Why are people so bitter towards the valentine's day?

Because it's a commercial "holiday" designed to make single people feel left out, and couples spend ridiculous amounts of money on cheap tat.
If you love someone you don't need a "special day" to prove it.

But what's wrong with dedicating a day to celebrating love?

People buy presents? Who are these people? They have not been married 25 years, obviously. --DW

I don't think it was meant to make single people feel left out, that's like saying Halloween is designed to make diabetics feel left out. I agree with the rest of your post though.

@PepperMint: Nothing, it's the commercialisation that's happened in the last 15 years that I don't like.

It's a day celebrating st. Valentine.

Is everyone lax about world history?
