Is it a pagan holiday, pagan-Christian holiday, St. Valentine's day?

Ok it has something to do with St. valentine but wth do I have to partner up for this lest I look like a failure? Is st. Valentine the first dude in history who thought "Hey, I know what women like and can not buy themselves! Chocolate and flowers and a piece of card with my name on it and her name on it! And a vibrating love-egg!"

Srsly, call me a pessimist but love =/= junk.

A holiday to exploit lovers out of their money from the card companies and as an excuse to buy extravagant presents for a loved one?

Its not really a holiday, I suspect it was created by a group of spoiled (or neglected?) women, who felt they deserved a day when their BF is practicly forced to spend their hard earned money on them :P

It's just another holiday, i don't really care for them unless i get a day off or something in return for having it. I especially hate holidays like christmas and valentines because being kind, loving, and giving should be spontanious and free, not to be saved until certain days where after awhile, the novelty of the holiday wears off.

Right now it is about fixing the economy, but traditionally, it is about showing your love for someone, which you should be doing everyday, not just once a year

Hallmark having another day to make a lot of money.

Of course, now other industries have decided they want a cut of the action.

Somehow, a thing of roses and a vase that was listed as 40 bucks, ended costing me 80 with shipping fees. How, I have no idea. I got hosed, Tommy. I got hosed. :(

Nah, commercial holiday nowadays more than anything. A nice little money spinner for Febuary.
