Serial killers!!! Thats my second beef. Let me explain how this day leads to serial killers. First off I can't believe that in this PC world they even let Valentines be given out in schools. With every child being a special snowflake, how does it work for the kid in class no one wants to give a valentine to? Come on be real, there is one or two in every class. The girl or boy no one likes, how must that feel? So here is how it plays out. Kid gets a few pity Valentines. Gets a pube or two a year later and starts to write terrible emo music. Realizes emo sucks balls and discovers goth! Loses all emo sadness and self loathing starts listening to angry murder music. Grows long greasy hair and gets notice me please piercings. Starts of small killing cats and dogs. Shoots up school after playing violent video games. Or goes back to normal goes to college and hides world resenting ideas. Then slowly starts to make a woman suit like Buffalo Bill. This all starts from a bad Valentines day..... Well maybe that doesn't happen often but thats my second beef serial killers!
Its creepy, serious at first it was about martyrs but then some loopy brit added this
Chaucer's love birds
The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) byGeoffrey Chaucer[22] Chaucer wrote:
For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese his make.
["For this was on Saint Valentine's Day, when every bird cometh there to choose his mate."]
This poem was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England toAnne of Bohemia.[23] A treaty providing for a marriage was signed on May 2, 1381.[24] (When they were married eight months later, they were each only 15 years old).
15! Seriously a poem written for 15 year old lovers made this a romantic holiday. And cupid, he is a fat boy often in a diaper. What the hell kind of holiday has that for a mascot. At least have a chick on a brass pole for a mascot!
In closing the holiday is a commercial rip off, that creates serial killers and is based on a teen marriage with a fat boy in diapers as a mascot. Sticking simply to those facts this is a messed up day. Now the sad thing is I did in fact get my girlfriend a card and a teddy bear to get laid yesterday, but I am fairly sure that woulda happened without the bear and card
