Yeah, We Keep Offing You Because We Don't Need Nor Want Friends. You Think We Need Friends? Why? Tell Me Why We Need Friends! I See Absolutetly NO Reason For Us To Have Friends.

Tell me why you don't need friends. And btw, if you see no reason for having friends, why are you still talking about it with.. *gasp*.. your online friends? Isn't that a little too friendly? If you don't want friends, shouldn't you just be silent? Really.. you're convincing no-one.

I Can Live Without Friends, Can't I? I Can Be Happy Without Friends, Can't I? I Can Have A Fulfilling Life Without Friends, Can't I? And Maybe You Should Read Some Of My Previous Posts On Why I Have Online Friends. I Refuse To Explain It Anymore.

I Can Live Without Friends, Can't I? I Can Be Happy Without Friends, Can't I? I Can Have A Fulfilling Life Without Friends, Can't I?

You're a waste of time. As you should know.

I could certainly live without friends as you describe them as well. But you should get the notion that friends are parasites and nothing more out of your head. The same support that you give to them will be reciprocated when you need it, if it is a true friendship.

Yeah, but Ritlina believes that love is an illusion. So good luck with that line of thought.

Yes, I Suppose I Am Wasting Your Time. You Really Shouldn't Try To Change Me. It Won't Work.

I'm of the opinion that Valentine's Day is no good because:

Half of society is miserable and bitter because they have no one to spend the day with, and the other half is miserable and bitter because they're out of pocket. The only winners are Hallmark.

Ahh Yes, I Suppose There Are "True" Friends. But It Is So Hard To Descerne Between The Two. Take My Chances? Sure, And Get A 95 Percent Chance That My Life Will Get Utterly Fucked Up. I Don't Exactly Like Those Odds.

75.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

Even if my life gets "fucked up" by my real-life friends, that's my choice, and I'll dig myself out of my own holes. Thanks for standing up for yourself, Ritlina, that's pretty cool. If I was your age and had all these people say these things to me, I'd probably be crying. But maybe because I'm just emotional.

This Post:Then why do you keep talking about them? Why do you think love is illusion? Because that makes you feel better for not having any to give. Almost Made Me Get Emotional, Starps. But Then I Simply Reminded Myself: Love Doesn't Exist, So How Can I Give Love?

This Post: Almost Made Me Get Emotional, Starps. But Then I Simply Reminded Myself: Love Doesn't Exist, So How Can I Give Love?

You don't have to if you don't want to. Some people just won't ever see love. Once I "argued" with my friend over whether love or music was more important in a person's life. That was rather interesting.

This Post: Almost Made Me Get Emotional, Starps. But Then I Simply Reminded Myself: Love Doesn't Exist, So How Can I Give Love?

How can you be so sure love doesn't exist? You haven't experienced it yourself, and you've seen it fail in the relationships of other people? That's hardly conclusive of anything, let alone whether love exists for people you've never met. Plus, the word of many other people doesn't agree with you.

I'd only flame someone if they really pissed me off. And you haven't. Even though you probably do hate me, but oh well. What exactly am I being condemned for, besides holding on to a belief of love? Oh yeah, the whole loner thing. Eh. I think I'll stop posting on this thread, unless something new comes up ^^ I don't want to antagonize you further.

Dont go boycotting NS....youre a cool person, so stay. Doesnt matter who wins this debate anyway. If you feel like you dont need friends, then thats your business. I do however think that you havent yet given love a fair shot. My hope is that one day you will....that everyone will. But thats beside the point.

So help me find another interesting thread to resurrect. Polar bears and child haters just arent doing it for me.

I do, most people suck, but I have a few great friends, some in real life, some on teh internet. Supposedly we aren't your friends, if that's the case, we probably don't want to hear you complain about how the world has shunned you as you spiral into emo-ness...

*spiraling....spiraling...spiraling*

It'd be easier to shun you if you kept quiet.

Its a day made up by the card and sweets companys to get you to buy more. (just like Mam and Da's day.)

I Never Said Life Sucks. In Fact, I Think My Life Right Now Is Great Compared To Other People. I Don't Wear Nail Polish, Hot Pink, Or Eyeliner. I'm Not Looking For Attention. And If You Say I Need Help To Fix My Lonerdom, Your Saying Being A Loner Is A Bad Thing. That Makes You Ignorant. Besides, Emo Kids Hang Out With One Another. I Hang Out With My Books.

Well, for one, emo kids don't necessarily hang out with one another. Yes, the stereotypical emo kid is a rich brat who bitches constantly even though their life isn't that bad.

You, however, are emo in the sense that at whatever young age you are, you already seem to have written off the potential for anyone you meet to be a decent human being. You've given up on making friends, pretty much.

You're an 8th grader. You might think you have SO MUCH life experience; that you've had your fill of the world and you've got stuff figured out, but honestly? High school is totally different. College is totally unique. And I can't exactly say that I know, but I'm assuming that being out in the real world is also totally different.

You say you don't want "REAL LIFE" friends. That you're only willing to truly communicate with your NS friends.

