well the day is approaching, and i must say, i really hate it when people say to me(because of my name) "hey dude, happy valentine's day!". i don't like this "holiday"(it's not even a holiday) it's just some greedy foreign investor's idea to get some more profit around mid-february.
Here, 14th february is all about stores with "get ready for valentine's day" written in pink, with an occasional bunny(pink of course) or something to decorate it(you guessed it, something pink). it's nothing about love, it's about "buy, buy, buy".
the basic concept of having a love celebration definetely appeals to me, but not some businessman's whim.

The question is for countries that simply got this celebration like we did, some rich asshole patented it, and started to brainwash every kid in the country just to have the first cash-in. in the u.s. or britain people are obviously with it, since it's part of their culture and stuff.

i vote "against".

Its a nice occasion for special people, over here you dont even have to have a girlfriend to give some a gift. The reason why its so commercialized, is because of the occasion. It is a time that revenue can be made because of the huge demand for gifts. Or it can go the other way where companies shove valentines commercials in you face but I really dont get that so its not a problem for me.

I mean, if you owned a flower shop or a gift shop and Valentines day was around the corner wouldnt you try to push your sales past other competitors? I think anyone would...

I guess its relative to where you are....I guess some places really overrate the occasion but I think its harmless and in some respects good IMO.

But if you did have a boyfriend and he didn't get you a present because he "doesn't believe in valentines day", you'd hate him.

Don't deny it.



Yea, I know some girls who don't care for this day but when they realise the didn't get a present they pissed off, but in HumanError case I am not sure that she would be touch by that, because all hates she presented



Oh hey! i didnt notice your posts. Nah, im not saying i dont live Valentines day just because i wanted to show off or anything. And, well, my ex knows, i didnt need any present that day, he didnt offer me anything, i didnt offer him anything, he didnt need me to offer him anything anyway. And it was all right. It was a day like the others.

Actually i begin to believe all states/governments around the planet agree on exaggerating for this day.A great source for economy.I read that england decided to give permission people who wanna buy viagra without prescription just for valentine's day.

Well one thing we must understand is that maybe is not the day itself , because it is a nice day to celebrate love and friendship and all of that , the problem is that companies have make it what it is just like Chritsmas , but I really think that it shouldn't be ignore the history behind it which dates back into uhmm third century ? in rome well somewhere around there but it has a history behind it , so like I said is not the day itself that is bad and all of that it just what companies have make out of it . To me it's a beautiful day and is one more day that I'm thankful for because is one more day I can tell my love how much I care and love him .

Edit:@Vrana : The first interpretation has this celebration originating as a pagan tradition in the third century. During this time hordes of hungry wolves roamed outside of Rome where shepherds kept their flocks. The God Lupercus, was said to watch over the shepherds and their flocks and keep them from the wolves. Every February the Romans celebrated a feast called Lupercalia to honor Lupercus so that no harm would come to the shepherds and their flocks. Also during Lupercalia, but in honor of the goddess Juno Februata, the names of young women were put into a box and names were drawn by lot. The boys and girls who were matched would be considered partners for the year, which began in March. This celebration continued long after wolves were a problem to Rome.

I voted against, because I think it's incredibly stupid to have one day to remember the person I love or give her a present or do something special with her, when I love her every day, and can call her, or go to drink something, or dinner, or whatever any day, and give her a present wihout a reason at all. I find it incredibly stupid.

Here in Colombia there a date like St. valentine, on september, called "Day of love and friendship" so it's pretty much the same, the teddy bears, roses, and card sales go up to heaven, everything is pink and red and filled with hearts and shit... Pure bussines, nothign more
