OK I can see this thread deteriorating away. I think we should all thake no notice of Apples, he is a troll and only wants attention. Lets continue this thread without any more references to what he said. He's obviously been booted out for something anyway.

. . .I'm still excited about it. . .even if people aren't feeling so great about it.
I don't really care if companies are cashing in on it; it's what companies do. They survived because they were opportunistic. To not try on a day that plays on peoples emotions, would make them a bad company. And if you had the power to cash in one something like this, wouldn't you? I know I would. Cash can help me give a smile to others faces. As fake as I might sound right after this word; I would donate most of the money I made to shelters. I'm quite the animal admirer. I dislike that so many have/had bad lives, to to help just a little would be a fantastic Valentines Day for me. Which is why I'm volunteering that day at a shelter. :3 |
Personally, I never really took notice of Valentine's Day. I've only used it to show my friends how much I care for them ^_^ I guess because of that, I've never taken it seriously haha but it might also be because it is highly overrated. Most of the holidays in America are overrated (if you think about it).
|
i think its stupid. as others have said you dont need a special day to tell someone you love them and give them stuff. its just a stupid holiday invented as a money maker for the card/chocolate/stuffed animal companies.
|
I don't really care about it. :/ It just seems like a normal day to me, but it might have some importance in my life once I'm older.
|
I wish my amazingly cute English teacher was around for Valentine's Day. I would get him a card and then he would love me forever.
|
I hate Valentines day. I just don't see a point to it.

Ew Valentines Day, the most commercial holiday, apart from Christmas.
I'm not anywhere near a romantic, and it is the appendix of holidays. It probably served a purpose before, but it's been so long since that time and we don't know the point of it anymore. Apples2, grow up. Just because we don't subscribe to your particular beliefs doesn't mean that we are pseudo intellectuals. If you actually had two brain cells to rub together, you would notice that. |

I know, Valentines Day is just a way for companies to make all that money. If you don't buy something for the person you love then it implies you don't care.
Oh hey, Christmas is just as guilty. That said, Valentines Day is pretty rad. Even when I was single and stuff, it was cool because there was always candy involved. Even if I was alone, I could still eat myself into a sugar induced coma. |
I'm not doing anything unless my friend wants to go hang out or something
|
Im currently not single but I still think its over rated and just another thing to spend money on :o
|
I am going to a Valentines disco today. Hopefully they will play songs from Glee.
|
I don't see going all out for valentines day. If you truly love someone, you should show them you love them everyday.
I got my boyfriend something small as our 4 year anniversary is like a week after |

Sefondly Srcondly Secondgy Secondly, spelling is not so important. Spelling, grammar and punctuation exsist merely so that the reader can understand what the writer has written. I'm pretty sure we could all work out that thake in that context meant take. There is no need to be a grammar nazi. Furthermore, you have this strange belief that more academically minded people are somehow much better at spelling than other people. I study Physics, a subject that dosn't demand you pell every word perfect. After all, Einstein was dyslexic... Thirdly, you say that everything said by Apples was true. He was saying that anyone who stated that Valentine's is over commercialised was just being pretentious. Its not being pretentious, its common sense. Valentin'es is over-commercialised. Christmas is over-commercialised. He was calling people who shared this belief "pseudo-intellectuals" when clearly they were just showing basic logic. Fourthly, not everyone dislike Valentine's Day. Jonlene, JadedIguana, Ayselipera and I are just afew of the many memebers who have stated they like the occasion. Therefore, your point is just completely invalid. Fithly, I was refering to his language when I stated he was being booted out, not his opinions. I've already stated why different opinions are important. Finally, I am quite cynical. I like Valentine's Day as a concept. Not what it has become for the majority. I am cynical about many things. I am cynical about global warming. I am cynical about the Labour governement. I am cynical about a Conservative governement. I am cynical about the new series of Scrubs. I am cynical about Pokemon's 5th Gen being up-to-scratch. I am a cynic. Don't doubt who I am. |
amazingly someone asked me if i wanted to be their valentine.. i felt adored :o. heh heh x3.

Valentine's Day
-noun The holiday Hallmark made up to make single people feel bad about themselves. I hate Valentine's Day. I'm always single XD Tomorrow we have a dance. And I'm probably hanging out with my friends. |
At my school we're supposed to have a dace but it's snowed out. I'll be going to the movies with my friends Valentine's day though. I don't mind being single :)
|
f all those boppas. they just trouble
|
No plans for me. No date. I probably COULD get a date if a girl hadn't spilled my biggest secret to the girl I like, if the girl hadn't burst into tears when I told her no to a date that led to all the girls in the school hating me.
|
I think it's a fun holiday. As long as it's not taken to seriously and is not the only day that one's expresses their love. I think doing something original is better then buying something cliche. Making something homemade like a painting or something. But, everyone has a right to express their love in a different way. It's kinda annoying to see it so commercialized but all holidays are like that. All the pessimism is this thread is overwhelming. xD
I am single. sigh Well, maybe next year. I'm not going to just date someone to have a Valentines day to share with someone. xD Good things come to those who wait. |
I dislike Valentine's day. I've had a boyfriend for Valentine's day every year since I've been 16, but seriously... why does one day of the year have to be more important than any other day to let someone know you love them?
I don't mind doing something special for valentine's day but I also remember when I used to be single every year back in the day and all I thought was "oh joy.. here comes the holiday created to make single people feel like poop because they don't have someone to spend the day with." Valentine's day is overrated.. The only thing that depresses me about it this year, though, is that my boyfriend and I are neck high in debt and utterly broke so we're not going to be able to do anything special.. Just the usual sitting around the house with no cable.. stealing wireless internet from someone else in our apartment complex.. with no food, a broken, mold infested dishwasher, and two stinky, annoying dogs constantly in our face about something... *sigh* I've gotten way off topic. |
Kinda ironic for so much hate on a holiday about love... and to those that say the if-you-really-love-someone-you-would-show-them-everyday thing, you might as well forget mothers/fathers day, birthdays, anniversaries...