A large part of a "real life" friendship, though, is being able to trust these people, these "friends," enough to share your secrets with them and hear theirs. When these people have faces, it's more personal/more intense. It's a give and take relationship; an exchange of feelings, to "share the load" or whatever so life is a little easier for everyone. But you're afraid of having someone betray you. Understandable, I guess, because the betrayal thing is pretty emotionally crippling (I've had it happen, it really... wasn't keen.) However, you've let yourself become jaded. Swearing off friendship or "love" at this point in your life... Seems so irrational. I don't understand your reasoning, and I don't suppose I will. It's a matter of trust, I guess.

But you can't live in fear of trusting forever unless you want to have a severe emotional collapse/mental breakdown in your 20s or so. Perhaps earlier.

Oh, and about the persistent fools who will try to be your friends... Find the ones that try the hardest for the longest amount of time. Don't shove them away, just let them keep trying. And at some point during high school, you might have some highly emotional experience (like getting totally hammered at a German party while you're on a 4-week exchange program) (that was my case, anyway.) You'll come back from said experience with a new appreciation for everything.

Or you won't, and you'll keep being yourself. It's good that you can take solace in your books, though.

Well, If No Ones Going To Start Up An Argument On The Fact That I'm A Fool, Or That I'm Emo, Or That I'm An Asshole, Or Anything Else, I'm Going To Sleep.

Umm... Kata, Did You Say Something About Me Denying Something Then Take It Away From Your Post? In Fact, Did Anyone Do That? Because I Swear I Saw That Someone Was Saying I Was Denying The Fact That... Something... But Now, I Can't Find It... What The Hell....

Yeah, I did, but then I read more of your posts and it became a false point. I misunderstood something and received clarification through further reading.

I apologize if you were offended by my prior comment. I'd repeat it, but in light of what I've recently read, it was stupid. Really stupid.





Valentines day is dumb... Haha, I'm actually responding to the original post. Meh.

Woah, wait a minute, this guy is still in middle school? Geez, nevermind, I'm not suprised he's writing off the rest of the world. Hang tough, High School gets better.

it may not be real to you but maybe it is to the people who choose to spend their time enjoying themselves together and making something special of their love.

personally i've never had anything to look forward to on valentine's day, ever, so now that i do - now that i have a girl i love - i'm gonna do my damnedest to make sure we get to share that love and that she knows just how special to me she is :fluffle:
This is what's wrong with the world. We have to shedule time to show our affections to someone. Try being a little more spontaneous and less conformitory toward society's ridiculous restrictions on love.

No, you aren't going crazy. I've had quite a few of those experiences as well.

Middle school was the suck. EVERYONE I've talked to has said middle school was the most miserable experience of their entire life. High school was better, college is... AAAAH I love college :D

Well, I was pretty antisocial going into high school. As in, when people would come up to talk to me, I'd ignore them or glare or I'd attack them (as in, fingernails scratching and drawing blood) and I somehow couldn't alienate some of them. I mean, I guess everyone's experience is different, but I bet you'll be able to find a group of "similarly minded individuals" or a group of hopeless optimists (idiots) who, as annoying as they may be sometimes, will get through and become your best buddies. :)

I can't guarantee anything, obviously, but generally high school is drasatically better than middle on the whole "having/making friends" thing.

I Mean If The Walls Stay Up For The ENTIRERTY Of High School And College.

As far as I'm concerned, Feb. 14th is just another regular ordinary day that's 4 days before my birthday.

I Mean If The Walls Stay Up For The ENTIRERTY Of High School And College.

Hmm... That depends a lot on your teachers, how much you enjoy the classes you take, and how much watching other people make morons of themselves entertains you (unless they're making out in the halls, that's just kinda gross.)

If some persistent optimist doesn't manage to crack/melt the walls during your high school/college experience, then it really depends on your teachers and professors, I guess.

If you enjoy learning, and you have the opportunity to take more "honors" or "advanced placement" courses and you succeed and get awesome teachers and all that jazz, you'll love high school. I mean, call me a freak, but I greatly enjoyed learning when the people around me were more focused on learning than indulging their more hormonal impulses.

Similar for college... If you like the classes you take, and your teachers aren't utter idiots/jerks, you'll love it.

I'm hoping your walls will deteriorate somewhat during the coming years, because having "real life" friends to chill with and make fun of is pretty sweet, but if that doesn't happen... Find other stuff to do with your time. Get a job, if you can afford the time for it. Find stuff to occupy yourself with and just run with it. I mean, I really don't know that much about you, so my advice might be nonsensical/not applicable, but yeah.

I'm losing my train of thought... Uhh... Does the above make any sense?

Now I Actually HAVE To Go To Sleep. Dad's Bitching At Me To Get Off Computer. See Yall Tomorrow.

Haha! You're '10! :P '09! '09! '09!

If you really love somebody why do you need one specific day to show it?

Agreed.

No real purpose to it, just a way for companys to make more money off people. at the same time making single people feel bad for being single, what a joke holiday.

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that it originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine.

Let's not forget it has been reported that he was skinned alive. Yeah, let's mark this day by sending candy and flowers.

I actually happen to not care one way or another about the holiday, although my husband insists on going out for dinner every year to celebrate. He is the romantic in our relationship. He buys dinner, candy, flowers, ect I just get him sex. I have to admit I get the better end of that arrangment; although he's never complained.

