Amblève. 4,995 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 A nice quote...People moaning about being single on Valentine's Day should shut the fuck up.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Lool, I don't understand why people don't like this day. It's a nice day for couples, and if you're single, so what? No need to be bitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to be bitter I like the idea of valentines day, but I really despise how capitalism abuses it. I mean a single red rose was being sold for 20$ today, 10 times more than the usual price; that's theft! francozola, BluesChick and LDN Blue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! manpe 10,861 Posted February 17, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted February 17, 2012 Valentine's day is a meaningless holiday. It's a day dedicated to capitalism, "buy this and that" or you don't care of your close ones - that's a classical example of exploiting people's relationships for monetary gain. Reality is that every day should be a valentine's day.. people shouldn't show attention to their loved ones only on one day in a whole year, it should be made clear throughout the year so there wouldn't be so much emphasis on a single day.I heard that most suicides are committed on valentine's, a day that pressures people's emotional attachments - not a single other day has such effect on people, especially lonely people. I personally don't celebrate this, I have my own beliefs. francozola, Swedish House Mafia, dave30 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yes, I think the same can be said of Mother's Day and Father's Day. I don't need one day of the year to give my affection to my parents, because I do that every day. Peace., BluesChick and termninja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedish House Mafia 508 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Shops near me were selling normal roses for $45. A whipped mate of mine bought one for his GF that breaks up with a guy every couple of weeks. Lolol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesChick 1,260 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I'm with Blue Lion, I don't need Valentine's day to show my husband I love him or for him to show me. I see it (and give it) in the little things we do for each other. Like the day before Valentine's day when he went out looking for carnations for me so that I could have my science club kids learn how to dye them pink! I let my parents know all the time that I love them and I show my love to my kids every day, again in the little things.These are "Hallmark" holidays that were designed to increase revenue for flower shops, candy shops and card stores!Right now I am just hoping it will be a BLUE weekend and we can get out of this slump we are in. francozola, BlueLion. and termninja 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Peace. 4,352 Posted February 19, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted February 19, 2012 I had this on my facebook, it's an interesting read :This is so awesome. Please take a moment to read:A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be:If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
