LOL~*~**~*~* thats why I usually resond to someone asking me if I'm a hippie by asking them what a hippie is.I personally don't need a label and when I do use "Human Be-ing" I think you missed the point. Its not necessarily a bypass to giving them advice, its more like not wanting to answer the same few questions overandoverandoverandoverandoverandover........ I've been on hipforums and in hippychat for 5 or 6 years and if I had just one dollar for all the times the same questions got asked I could take off work for a year in comfort. The chatroom even has a bot -HipBot- Please don't ask things like 'Who here is a hippy!?' and ASL, if you wish to get to know someone have a convo with them, because of the sheer numbers that come in and ask the same stuff and its mostly for homework. The biggest volumes are the fall and the spring, when school starts and a month before it ends and when I've picked their brains a bit I inevitably find out its for school. Its not that people here aren't willing to help but why keep answering the same things over and over in numerous threads when one thread devoted to those questions and deals with those issues, and that thread would stay at the top of the forum for the kids that are new and wanna ask the same question that just got asked a week or two ago. One thread devoted to those burning questions and that stays on the top of the pile sounds good to me.