Personally, I Hate Valentines Day. It's A Day For People To Spread The False Concept Of Love Around In A Non-Thought-About Way. I Don't See Why People Like To Spread Around Something Which Simply Isn't Real.
Me too. Valentines Days suck and are from the devil. They should all be banned.

:( it sucks, mainly because I havn't recieved anything since I was about 10 and I doubt that's gonna change this year, so yeah, until I actually get something on Valentines Day I'm gonna carry on hating it:(

*bigg huggs* :fluffle: cheer up!! It could be worse, you could lose a shoe!!

My girlfriend and I celebrate just about anything vaguely significant, but I still feel it's a duty to make v-day special, seeing as in previous relationships she hasn't had one to celebrate.

I know that the one time I was with someone on Valentine's day, It was an awesome day. Now I'm in limbo, so to speak, with the same girl, and this Valentines day is going to be hell. But even just remembering that one year makes it worth it... now if only my birthday wasn't the 13th...

Or We Could Just Be Loners Who Hate/Don't Believe In "Love". Remeber, Emo Kids Believe And Like Love. And Loners Aren't Losers.

Ok, ok. At first I was feeling sympathetic, however, frankly, you are a loser. Not to be rude, but why the hell do you not want friends, and more so, love? Love is one emotion that sustains me, an adherence to the Romantic ideal, and I would contend that no individual can exist happily bereft of emotion.

Ritlina, the concept that love doesn't exist interests me. What do you call it then two people are close enough to know what each other thinks, to say anything to each other and not be embarassed, and to cheer for the other's success as if it was their own. Maybe not all (in fact the vast majority) of marrages are like this, but love does not just cover that. What of the sisters who have stayed together since the hour they were born, living together as one? What of the bond between a father and a son, when they both work together, with one objective and a team that is unstoppable? What of the friendship between two men who go out into the world together and work togther for their entire life, closer than brothers? True such bonds are rare to the extreme, but they do exist. Ergo, love must exist. Do you not agree?

It exists, no doubt. And it's a matter of pure chance and luck.
Striving for it, trying to achieve it, will fail in almost all cases, and causes nothing but hurt.

Maybe. But even so, you should allow it in, no matter how impure it is. You don't need to have any expectations of when it will come, or how it will be, but if you turn your back on it you will never reach it, or even a smaller version, like that between best friends etc. That is almost certainly reachable by everyone, you just need to let it in.

I'd rather live without hope than having it disappointed again and again and again.... it's pointless to pursue love, or even to wait for it.

Ok, So I Primarily Hate Valentines Day Because I Don't Have Anyone To Spend It With. That's Primarily Because My Standards Are WAY Too High. As In "Must Be This Intelligent In My Eyes". No One I've Met (Besides On Here) Has Met The Intelligence Standard. So Unless One Of You Feels Like Flying To Fairfield, California, I Really Don't Have Anyone To Spend Valentines Day With. And Besides, It IS A Conspiricy By Coporations To Make You Spend Money. But Tell Me, If Love Is Real, Why Is It That Married Couples, Who Vow To Love Each Other, Have A Cheating (In One Way Or Another) Rate Of 60%~? Why Is It That With Non-Married Couples, It's 75%~? So I Ask You, Is Love Real?

Yes, Love is real. And yes, it's a corporate Hallmark Holiday. But who gives a damn? Valentine's Day is a day where you can show as much affection as you want towards your significant other without your friends yelling at you for it (for high schoolers like me).

And question: Why do you capitalize the first letter of every single word?

I'd rather live without hope than having it disappointed again and again and again.... it's pointless to pursue love, or even to wait for it.

I never said you had to have hope. Just do not reject and push out love, and it may come to you. But if you do not let it in, you cannot have love, and will later regret what you have done.

That's exactly what it's for. Also, it's apparently the day where girls send me flowers this year (which is different than any other year).

I still think it's shit, though, and a stupid Hallmark holiday. But I get shit on it this year, so it's not quite as bad.

I believe he/she capitalizes every word because it is what we call "annoying as hell".

that is fixable

The real problem is you people have sick and perverted idea of what love is.
As the scripture has said, you declare that which is right to be wrong and that which is wrong to be right.
You think that coercing a girl into sex is love. Yep, the scriptures were talking about you specifically.
And its not just the guys. Its the girls. You all think that love is when you want to do it to someone. Or have them as a trophy. You make me sick.
And you girls with your "if he uses me and hurts me he loves me" attitude need serious psychological evaluations. Better yet, you should be locked up in a mental institution.

I Don't Want Friends Because From The Experiences Of Family, Friends Will Tend To Hurt You More Then Help You. Love? It's The Same Thing As Friendship, Just On A Greater Level. You Have To Help Others Out More And Get Screwed Over Even More.

You have such a pessimistic view of the world. Why judge all relationships as being the same or equal? I have lots of good friends and believe me that they help me far more than harm me.

BTW, when you help someone, it is wise to expect nothing in return. Anything that you get back is a bonus. Quit being so hard on yourself and others and enjoy life. It is after all your choice.

