Young Hippies disappoint me!!!!

do you consider yourself to be an "old hippy" cause u seem young to me an dto maybe try making this site better you could maybe post stuff about starting communes and stuff like that cause i havent seen much about that on here, but i havent looked for it either

 

who? lol

 

I was a member of the old board also, things were a little more focussed then it seemed. I am not just disappointed in the young "hippies", whatever they may be, but also the old ones. My generation protested the war and made the world more open to all options, including interracial relationships, and women's and gay rights. Almost all of the good that was done is being undermined by financial/corporate interests now, and most of my generation is going along with it, and the youngies, well mom and dad are sending them off to college, and they just want to end up with a job that pays well when they get done partying. Most of them couldn't care less what they really are interested in they just want the "things".

 

well thats the youth of todays babylon in general..

thats not the "young hippies" i know..

yer takin a whole couple generations an lumping them into a heapin pile of generalisation..

i think that is unfair to yer average road dog festie kid nowadays..

 

i'd have to say that really hurt me. When my mum wants to effect me she always says i'm dissapointed in you i hate to really let someone down so i guess sorry then

 

"My mum."


Limey speak.

I'm Irish, and hate your sort.

The Romans colonized you-- but not Scotland, nor Ireland.

We remember--everything.

 

internet forums is not where you find/take action; take it to the streets

 

ahahahahha well someone is bitter, fair enough we'll have to have these 30 second history lessons more often soon everyone will hate eachother

 

thud,, put down the vodka..

 

an you young christopher..

go to yer room..

 

i understand what you're saying, i agree

but we're no more in the sixties, we had to be ther at that moment, today ther's no hippies, ther's no more lifestyle like this, it's all dead

sure ther are still people who maybe have the mentality, and maybe some who have the lifestyle but in general ther's nothing left from the sixties

you had to be part of that period of time, of the music, of the spirituality, of the movement

i'm wasnt ther neither, just like most of us

 

I was there and it sounds overly exaggerated... What I hear about the 60's and all.

 

I don't really believe in time as a boundary. I believe that culture never really dies, it can be picked back up and followed. Look at asatru, a norse reconstructionalist religion.. Culture doesnt die, it is just simply forgotten.

The culture of the stereotypical 60's "hippie" was that of love and happiness, a communal feeling of existence shared by all humans and extending to all living things. (sure, there were people like that) How can you say that this is gone forever..

 

Like I said, what you hear about it today is a bit of an exaggeration.

 

I'm just saying, let's not write off these forums like they serve no purpose.

 

Ofcourse not, these are great forums --- but we should focus on now instead of the 60's. We live in our, as you say, "love and happiness, a communal feeling of existence shared by all humans and extending to all living things". But live and base our feelings off of now and not the 60's. Take things as they happen.. Not worry about fitting the "hippie" stereotype.. What good is fitting a label gonna do? Nothing. The problem with Neo-hippies (nowaday hippies) is they worry too much about fitting the label and not the feelings.

 

exactly, I agree.

 

i didnt said it was gone forever, but in a way it is dead today, i say dead because yes it's forgoten, but it's deeply forgoten

i dont think it's always exagereted, and it depends in wich way, i'v seen documentrys on 60's (with videos filmed in the sixties) and some things i saw was even more than i though it was

 

we young ones arent all lost.
just debends on what you looking for and where. though i agree that theres lot's of babylon youth going around.

ignorance is strength in modern world

 

Learn to spell.

Learn punctuation.

I pay school taxes in order that you stupid fucks are supposedly educated.

Prove it to me, morons.
