding the existence part plays a bit of a role against the similarities. But i do love the go-to hyperbole of bringing up the Nazis when trying to vilify a subject without any actual reasoning. It's like when every douchebag in the country did completely self serving things in the name of "not letting the terrorists win" after 9/11
I find it funny that the fundies fail to regonize that Hallow's Eve was another attempt to overtake a pagan holiday but failed miserably at it, thus its incarnation of fucking evil.
That and the Godwin is so fucking huge it hurts.
Other than that, I wish I was around US when I was a kid. I really want a good capitalist holiday to have an excuse to move outside in night and scare the living shit out of europe.
..Where I can get pop rocks or Wonka brand candies like pixie sticks in europe?
Collecting candy = murdering Jews, Roma, Slavs, homosexuals, disabled, and political dissidents.
Good to know.
"Has anyone noticed any possible similarities of the Ghosts and Goblens of Halloween, and the secret police activites of a military dictatorship ?"
No. Do you know why? Because that's fucking stupid. That's why.
God, WTF can you say after this?
Freddie Kruger, George Bush and Adolph Hitler. Except Hitler was the only one of them that got elected.
What's next? Christmas is like Nazi Germany?
How about Unicorns are a myth started by the Waffen SS?
Or maybe idiots should just shut their mouths before removing all doubt?
This screams I R Teagagging idjit.
There's a huge difference between donning a goofy costume to go on a door-to-door candy run & WAR, TORTURE, OPPRESSION & GENOCIDAL MASS-MURDER, YOU NIMROD!!
Well, it's official. This is the single most bat-shit crazy argument against Halloween I've ever heard. Ghosts and goblins are sneaky, secret police are sneaky, ergo ghosts and goblins are the SS? Here. Let's play another similarity game.
Table salt, and dry picric acid are both crystalline substances. Please salt your food with picric acid crystals, liberally, let me know how that "word similarity is actual similarity" thing works out for you. Well, after the surgeons reattach your jaw and hands, and the builders are done rebuilding your kitchen.
Idiot.
"The Candy Gestapo" was the first thing I thought of after reading that.
It sounds like some sort of metal band.
I'm going to go copyright that name right now.
I wonder if this "little fun of ham radios" has a little similarity to how the Nazi German military in WW II had a lot of fun killing millions of innocent civilians for it's few years of existence, until this fun ended for Nazi Germany by the end of the WW II war.
Has anyone noticed any possible similarities of the amateur operators of ham radios, and the secret police activites of a military dictatorship ? Both use code names, and both used radios to communicate.

^That's the truth. Comparing what you don't like to Nazi Germany is in fact being like Xenophobic Nazi Germany.
Secret and unannounced???
It's kids wearing costumes going around and getting candy! It happens every year, you fuckwit!!
You ever notice how people with retarded, uneducated opinions tend to not know how to spell?
It's g-o-b-l-i-n.
And you last sentence doesn't make sense, the evil "goblen"-like trick or treaters are doing horrible thing to real humans that ghosts and "goblens" don't like? Self-contradiction must quite a potent drug...
Kids dressing up as ghost or goblins and running around begging for sweets =/= secret police barging into people's houses, arresting the inhabitants and sending them off to concentration camps.
Why go so far back as to Nazi Germany during WWII? Why not use today's regime in Bahrain, Syria or Israel? Sure, it might not be on as grand a scale as the killings of the Nazis, but they are arresting and/or killing thousands of innocent civilians for the crime of wanting human rights.
Poor sad fuck/all alone
sits downstairs in his mother's home
does he get up and get a job?
no, he makes connections between a children's holiday and a Holocaust that he's too stupid to understand, because his mind is as fucked as this rhyme scheme.
No, I don't see the similarity. One people die, one people pretend to creep each other out and get sweets.
That is the most retarded godwin I have ever seen.
"both do secret and unannounced horrible things"
What do the kids do wrong?
Nope. I don't see how dressing up as fictional characters and creatures and going door to door and collecting candy is the same as coming to people houses in the middle of the night, taking families sending them to camps for forced labor and worse death are the same thing. Nope I don't make the connection.
"I wonder if this "little fun of Halloween" has a little similarity to how the Nazi German military in WW II had a lot of fun killing millions of innocent civilians for it's few years of existence, until this fun ended for Nazi Germany by the end of the WW II war."
I wonder if this retard's head would asplode if he knew about a little something we in the UK - one of the actual targets of Hitler's Luftwaffe, and worse: V-1s & V-2s - celebrate called 'Guy Fawkes Night', a.k.a. 'Bonfire Night' on 5th November. Which includes the use of explosives: Fireworks .
...but at least it celebrates the FAIL of one Guido Fawkes & co. in his own attempt at blowing up the mother of all modern democracies, the Houses of Parliament. He being a Catholic .
As if that would make any difference to Jessie 'I am not a Protestant, but I use the Q JV' Jerry, though.
...Either you need to be sent east or my Gestapo was involved in more bizarre shenanigans than I thought.
I knew it. They said they didn't go trick or treating but I knew they lied!
GOEBBELS! YOU LYING SKELETOR-BASTARD! YOU WENT TRICK OR TREATING AND YOU DIDN'T TAKE YOUR FUHRER!!!
No possible similarities between imaginary beings and real-life industrial-scale killers, no.
I doubt the Nazi German military had fun killing millions. They saw themselves as doing the godly work of ridding the human race of undesirable elements. It was just a day at the assembly (or rather "destruction") line.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