Tis quite depressing when you've no one to share valentines with. I think all the single people should all get together if they want someone to be with. Its good b/c it is a non commitment strategy. However , it is pleasing to think that you are not spending ridiculous sums of trying to impress your lover. Besides, most of us only like the making out part anyway. Well, cheers darlings .

So You Consider The Loneliness Depressing? I Find It Rather Great.

Ok, ok. At first I was feeling sympathetic, however, frankly, you are a loser. Not to be rude, but why the hell do you not want friends, and more so, love? Love is one emotion that sustains me, an adherence to the Romantic ideal, and I would contend that no individual can exist happily bereft of emotion.
Ok, wire the amount you were willing to bet to my bank account...

Emotions are illusions, like most things. And if we gave up illusions and stuck to the clear, concrete reality, the world would be a better place.

Ritlina, I was like you once. Then I began to grow up and realize that as a human being, no matter how much I hated the rest of society and planned to build myself a house on an isolated Himalaya mountain peak and grow my own food in twenty years, I still had a basic need for human companionship. Which is why I turned to the internet, where all the other like-minded souls reside.

There is a very good reason why having friends online is better than in real life. According to a recent study, people judge you this way:

58% on how you look;
35% on what your voice sounds like;
7% on what you say.

On the internet, there is only the seven percent to judge you from... and thus, you can create any impression you want just by typing different things.

Now, I look awful. I'm not particularly short or tall and of medium build; I wear thick and rather ugly glasses due to my affinity for sitting in front of narrow computer screens; my face is pockmarked with a host of problems brought on by hormones, injuries, and overconsumption of jellybeans. I have no fashion sense whatsoever, and my face tends to bear a coldly aloof and arrogant expression, especially when I look directly at someone, in which case the look could turn the day to winter.

As for what my voice sounds like, well, let's not even go into that.

In addition, I never talk to anybody because of my discerning categorization by appearance into twelve or thirteen different types, all of which I despise utterly. As soon as I recognize someone as one of these, I immediately turn around and avoid them. I have yet to meet someone who does not fit one of my categories, either...

Thus, face-to-face relationships involving me will simply not work out. And I haven't even gone into my violent and explosive nature, unfailing egotism, corrosive sarcasm, or sadomasochist tendencies...

So You Consider The Loneliness Depressing? I Find It Rather Great.Actually, I meant I don't consider valentines special in this regard. Although, I suppose, if you let it, it can put more attention to it.

Whether I find loneliness depressing is a different question. I do feel like I'm missing something. However it doesn't bother me at the moment as much as it once did. And you could distinguish being alone, and being lonely. I'm not necessarily lonely when I'm alone, or alone when I'm lonely.

Emotions are illusions, like most things. And if we gave up illusions and stuck to the clear, concrete reality, the world would be a better place.No it wouldn't be better. Because 'better' is an illusionary relation. Nothing is concretely better than anything else.
I'm not entirely sure what you meant to say by 'emotions are illusions', certainly they exist. It what way are they illusionary? Do you not really experience them?

So In Other Words, Alot Of Things In The World Are Illusionary. Interesting.

So In Other Words, Alot Of Things In The World Are Illusionary. Interesting.There's several ways to go about it. It depends on your brand of philosophy. You can justifyable deny almost everything as an illusion. You only have your brain telling you that things exist, after all.
The easiest way to illustrate this is to use 'The Matrix' as an example. We might all just be hooked up to a computer that simulates our world.

There's really no point to it, mind you. Because you'll still have to deal with the world, even if you deny it's real.
To be honest I could go on about it a great deal, but this isn't really the place.

Once apon a time this holiday meant something, but corpations have turned it into the most hallow haliday of all. I HATE YOU CARD AND JEWELERY COMPANIES :mad:. I WILL FIND YOU :sniper:. anyway that is how it is with most things. I am wondering is anything real anymore? love, happieness, friendship? are any of those real? It seems to me there is a hell of a lot of back stabbing going on in our world. Tell me what you thing.

I H8 V-Day. It's stupid. Nobody loves me. V-Day Sux.
Hmm... Maybe Because You Speak In 1337?


If that is 1337 then there is something very, very wrong somewhere out the in the black (anybody who gets that reference gets extra points).

Valentines Day is a bunch of coroporate BS. However, has anyone realized the true meaning of Valentines Day? Hmm. It is a ploy concocted by a bunch of women who thought that by getting their husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends to pay attention to them for ONE DAY would get them to pay them the same amount of attention and love as on that day. Teach 'em a lesson.

That plan fell through didn't it?

Like Winter-een-mas (CAD!), Valentines Day was picked up by a corporation and tagged as it's own.

I celebrate it. Oh yes. But I'm not bitter, no, not at all...I love my boyfriend, but, *sigh*, I'm a poor student...what am I to do? :D

Another fake holiday. Yeah, I know it sounds like sour grapes for not having a woman to spoil on that day since 2003, but I was anti-VDay long before that debacle. Still, I suppose the florists, cardmakers and chocolatiers need to eat, too.

The jewelers can go fuck themselves. Artificially overvaluing shiny shit that comes from the ground as a result of virtually slave labor in poor countries where the baubles are found? I'll pass. The actual worth of diamonds is ridiculously low compared to the way the jeweler cartels inflate it.

