I was born in the wrong age.

idk, but if there is we need to find it cuz idk about anyone else but i dont fit in the "traditional" kids these days

 

I agree!! Lets start a Revolution!

 

LET'S START A REVOLUTION!!!

 

What makes you think you'd do any better in a different time period? Lets not look through different time periods with rose colored glasses. Each period has trials and tribulations and extremely negative aspects. Perhaps you would struggle even more 40 or 50 or 100 years ago. Whenever I hear "I was not born in the right age" it usually coincides with certain naivety.

Some of you kids don't fully grasp this or consider just how fucked up the 60s or 70s were in many ways.

But that is besides the point, being detached from this age in favor for another because you are failing in this age is not the correct attitude. Improve your lot and change yourself for the better in this age, instead of wishing you could be born in some other time.

 

regression sounds kinda anti-hippie. and its pretty much the antonym to revolution

 

i was born in the wrong age too. i should have been born when women ruled the world dammit! :tongue:

 

What kind of revolution are those people here talking about! An industrial one?

 

where we meetin for the revolution :cheers2:

 

Past the stars in fields of ancient void
Through the shields of darkness where they find
Love upon a land, a world unknown
Where the sons of freedom make their home

:cheers2:

 

can you send me the directions from mapquest lol >.<

 

Go to your nearest downtown area.
Make friends with the nut on the street corner playing didgeridoo
Then realize that he's not a nut and by some Acid from him.
Drop it.
Then you'll be there.

 

kk ima go to vegas next weekend, so ill meet ya then?

 

Hate to break it to you kids, but if you went back to 66 you'd probably be shipped off to Vietnam if you're a guy, and stuck in traditional feminine roles if you're a girl. Even in hippie communes the women were usually in the kitchen cooking or having babies. Stop idealizing the 60s and try to make your world that you're living in right now a better place!
Plus, if you were born in the 50's (in order to be of age during the 60's and 70's) you wouldn't have those decades to look back on with nostalgia, so who knows how you would turn out?
Sorry for the rant. I consider myself a hippie but wouldn't idealize the past. It wasn't all peace and happiness.

 

Yes, that's true.

But, it was mostly happiness.. Because, you could see the Beatles, Doors and Stones live for about five bucks.

Then watch the first moon landing, and less then a month later attend a free three day concert that ended with Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner.

 

"I was born in the wrong age"


I hear yeah buddy. I've been thinking this for years

i hope id be a girl. i love cooking, having babys, i wouldnt know prob not as fun....but the events leading upto the baby could make up for it, plus then after the pain of child birth, i get to raise a baby ^.^

as for being a guy...yeah that would probly suck....

 

and we know how we'll turn out now?

 

Things were very different then, people did not accept the "lifestyle" very well.

When I was a kid if you went too long without a haircut people would tell you
"when are you going to get a haircut!!?"
But people were more loving them, I miss those day too.

Peace

no...but I think a lot of people (esp. younger kids) "become" hippies out of a sense of nostalgia for the past, so those same people living in the 60's wouldn't have that era to look back on and idealize.

 

Maybe not at the time, but they are constantly looking back on it now a days and idealizing it, and missing it because it was something to remember and love. They a had more freedom in a sense: better music scenes, a common respect for one another, and something to fight for. So if us KIDS feel the same respect for how things used to be and just happen to idealize it as well, i see no harm in that. It doesn't mean we are not living our lives today, we just appreciate the past, the good & the bad.
