Guest Vitamin X Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 Notice there are about 5 people are actually dicussing the merits of Valentine's day and the good side of it, the rest are comparing video game stories. Just something to point out. I always enjoyed it even when I didn't have a girl. It's a cute little holiday with an interesting backstory. I like my holidays to have a little story to them. What story? Some fuckin' flying midget in a diaper shooting people with arrows?
Rob Anybody Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 What story? Some fuckin' flying midget in a diaper shooting people with arrows? Wikipedia, the font of all knowledge. A 14th century valentine is said to be in the collection of the British Library. It is probable that many of the legends about St. Valentine were invented during this period. Among the legends are ones that assert that: - On the evening before St. Valentine was to be martyred for being a Christian, he passed a love note to his jailer's daughter that read, "From Your Valentine." - During a ban on marriages of Roman soldiers by the Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped arrange marriages.
Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Posted February 16, 2006 The day is fucking retarded, because people should show their love for their significant other every day. There's no need to buy someone flowers and go to dinner just because it's a certain day on the calendar. I'm guilty of doing this. On the other hand, I like to see other people happy on Valentine's Day, and my happiness is what's most important.
