What is the point of valentines day?

Not only does it suck if you don't have anyone to share it with, but even if you have someone, they usually F it up. Who invented this "holiday" anyways? Its a cheesy day that usually makes people end up feeling upset because they have no one or mad at they're boyfriends for screwing it up. I was in smiths yesterday and the line of men buying wilting flowers at the last minute was incredible. Shouldn't we be showing our love EVERY day, not just Feb. 14th with overpriced stale chocolate and wilting flowers?

What is the point of valentines day?
Valentines Day is one of those manufactured holidays that Hallmark and every jewelry store and florist on the face of the earth take full advantage of, by making it seem like unless you get your "sweetheart" something on that day, you really don't care. It's a total guilt trip, right up there with Boss's Day and Secretary's Day and Kwanzaa.





P.S. I've only gotten one box of chocolates from a guy I was dating, and I swear the stuff had been left over from LAST valentines day.


I no longer go with that guy, and in fact, I no longer go with ANYONE. I'm better off solo, and I know what kinda chocolates I like.

Reply:your right; its just ****** up because like any holidays it just serves to remind people how lonely they are like a slap to the face or if your with somebody your anxious for that person to remember that date; to get you a present; have time 4 u and blah, blah and sometimes they screw the day up and you fight with each other over something stupied like today and end up alone again..so **** it!
Reply:To meet your lovers or patch up with the one u left.
Reply:Valentines day is celebrated in remembrance for St Valentine, a martyr. The modern holiday is both a mix of Christian and ancient roman traditions. The Catholic Church still recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of which were martyrs.
