Is it a lifestyle? A look? A philosophy?
I have the look and live a type of hedonistic/hippie lifestyle but I'm as far right politically as you come. George Bush is looking pretty left to me right now, as a matter of fact. What makes a hippie? |

A few missing chromosomes and a mother who drank during pregnancy.

|
Person - Brain - Cleanliness + Long Hair + Pot = Hippie.
I HATE EM. GOD DAMN HIPPIES! |
|
ziNG!!!! good one. |
|
|
It is someone who failed at life and has turned to Communism as his or her only means of and last chance at becoming important.
|
|
someone who wants to save the world, but they just smoke weed and smell bad.
|
|
See? Most people here dont really know just what a hippie is.
You can't spot a hippie by how they look always. It's a philosophy of extreme liberalism, not a haircut or lack of hygene. Here's webster's definition:
The look and the hygene are just dressing and excuses for laziness. |
|
|
Bongos, tuneless noodling on a bamboo flute, and/or an overpowering reek of patchouli and BO are good indicators.
I think it's a lifestyle/attitude that combines a desire for libertinism regarding sex and drugs with a desire for (and willingness to accept) a broad "safety net" of food, shelter, and medical care from whoever will pay for it. I have known some who were genuinely entrepreneurial, running successful small businesses, trading in real estate, et c. For them it's more a matter of fashion and politics (moonbat orthodoxy, for the most part) than anything else. I also knew one who while in college was making $4 - 5K a month dealing pot and getting food stamps, reduced-rate utilities, et c. because he had no "job." |
|
bwahahahahaha! |
|
|
Not a true hippie. An opportunist/hippocrit. If their business takes off, they will become capitalists so that almost makes them sociopaths. |
|
|
I've always considered a hippy to be a remnant of the 60s. I just had a younger guy refer to himself as a hippy and I thought of him more as a welfare/ SSI bum, but I guess it may depend on how you view yourself as far as these younger guys go...........

When someone says Hippie, I picutre a bunch of non bathing freaks sitting in a circle on a grassy hill weaving daisy chains to wear on their heads. When they should be freaking shaving!

The hippie generation of the sixties and all their demented spawnchildren of GenX are the most noxious and toxic scumpad that has ever surfaced in the American gene pool. That whole liberal-arts-majored, drug-pushing, socially-retarded, authority-hating, hemp-wearing, dirt-munching generation of self-indulgent, America-hating, Veteran-face-spitting, ungrateful, Marxist-tool-shit-for-brains should be flogged, skewered, disemboweled, drawn, quartered and fed to the hogs. And the GenX/GenY scraggly-bearded, birkenstock-wearing, hemp-pushing, college-crap-filled, woefully-ignorant, America-can-do-no-right, hypocritical, anarchy-marching, hyper-sexed, pointlessly-radical, self-centered, snot-eating, nihilistic, amoral, ritalin-chomping, zit-pus-equivalents that are the putrid progeny of the 60s flower-child generation and that now fill the schools by day and the streets and malls by night are just as offensive and even more destructive to the already tattered remnants of the once-noble American culture and society. These "oh-I'm-so-intelligent-and-progressive-minded" dirtbags think they're so "open-minded" and rational because they wear peace-signs, have "Question Authority" bumper-stickers on their broken-down '74 VW bus, read Noam Chomsky, will fuck anything anywhere, listen to DMB and Tool and wear filthy rags for clothes just to "be different" and think they're the most intelligent, clever and brilliant people who've ever lived when in fact they are just a bunch of lazy-assed, underachieving, snot-nosed, full-of-shit, waste-of-space, useful-idiot-jerkweeds of the radical Marxists clogging up our society and eroding our national identity, security, soveriegnty and future. And in trying soooooo hard to "be different" and be so "counterculture" they ALL end up looking, talking and acting EXACTLY identical - like some massive nationwide bastard borg of ragged, unoriginal, "alternative-music" following, putrid-smelling, Marxist-spouting clones. Hippies. |

Very good post. Age is more important than anything though, most hippies are under 23 or over 50 and they are UGLY for the most part. There is barely _any_ give in those rules. Judging on looks may kill you though, I usually get treated very poorly in gun shops I dont frequent because honestly I have hair longer than most women |
|
|
Now hold on there about Tool.
They did write a song about California falling into the ocean. "I'm pryaing for mayhem." "I want to watch it all go down." They can't be that bad. |

