Valentines day is a day when red roses suddenly cost 3 times as much as they do on a non-Valentines day....

Valentine Traditions

In England, hundreds of years ago, children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went from door to door singing. One verse went like that:

Good morning to you, Valentine
Curl your locks as I do mine ---
Two before and three behind.
Good morning to you, Valentine.

In Wales, they carved "Wooden Love Spoons" and were given as gifts on Valentine's Day. Special decoration like hearts, keys and keyholes were carved on the spoons. The decoration translated means "Unlock my Heart".

In the Middle Ages, young men drew names of young girls from a jar and they would be a couple during Valentine's. They also would wear the names on their sleeves for a week so that others knew how you are feeling.

Today, a love seat is smaller couch. Originally it was made to seat a woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat, as it was named, had two sections, and often it was S-shaped. That way a couple could sit together - but not to closely.

In some other countries, a woman would receive gifts, such as clothing, from a young man. If she kept the gift, it means that she intend to marry him.

Other times, some people would believe that if a woman saw a Robin flying overhead an Valentine's Day, she would marry a sailor. Or, if she saw a Sparrow, she would marry a poor person and would be very happy, but if she saw a goldfish, (I guess there were not too many around at that time), she would marry a millionaire.

Another believe is, if you cut an apple in half and count all the seeds inside, you will know how many children you will have.

Another apple believe is, that if you think of five or six names of boys or girls you might want to marry while you twist the stem of an apple, and recite the names until the stem comes off, you will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem came off.

If you pick a Dandelion that has seeds, and blow the seeds into the wind, you count the remaining seeds and that is the number of children you will have.

In North America as well as Europe, many people give candy or chocolates to their sweethearts on Valentine's Day. Candy is sweet and so are sweethearts. The candy/chocolates are sold in fancy boxes, shaped like a heart, and decorated with flowers and ribbons.

Ye, now its flowers that have been grown and picked by poor worker (South America among other places) who get sick because of the chemical pesticides used in the process andneedlessly flown to the great metropolitan centers, so dislocated and alienated 'consumers' can indulge in a hypocritical ritual. It's just a daft wasteful, exploitative racket.

capitalist government at its best; creating consumerist society which indulges itself in roses and utopia, unaware of what�s going outside their world...

One might argue that it is consumer demand... no one holds a gun to buyers head nor are the workers forced to work...

If anyone would care to send me a dozen red roses feel free.. not bothered where they come from as long as they are fresh.

You'll might be sad to learn that the evil capitalist system spawned the Internet, Apple and Microsoft thus allowing people to be much more aware of what's happening in the big bad world.

...and your answer is totally flawed. Where did I say anything about you hating the US? You were ranting about the evils of capitalism, so I thought I'd point out that the equipment and technology that you are using to pour scorn on capitalism are products of the evil capitalist system you seem to despise. Does hypocrisy know no bounds?

Come on, be brave and throw your nasty little capitalistic computer out of the window....

Little clue for you... windows, XP, Google, www., http//.. television (with some disagreement because the uk and america were inventing similar products at the same time), without television you wouldnt have monitors.. blah blah blah!!!!!!!! Without the western world you would still be living in mud huts and lobbing stones at each other.... just because something was made in tiwan, it doesnt mean it wasnt invented by Britain, America or any other western country.

you are happy to cast blame because its easy to blame others. personally I just think you are a hypocrite. Its all good while it suits you. we it doesnt you complain.
