boy cot v-day

[Stenners]

The Simpsons sumed it up brilliantly in the Garbage Man episdoe with Love Day

[Clogz]

Why is it that in today's world no one is allowed to be happy?

"We can't have Valentine's Day, what about the single people?"

"We can't have Christmas, it offends other religions!"

"We can't have Thanksgiving, it makes people fat!"

"We can't have April Fools Day, its immature!"

 

Seriously, its a holiday for a reason. Now I'm going to make it a special day for my girlfriend and I, and I will be happy on the 14th, and no one is going to tell me I can't do it because if this or that. Or would you rather be miserable all the time? Maybe that is the case, but not for me.

Every year someone tries to destroy Valentine's Day, but it will never happen...because love conquers all!

[acdcrules04]

^Exactly, let people have their special day. I do not have a 'special someone', but I have my friends and they are just a great as a boyfriend or girlfriend. Why not just be happy with the people who love you?

[xXBittersweetXx]

For me, Valentines day has never been about giving someone a present, or seeing who can buy their significant other the most expensive gift (my idiot friends used to do that all the time, the fools), but it's about showing those people I care about, just how much they mean to me. Even if it's only a simple hug, or kiss, or a flower I've stolen from the schools' gardens, they'll know I've thought of them, and that's what counts.

 

I don't buy into the commercial holdiays (except Christmas, of course!), and so I'm not going to go all out, and spend a hundred dollars on some crappy gift that they probably won't like very much anyway. I'm all about the sentiment of the day. I just want to make people feel lurrrrrved!

[stupidsoul1]

Never really got the point of valentines day, if you go no flower you were a loser if you got one you were a whore.

I guess it has more significance to other people,even if it is just another hallmark moment.

but like someone says such things could be said about every other holiday.

 

i like valentines day though.

dont boycott it, wearing black and behaving all weird like is basically like having your own little hallmark moment in your head but just not so lovey dovey.

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

The whole boycotting thing is quite an infantile and immature approach to valentines day me thinks. Those reasons are kind of silly really lol. Flowers die??? Everything dies sooner or later. We're going to die *shrugs*. Not a valid reason. Chocolate only melts if it's in a hot surrounding, and I shall never give up chocolate for anything in the world <3 It's a way of life xD.

 

I can understand how single people feel, as I am once more a singleton on this one "special" holiday, but unlike others, I don't really care lol. Some of you sound a little spiteful over this, which is kinda worrying lol :S If couples wanna have a special day, that's great for them, and I think it is a really sweet idea. I know what you guys mean about how love should be cherished like 365 and a quarter days of the year, rather than 1 specific day, but c'mon. It's really cute lol. Valentines day isn't really that big here. I don't think people kick up a huge fuss about it as much as in America. Just another day for me And if I don't recieve any chocolates, I'll buy some myself lol.

[Phranka]

pff yes I hated well not hated, just didn't like it cause I never had someone..

now my bf who lives 200 miles away from me is gonna send me something on v-day

hm he doesn't have to for me offcourse. he's jsut crazy lol.

still think it's unfair for people who don't have someone.

[o0SugaxNxSpice0o]

^That's so sweet

 

Well valentines day can be about love for other people / things. Like your parents, or your friends, or your computer Let's take love to a new level! Damn I think I should propose to my bed or something.

[Phranka]

lol I think Christmas etc. is enough for love

I always like christmas cause of the time spending with my fam.

[shingo]

all i have to say is that V-day is soooo lame due to the fact that chocolate that you would normally buy gets priced higher and that if you have a "gf" then they expect their guys to buy them overpriced shit !

 

ohhh and what is up with pink and red (it's way tooo much!)

[Dark Angel]

I'm with you for several reasons.

1st, like most people said, it just makes single people feel even more unloved and alone. This leads to many people committing suicide on days like this one, which makes the day even more depressing.

2nd, why the hell do people couples need yet another day to celebrate themselves together? That have 364 other damn days to share their love.

3rd, and I give credit to my best friend for this one, a couple should always show how much they care about their partner other than just this one out of the whole year. I'm not saying show PDA everywhere they go, but you should always treat them special, even if it's just a simple rose everynow and then.

 

I don't care what my mom thinks. I'm going to wear entirely black on that damned day to show others what I really think of their pathetic lovers day.

