flowerchild67 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 Being from the generation where hippies were in the spotlight so to speak I am one. I lived the lifestyle of one and have the ideals of the hippie generation. People looked at us like we were terrible people or poor trash. But that is not true, you don't have to be poor to be a hippie. It is not the way you dress, behavior, economic status, or social milieu. It is how one approaches life....beliveing in freedom, peace, love, respection others and of course the earth. Hippies haven't died, they are still here and always have been over the years. Some may even put Jesus in there, since he was a man of peace, not using violence to solve a situation. I think we all have some hippie in us. And I am not saying everyone should be a hippie, just that we all can practice peace and love and respect more in our daily lives.
Uncle Joe Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 I could be a hip hippie. As a matter of fact, I was. Now? Probably not.
Elvish Posted December 20, 2005 Report Posted December 20, 2005 I'm a total hippie. Used to be more retro style-wise, but being a mom has really brought out my inner hippie.
edna Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 I was posh and bold at the same time and did things hippies did, like dope, music, clothes, love and few others. Most of my friends were "enfants terribles" so it was easy, being rich and handsome and trendy, to behave like this, but half of them ended up ruling their parent´s business and now live all around the world and are millionnaires. They look at that period of our lives like the most cool and beautiful. We still keep our ideals but none of us were able to share the house with other people than husband, wife and kids. And I always knew I would have to behave like a square many times in order to earn money and be able to live confortably, most like a bourgeois than a hippy.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 If you are inspired by "Hair" ...Then you might be a hippie! I say we market it...lets steal Jeff Foxworthys ideas!
invisible_r Posted December 21, 2005 Report Posted December 21, 2005 i dressed like one for a while and wanted to be one, but i think i am way too cynical now, can't remember whether i was that bad back then
Levis Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 I love hippiedom! I love peace signs and Beetles and colours and smoke and lava lamps and long hair and worn jeans and good music! My biggest regret is that I wasn't at Woodstock '69.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 If you can have promiscuous unprotected sex while smokin the doobie and singing songs by Peter, Paul and Mary at the same time! Then burn your bra! ....then you might be a hippie!

edna Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Yes, they´re funny... It´s a good site for graemlins... www.planetsmilies.com
Lucky Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 I also could easily be a hippie....I'm the right age. I actually was one after a fashion, but more of a redneck hippie(reconcile that!). In the Midwest, while we liked the idea, we were too countrified, to be true hippies. We liked our beer, pickups, and shotguns too much to be true hippies!!!
Sweet Jane 61 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 I feel like one...I was born about 10 years too late to be around for the actual movement of the hippies, but I have the attitude for the most part and Janis was the ultimate hippie chic and I feel so deeple connected to her. Where is that time machine anyway??
The Seeker Posted January 21, 2006 Report Posted January 21, 2006 I love hippiedom! I love peace signs and Beetles and colours and smoke and lava lamps and long hair and worn jeans and good music! My biggest regret is that I wasn't at Woodstock '69. Same here. I want to think that I would have been a hippie had I lived then, but I'm not sure.
Levis Posted January 22, 2006 Report Posted January 22, 2006 I don't think I'd have been able to... too far from all the action. Maybe I'm a reincarnated hippie... there's a hopeful thought... maybe I was at Woodstock! Of course I wouldn't remember it!
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Read about this today. If you live in Arkansas you might wanna check it out. Nikki Davis said she is an old hippie and that is what she calls her antique shop, Old Hippy. It is in Searcy, Ark., near Little Rock. She said she still believes in the hippie ideals of love, peace, and brotherhood. She sells classic juke boxes to vintage lunch boxes. Sounds like a cool and groovy shop. I just love the name!! Bet she will do great with hippie being cool again, as if it should not have been cool all these years.
edna Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Since I was a teen-ager I never could go to bed without a bath, nor share my room/fridge/clothes/etc, and many other things that definitely make me a non-hippy. Rather bourgeoise...
Earth-Angel Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I'm too uptight to be a hippie... pity, it sounds pretty groovy baby yeah!
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 But don't you think that what hippies believed in makes one a hippie or a wanna-be? They were very free and wanted peace for everyone. The thought of not bathing, well, can't go there, but my friends and I shared clothes all the time in high school...as for sharing lovers...well that seems to be not just for hippies They believed in a world that was good, nothing wrong with that, we all need a little of that for sure.
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I imagine that detecter would be shaped like a peace symbol???
Elvish Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 I imagine that detecter would be shaped like a peace symbol??? Yes, and it would most likely play "All You Need Is Love" when I was anywhere in its vicinity. Seriously folks, I'm one crunchy mama. I wear Nicholas in an assortment of baby carriers (wraps are our favorite), we cloth diaper (they've come a long way baby), co-sleep, breastfeed and practice just about any kind of attachment parenting you can think of. The next babe I'll likely have at home, or at least have a midwife.
RonJonSurfer Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Peace ,Love and this website Babies..... http://www.woodstocknation.org/links.htm
Crazy Don Posted February 6, 2006 Report Posted February 6, 2006 Like, I could've been a hippie, man, but I was, like, too young at the time, man.
