At the risk of sounding like a Marxist. Valentines day is emotional exploitation by Capitalism.

 

Make a day in which people feel that they have to declare their love. If they don't there'll be hell on. "You didn't buy me flowers/chocolate/a present/take me out for a meal" etc. "You didn't even get me a card."

 

So people are caught into "I have to do something" and fork out inflated prices on these things, whilst the Capitalist card makers, restuaranteurs etc are all rubbing their hands raking it in.

 

I'm not exactly the right person to be dispensing romantic advice like, but do people really need a designated day to show how much they love someone?

 

I've always thought that being spontaneous was a part of romance, but how can a designated day in which millions of other people around the world are doing similar things be spontaneous?

 

Its just a cynical Capitalist ploy to use one of the strongest human emotions to get people to part with their money.

 

By all means be romantic, go out for a romantic meal, buy flowers, presents etc and tell someone that you love them, but you don't need a specificly designated day to do that stuff.

 

Say bollocks to Valentines day, and plan to do that stuff on a day of your own choosing instead.

Do you celebrate Xmas?

You have a point Laz, then I've also got the worry of his hippy juice wafting down the phone

Ours is Stereophonics - Dakota just because is was out at the time we got together ;) None of this namby pamby, sickly sweet tripe sung by a fat lipped Yank.

 

If I do 'make' a CD for wor lass this Valentine's Day it'll be the new Arcade Fire album.
