hippies only post here (your opinion on the nonhippie prescence)

"Gypsy Boots eats nuts and fruits".

 

natural23, that makes as much sense as what Molly posted here last.

 

So if I rub my head and pat my stomach and do some drugs and start loving people.. I'm hippy?

Check.

 

Squawkers good to 'hear' you ! The quote was meant to have meaning in the context of this thread; to me Gypsy was one on the many varied forms of Hippie and he did not take drugs, as we typically refer to them, but instead got 'high' using other substances such as nuts and fruits. I met him years ago at a vegan restaurant and he was prue energy. He was walking by with a 50lb bag of potatos over his shoulder and someone at our table called to him and introduced us. He was very kind and in his own perky way was very quiet.


Peace,

ok, so hippies can do 2 things at once with their hands. But what does that & love & taking drugs got to do with being a hippie?
Why do you keep insisting that only hippies love, hippies take drugs (oh yeah its our nature).
Kingman,AZ is sorta the speed capital in AZ. I see druggies all the time...they sure don't look or act like hippies.

 

Molly is stoking people to think; often with statements that are intentionally designed to be "over the top". And I think that this is good. The Quintessential example being the "Hitler was a hippy" thread:

"Sometimes people say "Hitler was a hippy" and I never how to respond. What should I say?"

Molly is doing a good job of making us question very, very basic concepts, stated in ways that are seemingly naive and yet are, actually, sophisticated - nearly pure sarcasm. I love this sweet bearded* flower child.

I've already seen & even posted a few times on the thread ya linked us to...haven't read the thread about Hitler being a hippy.

 

priceless thread

 

i didn't say hippies can do things with their hands... i am saying they can do one thing with their heart and many things interdimensionally with their mind that has been developed through their usage of psychotrophic agents of which i would not qualify speed as a hippie drug

 

Great art often foresees great science. The human mind, the mind, has available advanced capabilities that science has yet to see or understand.

 

Pop quiz:

Does anyone in here know who the Diggers were? The Merry Pranksters?


No?


They were a bunch of weird-ass folks who LOVED to tweak the straights and squares starting back in the early sixties. They'd do things that are pretty mild by today's standard, but were outrageous and over the top back in the day. They weren't malicious; they just wanted to shake the tree. To some, they were seen as obscene, lawless, hideous, dangerous, dirty, violent, and young (thanks, JA) and were dismissed out of hand. To others... well, they got in under the armor and started an awakening.


Now, with all that in mind, does anyone see what's going on here?


btw I find it equal parts hilarious and quite sad to note that MollyThe Hippy is "accumulating bad karma" on the reputation thingy. Quite an indictment of free thinkers.

 

Thanx, once again someone from here has gotten me to look something new up online...Thanx hipforums for being my homeschool teacher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.


The Merry Pranksters were a circle of people who collected around American novelist Ken Kesey and Beat literature figurehead Neal Cassady.

They are remembered chiefly for travelling across the United States in a psychedelic painted school bus enigmatically labelled "Furthur." The original purpose of the bus trip was to visit the World's Fair in New York City which took place in 1964. The Pranksters were heavy users of marijuana and LSD, and in the process of their journey they are said to have "turned on" many people whom they encountered to these drugs. These festivals were called "Acid Tests", with the catchphrase "Can you pass the acid test?" As such the Merry Pranksters were evangelists of a sort for the drug-related psychedelic and hippie counterculture of the 1960s.

It was at one of these Acid Tests that the psychedelic music band The Grateful Dead formed, and during the early, California-based happenings — the 1960s version of performance art — the Grateful Dead supplied the music; in essence, they were the house band for the moveable party.

The Pranksters' travels continued until 1969, when the bus (without Kesey) made it to the Woodstock rock festival. The original Prankster bus was returned to Kesey's rural home in Oregon. The Smithsonian Institution sought to acquire the bus, which is no longer operable, but Kesey refused to give or sell it to them. In true form, Kesey attempted to prank the venerable Smithsonian by passing off a phony bus. They didn't fall for it.

The Merry Pranksters are the subject of a book by Tom Wolfe called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

 

Since the forums are not segregated (i.e. hip vs non-hip) I have no trouble with nonhippies posting here. Some people are not 100% hippies or 100% nonhippies. I am certainly hip about some things (saving the planet, recycling, helping the helpless) but I can also be very unhip about other things (I don't give a rat's ass about music).

I don't think that too many people who are really hippies go around and pretend that they are not simply because they don't want to be called a hippie.

It's possible that some people just don't like labels.

 

We should start killing all the non hippies so that at least a few of them will convert to hippiness because of fear of death.

Long Live the Hippies!

 

ok so now there are drugs that only hippies can take? or get the most out of? molly your just talking out of your ass. truley sorry.

 

That's the idea.

 

If I didn't already know that you were fake and just being an annoying little person...I would be forced to shoot myself right now.

 

how could you even understand what she was saying?!

 

Well, what I got out of it was that hippies are hippies because they take drugs and rub their stomaches and heads...and love people...or something...