I am wondering is anything real anymore? love, happieness, friendship? are any of those real?As with many things, they're as real as your belief in them is strong.

Ok I am 14 and 1/2. I am in 8th grade. The girls in my class have the weirdist rules for dating guys.

I have a small class so if any of the girls want to go out with someone "popular" they have about 3 to those from. So even one of my friends who has liked the same girl since 1st grade does not stand a chance because he won't change himself to fit in. When will they figure out that social levels and looks arn't everything?:headbang:

Good advice.

As for the "tooling" issue, if by that you mean "hazing" or "getting duct-taped to a flagpole", that's a simple answer. They mess with freshmen because they were freshmen once themselves and were mercilessly hazed. In fact, likely they were hazed when the rules against it were lighter or non-existent (as it was for me -- anti-fresh-bashing rules were enforced the year I became a senior, thus depriving me of the revenge that had been visited upon me).

I know that the "I got it, so now it's your turn" excuse is lame at best, and SOME generation has to stop that cycle because persecution for being what one can't help but be (a freshman) is stupid, but I was disappointed. I admit it. Now, as a teacher myself, I'm glad to see anti-hazing rules. Fucking with someone just because you can makes you a bully. Seems to me they'd want to encourage better behavior in their school's heirs. But hey, nobody ever said teenagers cornered the market on logic...even when I was one.

All I can say is, don't let them take your dignity and best of luck. Don't give in to the urge to strike back. They push you down, stand back up, but don't push back -- that's what they want. Or did when I was a kid.

It really weird everytime I think that someone in my class as stopped being a pain they do something so MINDBLOWINGLY dumb that I tell myself that that person is well.....bad. and so I convince myself that I will not fall for those tricks agian. Then what do you know they are being nice again. Then there they go again, doing something dumb. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST MAKE UP THEIR ****ING MINDS!?!?!?:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

valentine's day is a satanic holiday and the only people who take part in it are satanic heathens and sadists.

The whole point of Valentine's Day is to celebrate love and happiness, not to celebrate buying stupid cards for people. Jesus, people, go out and mingle atleast find someone to hang out with. Even using it as an excuse to get shitfaced drunk is good. Don't hate it because you're single and miserable

I'd say it depends on the school and the kids. Simply becoming a freshman won't necessarily change people's perspectives - especially if ninth grade classes are held at the junior high at your school. I'd say that you will probably - but not necessarily - see a change in perspective by the time you reach college and/or the workforce.

(In my case, I had three obstacles towards finding interested girls: I refused to subordinate my own beliefs to those of the group [and for a secular liberal libertarian in conservative, authoritarian, Christian East Texas, this is a problem]; I was probably the best student in my former school [I had a remarkably accelerated curriculum, including Precalculus in ninth grade], and I have an annoying tendency to miss small social cues. In the end, I wound up applying for - and getting accepted to - a public academy for the gifted... and had a girlfriend within three days. :eek:

That said, it looks like I'm going to be celebrating Singles' Awareness Day again this year. :( )

Ahh. Yes tuesday will be a great day to laugh at people out of the blue. Plus if you laugh for a long time they start looking at you weird and that makes it that much better. In 8th grade they have no idea what they are doing. It is smart to laugh at them to make sure they secound guess themselves. That one thing I love about this day. Making fun of people who have no idea what is going on is always fun, but on V day it makes it that more spiecal.:D HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! :fluffle: :mp5:

I agree with practically everything said.

Even though I'm in highschool, I have not "matured", as some people would say. I just made some awesome Valentines for my best friends along with brownies for everyone. I hate how Valentines day has been made into a over comercialized holiday. It really does have a nice origin and at one time the holiday did mean somthing. So I end up making things for everyone. I don't have a valentine (never have). But it doesn't bother me. I know I'm really to young for anything serious so I might as well wait. Middle school is way way to young to really be so bitter about Valentines Day, and talk about how you hate it. You really don't have the experience to really hate it or what it stands for and when you decide you hate it you've set yourself up to really never give it a chance and actually have a good time.

O.K., So It Seems Most Of Us Hate Valentines Day! Some Because They Feel Like Valentines Day Is A Corporate Scam. Some Because They Feel As Though You Don't Need One Day To Celebrate "Love". Others, Like Europa Maxima And I, Hate It Because We Don't Believe In "Love", Or Simply Hate "Love".

Your comment made me think of this quote:

Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more.

:D I love quotes...

Valentines day is too fucking expensive. Plus I have to get up at like 6 (I usually wake up at 7:30) so that I can go and see my gf before school. I just went cliche this year and got her a rose and some chocolates. It'll keep her happy I guess. Until her birthday. Sigh, it never ends.

