Valentine's Day...anyone care?

Hmm... Valentine's day is coming up. :-X Just wondering if anyone cares about/ celebrates it.
Personally, I think it's a big marketing campaign by companies to get you to buy stuff. No connection with "love" whatsoever. What do you guys think?

 

Yeah, they just want you to buy expensive jewelry for your loved one. I do think it does have a connection with love, however. Someone might get the nerve to ask another out to dinner and a movie, or whatever people do on Valentines Day. Last year I gave my Girlfriend a crap load of stuff Valentine bears, they where holding stuff, candies, crap like that. But she gave me this bad ass looking bear in knight armour with Hershey's kisses, it was the bomb.

 

You should show your other half love every day of the year....
Not just Feb 14th....
So...No....I don't celebrate Valentines Day

 

Time to cooking Chocolates !!!

 

hmm my class asked me this same question today...i told them all about how some people think its a money making scam associated with capitalism, and i told them how other people think that valentines day shouldnt be the only day you celebrate your love for someone, it should be everyday. then i said to them that even though everyday should be a celebration of love, its nice to have a singular day when all kinds of love explodes. usually people who believe that valentines day is a capitalist enterprise that wants to suck cash out of you are the people that agree that money cant buy you love. so if buying expensive presents isnt getting people love on valentines day, logically then we have to assume that the act of buying expensive gifts is only secondary to expressing your love. therefore, we have to settle on the fact that valentines day couldnt possibly be about buying someone expensive gifts, but rather about expressing love to someone you...well...love. im not saying companies dont exploit us on valentines day because they offer us cards and candy to buy at ridiculous prices, but that isnt really illegal. but the most important point is that valentines day, like everyday, is what you make of it...so happy valentines day guys

 

I hope I get a card at work tomorrow (I think its tomorrow). My work place is generally full of young-and-old women. I'm off to the pub on Friday or Saturday (got some free drinks) so hopefully when I get a card I will invite a couple of lasses out even if I don't get a card.

 

Can i have one? i like chocolate.

 

I like Valentines day. Companies may create stuff to get you to buy, but when it comes down to it, its the buyer that throws his or her money away, its just weather or not you can be strong enough to not fall for the schems. My boyfriend and I have been together so long that every year Valentines day becomes more and more like just another day. Its now...Happy singles awareness day. hahahahaha

 

Well I use to as a child but I doesnt matter to me anymore since I dont hand out Valentine's Day cards But Well I gotta find a love first!

 

I gave a chocolate bar to my girlfriend

 

wait.....i though on Valentine's Day the girl should give guy chocolate...or is that only apply to japan?

anyway, my friend's brithday on valentine's day...too bad he is not a she.

 

I'm not sure about the "rules", I don't really celebrate it anyway. I just gave it to her since she was in need of sugar
