there is a balance of love and hate, of life and death, of good and evil. flameing has no place and can only stand to disrupt any balance. if you hate something fine but useless flaming has no constructiveness. i would be glad to join the front.
love!!!! i love this forum!!! I love all the people on it!!! I wish that we could all get together for real too. Summer of Love 2 maybe lol
A true 'flamer' is someone who posts for the sole reason of disrupting discussion and incurring negative emotions. Report flamers to the mods and they will take care of it. If someone has an opinion you disagree with or find distasteful, learn to live with it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, by trying to force your opinions on everyone else you show utter disrespect and are no better than a fascist. Diversity makes life interesting. Without diversity we would just be a bunch of ants marching in line. Never seek to remake the world in your own image, to do so is a huge disrespect to others. Love outside of your friends and family is at best an illusion, at worst a scam. When someone I don't know says they love me I know that they are either a fool or a predator. Pacifism is a poor survival strategy. World peace is an unobtainable ideal. Over-indulgence in drugs and sex will only weaken you. By all means enjoy life, but always respect yourself or your life will be destroyed. Do not be afraid to take advantage of what life has to offer. As long as you are not destructive and keep respect for your fellow earthlings there is no reason that you should not seek to make the best life for yourself that you can. Ditch the peace and love bullshit. It will never accomplish anything except to make you weak and gullible. Love your friends and family, and respect everyone else. Above all respect yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by making yourself stronger. Look out for your own self interest but understand that respecting others is always in your best interest. And do not be afraid of a little adversity. When you run from adversity you are made weaker, when you face it you are made stronger. Do not isolate yourself and do not lie to yourself. I'm just trying to spread a little of my own (what I like to think of as)wisdom because every strong and respectful soul in the world makes the world a better place for me and the people I really do love. I don't love you. I don't even know you. But I do respect you whether you recognise it or not.
Well, if you ask me, trust is a major part of true love. If you can't trust someone how can you love them? Love isn't just some word to throw around. Love means something serious, when you misuse the word you lose track of what love really is. Lets say you go around slinging the word love everywhere, you say that you love everyone, even criminals, psychopaths, George Bush, etcetera. Now, when you tell your mother or your girlfriend or your children that you love them, and they have seen you throw the word at everyone, it has little meaning to them. They think "Oh great, he loves me, just like he loves the plumber. I must not be very special to him."
hehe.. got a point there dude But I think it's mostly about the way you say it.. like.. when a friend of mine asks me over for dinner and has chocolate cake as desert I'll say "ahhh.. I love you!!"... and I'll say 'I love you' to my bf that same evening probably but in a very different tone of voice.. trust me.. the intonation and atmosphere is surely different! Thereby, my friends know that I'm very open and all and that enough room in my heart for a lot of people.. they aren't threatend by that or anything. But you're right.. if you say 'I love you' on every single occasion the words start sounding hollow.. and the more you say it, the more difficult it is to say it with a deep intention I think. Hard to explain, but you know what I mean
To say you must first trust to love is to set-up an existance where love can not be created... take it to the limit -- assume you are in a place where no one knows anyone. there by your set-up no trust, no love. sounds like fun. no egg no chicken no egg no love no love. The mindset of a person that lives as though love is a scarce and limited resouce will live a live that feels love is scarce. yea i know you love lots o people ,and lots o people love you... but your lotsa is a few dozen (at best) dumb hippies like me and the jester start from love. we know it is a boundless pit that we can always pull from. we know that giving love is the only way to have a rich, peaceful and energetic existance. someone in an earlier post called positive energy, and tried to say it is different than love. it is the same and saying otherwise is semantic masterbation. to say that well, i can't love everyone because that means I love my <mom, bf, gf, dog, pussy, whatever> less. that is not true. love has many outlets, and gives rise to many different relationships -- but the energy that fuels those relationships is love. call it what you want... that is what it is, and to hold it back will kill you. i promise. there is only one basic choice in approaching all the moments that make up life: fear or love. set up one or the other as the default in any area of you life and you will see what is actually alive, and what is already dead. -- the profit Beaferreal (beoch!)
yea im in too... skip should really do something about the influx of assholes... the forums are being overrun by racist, homophobic assfucks.... great members have left the forums because of these people... I think we should change the name of the hippie fascist front to something that doesnt have the word fascist in it... banning assholes and racists isnt being fascist, its weeding out the online community. If anyone is willing to make another hippy forum with more active mods, and a better banning system, I would gladly leave HF to join it.
yes mui i definitely agree with u. i really used to enjoy the forums until these last few months... i dont come here much anymore cause i always see somethin very rude or just plain mean, etc. i hate to spread any negativity back so i never respond to any of these threads although maybe i should but i prefer positivity so i just stay away instead. if u happen to find that online community send me a pm. i have it set up so ill kno if i get a pm so let me kno...PEACE to u and everyone, I HAVE LUV FOR U ALL.
I remember back in the days... when HF had the old-style forums... Sure we had people come in that would argue with us about peace/war and stuff... but we didnt have such blatant, disrespectful pricks that we have now... the people back than that we used to fight with at least were giving their opinions in a somewhat polite manner, without resorting to racial slurs, flame wars, and name calling. Now that is all anyone seems to do... instead of being a forum for modern/old hippies to discuss the movement, its been overran by people who joined just to piss everyone off. And it sems like nothing is being done about it.. There isnt a day that goes by where I dont think about leaving hipforums (yet its addictive like crack)... especially lately, posting in HF is the most counter-productive thing anyone can do... its a better idea to go outside, get some fresh air... maybe plant a tree... take a bath... or get a job... instead of arguing with some jackass on the internet (who you really couldnt give less of a fuck about anyway) over your personal beliefs/morals/ideals. IMO, the forums never should have been labled "free speech" forums... free speech should remain relative like it is in the states, free to speak as long as you arent being a jackass. And here I am recommending someone to create new forums... while im a web designer and could do such a thing myself... hmm...
