In atheist China, flowers may be confiscated - but observance of the day catches on regardles
This photo, among other photos on the BBC News website, caught my attention. The caption says that flowers used to celebrate Valentine's day are confiscated. Police, confiscating flowers seems a little strange to me.
Likewise in another photo on the website, protesters in India distrupted Valentine's day festivities claiming that the holiday went against Hindu culture. Perhaps these people are extremely pious people, have justifiable reasons to fight against Valentine's Day, or just being ridiculous.
Do you think that people-or police- can "ban" Valentine's Day?
Do you think that those who oppose Valentine's Day have logical reason to do so, or are just anti-Valentine's Day?

I heard on the news today that a Middle Eastern country (I forget which Arab country, though) banned red roses, so the delivery services deliver the red roses at night. This has thus increased the red rose "black market." I just hear it this morning and thought it was a little weird. Maybe some countries are trying to keep their own culture and keep away from the more western culture. I really have no idea. Maybe some countries think that giving flowers and chocolates is kind of a rip off. Who knows? Anything's possible.
Isn't the day: La dia de San Valentine? Or something of the sort? So in that regards, heck ya it is okay to ban considering it is associated not only with a religion but AMERICA too, lol.
