punks are gonna scream "YIPPIE!"

he was trying to make it look like fun and show how stupid the govt was at the same time. if it didn't look fun, he wouldn't have gotten all the lazy ass hippies to do anything. thats what his maor accomplishment was.. getting them to be more involved. he united hippies and politics.. which was the point of yip. but believe what you want. i don't feel like arguing this to death.

 

I am and was relaxed It was just my opinion.

The whole movement would have been a joke if it wasn't for Abbie. He connected the hippies to the civil rights and anti-war movements....if it wasn't for Abbie and his friends, the hippies would have done nothing but smoke pot all day.....now that would've been a joke for a "movement"...it prolly wouldn't even have been a movement, just another generation of druggy kids who dress funny.

 

errrr. thats all i have to say. please ignore me.

 

Sorry I wanted to let my opinion known....again.

 

you just said exactly the same thing as me tho.

 

um...no i didnt. I see many differences, especially my last line.

 

it's true i bet soulrebel would argue anything to death, teeheehee
and he does it so well too.

 

lol riiiiight....whatever that means.


weeee ive got a follower. anyone want to place bets on how long it will be til i eat him?

 

sorry i'm really bored now the facist has gone, saw this one pop up to the top of the screen and that you were getting into another random offtopic descusion and thaught i would stick around and observe

 

i'm a bit to thin to be eaten anyways so i will put a bet on 2 years today after you have had some time to fatten me up.

 

Fuck abbie hoffman,he wasn't responsible for shit except taking credit for the work of others and selling books.He was a CAPITALIST book selling whore.To say he influenced anybody except a bunch of snot nose wanna be revolutionaries is nonsense.The peaceniks were there first.The civil rights activists were there.They became the hippies.Now excuse me while I smoke a joint and have a movement.What a bunch of crap.Quit reading and go out and have some experiances of your own.

 

If it must stand for something it's youth international peace party...

 

actually, abbie did regular activism before he became a hippie. and most of the money he got from his books was used as bail money for people.

 

Whether or not he became a yuppie, the fact is, he was one of the original hippies, and he did smoke up until his death, man.

 

i feel stoopid, i dont have a fuckin clue wat any of you are on about lol

but i am somewhat intrigued

 

I remember bob weir saying he hadn't done a hit of acid since '67.

 

I don't think I recall that...but I wouldn't doubt it.
They mellowed out and lost a lot of their flare.

 

Hahaha! I got it Gloom.

 

Please Explain It Then!
