So *THAT'S* why I didn't get one this year!
Damn.
Well, just the boys. The girls are mere possesions to be raped and killed at will.
Next thing we know, the radical fundamentalists will be picketing in front of that beautiful edifice.
Or do they outsource their picketing jobs to those in lower castes?

I sympathize with wanting to trash V-Day cards, and break just about everything else today. F%^&ing women. Okay, I'm done pouting now.
They should not show these photo, according to my local editor
"To do so would needlessly offend many in our community and would add little to the debate."
Happy Valentines Day!
And dont take too seriously the above article. The loonies are having a field day only to attract some media attention. V-day is a rage in India!
This is why they don't "get" Love:
I John 4
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.
8He that loves not knows not God; for God is love.
9In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
Okay, let's go find another planet, this one is infested with idiots. Evil Valentine's day indeed!
The Religion of Peace Idiocy
Okay, the Mohammedans I get, but what's up with the usually syncretistic Hindus, whose own religious tradition includes the Kama Sutra, objecting to Valentine's Day?
Be my anti-Valentine
By Olivia Barker, USA TODAY Mon Feb 13, 7:16 AM ET
This Valentine's Day, retailers are thumbing their noses at hearts and redirecting arrows at Cupid himself.
Traditionally sweet symbols and sayings are getting tweaked in the card and gift aisles, resulting in teddy bears that are more wry than warm and fuzzy and candies that are more sarcastic than saccharine.
It's a reflection of the anti-Valentine sentiment that's been streaking through the holiday for the past few years, with singletons asserting their solidarity in Feb. 14 parties that champion camaraderie over coupling.
After all, divorces, prenuptial agreements and annulments historically spike around Valentine's Day - 36%, 28% and 21% respectively in 2005, according to LegalMatch.com - so why not archly acknowledge the holiday's less-romantic side with a T-shirt that proclaims "Cupid can't aim"?
"People are tired of the pressure, of making it so commercial," says Ana Weber, a dating and relationship coach based in Newport Beach, Calif. (In 2005, Unity Marketing found that Valentine's is the third-biggest gift-giving holiday, behind Christmas and Mother's Day; celebrators spend $126 on average.) "Romance and passion and love should be something more spontaneous. This is not a business deal."
AG Interactive, the online arm of American Greetings, says more customers are asking for skewed (and skewering) Valentines. The company's collection numbers nearly a dozen. AG Interactive's Sally Babcock says she gave her sister a paper card this year featuring perfume bottles and the message "Valentine's Day stinks," and she "loved it." At shopping comparison site Shopping.com, lonely hearts can trawl for down-with-love loot. Valentine's Day "traditionally felt really exclusionary if you didn't have someone in your life," says Shannon Clouston, the site's chief shopper. Now, "everyone's owning a piece of it."
The celebration of Anything with a heart is like an insult and slanderous slap in the face and disrespectful to heartless Islamites.
I'm sure showing respect, romance and love toward women is highly offensive to cultures where women are things you participate in human rights abuses against.
Those folks don't have a religion, they have a cult, look at the fruits of their religion and culture and you will know what they are.
Ahhh, more barbarism as India shows it's true colors once again.
The wannabe western nation strikes again.
Now let me remind myself of this the next time I see a thread about our nice friends in "the world's biggest democracy, India."
Well, I'm glad I didn't send them a box of chocolates.
Can the adminsitrators of this site write a cron job to automatically post an article like this every Valentine's day?
It would save some Freeper the trouble of posting essentially the same article every year.
"We appeal to our children to stay away from this western culture."
Yeah, instead we try to encourage them to blow up cafes where mothers and children are innocently sipping coffee, tea, and milk. Or to behead people whose hands are bound and unable to fight back. Or to blow up unsuspecting vehicles simply driving down the road from point A to point B in order to live their daily lives. We believe these to be much healthier activities. Western values simply don't cater to good muslim values of irrational hatred.
