There are too many holidays and this one we can do without. One doesn't need a holiday to show how much you love someone.

^ "One doesn't need a holiday to show how much you love someone."

Yes, so very true. (I still really like this Holiday-- it's most of the other major ones I could live without ) Romance seems to have been deleted from our culture (if it was ever here indeed at all ) Valentine's Day, well, gives many the chance to express something they may not other days. I try to give to my love as if everyday was "Valentine's Day"-- not the superficial: gifts, chocolate, but love, care, and respect. Perhaps we should have another holiday just for that. :eek::lol:

Hey, I didn't even know Valentine's day was a holiday! Tells you how much I like the holiday (which is not very much at all).

It's just another overcommercialised thing.
20 years ago it was a time when people sent anonymous cards and gifts to secret loves, now it's a time when men are supposed to flatter their wifes and girlfriends with expensive gifts to show that they do indeed love them.

It's therefore effectively degraded those wifes and girlfriends into paid prostitutes by putting a monetary value on love itself.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

I agree with this to an extent, but do not blame such prostitution on Valentine's Day as this happens 365-days a year in many Western marriages. A box of chocolates or a boquet hardly makes a difference when many women (in the States, for example) willingly submit themselves to a man who they have no love for except he makes "a great living!!". :evil: That is prostitution. Wenches. But, then again, look at the wonderful men available...

a box of candy no longer does it it seems... These days it must be a weekend in Paris at the very least, probably with a diamond ring to go with it.
If a man doesn't spend that much on his woman come Valentine's day she thinks he doesn't love her enough...