"Hey! It's Ted!" |
|
Just go to any anti-war protest and look for anyone over 50.
|
|
Don't hold back, now. Tell us how you really feel, Mac. |
|
|
I have long hair and I've been called a hippy.
Which is funny. Because I'm highly conservative and capitalistic. My hair just looks terrible short. |
|
Next time ask them, "Do hippies carry guns like I do?" |
|
|
Can't carry a gun. Yet. Just barely can smoke (though I don't anymore). But one day! Also, I do wear birkenstocks and hawaiian shirts, have the beginnings of a scraggly beard, listen to Tool, and I even read Palahniuk. So I guess I can see why some people think I might be a hippy. |

|
Hawaiian shirts and birkenstocks?
WTF? Everybody know you wear Vans with Hawaiian shirts, dude. |
|
Birks are more comfortable for my German-style feet. If it's closed-toe shoes, it's either Asolo boots or vintage-style Pumas FTW. |
|
|
Long-haired, guitar playing, VD-infested, wheat grass smoothie drinking, kum-ba-yah singing, pot smoking, hypocritical fucktard liberals.
|
|
I have long hair and wear Brikenstocks and hate to shave. I drink smoothies but don't like wheatgrass juice. Dont smoke pot or have VD.
I do own my Cafe and Juice Bar and a good living and pay my taxes. And I am a gun owning republican who loves rockmusic from the 60's, 70', and 80's. I also belive GOD and love my country I spent 15 years working in the natural food business, so I have spent a great deal of time around hippies in places like San Franciso, Sant Fe, and So Cal. You can't always judge people by what they look like. It is whatsin there hearts and minds that count. I personally don't care for what they belive, do or say. And the smell is very hard to deal with ( Dam you can be a hippie but at least take shower) Anyway it is a free country but I wish all the hippies would move to CA and New York and leave the rest of the country to the rest of us. WE CAN HOPE??????? "I HATE HIPPIES! I mean the way they alway talk about "protectin the earth" and then they drive around around in cars that get poor gas milage and wear those stupid bracelets - I hate 'em! I wanna kick'em in the nuts! RE: (Eric Cartman of South Park) Force-Recon |

What is a hippie?
A US enemy. They are lazy too. A hippie hates responsiblility. I have an older sister that is a 60's relic. I do not like speaking with her. She married a professor from Spain. Piss on both of em |

Don't push him. Mac has issues with self-expression. Eventually, he'll open up on his own, if we just give him some space. |

Don't hold back, and tell us how you really feel Actually, that's a pretty good description of what I think of hippies and hippy spawn |
|
|
Excelent rant!! Im saving that, describes 75% of the kids at my college perfectly. |
|
|
my neighbors up the road, tie dye, long hair, hate "the man", everything is a conspiricy, and smoke pot like cigerettes since acid is to hard to get anymore?
|
|
You forgot Petchouli cologne, and the worship of all things cosmic... |
|

Wanna see something scary? hock.gif
Hippie Family hippie.gifhippie.gif Anyone who dresses their kids like that should be arrested for child abuse! http://www.softgreenglow.com/mt/archives/ptsf_ammo.jpg |

Captianpooby Hippie? No you would have to throw a hippie out of a plane!
Sounds like a cool game though,we could call it THRILL OR NO THRILL! Bob |
|
I usually think of a hippy as a sub species of the "leftist douchebaggerous".
Long hair tie dye pothead (many go batshit over cigarette smokers but smoke dope all the time) Phish and/or Greatful Dead fan little dancing bear stickers on their VW Usually give lip service to peace while being narcissistic, arrogant, and pussy hounds lazy Wear Che Guevera shirts without really knowing who he was think of peace as the absence of war, while we think of peace as freedom Poor personal hygeine Dress like thrift store dumpsters are their closets Affect the speech of the stoned (oh, wowwwwww....bummer....etc) Natural foods (I only eat organic, maaaan) Call George Bush a fascist The men are generally more sexis thtan conservative men, the women mouth feminism but are treated less kindly by their men and with much less respect I want to kick them in the nuts The women don't shave the pits, chest, or legs Believe all property should be shared (except theirs) But that's OK, after they've had something for a while you wuldn't want it anyway. |
