Poll question: Is calling somebody a hippie grounds for a beat down?
Edited on Sun Feb-04-07 11:25 PM by LeftyMom
flvegan was mocking the sprouts on my sandwich earlier. Apparently Mr. Stir Fried Tofu for His Dog thinks this makes me a hippie.

Is this a good excuse to kick his ass?

6. Damn Hippie

I once started a kick ass flame war when I stated that hippies dicouraged people from supporting liberal ideals and never accomplished their goals.

11. Hippies don't have goals
Unless it's to get a ride to the next Dead concert.

:hippie:

9. Anyone who keeps a carnivorous pet and feeds it a vegan diet...
really has no room whatever to be making comments about anyone else's eating habits (because really, that's just completely fucking absurd)

22. Animal Well-Being is Everyone's Business
Even flesh-eater and vegetarians get a bit alarmed about carnivorous companion animals being fed an inappropriate diet. Dogs can do well on a vegetarian diet since their digestive tracts can deal with an omnivorous diet, but obligate carnivores like cats suffer and die on them. Now, I have no doubts at all that original subject treats his companion extremely well and feeds him (her?) an appropriate and healthy diet and my reply is not meant to impugn him in any way, but I also understand the follow-up poster's concerns.

12. You are at a crossroads Grasshopper.
Admistering a beat-down will mean forever more you are not a hippy. Hippys bong down not beat down.

15. No one thing is ever grounds for a genuine beat-down
If a person deserves one, than any excuse will do, but if they are not beat-down-worthy, then their transgressions should be forgiven.

(To be honest, having seen recent pic threads, it makes me a bit nervous to think of anyone trying to give that Floridian muscle-mound a beat-down...)

16. How about if I just tickle him without mercy instead?
I guess that's revenge enough.

17. Without mercy? That seems reasonable.
But remember - merciless tickling means feet, back of knees, belly, and underarms all get attacked - and it doesn't stop until the laughter-tears flow...

Have fun!

19. Define "hippy".
Does he mean fat in the ass or the people that thought Viet Nam was a suckfest and strip mining was raping mountains?

21. Hell...I'd take it as a compliment.

I've always wanted to be a hippie, but never really had the chance. Also, not many hippies listen to hip-hop, reggae, r&b, soul, jazz, merengue, and salsa....or maybe I'm incorrectly stereotyping.

24. Incorrect stereotyping
We listen to all that.
Also bluegrass,zydeco,calypso and world music.
Hell,A hippie festival I go to has an allnight polka dance tent!Polka,of all things!

The only requirment hippies require is that It have room for improvisation and has to be danceable.
