the best reason to have long hair is cause its more fun then short hair i havent had a full day untell i get my hair tangled up in somethin
Everybody who has hair has *long* hair (exception: guys with no hair at all - but they are rare). Let's take a person with hair about - let's say half an inch long. So the hair is *long*. Everytime you ask somebody about the length of his hair you ask *how long* is your hair - not *how short* is your hair. So hair is long anyway. Notice: to ask somebody for the length of his hair makes only sense if: a) you don't know the person you ask b) you don't see the person you ask (on the phone or when somebody enters a room without windows and the light is turned off) Otherwise you could be considered a) stupid b) blind c) both Don't hasitate to ask me more about hair, artificial limbs, the Berlin Wall, flowers, dino saurs, Manhattan - or anything you would like to learn. Don't be desponted - ask Rozi Rabito (excoose mi bewtifool english)
Hippies are not the only people who choose to have long hair. The reason behind long haired hippies is a personal choice of the hippy in question but it is perhaps symbollic of their wish to be different and challege what is considered to be the norm. Hopefully one day being different will not be a crime!
Why do hippies have long hair? I was a teenager in the late 60's/early 70's, so I know from personel experience, the answer to this question: It was because it "pissed off" the "industrial-miltary complex" (the MAN), and some parents. Teenage rebellion is a natural phase in human development. If a teenage isn't rebellious, it's just unnatural! How many times in the late60's/early70's, have I heard: "Get a haircut!", from the adults back then. Too much. It was a very popular phrase back then, just like hippies saying "man". Before my time, the "crew cut" was a form of rebellious behavior! In the punk/new wave 80's, you had the most outrageous hairstyles imaginable, like mohawks, checkered hair, spikey hair and all imaginable color dyes! In the RAVE 90's, you had wild styles, like in the 80's, but slightly different. One "rave" style was short-braided hair that stuck upwards, sometimes decorated with beads. Hair colorings could be florescent and or "glow-in-the-dark" stuff. In this new Aquarian century (00's), being bald and tattooed (with body piercings) is rebellious! "What ever turns you on!" - JACOB (Yah-Kob) SMIRNOFF (Comedian) Rebellious hairstyles change, with generations, but the reason is still the same. TEENAGE REBELLION. As Dr. Phil (on his show) pointed out: the teenage brain is just wired different, until it grows into an adult brain. - THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY, or THE SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION? - In 60's SOCIALOGY studies, there is: THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY, or simply stated: THE BRITISH EMPIRE's "vendetta" against the first AMERICAN REVOLUTION! "How DARE THEY REVOLT against our RULE (British)!!!" One aspect was: that it is believed, that the rock bands - the BEATLES (playing the GOOD COPS) and THE ROLLING STONES (playing THE BAD COPS) -were undercover British agents, sent by the mind-control institute TAVISTOCK (in LONDON), to regain the "lost colonies", for the British crown, by using specially-crafted musical tones (early-BEATLE music, i.e. "the 12-ATONAL SYSTEM") on the target: impressionable teenagers. But MOST PROBABLE, the BEATLES (and THE ROLLING STONES) were used and "programmed" (without their direct awareness) to perform their hidden agendas, and not true MI-5, MI-6 (BRITISH INTELLIGENCE) agents! If they were just "used", the mental effects would be mininal, but it they were "chipped" (i.e. "mind-controled"), then they would be classified as: MANCHURIAN CANDIDATES. FRANK SINATRA starred in an old movie, with this title: THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE! Espionage works like this! Still does today! JOHN LENNON "went against the program-agendas", so a MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE was sent out for assasination - guess who? TIMOTHY LEARY was accused of being a CIA agent! He did create a PERSONALITY TEST , for the CIA, which is called: THE LEARY. Timothy Leary was asked about this and replied that if it were true, he never received a dime! It is probably true that Leary was "used" by the CIA, to a certain degree, and was not a true CIA agent! There was a SCI-FI TV-SERIES (1996-1997)) entitled: "DARK SKIES" (w/20 episodes), about the operations of: MAJESTIC-12, in the 1960's. Its main thesis was: AN INVASION OF EARTH, BY THE "GREY" ALIENS, and MAJESTIC-12 (a TOP SECRET GOVERNMENT group dealing specifically with EXTRA-TERRESTRIALS, and believed to have been a REAL GROUP)! It is sorta like the TV MINI-SERIES "V". One specific show (episode) dealt with the BEATLES music containing hidden meassages (encoded by the "grey aliens") for "mind control", and planetary invasion! I have a DVD-set and a T-shirt of: DARK SKIES (from ebay)! Many adults, in the 60's/70's blamed the BEATLES (STONES?) for bringing LONG HAIR, and especially DRUGS, into this country. Yes, they did! My mother believed