At the risk of hijacking the other topic I was replying to, I decided to make this a new topic. For all of you hippies out there who don't wear shoes, what do you think is the most barefoot un-friendly state? I would have to say FLORIDA I've been to the Miami area twice and I could not set foot into any place without getting yelled at or reamed out. Bars, restaurants, k-mart, grocery stores, even McDonalds would not stand for bare feet. This totally shocked me because Miami is in a tropical climate. If you live in the tropics, why the hell wouldn't you want to go around barefoot??? My friend was with me the one trip. He's not a hippie and he was getting mad at me for not wearing shoes and getting into trouble everywhere I went. He finally made me buy a pair of flip-flops.
Great question. In my mind, it is a true paradox; Satets that are hip to hippies, ie. Cali, Oregon, Colorodo, upstate NY, and maybe like Vermont,etc. are difficult to go barefoot in because these states tend to be hilly. It is difficult to walk around mountains and valleys with no shoes, whereas the most uncool state... (no offense intented), Indiana, FLorida, Alabama, it is conversley very easy to not have shoes on on flat ground...if the rednecks don't shoot ya down.
any state where the average person has enough common sense to appropriately dress themselves is barefoot unfriendly. refusing to use common sense and keep your feet safe from injury has nothing to do with being a hippie, and is one of the primary reasons the average person considers hippies to be fucking morons whose ideas are not worth acknowledging.
i should probably add that i have no problem with going barefoot and i personally prefer not to wear shoes unless i have to. it just bothers me when people try to make an issue out of it. there are obviously reasons for wearing shoes, and if you go out of your way to make barefooting your great cause then i just think you're missing the point somewhere.
BULLSHIT...Millions Of People Around The World NEVER Wear Shoes, Even Where Their Country Extends Up Into The Snowline. As An Example, Did You Watch All The News Video Footage *no pun intended* Of The Tusamni *spelling*...? All The People Filmed Were Clambering Over The Rubble, And NONE Of Them Were Wearing So Much As A Pair Of Flip Flops. Ladies And Gentlemen Of The Jury, I Rest My Case...., Cheers Glen.
Not Wishing To Get Personal "Underkerdunker-Boi" But Had Your Father Worn One, I Would Not Be Having This Most Annoying Conversation With You Now.!!.........:toetap05:. Cheers Glen.
Just because someone doesn't wear shoes doesn't make them a moron. For your information, I haven't owned shoes in about 2 years. Not because I am trying to prove a point, I just don't see a need for them in my life. If you don't have shoes, your feet toughen up to the point where terrain or temperature extremes don't hurt them. There are people all around the world who have never owned shoes. Are they all morons? Your soft feet are weak and prone to injury therefore, you probably do need to buy shoes. Who is the moron? Obviously not the shoe companies who are making money off of you. Make sure to thank the child slaves who made your shoes. I would have to agree with Glen Glen 100% I heard that half the people in Australia don't wear shoes. Apparently they don't look at you like a moron either. I hear that they just think "He likes to wear shoes, she doesn't like to wear shoes" simple as that. They don't judge you as a hippie or anything. Is this true Glen Glen? Also, I love how Americans think that shoes are necessary for survival and they even try to do fund raisers to put shoes on kids feet in Africa, etc. Who says they even want shoes? There are countless tribes in the Amazon and New Guinea who live in the jungle in harsh environments completely naked. Are they morons? Or are they living the way our creator designed us to? Sorry for going on a tangent. It just gets me mad when someone takes an innocent question like this and turns it into a great debate on why we should all wear shoes. I'm a hippie, I don't own shoes, (I don't support child slave labor) and I'm damn proud of it.
Me Thinks "Y-Front-Boi" Is Starting to Get His "Hipsters" In A Knot... Using Terms Like "Nazi"..To Describe Someone Who Chooses Not To Wear Shoes..F.F.S... Give Me A Break.. GLEN...(3)...JOCKSTRAP-BOI...(0).... Cheers Glen.
Why are you always so happy glen? Even when you are angry and/or argueing with someone you still say cheers haha. Can't anybody get you really pissed enough for you to not say cheers?
Some People Have Photos As Their Sig, Which They Change Every Week. Every Post I Have Ever Made On Teh Interboobs Has Been In "CAPS", And Been Signed Off With "Cheers Glen". This Is My Sig..... However In Exceptional Circumstances I Have Been Known To Sign Off "Sneers Glen", Or "Tears Glen"............ Cheers *Without Any Sneers Or Tears*.....Glen
Ok I was just wondering. But you know it's not really your sig right? If its a sig then it is underneath the black line under your post which you don't have, which clearly means you type it out every time. Its like what hotwater does. Who did that first you or hotwater?
.O.K......If You Really Want To "Split Hairs", It's My "Style".......O.K. Now Be A Good Boi, And Go Play Kick Ball On The Freeway... Problem Solved... Cheers Glen.
You know you can buy shoes without supporting child slave labor right. Jesus just wear shoes, there are pretty legitmate reasons by places like Wendy's and Wal-Mart want you to wear shoes. 1. a lot of people just have plain nasty feet. 2. they don't feeling like dealing with your ass if you step on something in this sue happy country.
