I was thinking the same thing yesterday... There really isn't much arguing here.. Definitely not as much as anywhere else you go..
hey Hippies come check out the reggae - here's a link to my reggae bands 'crappylittlehomepage' we are called JAH volunteers http://hometown.aol.com/Cubbieslider
I love many ppl and many things but the one thing i hate is that i did not get to live in the 60s/70s. and no matter how much i want to, will make no difference. the golden age of hippies has past and the only thing i can do is admire it. not to mention i missed woodstock. maybe one day i will find a place where peace and love reign once again. but until then, this forum will definently do.
I agree, but we should be proud to live now, though, too. Cause things are a lot harder for hippies these days, times are tougher, numbers are fewer (maybe not. probably lots of "closet-hippies", heh.), and our country isn't as free as it used to be. We gotta be positive about it. We're the younger, stronger, more durable era who has to put up with even more bullshit to live the way we want to live. As Bob Marley once sang, "We're the survivors. In this age of technological inhumanity. Scientific atrocity. Atomic misphilosophy. Nuclear misenergy. Together now. We're the survivors." thanks Bob!
yea, you're definetly right! thanks, you just made me feel a lot bettter about being a new age hippie!
can a friendship workout with a guy if u have totally opposing views? will it eventually not work? he's one of those marine guys and im all for peace, to name an example....
lovemix u summed up my feelings exactly "the one thing i hate is that i did not get to live in the 60s/70s." peace out
well i think we werent alive back then cuz we werent supposed to be.....if you think theres not enuff hippies around today go to a rain bow gathering. good vibes, good peeps. welcome here.org. peace
Hey people... Hey LoveMinx, Pepper and OJ... Love I am surprised you ever got into a relationship with a marine of opposing views considering your obvious hippie leaning, particularly a marine, I guess that's all a part of your understanding nature, I ain't judging as i don't know him and I don't want to catergorize people by their jobs too heavily cos it doesn't always run like that... I just wonder who in the relationship is the most like to give a little on there beliefs for the sake of the others feelings... I am thinking it's probably you? and if your asking about weather it can work then maybe that's a sign that you doubt it can? ... but if I am completely wrong then feel free to slap me if it's in your nature! I have had similiar thoughts as Pepper about wanting to live in the 60's, but I am tending to feel that anything is possible at anytime if there are the people to create it... so maybe we all need to take positive action to ignite the fires that can spread, to create the vibrations to get those stones rolling once again... and maybe it's already happening, but we just are not looking properly because we are reminiscing in a rose tinted perspective of a bygone decade?? Just a passing thought... Heroin and too much alcohol and the right wing facists sniping in the dark killed the 60's in my opinion. Next/this time we could get a more permanent result that can last centuries rather than a decade? sorry just another random thought!!! I shall shut up now... feel free to hurl your abuse and opinions at me cos that will help me build a broader perspective! Resect to you all... I must learn not to go on so
http://www.socialistunitynetwork.co.uk/news/livingstone.htm If your in the UK then you will probably be aware of the right wing ploy to slander the socialist London Mayor... if you know about it or not I recommend you read the above link if you haven't already! And I suggest a boycott of all right wing press particularly the Daily Mail group news papers that includes the The London Evening Standard. Don't buy the paper, don't put money in these peoples pockets! If you want another 60's then take action now! Backing Ken Livingstone is backing humanity, civil rights and the freedom of a just world society for all... he is a very important and powerful social voice in a sea of capitalist degradation, don't let him be swamped by the leeches of greed and hatred. But if you don't agree with me then thats your prerogative... time will give the enlightenment of truth, but then it maybe too late for many of us. Peace and love, but acquiring it isn't gonna be peaceful if we let things slip much further. I know I am not doing anything like enough, are you?
Maybe I'm late on this subject, but just to basically say what's been said, I mean we missed the Hippie prime and but hey, we're NOW, and we have NOW to get through to the masses! Let's do it! We are a generation full of energy, we CAN change the world, the question is WILL we!? We have to do this! It's why we were put here with a spirit of change! Peace <3
