What a bizarre thing to say.

I dont like Cheese that much. Should I also "fuck off out of Holland?"

BSH
It's quite simple...I knew there'd be some bullshit from Marco about it being 'racist'...I got there first and prevented his bullshit...but actually, yes, if there are things you don't like and want to change, fuck off, it's not YOUR country...live and let live, when in Rome...heel simpel toch?

oddly enough when the "love it or leave it" and "if you dont like it leave" attitude was greatly frowned upon during its height here in america. everyone has the right to their own opinion. but i do also agree with roker if your a guest in any country its prob best to at least tolerate their traditions.

In my neck of the woods in the UK, or fuck off out of here if you can't handle the heat, my cousins are priveleged to do this in the streets in November. It's their right each year. It's also insanely dangerous and pusillanimous types need not attend!

LOL, none of that down here in the South West.
Believe me, it's a very fucked up night. The barrels will come down on you at anytime. Adrenaline is sky high avoiding but drawn to it.

It is extremely dangerous to hang out in the streets that night, but they all do. Go figure?

fire scares me now, so i'd def watch from afar. i got hit in the head with a stray rocket once. not a bottle rocket either one of those big £15/ $25 each ones. luckily wasn't burned.

The tar barrel event near me is stupidly dangerous stuff. One year I saw an old ladys hair catch on fire and go up in smoke, probably not helped with all the hair spray she had on. Some can get pinned in a corner with burning hot tar strewn everywhere but some absolute idiot threw an aerosol can into a flaming barrel once and the whole thing exploded over everyone. It was all over the news and the person has still not been caught.

It's tradition and like my cousins, only people who come from that town are allowed to do it. Believe me, the tar barrel guys will run directly into the crowd so you need to keep alert but I can't honestly believe this event happens still or is allowed.
