It appears Valentines Day will now join the ranks of Christmas, Easter, and Halloween as the latest victim of PC in the quest to appease our newest members of our society. But it is OK, our national identities are not affected in any way, just ask anyone.

The march goes on

Pretty goddamn pathetic.

You can't please everyone. And everyone needs to learn that they can't be pleased all the time.

You follow the customs of the country you come to, the country you come to does not have to follow your customs....

Roses are red, Violets are blue. If you call me your Valentine, my lawyer will sue.

That's weird because over here in yurop nothing has changed for the past 100 years. (in valentines day and national holidays adapting to the cultures of immigrants)

Then tell that to the "Radical" Muslims in Europe who want to institute Sharia Law!

And cant wait to see how some other people will try to justify and/or defend this!

Calling it "Valintines day" is very, very PC already. Its real name is "The Feast of Saint Valintine", however I don't know anyone who calls it that.

Just to add to this, Valentine's Day has become so commercialized that it really has lost any of its religious context, so there really is no reason to change its name.

Who cares? Valentines day is shit.

I'd have thought it more likely that stereotypically overprotective American mothers thought it inappropriate to teach kids about love because that might cause them to have unprotected secks and so piss off God, than Saudi Arabia doesn't like it.

....and we're still allies with Saudi Arabia... shame on us....

Anyway, what schoolteachers choose to do in the name of PC is their business. Now, if the government was forcing a ban on Valentine's Day, then that's where the concern should be.

lets just have all the people we dont like become friends with the saudis instead. that way, when we have the eventual GDP of myanmar, you would maybe be happy. then youll have something to complain about.

We gotta own up to one thing or another.

Either we place money and oil over human rights, or we place human rights over those things.

Don't complain about the cultural bullshit of a nation you trade heavily with. We can't even begin to bitch about Darfur if we still trade with countries like Saudi Arabia or China.

Granted, I too would prefer that we continue to trade with China and Saudi Arabia. However, I think we should lessen our dependency on both of them. In the meantime, we can't really play the world's police about human rights and "democracy" as long as we depend on those nations for trade.

I just find threads like this one to be extremely hypocritical.
