Valentine's Day?

Hi Class

A current topic of interest is Valentine's Day... It rolls around every year and millions of people around the world participate. Millions of dollars are spent all for the goal of winning the heart of another (or maintaining an already won heart).

My question is... Is this a good thing? Is Valentine's Day something worth celebrating or is it just... well... not necessary?

State your position in the comments area and justify this with a short and clear explanation (reason)...

I look forward to reading the responses.

Valentine's Day - The History
This day of romance has roots in several different legends that have found their way to us through the ages. One legend goes that the Romans threw a priest named Valentine in prison for his teachings. On February 14th, Valentine was beheaded not only because he was Christian, but also because he had supposedly cured the jailer's daughter of her blindness. The night before he was executed he wrote her a farewell letter, signing it "From Your Valentine." Another legend has it that Valentine was an Italian bishop who lived about the same time as the priest Valentine. He was imprisoned because he secretly married couples, against the laws of the Roman emperor. Some legends say he was burned at the stake.

I think it's good because when you're dying you can write a letter to someone before you die.

Hey Mr Crowhurst.

I agree with everyone valentines day isnt just about getting presents from others its about sharing the day with someone you feel something for because if we didnt have it some people wouldnt be able to tell the person how they really feel.

I think valentines day is a good idea! Happy Valentines day to every1 lol.

Hi Mr Crowhurst!

I think Valentines day is just a way for the flower and chocolate shops to make money. I have not got a girlfriend so I have not thought about it but much. But if you ask me it is just a waste of time and money.

Valtines Day is silly. Billions of dollars thats whats its about not love. These are the same people which cut down our forrest and making the poor poorer just by using some fake holiday. This is a load of bull. Its not reconised by the goverment as a holiday because our goverment don't have the presures off super bussiness. Boycot this Fake money making poverty driving holiday and keep your brain out of some millionars pokets.
