They didn't dare call me anything. I am smack in the middle of 7 kids. I'm # 4. My 3 older brothers were pretty intolerant of anyone that "picked on" their baby brother and none of them were very nice people. My poor little sister, # 7 of 7 kids. The ONLY girl out of 7 and the youngest. To this very day, I wouldn't take that vicious bitch on with a chainsaw. The youngest with 6 older brothers......

I have 3 older sisters and 1 younger sister. Two older step brothers that would have given "Billy Jack" a run for his money. So I ended up as a scrappy mofo with a "Chivalrous" side. Nose broken several times defending the honor of a woman. In my defense, I bent a few faces myself back in the day.

I remember the Origional Hippies ( '67 - '73 - ish ) . Fashions , social trends , and politocal trends have all gone thru countless cycles since , and Hippy long since has had no meaning or context .

Sorry didn't make myself clear. It's not the old hippies that turn into Karens it's the children and then grandchildren trying to out wingnut the previous generation.
To be a true hippy, you needed to ; have long hair, a scraggly beard, wear a smelly tie dyed shirt, a peace medallion around your neck and red eyes from smoking too much pot. Oh, forgot to mention…hang around airports and naval bases and harass and throw things at returning servicemen.
BTW, they were still around in the 90s. Saw plenty of them during the anti-war protests against the first Gulf War. Balding, but still long hair,, the peace signs and tie died shirts , all the same except 20 years older.

i dunno..i'm still dealing with "beatniks".........What is ya'lls definition of one, mine is one that usually don't bathe, one that is a greeny and peace loving all the time. there are other things. The reason is people label one by the way they look. i get called a hippy by people that don't know me and usually they get set straight by the ones who do know me.
I take a bath most every night, lol cannot stand for my hair to be greasy and dirty even though it is down to my butt crack. I am not a peace loving SOB, i think the world is going to hell and it will take violence from the people to get it back. the politicians ain't gonna do jack crap.
I drive a loud deleted diesel with a fueling box that i can make black smoke so thick you can't see, so not a greeny. i have guns. at least two of them. rode with bikers back in the 70's and i don't mean no flower power dudes. Did i mention i have at least two guns?
raced moto x when i was a teenager and dirt cars when i was in my 20's all sucked gas by the loads and supposedly polluted the air. was even sponsored by a liquor store for a couple years
Far as i know from the late 60's and 70', hippies did not like any of those things. now i will say i did enjoy the hippy chicks back then. you know, free love and all.and no i did not have a harem like someone here. besides my wife got rid of all my pics like that when we married. she did ask first, what was i gonna say. lol
So does long hair automatically make me a hippy.? If so then Far Out Man.
betcha nonna yall never even heard of 'em...huh...huh....???
