But there are also scumbags that call themselves hippies.
Basically the easy way to tell the difference with fairly good accuracy is that real hippies just call themselves people, and people who call themselves hippies are not usually hippies..
Sometimes perhaps, but you know what I mean..
Yep. The real hippies don't try to go out of their way with all the peace and love bullshit. The fake ass hippies live in a dreamland where everyone loves and hugs eachother.

Yeah, most country types are still freaked out about pot though, and oh man, mention mushrooms and most rednecks look at you like you have 3 heads or something.
Seems like not too much progress towards open-mindedness with the country folks afterall I'm afraid..

I think the "hippies" I know are great for reasons opposite of this man. They dont preach their all great and powerful knowledge and way of living to others at all. They just live and are happy. And why shouldnt they?
I mean if you've got the answers...please, spill the beans. How should our economy run? What religion is correct? Is religion even close to being correct? Whats the deal with airline peanuts? I mean..who are they trying to keep outa these things? (Seinfeld).
My point is: Yours and and everyones views are just as valid as everyone else's. Id say the definition for hippie is "Someone who knows they're not right and doesnt force their views down someone else's throat". But then my view is as valid as yours. Either we're both right or we're both wrong = it doesn't matter at all. And "hippies" know that.

what good is hatred?
-------------------- Annnnnnd I had a light saber and my friend was there and I said "you look like an indian" and he said "you look like satan" and he found a stick and a rock and he named the rock ooga booga and he named the stick Stick and we both thought that was pretty funny. We got eaten alive by mosquitos but didn't notice til the next day. I stepped on some glass while wading in the swamp and cut my foot open, didn't bother me til the next day either....yeah it was a good time, ended the night by buying some liquor for minors and drinking nips and going to he diner and eating chicken fingers, and then I went home and went to bed.

I'd rather strive for an attainable goal that give up, throw my hands in the air and say "we're fucked"
what kind of defeatist attitude is that? IT'S OUR GENERATION'S.
You think you hate hippies? you're just as closed minded as you think they are.
Visit The Farm and tell me that same thing you just said. Your post reeks of generalizations, let's examine each one.

Is that limited to hippies? How about the fact that it doesn't matter how well somebodies politics are honed... A political scientist gets the same 1 vote as a "hippy". Should there be entry requirements to vote?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they dress in a uniform of tye dye and hemp jewelry and then claim to be individualists
A great stereotype. Since when does being a hippy equate to claiming one's self to be an individualist? Consider group Independence?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they often combine self-righteousness with being a drain on society
"drain" on society? What are they "draining" from you? I'm assuming it's because they don't embrace into their heart the same transnational conglomerates that are raping the planet for an increase in share size.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are generally naive and ignorant
stereotype, I'd sooner call you the same.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are dirty and smelly
another stereotype
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are poor in a country where prosperity is the rule and not the exception
Wealth != Happiness, and they know it.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are obsessed with music from 40 years ago.
remove the "from 40 years ago" and I'd agree with you
Quote:

*didn't affect I guess that one is all about perspective. From a business perspective? you'd be right? From a social perspective? Dead fucking wrong.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: Because they believe in things like magic crystals and astrology
I think quartz is magic because it helps me keep time.
Quote:
DoctorJ said: Because their women don't shave
Are you trying to date one? Then why does that matter?
Quote:
DoctorJ said: because they are vapid and easily amused
That's more of an insult than a reason to hate somebody
Quote:
DoctorJ said: I could go on, but I think thats enough for now
Puh-lease.
Check this out; replace the word "hippies" with "blacks", "tie dye" with "FUBU" and "hemp" with "gold" in all of the above? Isn't it crazy how racists use the same pathetic arguments you just made against a segment of society they hate?
You *really* need to re-examine your hostility and figure out where all your hate is coming from. I guarantee it isn't from hippies ruining your life.
And lastly, no, I'm not a hippy but I've got enough of a head on my shoulders to think for myself and judge people on a person by person basis rather than a readily identifiable trait that allows me to group.
Your post is full of (misdirected) hate. Let it go...

I don't like hippies because they use their philosopy as grounds for being lazy and self-centered. They're out of touch with reality and proud of it. 9 times out of 10 they smell horrible. There's more but that's enough.
Edit: Oh shit I didn't read DoctorJ's post. Yeah, exactly what he said.

don't be naive. Wealth may not equal happiness, but its certainly a factor in the equation

Can you tell me what the most popular song of the year 1006 was? Do you think anyone will remember the music of this century 1000 years from now? Why idolize musicians when scientists accomplish so much more?
