1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Hi, I don't consider myself to be a real hippie, and quite frankly I guess I don't know what it truly means. I see a lot of people bashing others for not being a "true hippie" which feels like they're contradicting themselves. Wouldn't it be much easier to tell them what they consider a real hippie?

    Though I suppose I know a few teenagers who seem to be ruining the image, and just do drugs all day to get "messed up" rather than explore their minds, and they call themselves hippies. I could see how one like that could get on a few people's nerves.

    However what I am, is a young man who is open minded, and like some of the discussions going on here. I'm semi politically active, I can't vote yet, but I write my senators/E-mail them on issues such as Net Neutrality and some restricitive gaming bills being passed.

    I joined this forum to understand the culture, to understand what freedoms are being struck down, and most of all to meet positive people!

    My name is Kellan, I'm 17, and enjoy the world.
