I couldn't agree more sister! People these days don't appreciate as much as people back then did...and i'd give anything to go back to the 60's, much like you...I wake up thinking about it EVERY DAY. But, it's our job as the hippies of today to make the world a better place...and if we all do a little, when put together as a whole we'll have a better place to live...just like the hippies of the 60's generation did.
Yeah, Stand up for what you believe in. There is something amazingly brave about doing that. It brings honor to yourself and to those with you. Be a warrior for peace, with your strongest wepon ....."your mind". "a thosand mile journey begins with one step"
The only way we got a demonstration with 4000 people in our town was when the Bavarian government changed their whole school politics. And most of the people where only there because they don't want to go to school whole day long. When there was a demonstration against Iraq, probably 300 people came. And I think it's not only the German youth, it's the youth in all industrial countries who doesn't care about their world. I'm a bit more pessimistic concerning a new movement. But if one comes, I'll be the first one to join (I hope the music will become better by then, I don't want to hear Love-and-Peace-Hiphop or some kind of a Gangsta-Woodstock )
How does it feel to be One of the beautiful people Tuned to a natural E happy to be that way Now that you've found another key What are you going to play . . .
Oh god, gangsta-woodstock, oh god HIPHOP!! I seriously can't think of any reason why ppl would listen to that stuff, hip hop in general! I don't know about the US cause ppl I talk to here are mostly Band and Orchestra nerds who mainly listen to classic/music w/style (60s/70s!), jazz...but most of the ppl in DE don't even know what the "musicians" are rapping about! They don't know that they say who they wanna kill and who they killed already and who they wanna fuck and who they fucked already...I think a lot of ppl are just so "deaf and blind" by the mass of information we get everyday that they just sit down and don't listen actively, to anything, don't think about it! Yeahm the school politics....:-( I was gone by that time, but I remember that at our city, the demonstration was not even during school, it was in the afternoon! Oh well, enough of that! I agree w/you about the youth who doesn't care! Like I said above, I think they just do what they are told and don't think about it! I think you're right too w/what you say about the new movement. I'm usually to optimistic about stuff and dream too much...but what would the world be w/out dreams?
Flowerchild, I think we have the same opinion, but I think the problem is not only a German one, it's a problem of the whole youth... Wird Zeit dass wir mal n bischen per ICQ labern Wann biste denn normalerweise online? Ich hab dich ja glaubich schon in meiner Contactlist....
LOL! Ach du bist das....das Problem ist halt dass ich nie hier bin wenn es in Deutschland eine einigermassen menschliche Zeit ist! Aber knapp 4 Wochen noch, dann bin ich wieder daheim! Mit den Problemen der ganzen Welt und so...ich bin da eher vorsichtig den Rest der Welt zu beurteilen da sich jemand vielleicht angegriffen fuehlen koennte, deswegen rede ich nur schlecht ueber die deutsche Jugend da ich ja selbst Teil davon bin!
Ich pendel nicht wirklich zwischen USA und D, ich bin nur hier gerade in der Schule. Wo ich herkomm? Aus Wuerzburg...wenn dir das was sagt? ca. 100km noerdlich von Frankfurt! Und du?
Würzburg sagt mir als Aschaffenburger in der Tat was Du wohnst dann ja quasi in der Nachbarschaft Warum gehst du in den USA in die Schule? P.S.: Würzburg liegt 120km ÖSTLICH von Frankfurt *g
HOw did the conversation turn to yuppies? Didn't the girl just make a mistake? Suddenly it's this whole issue. NO it's not yuppie it's yippie, but why get all upset over it?
Oh du bist aus Aschaffenburg, awesome! Naja, Nachbarschaft...sind trotzdem noch 80km! Warum ich in den US zur Schule gehe...hmm, weg von daheim, andere Kultur erleben, Englisch aufbessern, ...das uebliche halt. Ich bin aber schon froh wieder heim zu kommen! Gehst du noch zur Schule?? P.S.: Wuerzburg liegt 120km NORDoestlich von Frankfurt
Hey, versuch nicht gegen meine Erdkundekenntnisse anzukommen, da versagt sogar mein diezbezüglicher Lehrer Nach Würzburg sinds von unserer Ortsmitte aus laut Schild 64km, und Würzburg liegt definitiv östlich mit leichtem Südtouch, garantiert, wenn ich ne Karte find zeig ich dirs
I wasn't at Woodstock in 69. I was 7 months pregnant at home in Iowa back then. But I was at Woodstock in 99. And no, I don't mean that make believe thing at the army base. I was at Yasgar's farm in Bethal, New York. It was a truely beautiful day. A lot of the same people were there that were there in 69. And they had their kids on stage with them. It was so cool to see Arlo Guthrie with Sarah and her brother. And Melanie with her children. And Richie Havens with his kids. Country Joe was there with his kids too. It was an awesome site to see. I'm glad I was there. At least I can remember it. I'm not sure I would have remembered Woodstock had I been there in 69. Kthi
I think I did as well. I have all these weird visions, like "have I been here before?" ... I was at Ryerson University, and I was having de ja vu of some sort. My mom had told me a bunch of stuff about the 60's and 70's. I would love to have lived in those times.
yuppies are what became of most Hippies. They threw off their tie-dyes and got 3 piece suits and jobs.
