Am I disgrace for the Irish race? What does it mean?, first of all I am not Irish, I am Italian, but it does not mean nothing because I go over the race barrier (do you?) Then I am sorry but if you don’t want to help me is fair enough but I don’t understand how you can define me as a disgrace! Let me be man!!!
man, ok so u wannah b accademic an see it frum afar. how borrin. better smear it on duh shinny window uv yoh bank, "drop out, get hip, be me"
Anyway, I'd email ya but it seems like most of the questions could only be properly answered by people alive in the 60's... which must be why it's in Old Hippies, which I only just noticed...
Come on Guys, I want to go over the stereotypes of the pot head, there was something more, if I don’t mistake the hippie movement evolved from the Bit Generation, there was plenty of culture there, to be against the system you need to be literate, you have to know, you have to be articulate in your answer: if you are confuse you depend, if you understand you are dangerous!!! That’s fight the system, understand, understand their propaganda, understand that their happy faces are full of scum. That what I believe was and is being a hippie, but trough your answer you are destroying my dream!!!
