Complaining About V-Day

**O'nus** · 01-25-2009 02:29 AM

Okay whining people, here are somethings to consider:

- Hallmark did not invent the holiday
- How often do people even buy from hallmark?
- If any company is making money from a holiday, then shouldn't you be mad at the people?

V-Day was originally the ancient day of purification. The very word Febuary is from febris, or something, to mean purification where people would do weird ritualistic purification rights and then have a mass orgy. Originally, though, it was on the 15th, not 14th.

Then some wiseass "Saint" left a letter for his love in his jail cell before he was executed with a rose saying, "For my love, your valentine."

If anyone invented the holiday, it was some old horny bastard and the Catholic church trying to steal another pagan holiday to glorify itself.

Then we have the mass of people buying things for gifts to give to others.

It's simple; if you don't think you should celebrate by buying things; then don't!
"Ohhhh but we're pressured to" by who? Are you with a materialistic bastard who needs you buy them some smelly ass roses that they'll ignore 5 minutes after receiving? How about some chocolates? Woo-hoo.

Oh my crap you guys, don't go buying things for people you like or your friends or your family. Because you know love is exlusively romantic or some shit.

Why do people whine about holidays? People still bitch about Xmas to. Why? It's called an excuse to celebrate. There's no problem with that.

Perhaps we should follow the skeptics line of logic and ban all holidays that involve any sort of money. Too bad you need money to do most things so, holidays are going to be scarce now, arn't they?

For you bastards who bitch about every goddam holiday, I hope you celebrate by bathing in w... oh wait, no, gotta pay money to "the man" ohhhh nooooo.. You best be off celebrating each holiday by sitting in your basement staring at spiders having sex while picking your ass.

Holy crap.

What do you think?

Bravo.
Also, wasn't Christmas also a pagan holiday before it was turned into the commercialized crap that it is now?

So are Halloween and Easter.

Yeah and the reef, and the yule log. If it were really christian we'd be burning crosses on the lawns of local black residents.

I agree with TAA though. We should have holidays that are specifically designed to serve a certain purpose, i.e. actually be fun. People seem to be oblivious to the fact that we have these traditional holidays from way back when people didn't know jack shit about human nature or anything else and when society was generally fucked up with slavery and racism and all sorts of crap. So naturally they came up with mostly pointless and stupid holidays that make no sense whatsoever.

So instead we should just create new holidays that are more appropriate for modern times. It would also be a good idea to have yearly changing holidays with crazy ideas where people get to submit ideas and then vote the best ones every year.

V-day's still more than 2 weeks away. Plenty of time to get a date, I'm not stressing

I don't get why everyone whines about holdiays or people complaining about them. Okay, there is holdiay music playing, or I get a gift. What a pain! Just live your life and go through it, it's not like you can just change it because it's bothering you.

You see a date as a necessary accessory? There are two sad words to that statement.

V-Day is a non issue. V-Day... "V" for Vendetta Day*... I need to read that series.

*Screw November 5th. Also, "Remember, remember, the fifth of June" has no results on Google.
