yes SP, it is - but none of your examples are harmful.
i doubt many would even care, let alone fight the adoption of a burrito or a dance etc, they are nice things, positive things...
but the things people are against are the harmful ones ... the ones we consider against our ways - and children marrying pensioners - because of some superstition, goes against our society... we consider it wrong.

Isn't the question ridiculous then?
What is the point of linking to this story about something that happened in another country and asking, "Should embrace this"?
What has this got to do with the UK?
Do we recognise such marriages?
Has anyone ever lobbied parliament to legalise such marriages?
Has anyone run a story about the same thing happening in the UK?
If not, then the story has about as much significance as posting a link to La Tomatina and asking, "Should we allow such a waste of food along the streets of High Wycombe.
It's an odd question, as is the question which started this thread.

oh i agree its kind of a daft question - since no-one is trying to get child/pensioner weddings brought here ...
but theres no denying some are trying to bring other weird things over to this country
so i took to be kind of a broad question, and aog had just used this story as a segway to pose the question - about how far we go in adopting the harmful ways of others... and didnt see how food was relevant.

sp, long before America came into being..
The word Halloween was first used in the 16th century and represents a Scottish variant of the fuller All Hallows' Eve ('evening'), that is, the night before All Hallows' Day. Although the phrase All Hallows' is found in Old English (ealra hālgena mæssedæg, mass-day of all saints), All Hallows' Eve is itself not seen until 1556.
would you not say say Indian culture is rather different from British culture, if not then we have a different perception of culture.

sp the question seems plain enough should we embrace others culture, you either do or don't. But it's not just a question of whether you like the countries food, i like most foods, curry aside, but it still doesn't mean i wholly embrace all the cultures on offer. I enjoyed extensive travel and being part of the lifestyle of places i visited, but i didn't think for one minute i was anything but passing through..
no one did trick or treating because when you and i were growing up it didn't exist here. it's here now because of American influence... by and large...
We also celebrated Halloween, ghosts, ghouls and things that go bump in the night, and Bonfire night is nothing to do with Halloween, it's do with the gunpowder plot, and the unhappy end of Guy Fawkes, who always ended up on someone's bonfire..

Sorry, but did my "Daily Scum" response violate any of the Site Rules? I'm sure it didn't.
