My idea to stimulate the economy...

[Frosty]

I was sitting here thinking of a way to generate economic growth that would stimulate many industries and really get the cash flowing...

This will be better than any TARP program, any "green jobs" initiate, any "jobs bill"...

Make every ****ing day Valentines Day...ridiculous holiday where a ton of money is spent. The amount of $$$ spent on this day is insane :mad: I think it's a flawless idea...economic growth, plenty of sex....it's a win win situation :rofl:

I was at the store to get some breakfast stuff(Acme and CVS) and the lines were packed with guys buying flowers, candy, stuffed animals etc. If you that 365 days a year we could really get back on track. :mrgreen:

***Disclaimer*** This is in no way a bashing/political thread..it's a V-Day bashing thread. Mods can delete this if they feel it's going to go in an ugly direction.

I agree lol. Valentines Day is a stupid ****ing scam holiday. Ill admit i bought some flowers, but i will never buy some $300 piece of jewelry just for Valentines day....stupid

[Frosty]

I did my part to spend $$ too :( :lol:

Hallmark can go to hell!

[Featherburner]

Hallmark can go to hell!Why? Don't you feel a card is worth $5?:lol:

I like how my local florist jack the rates up from $2 to $6 a rose a couple days before, and up until Valentines Day. $70ish for a dozen roses :shock:

Here's my gripe with Vday.

If you buy anything, the lady is expecting it and you don't get any positive points. The only thing that happens is you simply don't get deducted points.

If you buy your lady a single rose / carnation / sun flower / ANYTHING on any random day of the year with no significance, it will mean more than two dozen roses on v-day by factors of exponential powers.

Why? Don't you feel a card is worth $5?:lol:

agreed w/both of you. thats why i made my own card and in it i included the words "when you throw this away i won't feel bad about wasting the 5 bucks on a card" wife even says i should write for hallmark :lol:

[NastyEllEssWon]

no gifts were exchanged between me and the woman. with all the moving bs and the recent meltdown of my desktop (thank goodness for the old laptop) money is being spent elsewhere at the moment.



the best present of all is the new 4 bedroom 2 bathroom house were moving into thats half the price what were paying now for a 2br 1 bath :D

Its a commercial holiday through and through the only sure winner is the retail end. With hope others get lucky too.

Eh me and the girlfriend agreed not to buy anything, but I did anyway just so I wouldn't look like a d-bag.

[Czop418]

Yupp I did my part too. Those damn Roses from Steven Singers really did the trick tho :naughty:

[BigAls87Z28]

ahaha...Ihatestevensingers.com...He is pumped all over O&A's radio network on XM.

The gf and I did nothing today. Friday, we went out to dinner. Saturday, we went to go see a movie. Today, my brothers and I took my mom to dinner.
No flowers, no gifts, no nothing. Im not used to this type of relationship.

[CHRIS67]
