    Cause a lot of the young hippies don't shower or bathe, and smell worse than most of the homeless.

    And I mean, even predecessors of man bathed in rivers.. That's just fucking gross.

    But did the actual flower children start this, or did it happen sometime after?

    I hated it when I was a clerk, cause I had to hide how disgusting they were.

    Now, I talk loudly about how something stinks, and hope they'll get the message.

    It's because being hippy isn't a lifestyle choice anymore, it's a trend.

    It's funny that I've been accused of not showering enough. I have this really funky body chemestry that kills deoderant. The difference between me wearing deoderant and me not wearing deoderant is if I'm wearing deoderant I start to smell funky after 3 hours and if I'm not wearing deoderant I start to smell funky after 2. So the fact of the matter is that I stopped wearing deoderant. Of all of the problems I face on a daily basis my smell is at the bottom of the list of shit I have to worry about. If you are easily offended by your own or others smell stay out of Europe because they generally don't give a shit there. When I lived in Maine I wouldn't shower as much during the winter becaus my hair would freeze.

    Peace Out,

    Actually quite the opposite. The oils from your scalp are your bodys way of conditioning your hair.

    translation: a couple generations ago I never showered daily, everyone told me it was 'the norm' and secretly sniggered behind my back. They told me the close pegs on their noses, it was a fashion statement. I wasn't into all that hippy shit'.

    close, but the actual translation would be "gods help you if you ever find yourself outside of your little utopia where hot running water, soap and deoderant are neither available, or considered a social necessity"

    when ya consider that more than a billion people around the globe dont' have regular access to clean water.. and that another 2.5 billion lack any kinda basic sanitation facilities.... they must live in constant shame of their body odour

    oh no, wait.. they don't live in shame.. they usually die from cholera or dysentry

    think on that next time ya squirt a dollar worth of deoderant in ya armpits
