lock him a padded room with nothing playing but the grateful dead over a loud speaker (so he won't destruct the CD player). give him so weed and force him to go to a rainbow gathering and get him laid by a hippy chick! he'll change!
...I hope that the hidden meaning behind this is that you RESPCT his beliefs, but don't share them, if you do share his beliefs then I have a question for you, why the FUCK are you in the young hippies forum?
I respect his beliefs, but that's not the reason why i wrote that. I don't share his beliefs probably (he didn't write his beliefs apart from anti-hippieness, tho, so i can't say). But yeah, hippies are silly..they want to change the world by being passive (i think the hippie protests are quite a passive way of protesting). No, hippies, the world won't change coz you smoke the weed and because you protest. The world will change if you do something real. Get a job, get promoted, get promoted again...once you have the power, you can change the world. So, hippos. And why I'm here? I'm here because every now a person that is able to THINK with brains comes on here...that's the reason.
Hippie or not, who cares? Don't try to "convert" him, it's of no use whatsoever, just try making him respect others, hippies or not, whiles being himself, hippie or not.
How about just live and let live? Why do you need to force your lifestyle onto other people? That's what Christian fundies do, you're no better than them. And I am starting to believe that some of these new usernames are all operated by one person.
We are a huge part of who we surround our self’s with and what we surround our selfs with.. If we surround our self with people of an alternative lifestyle other then following the roll of what "society" wants us to do with our life... then of course you are going to be opened up to different broader mind set... but if you dont surround your self with these people, and all they know and understand is what is comfortable for them in there surroundings then you wont be exposed to an alternative style of living... (us as humans are afraid of change)... maybe when he joins the army he will find the corruption and will seek a journey to another path in life And why is there so much stereotyping.. like all this greatfulldead music.. listen to that and you will be a “hippy”… WHHOAA!!!! okay I have heard of them many times before but have never listen to one song! And people consider me a “hippy” now I think this is kind of bullshnoodle. You see I’m ANDREW on a path, a very spiritual path, a path to finding my self and who “I” am as a person. To find my self and to be connected at a different level. How I choose to take this path weather its me putting my energy out there with vocal toening and healing, yoga and meditation, inspiration from speaking with people, learning, experiencing and loveing this world. And surrounding myself with beautiful people….. this is for me and who I am… This world in Noth A. we are told we have to go to school, then university and get a degree in something…. and do something “worth while” with your life “be somebody” … and to who’s eye’s are we going to be this somebody… all this go to school an becoming some one business is soo artificial. I believe before we try to fulfill other expectations.... one of the most amazing beautiful things we can do is become connected with who YOU are as your self.. to find your self.. and to find a connection with community. allso not to find your self as a “hippy” to others eye’s P.s. Being a virgin has NOTHING to do with anything....
The Dead are rather good though; but then, there are much better things to listen to as well. Ahh, Donovan...Pink Floyd...Jefferson Airplane...
This is one of the few things in your post I agree with you about, the Young Hippies forum does seem to be abundant with brainless morons. All you have to do is look at some of the thread titles and you realize it's full of idiots. Anyways...I also agree that people who just sit around and smoke weed, and do nothing else, as far as going to college to prepare for a job, or actually getting a job, should get off their lazy asses and get to work.
NONONO!!! Believe me, Borut is one of the greatest person you'd like to meet. A very good friend, and far from arrogant! He's a sweety! I've already posted my opinion on the subject, and I must agree with what Chuck said......
