What is the purpose of this forum (sorry I'm a little annoyed)

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...

 

Thanks!

 

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...

 

Hey SugarMaggie its nice to finally see your face! I've spoken with you before and got you confused with someone else? =P how have you been? what part of the neighborhood are you from? I'm in Sparta but go all over to have a good time... You kind of have to in this small town.......

 

Hey there girl!! I remember you..I don't live far from you at all. I've been hanging in there..what about yourself?? Pm me sometime and maybe we can get together..I know all about the small town bs..it's hard to find cool people, isn't it??

 

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?

 

as long as i don't hafta go with him.

 

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 don't get along anywhere.

 

I can see why...

 

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...

 

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.
