Sorry. I just happen to agree with Bingo that it's a commercialized, guilt-tripping mess of a holiday with little redeeming qualities in its current form. Case in point: those terrible, terrible jewelry commercials I mentioned yesterday. That's all that Valentine's Day is about now: buying love.

Valentine's Day is not about buying love, its about show love. One way you show love is buying gifts. Just about every holiday is commercialized, especially Christmas. Should we hate every holiday?

I smell a red herring*... while Bingo's sense of humor doesn't usually agree with (I can't really speak for his opinions), jumping to a large claim such as that is never a strong argumentative technique.

*I may be misusing the term "red herring", but it's the closest I can remember to a technical term for using extremities

I fail to see a red herring anywhere in what I said. Bingo seems to hate Valentines Day because it is over commercialized, so is just about every other holiday. Therefore I asked "should we hate everyone other holiday as well"? what is wrong with logic I used? I think you are misusing the term.
