If you need an excuse to loudly proclaim your love from the hilltops, then you're probably not trying hard enough.CmdrWilkens wrote:I both agree and disagree. I agree that for singles the holiday is little more than an omnipresent reminder that they have "failed" somehow. For couples I believe it is as good as the couple makes it especially as it gives excuse to be extravagent where one would be reserved and subtle where one would blare loudly.

And when we're at it, why can't Norway institute a Varg Vikernes day??Durandal wrote:Nah, let's just add in Ted Bundy Day, along with Charles Manson Day. Or, why not just consolidate it all, like President's Day, into Mass Murderer's Day?Grand Admiral Thrawn wrote:I know you're being sarcastic but that's a good idea.Malecoda wrote:Nobody's named fucking COLUMBUS, so let's scratch that off the calendar too!
Indeed. George Carlin suggested taking yourself out to dinner and being a little coy.Sonnenburg wrote:For a group that can't stop talking about the joys of masturbation there sure are a lot of complaints about being unattached.
Look, when the 14th rolls around, make it a special day. Pamper that special limb or object that's brings you so much joy throughout the year, to show it how much you appreciate it. Maybe put on that special music that gets you in the mood later. And the most it'll cost you is fresh batteries.
I was saying Valetnite's Day is the perfect time to be subtle wheras on any other day you don't need an excuse to blare from the mountain tops.GrandMasterTerwynn wrote:If you need an excuse to loudly proclaim your love from the hilltops, then you're probably not trying hard enough.CmdrWilkens wrote:I both agree and disagree.

So a virgin is not allowed to have an opinion on sex? Mike I've been there and done that and frankly if Spanky dislike's conversations devling into the rather open sexuality of most members here that's his right as much as it is every one else's right to be expressive about their sexual lives. By your own theory here atheists should not have an opinion on religion since they hav no direct experience with it (excepting those who left religion obviously).Darth Wong wrote:Does it occur to you that you should not have such strongly held opinions on something in which you have no experience?Spanky The Dolphin wrote:I retract my comment on the first page.
The worst of this I feel will be the continued snide comments by certain individuals that seem to despise my opinions on sex, who I will not name.
Actually, most atheists have experienced religion in some form or other. Religion in this society has a nasty habit of not keeping to itself, as I have pointed out on innumerable occasions. I would not have an opinion on what it FEELS like to be religious; this would require experience.CmdrWilkens wrote:So a virgin is not allowed to have an opinion on sex?

I think he will but that doesn't change the fact that for him it is this important. Just as certain issues are important to certain people at different times. My point, mostly, is that Spanky is entitled to express his opinions based on how he feels. We can tell him it will feel different later but that doesn't make his statements now unjustified.Darth Wong wrote:Actually, most atheists have experienced religion in some form or other.

What's wrong with telling people that an informed opinion is better than an uninformed one? Is that elitist now? I like the way childless people get huffy when I tell them that they don't know jack shit about childraising; it's true. Virgins tend to make sex out to be something bigger and more important than it is, and Spanky is no exception. It's this big looming thing on the horizon which evokes both fear and anticipation. After he's had it a few thousand times, he'll probably relax a bit, don't you think?
