Valentine's Day is a steaming pile of cat shit

[sc00ts]

imagine a bald eagle hot wing? think would be like 3 feet long, sick.

[1:(]

Let's bump this shit for the season...

If you were really in love, you wouldn't have to display it through a bunch of cheap gifts on a certain day...

[sc00ts]

you don't. but since most of us probably don't just spontaneously buy our loved ones gifts on a random daily basis, it's not really too tough to hang.

For those that didn't catch SNL last Saturday, you NEED to check out this commercial: mp.danwho.net/index.php?id=snl_teddybearheart

Brilliant.

Romance is dead. This isn't the middle ages where in order to get a gift, you have to slay some dragon or something. This is a capitalist society where buying gifts for your loved ones(or anyone for that matter) takes no effort whatsoever. It's not really a symbol of anything anymore except that you have enough money to buy a gift.

[sc00ts]

it takes no effort to buy a gift, true. but if you actually DO put effort into it, it shows and is appreciated.

There are some weeks where I would prefer a career in dragonslaying compared to what I normally do. Most people actually have to work for their money, and most of those people work jobs that they don't like. Spending money on a gift isn't a sign that romance is dead. Giving your girlfriend/wife a card with $20 in it is a sign of dead romance.

I understand what you're trying to say here...for the sake of the argument, I think you could have worded it better though. Just my two cents.

I've worked for every cent I've got sitting in the bank right now. Yeah, maybe I don't have the greatest job in the world(who does when they're 18 anyway?), but it's a living I guess. When you put the gift thing in context to the 20 bucks, I agree with you. I just don't like the idea that there's so much shit manufactured just for this day...if you want to buy a meaningful gift, there's more to it than just candy hearts and chocolate boxes. The day itself is a good idea, but...well, heart shaped candy isn't really a personal thing. If you can make it a personal thing, definite bonus points to you...it just seems kind of lazy that there's a day to do it.

Well, let's put it into a different context. Let's say there was a national Taco Day. The entire day, all people should eat are tacos in celebration of nothing more than the fact tacos exist in the first place. Even though you spend money on tacos year round, make your own tacos year round, and like everything to do with tacos year round, you'll still make it a point to eat tacos on National Fucking Taco Day...why? Why not! You already like tacos in the first place, and a day to eat tacos is a great excuse to eat more tacos.

I could probably give you a better example, but you have to take into consideration I haven't had lunch yet.

[1:(]

I haven't had lunch either...I'm fucking hungry...

I'll continue this debate with you later...I've already gotten way too worked up over something else today and I need to give my overheating mind time to cool down.

Maybe in the meantime I'll go snag some Taco Bell.

PS: Get on Soulseek if you're not too busy.

MAKE TACO DAY HAPPEN!

I made my own personal taco day happen just now, that's for sure. Or maybe also a quesadilla day...

Ha! That would totally be part of my foundation as a politician should I ever become independantly wealthy and decide to just make a complete mockery of politics in general. "Elect me, and I promise to kill every pesky Bald Eagle in order to feed the homeless!"

Or like on the simpsons when they hire the poacher to save homer from the bear, he has all these dead endangered species in his house, and he says "Hmm, I havent had lunch yet" and fires a shotgun in the air and the bald eagle lands between the peices of bread and he eats it whole.

BURN IT DOWN

[Hell Bent For Karate Mullets]

So can I assume that nobody sent you flowers today?

[1:(]

I got an e-card from a girl who apologized for date raping me, but what the hell would I do with flowers anyway? Throw them out? Yeah, actually...that's probably what I would do after I found them buried on my desk under a bunch of garbage a few months later.

I'm sorry if this is actually true, bro, but that's the funniest thing I've read all year.

[1:(]

Nah, it's not true. It was funny though.

Man.. I hate how everyone's always like "Valentine's is too commercial".

Shut the fuck up. Christmas is too commercial, but no one complains about Christmas because even the ugly people get presents.
