Happy Valentine's Day, suckers

It seems that everytime I read an Indonesian news website, I am reminded as to why I probably will never go back to that country to live. There are just too many idiots trying to call the shots there. And usually, about unimportant matters.

Like Valentine's Day, for example.

Here are some quotes which will either piss you off or make you laugh (or both).

"To celebrate this day that's called "love one another" day is against the principles of Islam." 'Cos like... Islam preaches hate?

"Valentine's Day is not compatible with our culture, [because] during such celebrations usually there are people kissing and hugging, which is sinful." Almost everything in Indonesia is sinful. Except spitting in the streets and taking a dump in the river.

"We have asked mosque officials to hold religious lectures for teenagers on Valentine's Day evening." Lame, dude! With our raging hormones we'd rather go somewhere else to, you know, kiss and hug.

"Our version of Valentine's Day should fall on the 28th of October because it was on that day that a bunch of young people declared their love for this nation." This suggestion could only have come from a nerd who never had a girlfriend and who took their primary school history books seriously.

*Indonesia's national day to commemorate a declaration made in 1928 by young Indonesian nationalists, proclaiming their nationalist principles.

That country is seriously fucked.
