    What is this forum supposed to be for? I keep posting specific topics and I'm told that they don't belong here.

    Maybe I don't understand the intention of this forum. What topics is it for? I assumed it was a general anything-goes kind of forum. A lot of the threads on this forum are pointless generic crap, so I'm sorry for posting anything that may be deemed too interesting here.

    I post on this forum because I like the people here. In the specific forums, I don't always find the same people responding. I've gotten to know and like the people who post here, and I want to talk to them about the things I'm interested in!

    drumminmama, I'm "quickly tiring" of you closing my threads! I know it's your job, but seriously, you're being a thread-sorting Nazi.

    What's the point of a thread for "hippies" if I can't talk about hippy related topics?

    I see this section as a small talk section. But I'm new, so I'm in no place to judge.

    Aww..there are some really cool folks here...don't let it run you off. I believe they're just trying to guide you. There are certain forums for certain topics...you just may get better responses by going to them. Welcome to the forums, by the way...;)

    As I see it, Raccoon, you're only 15. If I'm not mistaken there is a YOUNG HIPPY forum where you might just get along better. And, take ONLY ONE with you.


    Bye!

    As I see it, Thudly, you're 58. There's an OLD HIPPY forum where you might just get along better...

    Whats it like to live in a small town in the Southern US? Is it as hillbillyish, Republican Christian fundamentalist and unsophisticated as people say? What's it like to be a hippy in this kind of place?

    The hippy in my head just ignores everyone else.. :)
    It's not so bad really. What I love about the south is the beautiful countryside. Everything is really spread out, so if you're lucky enough to live in the country then you probably have a few acres of land and no neighbors, which is really great. I also love summertime here. Fishing, camping, hiking..you name it. Lots of lakes and rivers. I've always lived here, so I guess I really don't have anything else to compare it to. Yes, we have hillbillies, but it's not THAT unsophisticated. You'd probably be surprised. We tend to just take things slower..not so fast paced. I'm a proud southern gal.. ;)

    I'm in a rural area, but a ways further north, up in vermont. I hate it, I want to be somewhere else... anywhere else, even another rural are just not this one.

    Well...


    When you're growing up in a small town
    When you're growing up in a small town
    When you're growing up in a small town
    You say no one famous ever came from here

    When you're growing up in a small town
    and you're having a nervous breakdown
    and you think that you'll never escape it
    Yourself or the place that you live

    Where did Picasso come from
    There's no Michelangelo coming from Pittsburgh
    If art is the tip of the iceberg
    I'm the part sinking below

    When you're growing up in a small town
    Bad skin, bad eyes, gay and fatty
    People look at you funny
    When you're in a small town

    My father worked in construction
    It's not something for which I'm suited
    Oh, what is something for which you are suited ?
    Getting out of here

    I hate being odd in a small town
    If they stare let them stare in New York City
    As this pink eyed painting albino
    How far can my fantasy go ?

    I'm no Dali coming from Pittsburgh
    No adorable lisping Capote
    My hero, oh, do you think I could meet him ?
    I'd camp out at his front door

    There is only one good thing about small town
    There is only one good use for a small town
    There is only one good thing about small town
    You know that you want to get out

    When you're growing up in a small town
    You know you'll grow down in a small town
    There is only one good use for a small town

    You hate it and you'll know you have to leave

    That's cool. There's probably hillbillies everywhere though, and the South isn't too different. Except for Florida, I haven't really been down there. I'm going to Atlanta next month, so I'll get to see a little more...I haven't been to any countryside though, and it sounds cool...

    MR
    Take the "nazi" and shove it. What you are accusing me of is facism/ censorship, when what I'm doing is being a traffic light.
    The reason we have differesnt forums is to allow the conversations of related interest to flourish..and not fall aprt...like this one has.
    Reread sugar's post and take it to heart. she said it well.

    Nalencer-- you frost-bitten Canooks may, at your leisure, resume worshipping the flea-ridden, tularia-infected BEAVER GOD!


    My God! You put his heathen image on your nickels!

    One can only wish the rest of you England-worshipping tribe (The Queen Lizzy is on your dimes) would work quite as hard.

    Canadians divide their life and time thusly: for 6 months they steal firewood from beavers, and for 6 months they burn it, huddling to keep warm under their imitation Hudson Bay blankets.(The real ones are too expensive-- they sell them to American yuppies.)

    Surprising, don't you think, that Canadians' have an extremely low rate of reproduction.

    (The beavers, cariboo and wolverines do just fine, I understand.)

    Go howl at The Northern Lights.

    Actually, Nilancer-- if you're a devotee of Shopenhauer, we may have much in common: a lech for LisaLoveLight and a burning desire for truth.


    "A man's intelligence may be judged by the inverse capability of his ability to tolerate noise." Or something like that-- I don't have his funny essay, "On Noise", readily at hand.

    FUCKING WHIP-SNAPPERS!

    Sorry, drumminmama, that was pretty stupid to say that. I apologize. I just get a little annoyed when people stop me from talking. Anyway, I got the info I needed from those threads. Sorry.
