People need to calm down

I feel like every year people are getting more offended about everything.

Well, let me tell you, I despise Halloween costumes. I live in LA. That makes Halloween "Dress-up-like-a-you-know-what Day." I'm not into it.

But this is taking things too far.

WHAT? You can't dress like a nun? An old lady? A mental patient?



Come on. Not everything causes deep, debilitating stigmatization. Let people have a little fun.

People cannot take themselves so seriously. If they do, this is what will happen:


Kid: Mom, I want to be a doctor for Halloween.

Mom: No honey, that's stigmatizing doctors.

Kid: Well then, I want to be a chicken for Halloween.

Mom: No honey, that's stigmatizing chickens.

Kid: Princess?

Mom: No honey. Why don't you just stay home and pick up carpet lint this Halloween?


No thank you.
