Originally posted by Arbiter The thing I don't like about hippies is that it's impossible to have an intelligent conversation with them (or even when one of them is within earshot). They typically don't educate themselves very well on the issues they so passionately rant about, preferring glittering generalities and slogans. Even when they do know a lot of facts surrounding the issue, they rarely put them together into coherent arguments. Instead, they use them as fuel for mud-slinging contests. Some hippies are good for society, but I might agree that we have too many of them that are all talk and no action.

well put...

everything they say is based on emotions.....their ideas are great, but they just don't work in the real world.....we live in an imperfect world, and we are all human....we have to make the best of it, and this requires rational thought, not baseless emotional rants.

LMAO. I wanna say "nb4dalock" cuz it looks like this may degenerate into some kinda verbal combat. But anyway, yeah i can kinda see his point. There are many "hippies" that are just there to appear intellectual and because it's the trendy opinion of the time. There can be a point when there's too many but, I don't think we've reached this point yet. You forget that America is still run by corporations, corrupt politics, the "man", etc. So obviously we haven't reached situation where there are so many radicalists running around that we can't get anything done.

A possible chance I guess, but you performed a poor form of responsive argument by trying to head the debate in a different direction whilst ignoring the previous comment.

I decided that it wasnt worth responding to. In all honesty I think that we all have our opinions on this and its never going to change. This is all hippy vs. tightass right now... and really it might belong in political debate with what you were going into. In fact, you might get better conversation there. I seem to think so, at least.

actually that insult was directed at tta as a joke..dont flatter urself

I don't like political debate, maybe due to the fact that I hate politics.

Its interesting that people are so quick to put you in a stereotypical box when you express an opinion, such as the idiot that called me the name of some right wing US jock. This just shows that people aren't thinking with their own brain or offering their own opinion, they've just been brainwashed into a thought process.

Its not matter of changing opinions, and I'd lower my opinion of you if you thought this was the objective of debate.

I just woke up from a nap to find that a spider had bit my hand while I was out. My right-index and middle finger knuckles are freaking huge.

I agree to that on some level. After reading that and thinking about it, all I can really do is ask, why havnt you said anything positive about cultures and societies, I mean that was at least a positive enough reply, and it did not insult anyone. Its a start.
We all live in the same world, hippie's do what they do and you do what you do and I do what I do, etc etc. What are these positive people doing agrivate you? They arnt fucking terrorists, their belifs arnt trying to do anything except better the world, and live free. How do you think life should be? Id go with those dopes anyday. If it werent for hippies and the like, we could all be stuck in a government rut. Its good we have hippies to balance things out. If there was no green peace, Im sure there would be lots more animals extict and dying species. Lots of land has been kept clear of the ever spreading industrialism. They help keep a part of the world that is so fucking hard to access. Its dying everyday. If we didnt have those goofy ******s to spread their beliefs and protect whats left of this free, natural world, we would all be misserable compared to how we are now. You dont think things would get worse? Or change much? Shit would get out of balance. You have to think about how there people and there desicions effect the world, not just you sitting at you computer. Good for you, you dont like them, but take some serious time and think about it buddy

I don't think your rationale is sensible.

I think that your opinion has been shaped by the tendency to rebel against those in power, ie the government, and side with extreme groups because you feel you it is essential to be extreme to make a difference.

Although your use of written language is good enough to present a fair analysis of your opinion and thoughts, you aren't looking at the bigger picture fully, although I will compliment you at least looking at a slightly bigger picture than most of the idiots that have posted so far.

Just think for a moment that if extreme groups didn't exist would public opinion and Government policy still be able to change? My feelings are that extreme groups are ineffective because people are sick of their Utopian approach to society and the 'peace is possible' ideal that is clearly delusional. When these groups, wuch as the hippies, come out and say something, rational people just switch off because they've heard it all before.

And btw Greenpeace are the worse than some of the companies they protest against.

Does anybody else hate those tree-hugging hippies that constantly protest and whinge about big business, human rights, women's rights, animal rights, plant rights, whateverelse rights, the environment, conservation, trees, whilst usually being no hoper weed smokers on the dole?

Hippies are gay but they do keep capitalism in check- something that is necessary in such a political economic system.

Whats so wrong about capitalism?

Please don't bother replying if you bring up non-factual socialist crap that has no rational economic basis.
