i gotta say, i have never seen such rude people as there are here on hipforums. afriend of mine told me about this cool hippie site called hipforums. i was so excited to meet up with other hippies from my generation. but i have got to tell you that the rude people here deff out number the nice ones. why is being rude considered cool these days? sorry, but i never remember meeting hippies back in the 60's and 70's that were rude and obnoxious. so many people here say they are hippies. hippies are mellow, hippies are nice, hippies are understanding. i've seen some of the cruelest and meanest posts here on hipforums. having an opinion is wonderful, but why do so many people attack you if you do have an opinion. isn't this how we are supposed to learn from one another. aren't we all brother's and sister's working together to make this a better world? not on this forum. i'm so disappointed, i guess i will look else where for understanding and to help bring peace to this earth. it sure ain't happenin here. sorry to the people that are really trying and are nice, i've met quit a few, but the angry and bitter one's over rule. angel
"Go away"? That comment reminded me of cliques....in general. I think you should stay. I think everyone needs to smoke a bowl and then make 5 posts - all at the same time. With some Coltrane playing in the background. Naked.
ive made a similar comment once and i got replies that basically meant i oughta toughen up cuz the internet is full of rude pple. i do think that there are some rude pple on here, but i dont think they outnumber the nice pple. however, i do know forums that are way more welcoming than this one. i still like it here cuz u can say w/e u wanna say.. u just gotta ignore the morons..
seems like so many people are whinning about this site lately...i dont mean to be rude, but its just what i have noticed. i agree with crayola. Their can be many stupid, ignornant idiots on here, but there can be some very nice people here to. and if this just simply isnt the right place for you, then find something to do.
crayola can you give me some websites that are more welcoming than this one? i would really appreciate it. peace and love angel
I agree there are quite some rude people here, but you have rude people everywhere and there are some really great people here too. By making a thread like this, unfortunately, you won't convert the rude people to being nice, just provokes them. Oh, and if all the nice people leave the forums the stupid ones WILL outnumber the nice ones. So stay and help to make this place a better one. I am aware that this is not exactly original, but it's all I can think of for now and it's how I feel about the topic. ^^ Oh, and you'll probably find more rude people in this part of the forums ... never liked Young Hippies much, too much like high school, that's why I don't hang around here often. Check out the other parts as well before you decide the whole forums are crap, okay? *quickly hides before yh fans come to bash me* Rain PS: For somebody not liking this place you DO have a lot of posts, you know... I just noticed.
funny, just yesterday somebody called me a name (!)for a post i made, and when i looked up his b.d. energy, sure enough, anger and temper issues were evident. See, we are all on this cosmic path, and learning how to forgive and understand when people are not being nice is how we learn that we are evolving..if everyone was always sweet and kind to us, we would not be able to gauge how our ego's were letting go of the need to be right, acknowledged etc. It is really hard sometimes to feel so vulnerable, especially when one is publicly "shamed", but just remember that cruelty only makes the giver look bad, and not the receiver. i have had alot of great folks pm over the time iv'e been here, sometimes, my ego wants them to say those nice things so everybody else can see them too! And when someone occasionally,(well, thankfully rarely) says something mean, i feel embarrassed. it's just part of being human. Try to respond with love, and watch your heart open. It's great spiritual training. ps. hippiewise sister, don't you dare go away!!!! great idea!!
Let's hope that the warm, mellow folks will stick around and the "less kind" will get bored and find another place to play. Peace
i wonder if anyone ever makes one of these "people on here aren't hippies/suck/are rude" threads and has me in mind.. though i dont think i'm mean. but you never know unless someone confronts you.
Are you kidding? I wish it were this easy to ignore the assholes in the real world. In here if you don't like someone or you get to a point where you realise you're better off not paying any attention to them all you have to do is not read their posts. we even have an ignore list option. Also I've noticed the real assholes don't tend to last too long. Same for the people who can't take a joke.
