Fuck you Valentine's day. Fuck you. I hate you and you need to go away and die in a slow painful method that involves golf clubs, sulfuric acid, razor blades, needles, an angry midget, and fire.
Every year Valentine's day comes around, and every year it pisses me off more and more, whether I'm with someone or not.
The holiday in and of itself is complete bullshit. It's either the pressure of doing something extra-special and spending an assload of money so that hopefully she'll be satisfied or the couples around me rubbing in my face how disgustingly in love they are and acting like I'm just bitter because I'm alone.
Fuck you, you pretentious piece of shit, that's not why I'm bitter. I'm bitter because couples that are in a relationship, even clearly unhealthy ones, sit there and look at me like something is wrong with me because I don't have a date for V-day. I'm bitter because even when I do have a date for V-day, I'm practically forced to buy into this corporate holiday that has absolutely NO FUCKING TRADITIONAL MEANING besides letting some companies cash in on it.
Birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmas. Those are occasions when the pressure to do something special for the significant other is valid. Not fucking Valentine's day. There is no actual meaning behind the holiday other than women using it to pressure their significant others into purchasing jewelry, flowers, expensive meals, and other things that should be a surprise treat rather than an expected tradition that has no semblance of value.
The whole holiday is just a sham full of nonsensical crap that capitalism shoves down our throats so that they can make another dollar with a manufactured holiday. I swear that people buy into this so much that if some religious context could be placed behind it, V-day would be more commercialized than Christmas is to the retarded masses.
TL;DR: Fuck you, read the post.

Glad I'm not alone in my line of thinking here.
(there is meaning behind it actually. Christians started it.)

and the fact that you mentioned that its all about women pressuring their significant other into buying them stuff is slightly sexist. sorry.
and i never recall rubbing anything in your face.
ok i'm done.
1) Celebrating love is perfectly fine. Show your significant other affection until you're both puking rainbows and farting glitter and sick from all the chocolate you've each shoved down the other's throat for all I care. It is society's pressure that comes with Valentine's day that I have a problem with.
2) I am fully aware that bitching about it won't make the "holiday" go away, but no one is forcing you to read this, now are they?
3) If you're implying that there is religious context behind Valentine's day, point me at the church that holds a service about it just as they generally do regarding the other religious holidays such as Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, and so forth so that I can see how this freakish farce relates in any way to what I know of Christian beliefs.
4) It may sound sexist to specifically mention women the way I did, however, I've never heard a guy say "THAT BITCH DIDN'T GET ME ANYTHING FOR VALENTINES DAY WHAT A CUNT." At least, not a straight one, at any rate. Have you?
5) I never claimed you specifically did. Also, as far as you and Pyro go, I'll go ahead and say that you don't. The part of my rant mentioning couples had nothing to do with you.
