Who cares if they know it is fathers day? WTF is fathers day? Who
gives a crap if it is fathers day? What makes "fathers day" or mothers
day and freaking more special than the day before or the day after or
a month after? It is just people trying to you to buy more shit. Why
are people so damn stupid to think that any day is different than the
next?

Father's Day has been an official U.S. holiday since 1972.

John just likes to take every chance he can get to pat himself on the back
or have his ego stroked. I’m pretty sure if they don’t know it’s Father’s
Day that he will make sure they know, and more importantly to him, that
he’s “like their father”. Hint, hint.

I prefer to avoid any engagement/contact with young girls below the age of 30 or thereabouts. Life is a lot simpler and less stressful that way. :)

My 4x6 flag is out and it will be nice to talk to my daughter on fathers day.
For mothers day i cooked for my mom. Totally surprsed her. We all talk dailyish but that one day is a reminder to step it up. It is a good feeling. As years go by so do the miles. For my mom, it truly made her day, me just showing up, not just a call. Life gets lonely. Don't let it be. One day...

Yeah as I said, just another day to get people to spend more money.

Like most holidays, Father's Day can be celebrated without spending
any money.

Can be sure, yeah just like mothers day. But someone will buy a card,
perhaps flowers..

Why do you worry about "someone"? People will do what they want.

We don't celebrate Hallmark Holidays. Every few weeks I come home
to find he's bought flowers for me. But never on Valentine's Day,
Sweetest Day, or any of those other Days.

ALL Holidays can be celebrated withOUT spending any money! But it does NOT do the RICH CAPITALISTS any GOOD then!! And since we ALL want to be Rich Capitalists, WE must SEND ALL OUR MONEY!!

Makes NO sense buy WE BUY INTO IT!!

Yeah but it just did not mean as much did it? That is one of the
reasons and holidays are just incredibly freakin stupid.
