Your opinion on valentines day

What do you all think about Valentines day???

I'm gunna be honest, truth betold, I think it's a shit holiday, there are pluses to it, but here are the downsides...
1) It depresses the hell out of any single person
2) It depresses the hell out of any recently broken up people even more
2) It depresses the hell out of me to see all these depressed single people
3) Chocolate prices are expensive(Which is why today is an awesome day cuz everything goes on sale)
4) It's overhyped and it's the 'only day you need to show love or else it doesn't matter at all' and all this other bullshit
5) It's one of the reasons why some people are depressed
6) I'm willing to bet that statistically there are more suicides in the week before and after V-day then ANY other span of 2 weeks
7) It's a potential strike at someone's self esteem
8) It shows the materialistic side of people rather then the sentimental side (Even though the point of the holiday is to show your sentimental side for people you care for... so really, the holiday has lost it's point)

Here are the pluses:
1) Girls are generally happy, they get stuff from their friends, boyfriends, potential boyfriends, etc. etc.(While for a guy, you'd never get another guy a V-day present, or else you'd be pegged gay or bi for life, and if you get something from a girl you aren't dating, instant suspicion, no suspicion for a girl to a girl or when a girl gets a gift from a guy)
2) It can cheer you up and remind you that you aren't alone in the world

and truth betold, I can't think of any other pluses...

i agree with both of you on that
my date left me to work a puzzle with my lil sis
which is so dumb cuz he is like 5 years older than my sis
god i hate that

GA, you nailed it!

I for one had a bloody awesome Valentine's Day and VD+1 with my other half, so screw you guys.

But seriously, lighten the fuck up. You're just kids for fucks sake. Who cares if you're in a relationship? In the long run, it'll never last and all kids/teenagers seem to want these days is drama (though that can be said for a lot of adults too). Just have fun with your friends if you're so "alone", or guess what you can do? IGNORE IT!

I'm sick and tired of this emo shit. Go outside and stop being so moody. Bloody kids...

My sentiments ex-fucking-actly. What happened to kids just going outside and building a camp?, or throwing conkers at things?....now all they want to do is stay indoors and write TERRIBLE poems about the things that they pretend to understand, but really dont. PICK UP A FOOTBALL AND HIT A FIELD FOR GOD SAKES.

This emo craze has got to be one of the worst things to ever happen to humanity. God forbid we ever need that generation to protect us, you think the Nazis weren't defeated by skinny jeans and skull motif jackets. All kids should be like the lad in the Hovis advert..end of.
