say i think what sunshine is doing is a great idea and im all for it, theres no reason to pitch a bitch really i mean personaly ive been called hippy, tree hugger, long hair, flower child..etc dozens of times and its not something to take as in insult you are what you are and the most important thing of all is giving us the freedom to do what we feel. keep on truckin*** *Peace*
Further thanx! To clear some things up: No my given name isnt Jesus Karma Quinn, of course not. I just said thats what i go by, like The Artist Formally Known as Prince. "all the cool kids are doin it" is a rather obvious and sarcastic peer pressure joke. As to having a real life and a real cause, I do, but this is just an online disscussion. I do lead a real life, and volenteer often. I suport real causes when i can, through work or finance. Ive gone broke before giving to charity, but never buying drugs or other selfish things. i dont mean to sound full of my self, but people were asking. so, bobbyellis, i dont see my self as "phoney", and im not sure where you got the impression. Im not going to debate you privately, if you dont want to declare hippiedom, then dont. Im not trying to make enimies, you are trying to be rude, and it would be great if you decide to "maybe help". I guess your just a tough sell. Nathan - sorry you dont get it. I'll try to explain: This is a place to declare without shame that you are a hippy and to disscuss the idea. It is also a place to bitch about lables if you hate that sort of thing, although it wasnt intened to be. but i welcome different opinions(if not the numerous personal insults im getting on a free speech site for my opinion). I would encourage someone to make a thread about what a horrible thing it is to say your a hippie so these folks have someplace to go. anyhow, keep signing hippies! much love to those who did and those who said kind things. RIGHT ON!
Ok, Sunshine,...as was stated before,...WHAT MOVEMENT are you trying to start????? You made a campain speech in your post about people joining you. Joining you for what? and WHY? Now you talk about volunteer work or time donations that you have made,....ok?,...so what is the point of that? Of course you won't debate me in private,....you have no legs to stand on! And again,....I don't mean to be rude but,...like I said don't make enemies in a cause, make friends first and the rest will follow with you.
look man i dont see why this gotta go on and on, like opinion's ar elike buttholes everyone has one and they all stink, so just like dont get so worked up over this and let sunshine and myself and whoever else do what makes us happy u know. u do ur thing will do ours and can still sit down and burn a big scooby together in peace dispite our diffrences of the word or label "hippy" Peace brothers
bobbyellis, i keep trying with you! The movment is called : Hippie Pride The idea is to: sign this thread if you are a hippie and proud. To join: just sign. sorry, no free t-shirt as of yet. I told you about my service work because you said to "get a real cause". The reason i havent debated you in privte is becase all the info's here and i dont have the time. but maybe i will soon. i dont want enemies, but you seem to want to be one. You say you dont want to sound rude, but you do. Now i dont want to sound rude either, but this probably will: unless youre going to say something new, or even something intelligent, leave us alone. You said youre no hippy so none of this partains to you anyway. everyone else: you guys rock. tell your hip friends on the site to take a look here pEaCE BrOtHAS aNd sIsTas
Hippy, was, am, will be. Proud and Free. But I have found, like ex-smokers, ex-hippies are the loudest objectors. All this, individuality is " It ", is a load of old B******S, a load of egotistical, self important hogwash. How important some of us need to feel. The big I AM.
in my opinion, hippie is not a stereotype, its a lifestyle-like 'gay' or 'christian' and so on. besides, if some people see it as a lable, at least its a lable to be proud of! its a lable synonomous with love and peace and accepting people for who they are regardless of age, race, color, shape, or whatever. people are going to lable you no matter what, and if they choose to lable me, i hope it says 'hippie' in big bold letters! long live the hippies!
True words, all so very true! hip is a lifestyle, a movement, a way. it is so much more than image or lable. im glad that its OK again to be a hippy on this site with out a personal attack. y'all made my day - - - Peace! (and keep signing!)
You know what?? I'm not afraid to say that I'm a hippie.. Actually, I'm proud.. I saw that someone said that it just was a fashion from the 60's.. well, I think you're wrong! It's not just a fashion, it's a group of people, who decires peace, and freedom, and that's not afraid of beeing themselves, and much more.. So, just to brag, I am a hippie! And I'm proud of it! Love and happiness!