I hate Valentine's Day. I dislike seeing couples with their tongues down each other's throats in my favourite bars and restaurants (not that it doesn't happen at other times of the year, but it's pretty much guaranteed that day). I also don't like the tack and expense that surrounds it, and the implication that it's alright not to show affection to your boyfriend/girlfriend except on one day.

i'm gonna have to drive an approximate total of 4 hours 29 minutes on v-day :(
2 hours 45 of that is just going up to see her, and thats ok (though staying over would have been easier ;))... but the rest is going to this particular restaurant and then the cinema in nearby town.

looking forward to the day but not all that driving :( :(

Ouch, that's a LOT of driving. I unfortunately have TAFE tomorrow (ie college). Not that it matters - I don't (and wouldn't) have a date anyhow. Hence it's just another day to me.

and its not that bad... we've just talked about it and we're going to skip on the restaurant i wanted to take her to (which is a bit of a shame cos its a stunning place - clicky (http://www.hlj.me.uk/pics/Photo-0044.jpg)) but still go for meal and cinema anyway... cuts the driving time (while i'm there... can't change the 2 1/2 hours to get there) to only about 45 minutes... so thats good :)

It's an Australian thing. Basically it sits between high school and Uni in the framework... Stands for Tertiary And Further Education. The best way to explain it is that it's not quite as demanding as Uni is, but it's more demanding than High School.

My reason for hating Valentines Day is because I have no reason to like it. Never had a boyfriend, never received a valentines day card from anyone other than family or class projects (the ones you do in 3rd grade where you make one for everyone else in the class so no one feels left out... I was the kid that my teach didn't want to leave out).

That is all.

They never did that sort of thing in class. I would have been the correlating kid anyhow - never have been part of the "popular" group and quite frankly couldn't care less - although I did have a lot of trust with my kindergartendifferent to the US definition by the way, that would be 'pre-school' over here) teacher. She'd get me to read in front of the class if I have to duck out. I even have the awards to prove it. :D

I love Valentines day. Most single girls get desperate and drop their standard considerably.

What’s not to like?

Once more, I find it hard to be consolatory. We have a train network, you have a girl, and you moan about driving.... honestly, talk about both having a cake and eating it....:p
can trains take you out to the restaurants you want to go to?
i think not :P

It's an Australian thing. Basically it sits between high school and Uni in the framework... Stands for Tertiary And Further Education. The best way to explain it is that it's not quite as demanding as Uni is, but it's more demanding than High School.
ah i see... well, good luck! :)

And that's supposed to be a good thing how...?

What? I didn't go far enough into debt for Xmas?

Yet another fucking secularized, popularized, xtian, consumer holiday to spend all my hard earned money on. If I want to spend money on someone, I'll damn well do it when I want to, not when religious/social custom tells me to. Especially not when an alien culture/religion tells me to.

Next up: Easter.

Hooray! That Stupid Petition Has Been Closed By Katganistan! I Thank Ye Dear Moderator.

I Am In No Way An Attention Whore. Hell, I'd Much Rather NOT Get Attention On This Forum. As I've Seen, Anyone Who Does Is Usually Being Flames/Trolled/Etc. Well, Glad That's Over.

How, pray tell, is valentine's day connected to Christiainity? Christians are only reponsible for 1 over hyped popularized holiday in America, and that say is Xmas. Nobody really gives a damn about Easter, and the blame for Valentine's Day lays at the feet of greeting card manufacturers, right beside mother's day, father's day, and International Bastard's Day.

International Bastard's Day.

So when is that? It's the one I must celebrate!

How, pray tell, is valentine's day connected to Christiainity? Saint Valentine? The guy it's named after?

can trains take you out to the restaurants you want to go to?
i think not :P


Do you have feet?:p

n.b. Sorry for the cyncism likely to occur tinight and tomorrow, serious depression currently occurring, and fuck my arm hurts:(

I hate Valentine's Day too, because I am spending it alone, again. :mad:

I do realise I would view it differently were things otherwise.

Same here, it's just been commercialised to the point of death.

That and the fact that my girlfriend is in Kaliningrad. I am soooo deprived. :(

As Damor points out above: Saint Valentines Day. The greeting card companies just saw a good thing and ran with it.

BTW My parents were not married, therefore I AM a bastard, so International Bastard's Day, is something I could see celebrating.:D

Hell Man I'm Not. I'd Much Rather Had Liked It If That Stupid Petition Had Never Started.

Typing normally would also greatly diminish the attention you get, of course. But we can't have everything we want I suppose.

next year might be better :fluffle:


i was in that situation last year and i had absolutley no clue that this year i'd be spending the day with a total babe (who i happen to think is wonderful too ;))
so you never know whats round the corner
doesn't stop it from hurting a little now, i know, but at least have hope that next year might be different :)

Yes, A 15 Year Old Babe. (Note, I Will Not Stop This, Pure, So Don't Even Try To Stop Me)

i'm gonna have to drive an approximate total of 4 hours 29 minutes on v-day :(
2 hours 45 of that is just going up to see her, and thats ok (though staying over would have been easier ;))... but the rest is going to this particular restaurant and then the cinema in nearby town.

looking forward to the day but not all that driving :( :(

'Least you CAN drive to see her, keep that in mind...

Yes, A 15 Year Old Babe. (Note, I Will Not Stop This, Pure, So Don't Even Try To Stop Me)
meh why would i want to stop you?
she is :fluffle:

if you have any problems with that (which i understand you don't) then they're your problems, not mine. frankly i couldn't care if she was 15 or 40 - i'd love her the same.

They won't know, and people are just annoying and nosy like that, but he's not about to get arrested because busybodies are suspicious, police might want to check it out or something, but with basically no evidence....

