It is now officially V-day (at least in my timezone)... all those in revolt hoist your drinks and refuse to participate in this once Catholicized, now commercialized hell day.

I don't understand hating Commercialism day. I mean come on, it's one of the only days of the year when I get randomly given chocolate.
 
An explaination of Valentines Day in a short question and answer format:


Who gives these chocolates, roses, jewelry and other goodies to whom?

From the males to the females!

Where do the males get the chocolates, roses, jewelry and other goodies?

From the store!

How do the males get the chocolates, roses, jewelry and other goodies from the store?

By purchasing them with an exorbitant amount of money!

Do the males get anything in return?

Usually not.

...and the persons with no significant others regardless of gender, what do they do?

They get DRUNK.
 
So not a national age. I suspect if they dropped the age here below 21, the rate of deaths for Freshman in college would either go dramatically up (due to the ease of availability) or down due to the diminished interest in something actually legal.
