The Idiocy of Mother's/Father's Day

[anileve]

Oh liiiird! That was my point, many people take their mothers for granted. Mother's care is something we expect and accept without much thought, so if it takes a "Government Day" to remind us of that so be it. I doubt your mother would be furious if you made breakfast for her and put a smile on her face with her favorite dessert, and a kiss with a simple "Thank you". Especially our Armenian mothers who sacrifice the world for their family expecting nothing in return and often getting only the happiness of their kids is enough for them. Why must you always reduce everything to a government propaganda.

And I didn't say anything about a father's day, because I chose not to.

Because you still havent given a reason why we should have a day for that when every day is akin to the same thing, or why a government should tell people how to think. Your response is exactly the uncritical response I was referring to. It's a pointless day made by pointless people.

Anon, I gave you a perfect reason, apparently you are not allowing it to sink into your stubborn pretty little head. Fine then, I really don't feel like repeating myself over and over again. Yes it's all a government propaganda, the world sucks, women suck, Armenians are disintegrating, our values are vanishing and the world is condemned to hell! Shyt, I need some Prozac.

Stick to the topic, and get a hold of yourself. Your rants reflect nothing I mentioned in this thread other than the pointlessness of a holiday created by "public servants", the same ones that are behind much of the social ills. Now your reason is something I already addressed and its not much of a reason, if you cant deal with the reality of the situation and choose to cover meaningless days with the illusion of something holy, then so be it.

Who the hell cares? Mothers seem to enjoy it, for the most part. Isn't that really all that matters?

You can use this kind of pseudo intellectual reasoning to abolish all holidays. But the reason the mouse can rant and rave because in the back of his mind he knows what he wants will never happen. So the position of the "wake up people it's all a set up" guy will always be there.

exactly.


yea, its a pointless holiday who's sole intent is for ppl to spend money & give sweetshops & florists some extra business. u could buy ur mom a gift or some flowers any day of the year, but when do u actually do it? i guess for ppl who never get around to it, its like an alarm clock that helps u make sure u do it at least once a year! lol it gets crowded in those shops on mother's day, so u can go the day after mother's day. its just as good. im sure mom would still be happy..

& thats what its all about. so amen loseyourname.

Yes, some of us need bussiness booms a couple of times a year.

I don't see the harm in having a holiday that praises parents. I would give my mother the world but for now, I'll give her a holiday.