A 15 year old dating a 20 year old is not a big deal. If they are on the same maturity level, then excellent. I think the statutory rape thing goes a bit too far.

and only applies if we were to have sex anyway. which we won't. and haven't (we haven't even met yet)
starting to wish this issue would just go away now :rolleyes:

but quite... its relative maturity. i'm immature for my age, she's mature for her age... we meet in the middle and get on like a house on fire :p

and no crime means no crime too.


and Ritlina, don't think i don't see what you're trying to do. i'm happy about v-day, you're cynical and bitter about it, so you're attacking me and the source of my happiness: my relationship with her. its quite sad really.
(and denying that would be folly: its painfully obvious)

(we haven't even met yet)
You Haven't? Oh. I Thought You Were Meeting With Her. If It's Just Online/By The Phone, Then No One Can Get Suspicuous, Since They Don't Even See You Together.

Screw the majority.

Screw the majority.
between us, the vast majority of our friends don't have a problem with it. nor do parents (much)
i'll admit its weird but 'weird' doesn't equal 'bad' or 'wrong'

Hell, its not weird at all love. A 15 year old dating a 10 year old would be weird,if not gross, but once you reach a certain age, the maturity level developes at an increased rate of speed. 15 and 20 are very likely to have a lot of things in common and the emotional stability to handle a serious relationship. I know 40 year olds who seem like 15 year olds and 15 year olds who seem like 40 year olds. It all depends on each individual. You two seem terrific together so whoever thinks its weird, tell them to sod off.

Screw the majority.
Indeed.

In fact, everyone with an opinion I care about has reacted positively and is just happy for the both of us. Including my over-protective parents which must say something.

The bolded bit especially made me smile :)

And I agree with all that you said. If you simply say "20 year old guy with 15 year old girl" some people will instantly go to the preconceived ideas about that. Once you realise that the situation contains unique individuals, you can't make any judgements without knowing the people involved.

youre most welcome...

I have a bit-o-experience on the age dif and the meeting someone online, so I've endured loads of naysayers before. The important thing is that two people who are obviously smitten with one another have chosen to take it to the next level. Hip hip hooray for love!:fluffle:

Screw the majority.
I have. Ever wondered why there's so much poverty in the Multiverse? It's because of the 89% tax rate I levy. :D

(Ok, someone had to do it.)

Thoughts: a wonderful day, but would be a lot better if I knew a certain girl liked me in real life named Ashleigh S.
I'm too nervous to tell her I like her; and afraid what she will say back if she rejects me.
(wish I had a stronger backbone)

I'll probably be forced to think abvout her all Valentines day...sigh... :(

I Have No Problem With It, I'm Just Saying, Watch Out, Cause The Majority Ain't Gonna Like.Why should 'the majority' care? The age difference between them is only five years, for goodness sake, it's not like one of them is a child and the other a grandparent! In my own relationship there's a 10 year age gap. I have a friend who dated a guy 20 years older than him. As has been said, it depends on the individuals involved.

As stated before, I don't like Valentine's Day myself...however, I hope you both have a great day PM & Glitziness :)

We're meeting tomorrow...

I don't really see what point you're making. That some people might think it's weird/be suspicious? We're both aware of that. And?

You could always kncok yourself unconscious.

Personally, I Hate Valentines Day. It's A Day For People To Spread The False Concept Of Love Around In A Non-Thought-About Way. I Don't See Why People Like To Spread Around Something Which Simply Isn't Real.
And now a word from the Valentine's Day Grinch!

Valentine's Day is a great opportunity for dull people to advertise how dull their relationships are.

We all know the saying, "It's the thought that counts," but I feel the LACK of thought counts just as much. Buying ridiculously over-priced roses on Valentine's Day requires zero thought. Giving in to the flood of diamond advertising requires zero thought. Picking out some over-priced piece of red-and-pink crap shows that you were thinking one thing: "Gosh, I haven't a shred of creativity, and I'm so very very lazy, but I still want to participate in a stereotyped mockery of adult affection!"

This kind of stuff shows that you aren't thinking at all. You aren't finding out anything unique or special about your particular partner, and you sure as hell aren't expressing anything unique or special about yourself, you are just filling in a form letter and making empty gestures. You are showing that you think you can buy affection, as long as the gift fits the magical Valentines formula that your television has given you.

I consider Valentine's Day to be supremely ammusing, because the people who take it the most seriously are the people who are the biggest jokes.

I consider Valentine's Day to be supremely ammusing, because the people who take it the most seriously are the people who are the biggest jokes.
You might then enjoy the revitilisation of fertility rites that I've suggested be practiced in lieu of Valentine's Day. We all get drunk, and have safe sex with strangers, for a day and a night, and then return to our normal lives, with a complete absence of rancor or jealousy. Let's put the f*cking back into the day of 'love'.

You could always kncok yourself unconscious.
It is worse: I've been thinking about her since I met her.

I can't stay be asleep all the time: she even gets me there (been dreaming about talking to her and telling her). So even unconscious: she is in my mind.

Now, all the dreams imply: it will all work out if I tell her. But dreams are usually just your subconscious so can I trust me to right?

I don't know if it is really strong crush or love (you never know).

