ok excluding the 3 posts by 18 year olds, you guys are just fucking children...i dont see what your bitching about....your parents clothe you and feed you....stop bitching....your lives arent that terrible that you need to worry about politics n shit...the war will be over by the time we are old enough to join the service and i dont see wtf everyone is talkin about...no way is the draft coming back. you guys who bitch are almost as low as the emo cutters who live in a big house and get new clothes every weekend(99% of all cutters)
Everyone should be pay attention to politics. Heh, don't bet on that... and don't bet on Iraq being the US's last stop.
id bet on it any day buddy, Iran and north korea dont want thier innocent and guilty dying in massive numbers
oh it does ... take the cold war .. the demise of the berlin wall.. saddam hussein out of iraq.. non proliferation .. sure the world is still fucked up, but it does change.
No through international relations and deplomacy and a bit of revolution i suppose..not by people thousands of miles away but people in the middle of it all... If you wish to see the world in a negative spin fine...
It is not.. being a realist is seeing the world in all its negatives and positives..accepting things that don't hold to your way of thinking and accepting changes that happen around you.
You know, you're right, a lot of change is done through the government relations. But, if you become part of that and work for change, is that not revolution?
Yeah..thats the kind of revolution i like .. Sitting in the UN for 3 months bashing out treaties etc is not the 'revolution' i think most people in this thread are talking about realy, do yo ? .Thats being part of a system however horrid you may think it is.. Vast amounts of work go on by lets say the British goverment, with there so called 'enemy' that would make some people unhappy..unfortunatly thats the way it is.. At the end of the day even the soviets were sick and tired of it all and realy did want normal relations ...
Say G.W.B starts a dratft thats a really good excese to stop being lazy.If he ever dose then go to Washington DC(Fly,Drive,walk ect) and do what hippies do best stay in one place for a long time holding sings up.
hahaha... I promise I'll take you this summer if he comes this way... I just have to wait a bit till bands finally get their tour dates out.
hi there very true to point to certain opinions about hippies as such, who are just following a dress trend im here to stay as a so called hippy i am a socialist member and run a branch in cambs uk we are peaceful activists who helped arrange the anti war march this year and last with the anti war members,here and around the world..... we have the g8 summit to attend in scotland this summer hopefully we can show the world its time for change..... and we fight for freedom and an end to capitalists rule................. i see lots of young people being hippies and remember my teen years and the activity i was in the poll tax march the anti bnp march etc...........animal rights activity in shark a organisation..... being a hippy is not just something to look to the 60s for long before christ began his talks of loving the human equal people have talked and taken action to try to change this world for profit..... ie this war in iraq,,, things are being done but it takes alot to change a system not just the government but everything in this world is run for and by capitalists who look for profit in any sitsuation so yes people are doing something but only time will tell. and if we change the capitalists view we have to be open to differneces on this planet...... open to change which scares many they fear this because they have to pay bills... and as you should know hippies get bad press ie some of the socialists members who were demonstrating about the pension problem here in uk got arrested because they were anti social not true.. its part of the cover up about reality whats really happpening in these so called free worlds.. class divide wars poor schooling lack of good health care dental places food compaines fast food computers housing bills on and on in a world of imperialistic FAT CATS...... etc........ lovenpeace from saff
Yay i'd be ready to fight for sometin' but i am only an other hippie living off at its parents home ... If we continue like that they might say in the history books that their were a second hippie generation who did nothing except doubting of herself ...
in response to joint man, think so long as we are all part of this world i dont give a fuck how old u are so long as u know where u stand and are willing to educate yourself in the area u have all rights to bitch. also shure we may not be able to fight in large numbers(especialy at this age) but we can educate others and still voice our oppinions.
