just curious....how many of you all have even thought about this after you got off the computer? how many have changed your lifestyle in any way? how many have educated yourselfs about the ideas your expressing here? because thats what needs to happen to make your words more than hippy babble. iv heard this converstion so many times and seen how rare it is that anyone ever does anything more than talk
Your vigor is very refreshing, friend, but step back and look at the situation objectively. You're in a huge hippy forum posting essentially the same "Let's start a revolution" thread that most here have seen hundreds of times before. None of those prior attempts got anything of merit going, and this leaves you with a hefty hill to climb. Also, and this is not an insult, your posts are devoid of much grammatical finery. It makes those reading it far more likely to assume you're just 'some nut' and ignore you. You suggest we do more than talk, and that is fine but also vague. If you want to inspire any large group of people, especially in a community such as this, you need to put together a cohesive and detailed plan. You need to tell us all just what sort of revolution you are trying to mount, just how you want to mount it, and just what you want to achieve. Until then, I'm afraid you won't be taken very seriously nomatter how full of vigor you are. Take your own advice.
SWEET IDEA DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fucking, we could like, all run on the streets in like, hip clothes and shit and yell REVOLUTION! REVOLUTION! Then we could like get a bunch of people to follow us and we'll all walk westward to like Cali (like in "Forest Gump") Once we get to Cali we could like start a huge fucking commune of tens of thousands and promote peace and love and shit. Then we could withdraw from America and form our own country called HIPPYLAND with NO ARMIES, NO LAWS and NO PIGS! It will be the best damn country for the whole five minutes before the internal anarchists take over violently, or whoever gets there first, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, or Kim Jong-il takes over and rapes all our women and then kills everyone!
Hey Skeebop, You may never even experience that whole five minutes if you tell yourself it won't work or it can't happen before you even try it. You don't have to do what someone else suggests, but do whatever you can. How's fist fighting fit your ticket? Is that more along your lines? Does that appeal to you? Play what ever part you can even if it's just sticking your tongue out at a police agent or flipping one the bird. Decide what's best for you and don't do it unless you think it's worth it.
Dude, if people werer enlightened enough to share, and to love each other, anarchy would easily work. MAybe the popular faggotry that hippies should move off to some distant hippies-only country isnt far off.
My revolution is one of the mind and the world. I try to take care of myself and set a good example. Try. And there are wackos out there. I'm a wacko too so i understand them. I want to help them. We are the lazy generation because the past generations have yet to get it right. Obviously. Look around yourselves. Do you see people loving eachother??? I want to have a child someday but i refuse to bring it into a world of sickos. I don't feel safe and until i do - I refuse to pass that fear along to the next generation. The world is not a dafe place. And it SHOULD be. We peaceful people should not be afraid to leave our houses. So if anyone needs to get anything of their minds that they think is evil - Express it before it currupts you. A wise wise wise man is so worried for his child because of all the suffering he sees, so instead of wanting any pain inflicted on is child he would rather have it brought upon himslef. What a GREAT example. Parents just need to learn to speak the language of their children. Protect the impressionable youth! Protect your children!!! I follow this example. I AM NOT AFRAID TO DIE IF IT MAY PROTECT THE FUTURE. IF ANYONE OUT THERE WANTS TO FUCK WITH SOMEBODY - FUCK WITH ME - BUT LEAVE THE PEOPLE WHO NEED TIME TO THINK ALONE AT NIGHT ALONE! WHEREVER THEY MAY WANDER! I do not fear or hate anyone who is themselves. But everyone needs to take a look at themselves and ask themselves if what they are doing is right or wrong. "Every living creature knows the differnce between right and wrong." -Kpax I believe in this. And I HAVE FAITH IN HUMANITY. Revolution begins in the hearts and the minds of the people right? Isn't this common sense? If it takes getting drunk to be honest and open then you need to sit back and think about what it is you're numbing. Otherwise it will currupt you. But decide for yourselves if this is the revolution for you.
Some people actually do medicate themselves with illegal substances. It helps them relax and forget about all their pain and the pain they see in the world. But instead of numbing how dissapointed we are why not make the world less painful?
