Why do hippies exist in America

Posternutbag1981 Permalink
"The Phish play for a younger, more innocent crowd less concerned about social activism and more preoccupied with a sarcastic disdain for conformity. The songs revolve around the absurd, yet still force the simpleminded to celebrate self-indulgence and radical consumerism. For fans of The Phish, life is about expressing an identity through purchasing "green"¯ products and watching adult cartoons. They will abuse drugs and frustrate their parents, but never enough to land in jail or lose their allowances (even into adulthood). Masturbation and LSD are also shockingly common in this crowd. For your average Phish concert-goer, it's not uncommon for them to awake in odd circumstances (at the side of a road, wallet emptied and their body covered in bruises, for example) with no recollection of what transpired the night before. This cycle of amnesia is what keeps them coming back for more shows as they try to figure out what they could have possibly done to themselves."

CanYouStillHaveFun That website is the greatest thing ever, I must be a marijuana addict because I find more enjoyment in Phish's "meaningless strumming" that that of christian rock.

Frizz What's worse then a hippy? A metal head.

"They have perverted medical science and our legal system to such an extent that deadly street drugs like marijuana are now decriminalized and available to our children at any bus stop."

AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

"They will take great delight in speaking of concerts or even attending them, though their range of performers is quite limited and rarely goes beyond the bands The Grateful Dead and The Phish. When they discuss these two bands, they will invoke grandiose tones as if they're touring the Louvre or witnessing a Puccini opera. Drugs are an essential component to enjoying this sort of music, for it contains very few discernable lyrics and enjoyable beats. Rather, it is like an improvised jazz solo with the lowest quality acoustical instruments pumped through a sound system purchased at a toy store. There are screams and shrieks and depressing sessions of drum beatings that never seem to end."

Uh.MAZE.ing.

Frizz "Spending all their time in this balmy, criminal world, they know nothing of hard work. Instead, the adult hippie will resolve every complex life dilemma with a bong hit. Whether it’s at music concerts, watching television shows or even on the internet, they float by in a perpetual “purple” haze seeking highs from nudity and corporeal violation, profanity and slovenliness, entirely divorced from manliness and decency."

Now that one is funny.

"As a group, they are the chief proponents of public nudism in this country. Possibly due to their immense consumption of psychedelics, they take great pride in showing off their unathletic, unshaven bodies at beaches, camps and even in our village squares. Why must they flaunt all that shamelessness and frighten the goodly amongst us?"

#1. Everybody loves nudity. If you say you don't, you're just repressed.
#2. "Unathletic" is not even a word.
#3. I shave. Some parts.
#4. If being happy with my body makes me "un-goodly", then "bad guys wear black!!!"

"How can we risk all the tremendous gains we have made as a people humble before our Great God if these sickening creatures are allowed to prey on children, to slither down our streets, to congregate on our town squares, naked and high? America, today I ask you to wise up and make sure we don’t take this risk!"

I love being naked and high!!!

With all grammatical errors aside. This is just sheer "christian" stupidity

ggergm At 18 I had a "born again" experience that is still meaningful to me today. In college, that hard-core Christianity faded in favor of other life experiences, including being a Deadhead. Occasionally, waiting for a show, a proselytizer will come down the line, spreading his or her Christian faith. My standard line to them is, "At one point I believed in Jesus. Later I believed in LSD. Now I believe in both." If that doesn't get them to move on, they usually say they'll pray for me. I ask if we can pray together, asking God to forgive both of us for our sins. Somehow, I've never had anybody take me up on that offer. Too bad. These folks need Redemption.

I always hate it when people categorize you by the music you listen to. I listen to Phish and The Grateful Dead and I'm not a radical hippie living in a commune dropping acid all day. I also listen to to hip-hop as well, doesn't mean I'm going to join a gang and start selling drugs. I just don't get why we can't listen to the music for what it is and enjoy it and not always being stereotyped by society.

ChristWire is most certainly fake. It's a parody of Christian groups that might say similar things.

You never know. You hear the most crazy things from groups like that and they are dead serious. Its like the "Big Lie" theory. Say things that are so far out there, people don't even take it seriously at first. Then you keep repeating and repeating, and eventually its taken as fact.
