    Do you really consider yourself a hippie? What was it about hippies that you like? Are you on these forums for hippie brotherhood and discussion, or just to look at pictures of naked chicks?

    i personally like the discussion and 'friendships'. i dont label myself as anything, but i certainly enjoy some stereotypically hippy things.

    Wow, that's an incredibly depressing way of looking at it, Dope.

    Well I used to think I was a hippy (though God knows why) about four years ago. That's why I signed up in the first place.

    Have long grown out of all that label stuff. Though still hang out here, for the company, and maybe out of habit.

    Don't know or care what hippys like, so won't comment on that.

    Just an over age in grade freak myself - never missed a chance to look at a woman - but mostly here to read what folks have to say and to put in my two cents worth if it seems to be appropriate

    I prefer not to really label myself, as I enjoy changing my mind on things and not conforming to a sterotypical idea. I really love the discussions on this board though. So I wouldn't consider myself a hippie, though I do have much in common with the people on this board.

    Interesting subjects are discussed on these forums sometimes. That's what keeps me coming back.

    Yeah i like the kaleidascope of people here... lots of love and beauty comes along from the people here... sometimes they are naked... and thats good...

    I guess im kind of liek the others in saying i dont label myself, i think i might have come here with the thought of the freedom that hippiedom can bring along.. and have expanded out... i jsut remember i googled when i was on mushrooms.. three summers ago.. "I want to know the truth!" and ended up here:) and the beatles blew my mind into the hippy ways... though when i was a kid, i was kind of a natural.. meditated and stuff:p so all in all, im a hippy and naked girls make me happy

    as i first began getting into hippie culture i started to conform to it and my actions would be sort of decided by "what would a hippie do/say?". iv long since left the "conforming to noncomformity" phase and now just live my life however i want to. so i guess im more of a hippie now than back when it was an effort.

    I wouldn't say I was a hippie but rather a peacemaker as it defines me better since I try to live my life through a peaceful means.As for why I keep coming back to this forum i'd have to say because theres usually alot of interesting stuff to talk about and I can usually relate to alot of people on here.

    I consider myself as rather dull and unenlightened, but forever trying to become a better person. I will admit that I have an interest in the counter-culture of the 1960's, and indeed that I am often called a hippie.

    The reason I'm here on the forums is to make friends with anyone on a similar wavelength; if I just wanted to see naked chicks, I'm sure there are far better sites on the net than this.

    Trying to attain the unattainable. Trying to reach ultimate happiness and well being and trying to make peace with my surroundings and myself. And trying to help others do the same. Trying to be true to myself and others.

    I think that claiming that you are one certain thing leaves yourself open for a lot of critical judgement just because you may or may not do everything the typical sterotype may do.

    I come here for enjoyment mainly, but another factor for my visitation to this website stems from having a lot of the same feelings about certain subjects such as child rearing, politics, environmental issues, living life simply, loving one another, peace, harmony and so forth.

    Anyway, I'm just a child from a true 60's flowerchild who was in turn passed down a love and respect for the peaceful kind of life. :)

    well, i dont go around saying i am a hippy but when someone calls me one i dont object. I like the style of the cloths and music and i agree with many of the hippies views. I guess some may call me a hippy and other would say i was similar to one.

    I've been called a hippie all my life before I even knew what one was, but now that I know and understand the actually culture of being a hippie I consider my self a hippie 100%.

    i like to think of myself, as myself (if that makes any sense.) I've been called a hippie, I dress the way a hippie would, I listen to hippie music, i believe in a lot of things that a hippie may believe in but who says that; that makes me one? There are no "groups" of people, we are all equal in the end, so what difference does it make what we are called?
    just a thought i suppose.
