Would you rather get rid of Valentine's Day or st Patrick's day?

[Metallic Strings 185]

What holiday would you take off the calendar, st Patrick's or Valentine's Day? Me, it would be st Patrick's day. Heck, one year I forgot it was st Patricks day until a week after it was already over.

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

Both are totally worthless holidays to me I'd say Valentine's Day.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

St. Patrick's Day. At least Valentine's Day can be used for some good. The other leads to ethnic stereotypes which should be denounced.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Valentine's Day. Saint Patrick's Day is a significant cultural and religious ceremony for the Irish, catholics, and a few other Christian denominations. On the other hand, Valentine's Day is mostly a corporate plot to make more money and just a day of celebrating love when it should be celebrated every day rather than one particular day. Therefore, taking Saint Patrick's Day will hurt the Irish and catholics a lot.

We don't have "saint patrick's day" where I am living so I would say.

Valentines day.

It's pointless.

[DubWolf 17,261]

Valentine's day; pretty much any holiday that makes people feel left out or empty I would remove.

[Misty Rose 3,216]

I would get rid of Valentine's Day St. Patrick's day doesn't bother me but Valentine's Day does Plus St. Patrick's gives the Irish an opportunity to show some pride

[BayoUni2847 528]

I would rather get rid of Valentine's Day.

 

St. Patrick's Day is an all around better holiday than Valentines.

[MysticShine 529]

Even though Valentines day is more annoying, I'd get rid of St. Patrick's Day since it is completely pointless.

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

Valentines Day, it is pointless and it gives everyone a reason to express their love..... not to mention it shares a day with Arizona's Birthday

[Silver Letter 1,832]

So you would get rid of all holidays.

Are you sure? Look what people have done to it. It's just as corporate now as Mother's Day which used to have good intentions in the past. I don't know about Valentine's Day but it probably had a past too just like Saint Patrick's Day. They're really all the same now.

[HunterTSN 1,444]

St. Patrick's Day; It used to have more historical connotation, but it's mostly become irrelevant in this era. Valentine's Day is a time for couples to celebrate and commemorate their relationship. There are those who may not like it either because they don't care or are bitter over being single, but it definitely has more relevance and meaning to todays society than St. Patrick's.

[Envy 6,159]

Why would I take either off of the calender?

 

I'm lonely every day of the year, so Valentine's Day isn't that terrible to me in of itself. And St. Patrick's Day, while it has no meaning to me really, I wouldn't erase it. It's a tradition that others celebrate but not me... That doesn't mean it should be erased! =P

[Solar Cloud 493]

Neither. Why ruin someone's fun simply because you don't like a holiday? If you don't like it, don't celebrate it and go do something else.

[Sugar & Sins 156]

It doesn't matter which one you say, you will always sound bitter to those who value those holidays. Either way I'd say Valentine's Day, there are just to many people out there who over-emphasize the fact that they're in a relationship when this day swings around and to be fair, it kind of feels like a dig at those of us who aren't.

[Vocaloid_IA 95]

St Patricks Day.

Even though I love showing my pride on St. Patricks Day, What do I get? a barrel of disrespect. Most people find St. Patricks Day a pointless day, and just based off a myth. Plus, I find Valentines Day has a lot more purpose.

 

Here's the wiki for it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day

 

and here's St. Patricks Day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick%27s_Day

 

[BastementSparkle 20,326]

Valentine's day. What bugs me isn't that it's a celebration of love, but that it's only for couples. If it was celebrating all kinds of love, whether that be romantic love, family love, friendship...then I'd be a lot more okay with it. But no, just for couples. Kinda stupid in my opinion.

[Megas 27,609]

Neither

 

Just because Valentines' Day doesn't work for me doesn't mean I should ruin it for others. Plus all the discounted candy you can get afterwards

 

And Saint Patrick's Day is also my birthday >:[

Getting drunk or eating cheap chocolate, hard choice but if I get to ruin someone's day, why not both?  Probably Valentine's Day considering how being wasted is a lot more fun than spending money in a temporary relationship.

[BronySteel 79]

This will be my first St Patrick's Day as legal age, so I'm hyped for that. And planning out something special to do on Valentine's Day is a chore

 

So valentine's day

[cmarston1 5,959]

It's not like any of these holidays actually do anything interesting or really that special.

Plus it sucks to be single of Valentines Day.

As for St. Patrick's day well do people even celebrate it like at all?

[Lunatic Cake 1,618]

Not my Drinking Day!

 

Ahem... guess both count as my drinking day... anyway I wouldn't mind if either were gone because I barely even celebrate them to begin with.

[The Professor...8D 823]

I would get rid of Arbor Day............Trees will kill us all.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

I'd say Valentine's Day since it makes lots of people feel sad.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

I would probably get rid of Valentines day. Many who don't have anybody to spend the day with will often feel sad and lonely and it is pretty unfair to them. Although I wouldn't want to ruin anything for those that do have someone special.
