What have you done to earn your 'Hippie' Badge?

people sometimes call me fag. how did i earn that?

 

I've been called everything from pervert to saint right here in these forums. The evidence is in. I am all these things to all these people at those times, but over all I am none in particular. Faggot.

 

I dunno but I want to throw it away. Well, I do know, I have too much in common with the stereotype to be dissasociated with hippies for some people. And after all, those things did draw me to this forum.
I agree a part of the hippie movement (in the sixties, I don't really see an organized one now) have helped improving todays society back in their heyday. To me personally there's no neccessity for hippies nowadays, since the people I see working on a better earth are generally no hippies.

 

People that cling to lables are looking for acceptance from others to compensatefor something they think they lack. even repudiation of the lable from another is an acceptace that you are part of something other than the confines of your own physical dimensions. I am a fire truck.

 

I forgot about the time I took 4 hits of LSD during a Rainbow Gathering outside Taos New Mexico.

I walked on water and experienced moments of enlightenment. Met friends I will never see again. Changed lives and altered my direction in life.

Okay then there was the time I saved the world but that's not really hippie. It was more of a personal favor..but that is not important.

So I suppose someone could call me a hippie. But I do not consider myself one.

I am an asshole but a really cool one.

I can kinda see the point of the OP. To many of the little teeny boppers peace signs on everything and hippieness are just fashion statements. They aren't for peace, or the environment, or improving the world, or human rights, or enlightenment, or breaking boundaries or anything just looking cool for the other little teeny boppers. Which is of course a phase most go through but doesn't really mean they are hippies like ones who fought for change and believed in something.

Personally, I haven't been shot at or pepper sprayed, or even busted, but hey nobody is perfect;-)

Played with guns on acid, ultimate HST trip, epic hippie win.

 

assholes are almost always the coolest of the cool. difficult, impossible to "handle," but cool.

 

at any rate, my nearly 8 year old is obsessed with peace symbols because she thinks they're pretty and she can draw them. i wouldn't call her a hippy, either.

 

The so-called hippies of today are more about fashion and shock value than they are about making a difference.

And dead musicians.

Mostly not a lifetime dwelling, so I'd say just let them be.

i haven't done much. i wouldn't even consider myself a hippie. i don't think?

 

taken estimated 500 psychedelic trips---sold acid pot mushrooms mescaline--and other not so nice drugs--im not a hippie myself but a biker but i knew many true hippies- ---im 48 so i knew real counter culture hippies-----very trippy and and interesting and strange--also some evil shit was also going down as well

 

i saved a baby humminbird that fell into my boisenberry bush, we brought him inside at night so predators wouldnt munch him, and put him in a shoe box witha perch on it. we fed him sugar water and choppd up slugs at night with a syringe/turkey baster. and let him outside during the day while his mom came back to feed him.. he survived =)

 

awesome for you Satch!!!!!!!!!!
big hippie hero hugs!
