do you agree with everything hippies believe in?

i don't agree with the part about spitting on the soldiers coming home from vietnam

 

Reading through the hippie handbook..it seems that persoanl prejudices and moronic behaviour is an accepted practice within the hippie movement.. I think such idiocy happens in many 'groups' .. individuals are mean spirited and rude , stick a peace emblem on and they become self rightious mean spirited rude hippies.

 

"hippies" dont collectively agree with one thing or another, just as any other group of ppl clumped together there are different ppl within the group and they all have their own beliefs,,,, tis sorta stereotyping it all as a whole thing n not as individual beings,,,,,

tis sorta like sayin all hippies eat tofu n are vegan,,,,,,, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

umm, no, I'm not a hippie. I've never tried pot, don't plan to. I've been in protests, but not lately. There is no broad, overwhelming hippie doctrine anyways.

 

hippies hate bathing.

 

The last post was at 4:20.

 

thats cuz it was crummy rummy n tis always 4:20 in his world.... damned hippie

 

i beleive hippies believe many things
i don't beleive i believe everything anyone else beleives

i beleive hipies beleive in being true to themselves
being true to myself i may not beleive what other hippies believe

i beleive i misspelled beleive at least 1/2 the times i said beileve

 

I agree with princaples of tolerence and understanding,The reverence for the natural world, and that pacifisim is the mark of an evolved being,( although I find myself having a hard time living up to that one whenever someone threatens me or mine. )
the more someone embodies these beleifs the more hippy like i view them, and the more respect i feel for them. there personal veiws beyond that i find to be irrelevent, and I am never swayed by how deep they try to present themselves or how confusing there speech patterns are

 

lol, i before e accept after c, or about half the times its used it seems

 

Yes Eagle, but your thoughts are good.

 

What hippies?

 

Molly,


Sweet child, in "your wonderful innocence", you ask the most profound questions. I especially liked your question in the thread you initiated entilted "Hitler was a hippy". Brilliant, "priceless"; and I find that these questions, besides generating important and productive semantic banter characteristic of the hipster(1), are especially important, I believe, because they make us question group-think and pack mentality; strengthing the understandings about objective internally known truths and external symbols.

You are a wonderful and very bright child, and I will make sure to "stay on the subject" so that the moderator is not contacted. And to do so I think we should first go to Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary(R). Entering the definition of hippie, or hippy, and presto:

Main Entry: hip·pie
Variant(s): or hip·py /'hi-pE/
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural hippies
Etymology: 4hip + -ie
: a usually young person who rejects the mores of established society (as by dressing unconventionally or favoring communal living) and advocates a nonviolent ethic; broadly : a long-haired unconventionally dressed young person
- hip·pie·dom /-pE-d&m/ noun
- hip·pie·ness or hip·pi·ness /-pE-n&s/ noun

Assuming that intentionally spitting on anyone in a manner designed to convey intense displeasure(2) is often a violent act; then I would think that spittng on a soldier, or anyone, who has likely experienced great trauma amounts to act of violence; this appears to be in contradiction to the 'narrow definition' of hippie (also spelled "hippy") as shown above. And in fact there are rulings in courts around the world where if someone or a group know of a particular vunerability of another person and that someone or group acts to exploit that vunerability so as to do harm to that person, not withstanding the "initial appearance" of that exploit, that someone or group has been found guilty assualt.

Molly, darling, my sweet insightful hippie child, you are wonderful because you indirectly let us know that words are tools that are only as good as the intentions and actions behind these words. And in reference to the other thread that is mentioned above, I believe that Mr. Hitler fails to meet Merriam-Websters 'narrow' and 'broad' defintion of hippie (also spelled "hippy").

Yours Truly,
23

I love reading people talk down to Molly.

 

Not all hippies just sit around and smoke pot, I've known quite a few straight hippies.

 

that was something that happened ... not HIPPIES or HIPPY

lets all please stop all these ugly rationalitys

this web site is a grate place, but I've seen this is an obstacle here as it is today in this world ... HIPPY is a word!

people on here talk about revolution and hippies and wanting to be and have & its like ... this nasty WAIT, one we've been in for a quite a few minutes now, can only be ended by people looking at themselves and their minds ... and I DO NOT MEAN LOOKING AT YOUR EGO ... what Im speaking of isnt (but is) something that everyone is capable of today ... and how can you not? know yourself that is? ? ? because of folks' MYNDS.

When you TRY to think and you think these rational ego thoughts you're not doing anything for anything . Stop and feel your thoughts and your existance ... you'll wake up to what it all is and you'll began to be lead and inspired ... you'll begin to BE and you'll feel and experience the power always ... then you ARE ... but not till many do this and unite will the dreams I keep seeing on this website and in people around me happen.

and like something Yusuf sees ... these beautiful, experienced beings who KNOW ... the people so many people are trying so hard to figure out and be ... aren't so farr from you ... and YOU is YOU ... if you're thinking not YOU right now ... it'd be best to stop

no worries ... the dreams not so far ... we'll dance right in, just admit and let everything past just die ... and you'll be next please do smile ... sure would feel better for us all

VIBES OF BEAUTY

i say what I say in my own floating ways ... perhaps some others say it for me ... many of the latter responses feel VERY good to read

I heard you had to sign a bunch of papers before they let you be a hippie.

And they give you a drug test......they have to find at least 3 kinds in your system or you fail....

 

LightWindsAllAround,


It appears to me that you are making important observations and that your heart is in a good place, but often change advances in unusual, mysterious, ways. I also sense from your posts in this thread that you have done a lot of thinking about human nature. Welcome to the Forums.


Peace,

yes, I agree with you and that's why I don't think its right to spit on soldiers. I think the reasons why some people did that was they thought their actions would prevent further bloodshed by sending out a message what a horrible act war was by shameing these soldiers in this way.

The process of bringing shame and fear and guilt tripping has been the modus operendi for thousands of years to controlling people and so hippies (or those as you say who didn't fully understand the underpinnings of love and expansion of which they themselves wanted to recreate the world in) merely responded with the psychological processes that they themselves were a victim of and conditioned by