this! Many parents DID! Maybe THE BRITISH INVASION, really was a psy-op INVASION, involving "ROLE-MODELING?! BE very careful of the ROLE-MODEL's you follow! Can you say: SOCIAL ENGINEERING (CIA/TAVISTOCK)? "MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO!" Monkey "see" LONG HAIR, Monkey "have" LONG HAIR! In PSYCHOLOGY: ADULTS "model" bahaviors that they want their children to follow, but other "role-models" (usually social engineered) interfere with their parental-plans. A short history lesson here: What was the basis for the formation of AMERICA? Answer: For Europeans (and Asians) to ecape from the harsh rules (TYRANNY) of the BRITISH (KING)and ROMAN (Pope) EMPIRES and seek poilitical and religious "freedoms". Who's into "beheadings (British) and "crucifixions" (Roman Empire), anyway? Or how about the COMMUNIST EMPIRE, where dissidents are put on a wall and SHOT! We're hippies: peace, love and compassion, man! We believe in AMERICA THE FREE!!! Have you heard of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION? It's main purpose was to escape the rule from THE BRITISH EMPIRE. PROTESTANT RELIGIONS formed as a PROTEST to THE HOLY ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. Remember those Belfast, Ireland conflicts between Catholics and Protestants? The word PROPAGANDA, is derived from the root word - PROPAGATE, as in: "to propagate one's faith upon others", which is what most politics and religions do, in an effort to from powerful empires - mostly brutal in form. I'm talking history and hard facts, here, not theories! So, the concept of THE AQUARIAN CONSPIRACY is simple. EUROPEAN EMPIRES want control of the world, and are absolutely "pissed-off" at losing many controls of THE AMERICAN EMPIRE. Those darn REBELS! THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION angered British rule, and PROTESTANTISM angered the Roman rule. COMMUNISM wants its share of world domination, too. It's not country vs. country, it's FACTION 1 vs .FACTION2 vs. FACTION 3, for WORLD DOMNATION!. It is a known fact that the CIA allowed LSD to flow-free in the 60's (as a social experiment). TAVISTOCK INSTITUTE FOR HUMAN RELATIONS created many 60's words, like: "rock" music, "teenager" and "cool", LINK: www.illuminati-news.com/art-and-mc/rock-and-mc.htm (Beatles, Rock 'n' Roll & Mind Control/The Beatles and the Aquarian Conspiracy), according to Wes Penre (who claims to own a TAVISTOCK manual)!!! Books like: ACID DREAMS, STORMING HEAVEN and LIQUID CONSPIRACY, describe this idea, also. They help create "THE MATRIX". For further info on TAVISTOCK, see: TAVISTOCK THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN AMERICA - link: www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_tavistock01.htm . TAVISTOCK, also created THE GENERATION GAP (between children and adults) and were behind many 60's/70's radical groups - like the Panther groups. This is just an old defensive stategy - "divide and conquer". Have the people fight each other, directing their anger at each other, instead of toward the REAL PERPETRATERS - the global elite. This is pure Machiavellian (Italian) and Hegelian (CIA) in concept. THE TWILIGHT ZONE (w/Rod Serling) TV show had an epside where an alien race took over Earth by pitting humans against humans, so they CONQUER themselves! Wake up sheeple! This crap has been going on for centuries and people still fall for it! The Hippie movement was too rebellious and the 50's "baby boom" created a huge surge in teenagers, then! The "powers that be" were being outnumbered and became quite alarmed, so they came up with a defensive strategy to divert the hippie's rebelleous behavior - from OUTWARD to INWARD, thus, used LSD, as a type of "miind-chemical warfare" (MILITARY DOCUMENTS prove this), plus endorsed "meditation" and "inward journeys". But, this "social experiment", had some "back-fires", as all social experiments do! The hippies discovered "GOD", remained peacful and anti-war. to this day. There is a WORLD-WIDE movement TODAY, to enforce these beliefs by the PATRIOT/MILITIA movement and THE STAR CHILDREN! Both of these groups are making HUGE CHANGES! Don't be fooled! We will WIN in the end, i.e. if that ET-channeling info is correct, that we MUST BE PEACEFUL to travel amonst the stars! "NEVER GIVE-UP, NEVER GIVE-IN." - FEDERAL WHISTLE BLOWERS Disregarding complex REAL conspiracies, which STILL involve TEENAGE REBELLION (but taking advantage of it, for a hidden agenda), TEENAGE REBELLION is a natural stage of human development, and in the 60's/70's time-frame, LONG HAIR (on guys) was just irritating to the "powers that be". OCAM's RAZOR concept: It's just that simple! Don't "overthink" it! Peace, love and understanding
I have short hair, but I'm dying to grow it again. Just like CNd signs are symbols of peace, long hair is a trait of hippies. I dye my hair purple as a form of rebellion I suppose, though the only thing that will shock my Mother is dreads!
Real hippies don't care... you're confusing hippies with cliquies... who will grow their hair out and wear tie dye as long as it's fashionable but when the winds of fad change direction the hair will get lopped off and clothes will change.