You are incredibly selfish. If you don't want to celebrate it, fine. Just treat it as a normal day. Don't go try to ruin it for everyone else. You're being immature and extremely self-centered. Like I said earlier, grow up.

[Hybrid Soldier]

Wow you guys are immature.

[shingo]

Wow you guys are immature.

 

who cares ??? i know i don't lol

[Dark Angel]

Selfish? Ruin it? OK, some bits I can understand, but I'm not going to like run around screaming at the top of my lungs 'fuck you bastards for celebrating!' etc. I'm just going to wear black for how I feel about the holiday and for the ones who committed suicide on it because they had no one. Of course, I do think that the holiday in itself is self-centered. But then again, that's my opinion, and you have yours, which I'll respect, because you're just voicing your reason behind my statement against v-day.

[Hybrid Soldier]

Self centered? And comitting suicide for a stupid reason like that(or any reason) isnt?

[Clogz]

I think everyone needs to breathe. And I also think everyone has to accept, no matter who you are, that this IS a holiday, and it will be celebrated.

And anything you do to try and 'stop' or 'boycott' it is futile and immature. Its only one day, get over it! There are 364 more in a year!

I truly do love your point of view on most things, this definitly included.

Selfish? Yes.

why the hell do people couples need yet another day to celebrate themselves together?

Sounds pretty selfish to me.

 

Ruin it? Yes.

You obviously don't care about other people who are trying to enjoy this holiday, and are trying to ruin it for them by making self-centered posts like that.

[Dark Angel]

Selfish? Yes.

 

Sounds pretty selfish to me.

 

Ruin it? Yes.

yes, I know that bit is selfish. Read more than just the first 3 words and you'll see my explaination right there.

Then, may I ask, why are you in this thread in the first place misery if you don't want to deal with self-centered posts when the thread itself says 'boy cot v-day'? Just to tell off people for their opinions?

And yes, people have been known to commit suicide on that day Hybrid.

[Clogz]

Then' date=' may I ask, why are you in this thread in the first place misery if you don't want to deal with self-centered posts when the thread itself says 'boy cot v-day'? Just to tell off people for their opinions?[/quote']

 

Dark Angel, if you thought you could make a thread like this without people coming in and telling you that you are wrong, that was your fault for not foreseeing it.

And it once again shows that selfishness that Misery pointed out, since you seem to want this whole thread to voice your own opinion. If you are going to say something, be prepared for someone to disagree.

[misery]

Then, may I ask, why are you in this thread in the first place misery if you don't want to deal with self-centered posts when the thread itself says 'boy cot v-day'? Just to tell off people for their opinions?

So, basically what you're saying, and Clogz summed it up very nicely, is that only your opinion matters, and that anyone who doesn't have the same opinion should just not bother posting and shut the hell up? I'm sorry, but that's not how a forum, or any discussion for that matter, work.

[acdcrules04]

^exactly... People, lets all take a Yoga breath here. Valentines Days is not just about 'couples', is it about love. I don't have a 'special' someone, but yesterday I went out and bought Disney Princess Valentines for everyone that I love. Don't stress, just have fun.

[Dark Angel]

First off, I did not create this thread. Someone else did. Please look next time before making assumptions. Thank you.

And secondly, no, I don't want the whole thread to voice the same opinion. What kind of world whould that be? Which leads me to say that everyone has different opinions about everything, including you, me, and misery and everyone else on here. We are allowed to voice our opinions, and I was just voicing mine, no matter if it was selfish or not, as you have also voiced your own statements.

So, basically what you're saying, and Clogz summed it up very nicely, is that only your opinion matters, and that anyone who doesn't have the same opinion should just not bother posting and shut the hell up? I'm sorry, but that's not how a forum, or any discussion for that matter, work.

And sorry misery, I didn't realize how it sounded until you said it. What I meant was that you were telling me off for my opinion about the topic of the thread when I was just expressing my views, which was like telling me to shut up. I wasn't trying to tell you to shut the hell up. I apologize for that misconception and I think I answered the rest with Clogz's post.

 

And finally, yes, I think I will stop debating this now. I'm tired, have law of cosines to deal with and so forth. Thanks to misery and clogz for this debate, I honestly liked it because I like to see other peoples' views on the matter. Later, I'm done.

[Clogz]

Sorry for that, I skipped back to check very quick and I guess I messed that one up.

Anyway, I'm glad we got to resolve with this before it turned into a fight or something. Anyway...lets hear some more opinions.
