how inappropriate is this? (if at all)

[minxnim]

someone going to hang out with their ex on valentine's day while their s.o. is away on a trip?

 

[xfer]

valentine's day is a social construct. so nyah.

 

[avi]

it's hard to say without knowing the people and how mature they are.
At face value, I'd say it's no big deal if everyone involved is a responsible person.

 

[minxnim]

well, everyone i am friends with is generally irresponsible and sort of out of it.
i mean, personally i'd do whatever the fuck i wanted. but my friend's boyfriend is like )!@#&*@&#@*#@ you slut!!! and i think he's a spazz.

"social construct"???? 1) Prove IT. 2) waht isn't??

 

[minxnim]

lizards don't celebrate valentines day.

neither do people in iceland.

 

[xfer]

agreed preppy.

also, i would conjecture that the burden of proof is on the person who postulates that there is one special day each year during which the cosmic flow of love is at its height, and to spit in eros' face on this day is a more damning sin than on any other.

 

[tar]

so what? so what isn' constructed to signify specific meanings??! id on't get why people are all like "HALL MARK HOLIDA FUCK THAT"... people like to feel special, that's all. you don't have to buy cards or wahtever but for some people the day is imbued with special meaning. i dunno. i think i am in a bad mood because i have this short response paper to write b5 2pm,b ut it's not even that vexing so i dunno.

 

[tar]

oh yeah i do know. i think people are against stupid things sometime, for instance my being against people who are against stupid things for equally stupid reasons. sign up below this post to be against my opinion.

 

[minxnim]

okay this thread is like, a total disaster and all i really wanted was to tell tanya if like, her boyfriend should be pissed.

 

[goatschool]

i agree with tar.

i think the notion of hanging with whoever you want on that day is logical and pretty much okay, but social conditioning and ritual can't be tossed away so easily. although if these people know each other well enough, i don't think it should be such a problem.

or, maybe this person does know the other well enough and trust issues are right there in plain view.

either or, C

 

[tar]

ps. the word "fuck" is not constructed to signify specific meanings. it's signification is fluid, but always indicates "strong" feelings.

 

[xfer]

well, I think that social conditioning might be a powerful force, but if you give in to it and things go bad, it's pretty much all yourself to blame. if you want to care so much about valentine's day, go ahead, but don't get pissed when your wife gets called in to perform surgery on the 14th and has to miss it.

 

[tar]

"Fuck" you

 

[minxnim]

this thread is so retarded and tar is being extra mean and i dont know why.

 

[xfer]

tar is mad because he was taking part in BCO Survivor and i voted him off the e-land.

 

[azal]

this thread needs some happy vibes.

 

[tar]

i can't explain it either. it's all rainbows for me on the other board.

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

vaguely innapropriate. I personally wouldn't care though.

Somebody had their Carnation Instant Bitch for breakfast!

 

[VangelicSurgeon]

hey, I was just kidding about that bitch thing. I got it from a tv.
