I've got a feeling I might be in the minority here but I'm actually envious of proper hardcore hippies - ya know the guys living in self-sufficient communes etc, or permanently travelling. I'd quite like to drop out of this bullshit capitalist society - and maybe I will someday, who knows.
If I had kids I'd prefer them to be hippies and think for themselves than corporate high-flier wannabes - thinking the best life is a 'good career' working your arse off to make someone else rich. I think happiness has more value than money.
As a pseudo-hippy (or something) I have nothing but love for everyone!
Nah - some groups of people really piss me off - generally people who have fixed opinions/beliefs and aren't prepared to listen to another point of view. Religious nuts, people that think any criticism of Israel is excusing the holocaust, people that say 'support the troops' no matter who they are killing or for what reason.... and yeah, the self-righteous hippies too.
Sure have opinions - I fuckin love people with opinions - but be prepared to listen to other people's as well and change your views as you learn more and experience new things. Don't have beliefs have ideas.
The armed forces generally piss me off too - it seems they take young kids and brainwash them into not thinking for themselves. I'm not blaming the kids, it's not their fault - or is it? It's the system. Some Vietnam-era song said "I never knew until I got into the army that thinking for yourself was a crime". That seems to sum it up. My sister is in the Navy and I've seen how it's changed her - kinda sad really.
For fuck's sake people think for yourself - don't just blindly follow ya parents when they say the bible is the word of God or blindly follow orders and shoot some kid who's probably also brainwashed and blindly following orders too...
...and don't get me started on Bu$h n B'liar!
Fuck - I've written shit loads! Oh well, as the only self-confessed semi-hippy here (please don't hate me!) I couldn't just give a one line reply!
