Of course it's a stereotype that a proven paedophile will probably molest your children but that's actually proven. What my point is is that you can't just assume someone does something or not or say someone should do something or not just based on how many peace signs they have on their attire.
Tom, there seems to be a problem with you understanding what the label issue is about. We're talking about people that give themselves a label so they can be accepted by others, instead of just being themselves and letting people decide IF they are acceptable. You are talking about people that rape little children and chemicals that kill. Totally different. If a 50 year old man molests a 12 year old kid, he's a damn molester and he deserves the title. Someone wanting acceptance versus someone that is inhumane and breaks the law....hmmm. Some comparison.
Whether given by oneself, or by another, a label is a label. The first is just one with less people in accord. You say nothing to argue against Tom, except that he made a comparison.
Just wanting to wear a peace sign shouldn't necessitate a fascination with the 60's. In my opinion, we should be happy if someone wants to adopt a more peaceful lifestyle, regardless of how much they know about the origins. An opportunity for education I say! Plus, if they just want to dress like hippies, hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
i dont mean to be rude, but whats making you upset here? I just dont see why that should make you so angry... and i repeat my other post- cant remember what it said, but something like... let it go and pretty much what kam says- all the bullshit is meaningless so who gives a shit
Oh sweet lord.. that is just a sin, she didn't know anyone from the 60-70's? holy crap.. haha I see alot of people now adays dressing the the style that I would get laughed at for wearing! I didn't care , standing out was something that I always did, ''Hippy'' was always my label, but now ever is one? what in the hell happened in 2 years, I went from the weirdo ''druggie'' To a cool hippy girl? Im very confused, and it's hard to find actual groovy people to chill with that aren't possers. I feel ya . it sucks... but society is a hole.. everyone is fake now adays (most, sorry.) -ambie
Other people are considered fake because people here apply a label to themselves and get pissed off because those other peeps who do not apply that label to themselves steal their image. Sooo, who's fake here exactly...?
who cares how they dress let them look the way they want if they dress like a hippie it doesnt mean their a poser they just like the style what is a hippie how can you really have a definition of hippie? if anyone can give me a def. i would be more then interested in learning
It's just a fucking label, man. If they want to call themselves "hippies", fine. Let them have at it. If they are happy and no one gets hurt by it, I am happy. Speaking of labels, I want to give myself a new label. What do you guys think? Logan 5, President of the United States of America Make everything that's illegal, legal , and everything that's legal, illegal.
yeah presidents are suppose to withhold information from the people. lie cheat and steal any time they can. make laws in their favor and if the law doesn't pass then give them a big fat bribe
We were talking about the label and how fake presidents make real presidents look bad, you're using the stereotype now.
You guys are overly critical lol. Back to the original topic. It's not possible to be hip some of the time, but trolling everything doesn't really help either.
