it's a marketing scam just like every holiday where you are encouraged to shop plus it gives merchants excuses to make stuff like this and charge a liver [video=youtube;jmS_5p5X7c4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmS_5p5X7c4&feature=share[/video]
Agreed, valentines day is more a marketing ploy to get people to spend more money. It's interesting though that even though many of you admit that it's a gimmick and you should treat the other half well all year round, when your in a relationship you still celebrate it. Interesting that...
This person hit the nail on the head! commercial and yes people get sucked into it because you cannot avoid it
a good friend of mine feels the sameway! if your in a relationship....everyday should be valentines day.... and not just only on 2/14
apparently theres a white day as well; where the girls give the guys chocolates??!?!!? I heard all this from a korean friend of mine...>.<
all the holiday is a Scam to make you spend money.. (white Valentines is a day that is marked in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China on March 14) is typically observed by girls and women presenting chocolate gifts (either store-bought or handmade), usually to boys or men, as an expression of love, courtesy, or social obligation)
The concept of "Valentine" or similar dates or walk down "Lover's Lane" are "excuse" for one to express one's love for someone who is not aware of being loved, or when one find it hard to say "I love you" explicitly! But once love is mutually understood then Valentines are commercial shears to fleece money off a loving couple when the money could be spent wisely for the mutual love.
The rose is red, the violet's blue, The honey's sweet, and so are you. Thou art my love and I am thine; I drew thee to my Valentine: The lot was cast and then I drew, And Fortune said it shou'd be you
