    Oh, and for all of you who think it's "unhippy" to make money, just what are YOU livin' on?

    Come on, I want to hear from ANYBODY who hasn't touched money in say the last year or so.

    If you don't qualify under that definition, then don't criticize others who try to make a living, in whatever way they choose (long as it don't hurt nobody - unlike those who kill people, under the guise of being a patriot, for a living).

    They could learn a few things from the Old Hippies of the world, if they were to take it to that level. But I wonder about the families that would be involved, as to say , if the hippie still smoked (pot) as a way of life and the swapper as straight called the laws, that would be an uncomfortable situation.
    To me my home is my sancuary and is sacred to me. I like to be in control of my enviroment and don't like strangers vibing my things. It's the only thing that is mine/hubby's and that we hold free and clear, the only place I am safe from negativity. I wouldn't like to swap. Visitors are fine, but swapping could be dangerous.

    Money is but a tool to obatin the creature comforts we would all like to grow accustom to. I would like ooddles of money to give to the people in dier straights. There's plenty of them out there in every neighborhood in amerika. Our obbsession with money is what keeps us from it. What is yours you have and will always have, what is not will never be. We create what ever circumstance we are in. We can recreate our way out. It's a matter of the Doing, that manifests it.
    I never thought I would have and be what is today, but this was my dream when I started out on my journey and it has come back to manifest in my life. I created this dream when I was 11 or 12 right down to what my future mate would look like, as little girls do dream such dreams. Now I live what I wished for as it has been manifested by the Doing. The doing is getting out and working for it and making it happen.
    In my opinion man's idle hands only make mischief.

    If you destest us, why hang around us?

    You could not even grace us with the standard "Get back to your bong hippie"? That would have put a smile on my face.

    Skip, you and your moderators just don't get it do you? It is EXTREMELY easy to get back on here so why even try. IP address banning doesn't work. I'm not trying to piss you off but c'moooon!

    Abbie Hoffman was a self serving womanizer who did everything in his power to get media attention so he could sell books and make money on the lecture tours.There is nothing wrong with making money,but it should be done ethically.Hoffman is as bad as Jerry Falwell and all those other self appointed leaders and webmasters.Or is that too hard to understand?
    Point is no true hippie would go on that show,nor would they give a fuck about my opinion on the matter.
    But let's get real,It would be a great chance to promote your site and sell some of those posters you advertise,wouldn't it.peace

    Not only can you circumvent a mod's power to stifle your bellicose behavior, but you can also mock us for such. Wow, you certainly are cool :) . And I love your use of the loco smiley, it sure does make me respect you more.

    Banning a bean doesn't necessarily mean we'd think you'd never come back. Just hopefully that you would get enough self-respect to prevent Yet Another banning. Think of it like a circle ohming you out of the gathering, you can certainly come back, but you will be watched and ohmed out again if you do anything wrong. My opinion. Im not a moderator, and just using "we" for effect. ;)

    But I came on here to say

    Fox is looking for the same thing for their same show, whateveritscalled, something close to Wife Swap. Obviously then, someone had the idea, it may have been decent at first, but now both networks are going to see if they can outdo each other with the "hippier" hippy family. The flakiest, dirtiest, freelovingest example they can find willing to make money by self-exploitation.

    Let's see who wins, because obviously some hippy family is going to sign on the line for the dough. But don't both of them have the other family decide how to spend the money?????? You know Joe Normal will make hippy family get haircuts, buy department store clothes, trade in their bus for a Volvo. And the hippy family will make the other family go on a retreat, get a feng shui consultant and start an account at the Whole Foods market.
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

    "Hippy" families?

    Why, there must be millions of families in America with weight problems.

    Just go to the "Undies Pic Thread" and you will see that is true.

    Turned out well, from what she said (she's biker)
