are there any hippys here?

Thank you Erzebet. That dont sound too bad. I gotta admit that I got a prety low pinion of hippys but you dont sound too bad. I dont agree with you but I dont think your unusually offencive. Im not tryinna be a wise guy or nothin but I guess I got a diferant picture in my mind of what a hippy is. You sound like a nice person. Thanks for your answer and Blessins on ya.

 

Thank you , I think deep down inside everyone is basically the same , we just see things different is all...but people are wonderful in their own ways.

 

No it doesn't sound silly. You have just described Christian Anarchy. Maybe someday it will work.

 

I'm not a hippie, Jesus is a stoner.

 

Unfortunately, most of the time, I have to live in the capital city of Romania. Here I have a job, here I have a house to live in... I'd love to be free... but I can be free just on holidays... But I am fascinated by the hippy lifestyle...

 

whoa language.

ive met some cool people here.

theres a couple of questionables but thats anywhere

 

I dont call myself a Christian...Im no where NEAR Holy or anything...truthfully I dont understand what Christian Anrachy means , but i sure would like to understand. , maybe you could Pm me ?

 

You lived in a forest hun and not because you had to...I think you def constitute as a hippie

 

I am a true hippie. Filthy dreads, dirty clothes, bumming away most of my time, rebelling against society, left-wing political ideas etc.

You may call me the ultimate hippie - the one the word 'hippie' was invented for.

 

This

 

And this.

 

I think I understand. Im not shure but I think I do. In the case of Erzebet, her hippyness has nothing to do with her apperance. But in the case of Bird-Migration apperances seem to be important. Mabey not "important" but a factor none the less. I think I like the Erzebet type of hippy better. -Ive been called a hippy on a fyew occations and I made shure to correct the commenter immediatly. It offended me to be called a hippy. But after seeing Erzebets post I come to the conclusion that I wouldnt mind being called a hippy too much if the person thought I shared Her views. I dont but I wouldnt mind too much if someone thought I did. I would however mind if someone called me a hippy because they thought I was dirty and smelly and a bum. That line of thought would have to be corrected. Just to get the record straight.

 

The idea that hippies are dirty is stupid. Not bathing was done in a protest against society. It was not the norm. It got to the point where any street person way called a hippy when that was not the case. Anyway it's not what you look like or even smell like. It is a state of being. You either are or you are not. It seems to still be all about lables. Sad.

Peace

 

it seems labels are what makes society
go around

 

Yeah...Like..You're the gay guy that does meth.
And I'm the annoying girl that keeps pointing that out

 

exactly

 

It seems to be human nature to classify things as a way to understand them. It's difficult in this situation to make sense out of this #1 because the ideals are so much different than what traditions dictate as a societal norm and what responsibilities we have, and #2 because everyone seems to go about it differently. The ambiguity of it all and the fact that people have a tendency to pick and choose what they wish to believe and practice (as is their right, and I wish more people would rather than follow an example to a T) makes it difficult to define.
In short, yes it's sad that all of us are classified the same, when every group has its saints and its assholes, but not unexpected, and not about to change any time soon.

This is another issue. People wearing the "uniform" for a certain group does not make them of that certain group, no matter how much they wanna be. Hippie is on the inside. There are plenty of dicks out there that eat organic produce and wear hemp clothes, but I would NOT call them hippie. I'm one of those people that thinks that clothing should not define a person. In middle school and partly through high school, I used to dress "hippie" and feel real cool until it got to the point where it was just uncomfortable, because I felt like I was trying too hard to make sure everyone knew who I was before they met me. The problem with that is you get all of the negative connotations that come with that image you portray, so it's better just to wear what's comfortable for you and get to know people and discuss things with them. Otherwise, you just get a lot of, "So... uh... I guess you care about whales a lot...?"

Perhaps... perhaps.

 

i doubt there are any real hippys left
in this world they have all conformed

 

And they have Internet !!!!!!

 

I refuse to conform...I think at my age i have earned the right to be able to enjoy just being who I am and however i wish to live , as long as Im not hurting anyone.
And i have the internet to keep in touch with my grandbabies that live a ways away from me...thats all.
And to be here....and to do my writing.
