boy cot v-day

[Xblackwidow20X]

I say boy cot v-day! y? cuz its stupid. if you cant celebrate the love you share with someone on any other day then why wait for feb 14th? and what about the single people? wheres there holiday? so until they make a holiday for single people then we should boycot this stupid holiday. I will be wearing black on feb 14th.

 

1st- flowers die...how depressing

2nd- chocolate melts and rots your teeth

 

whos with me?

[Stenners]

I agree it's kind of a stupid date but why make it a day depression?

 

We need more posetive days, Valatines day although spun up by Hallmark and Co is at least a day about love. Why turn a day about love into a day about sadness and depression? Makes no sense to me

[Pheonix791989]

i think that v-day is too comercial. but i think its nice to dedicate a day to love and what not but especailly when its durring school all it does is become this thing where the popular people can point out about how much more "loved" they are and things where its not about love but about how much shit and stuff you get.

[ImTheOneThatFalls]

I agree. Its bullshit.

[Black_Angel]

I don't care for it... but I guess some people like it so I'm not gonna spoil it for them

[djwakka]

We shouldn't celebrate Thanksgiving anymore, because everyone should be thankful everyday instead of just one day? Because what's Thanksgiving to people without families?

 

1st - millions of turkeys die for the prior weeks before thanksgiving

2nd - the average calorie intake on thanksgiving is double the daily recommendation

3rd - its a day based on when the Indians saved the pilgrims from starving, and in return the pilgrims killed them off and started a chain that would eventually take over their land and make their ethnicity extinct

 

Your reasoning can be used for any holiday of the year, not just V-day... And i know you guys celebrate some kind of holiday every year.

[allieking]

i love valentines day, but thats because i'm stupidly in love with the man of my dreams and he asked me to marry him a year ago on valentines day, so its kind of our anniversary.

[Friðbjörn]

I boycot Valentine's Day every year anyway lol so well this year yeah no cards, flowers, no nothing

 

I have two reasons:

It's a foreign thing, I'm not a fan of globalisation that much. I don't think for instance, that my country should absorb every friggin foreign "holiday".

 

And, it's like someone mentioned, too commercial.

[Greyfoxx]

I'm boycotting<sp?> it too.... i'm wearing all black and dressing weird-like... dunno... me and my friends might all do it or just me... Hmm

[ForgottenKid]

It is stupid...its all commercial. Every year i go looking normal and shit (all black lmao) and i still get cards. I just rip them infront of the persons face....its a pointless celerbration.

I agree once again.

[XrockinfreakX]

Well I know I would actually like v-day this year, cause I have a boyfriend and yea. So I hated v-day when I didnt have a date or something, yea its commercialized and all but its just a holiday. Its just like halloween or something. Yea you can get mad at me if you want, its just my opinion.

[ForgottenKid]

XrockinfreakX has a point...i mean i hate it cuz of the theme love. I didnt mind it when i was with some one...didnt really think about it.

[LPGotLinkinPark]

I like Valentiens cause you can buy funny cards with little kid things on them. & you get all your guy friends to buy you chocolate. Haha. No real meaning to it though.

[LPtheory88]

I get into the argument about there being a 'Singles Day' to make up for having a Valentine's Day with my friends all the time. Because I say that all the couples don't need another day to celebrate their 'love'. They already have their anniversary. And all it does is make the single people feel bad [well most of the ones I know]. And then my friends [that actually like valentines day] say that it's not necessarily about celebrating couples but it's about celebrating 'love' altogether. Which is true, but most people don't celebrate it for anything else but their boyfriend or girlfriend, especially at school. There's already enough making out at school.. I don't want to see more.

But then again, I probably only feel this way because I don't have someone to celebrate it with. I usually wear black and boycot v-day but I think this year I'm gunna try to make it as normal as possible for me. I'll pretend like it's just another day..

 

Wow that was alot..

Exactly.

 

All you people who are 'boycotting' Valentines day are just pissed off because you don't have anyone to celebrate it with. Which is understandable, but it doesn't mean you have to try to ruin it for everyone else.

 

Grow up.

[ForgottenKid]

Ouch misery...that hurt. Maybe you are right, but I think boycotting v-day is a great idea. Im not saying that because i happen to not be with someone this year, but because love is so superficial now. No one knows what it really is, and unlike alot of holidays, i find it second to be most commercial, just below christmas.

[Friðbjörn]

Ok, before I say anything else, I must ask. In countries like USA, UK, Canada, and Australia, is this a big deal? Does everyone feel like they have to do something on that day? Is one a social outcast if one does nothing on Valentine's day? Is that true?

[Xblackwidow20X]

well thank you everyone for your opnions. but actually i do have a bf for valentines day. so im not boy cotting it because of that. i am boy cotting because of what LPtheory88 had said. my friends every year are sad cuz they dont have anyone. and my one friend almost commited suicde cuz she felt so down about being alone. it puts people down. i have always had someone on v-day and i still never liked it. my bf now ( who i love) agrees with me. we will not be celebrating it. but i respect everyone who will be. but if some of us choose not to then you shouldnt put us down by telling us to grow up. we have a choice to celebrate what we want and with the way we want. thank you.

People arent social outcasts if they have nothing to do. Most people(like most of my friends) make a big deal of having nothing to do on that day.

People just give out cards and if they're actually in a relationship they'll give each other gifts and stuff. But its not like as big as Christmas, or even Halloween. If you're single its just another day (but some people chose to send n00b cards to the person that they like and sign it with a question mark... fools), but if you're going out with someone then you'll like go out somewhere and indulge each other with gifts etc.

 

Its an American holiday anyway, they're always making up various holidays and then the UK/Au just copy them

[misery]

we will not be celebrating it. but i respect everyone who will be.

That's pretty evident by you making this thread in the first place.

[Friðbjörn]

Ok, thanks black angel and rockinfreak.

 

I think saying people who are boycotting this are just doing it cause they don't have anyone, has truth to it. I mean, none of you guys boycot Christmas cause it's commercialised. Those members on here who don't celebrate it, do not do it cause it's commercialised, they do it cause they're not Christian.

 

BUT, there are people here who are against this because of commercialisation. I respect that, seeing as I myself do because of that. And I also do because it's just something I really don't give a shit about lol

So, it's not something I'm essentially against, but I think people have made way to big a deal out of this day. And have taken the meaning out of it. Not that I really give a rat's ass, but isn't this about love? Or at least should be. Not about how many gifts or cards you get, and certainly not about asking someone to be your Valentine, just so you're not alone on that day.

I mean come on, having someone for the rest of the year for something real, is worth a lot more than just getting a card from some person on this one day just for the heck of it.

I think it was said somewhere that all American holidays where made to get rich.

[Xblackwidow20X]

i agree. v-day is a card makers holiday. and everyother holiday. i hardly celebrate any other ones either. to many big companys out to make alot of money out of the lil guy. that sucks.