I mean, it was at first sight that I felt something. But I just thought, "eh, she is pretty that is all"

Later those thoughts turned, " okay, she is pretty, smart, cute, hot, sweet, nice, kind"
I mean, maybe it is the crush talking, but I see no faults with her.

Ok, Say I Am Still As I Am Now, Walls Of Diamond(Diamond Is The Hardest Substance On Earth, Using As A Metaphor) Put Up Around Me. How Would College Be? Or High School, Even?

I wish I had walls of diamond.

Thanks :) Just the fact we'll be together is what'll make it great - not the fact it's Valentine's Day.

As for the whole Valentine's Day thing - seeing as I never actually posted in response to the original thread topic... - I don't see it as a huge deal, or take it all that seriously. It's just my excuse to embarrass Huw with OTT soppy gifts :p (just kidding - don't worry Huw... well, don't worry too much :P at least I didn't get those heart shaped balloons... Fiona had to drag me away from that shop....)
Seriously though, it just seemed like a convenient day to meet on my half-term break from school. If either of us felt like we were forced to buy stuff, write cards etc it would be pointless. But we both like expressing our feelings for each other and we'd probably have done a whole lot of that the first time we met up anyway. Huw likes making me feel special (I don't mind it all that much either :P) and this gives him the opportunity to spoil me, and vice versa. It's not as if we only do these type of things, show affection, express love etc on this day - for anyone who reads our posts, they'll know we're far from quiet about how we feel, heh.
And with the whole commercialisation of it, I don't really care tbh. Out of the various things Huw will be getting from me, the one I'm most looking forward to giving and which will mean the most to both of us is the letter I'm writing.

:fluffle: i still read that letter you sent me for christmas sometimes... a letter would definatley mean a lot to me :fluffle:

and i want my balloons! :p

(though, for the record, i agree with that whole post. gets the Huw seal-of-approval ;))

ok, I would like to erase the last comment I made, because I have been thinking about this all day.

First off, not liking V-day because it is a "hallmark card" holiday is not a good cause. Every holiday, birthday, graduation, first communion, baptizim, etc... all have hallmark cards. Would this constitute them as "hallmark card" holidays?

Secondly, yes, I'm not found of Valentines day because the closest thing to a boyfriend I have ever had "dumped" me the day before (today was the one-year anniversary of that event). Needless to say, seeing all my friends being with guys that they have been with for several years makes me upset, if not depressed. However, I blame that on my life and the situations I have been in, not the holiday.

Thirdly, I fully well know that the liking for Valentines day goes way up once a person is in a relationship. Sort of the same concept as love songs: you don't understand them until you are in love. I strongly expect myself to enjoy Valentines day when I have a boyfriend or husband.

So, take that as a rant, but that is my new, thought-out, opinion on v-day.

It is worse: I've been thinking about her since I met her.

I can't stay be asleep all the time: she even gets me there (been dreaming about talking to her and telling her). So even unconscious: she is in my mind.

Now, all the dreams imply: it will all work out if I tell her. But dreams are usually just your subconscious so can I trust me to right?

Later those thoughts turned, " okay, she is pretty, smart, cute, hot, sweet, nice, kind"
I mean, maybe it is the crush talking, but I see no faults with her.

Someone should reiterate:

What was on TV on Tuesday?

What was on TV on Tuesday?
Mostly "crap".

Mostly "crap".
You are right Tuesday is normaly a go to the movies night but one can't do that on on VD Day alone.

Its over. I survived. Nuff said.

Jesus some of you are cold dead in the heart.
It wounds me that you should be so cold yourself in saying something so compassionless. Had you thought that some of us have no reason for joy, no reason love. That we would restrict our reserved affections for one day of a great many? Some of us may seem cold, but I assure you most of us who seem so employ that image as a defense mechanism to conceal what others find a weakness and to keep blood-thirsty society at bay.

If you really love somebody why do you need one specific day to show it?
That's my point exactly.

Well, No One Has Flamed Me For 30 Minutes On This Thread. So I Guess This Latest Argument Is Officialy Dead, Unless Jewish Media Control Or Starps Starts It Up Again. Where's Europa Maxima? She'd Help Me Out In This Debate.
He. :p

Thanks i'd give it a 4/10.

Why are roses a symbol for love, especially on Valentines Day? I mean, they're pretty and all, but they start dying the moment you pick them. By the time you give them to someone, they have about 2-3 weeks to live before they succumb to decay and wilt away. Giving roses is like saying:

"My love for you is based on your transitory outer appearance"

Is that really the message you want to send to someone you care about?

Now, a potato, on the other hand, is a great symbol for love. I mean, they last forever. And you don't even have to put them in a vase! Even better, if you leave a potato to its own devices, it'll start growing little buds. I mean, can a rose do that? I don't think so. And with roses, all you can do with them is look at them, smell them, and maybe turn them into some sort of garnish. With potatoes, you can cook a myriad of different foods with it, from all over the world. Heck, you don't even have to eat the potato to enjoy it: batteries can be made with a potato. That’s like saying

"My love for you comes in many shapes and forms."

And even though potatoes can be pretty ugly, they're still awesome. And that, unto itself, makes for the best message of all:

"It doesn't matter at all what you look like, I'll still love you."
