Question about flower children/hippies...?

I don%26#039;t mean to offend anybody here, but are people who associated themselves as being a hippie back in the 1960s and 1970s more likely to have a mood or personality disorder then people who rejected the hippie movement?





What about people who were hippies back then and still are today?
Question about flower children/hippies...?
I was a young flower child. And yes, I think I%26#039;m crazier than most people I%26#039;ve met!





I wouldn%26#039;t blame it on being a hippie, though. I blame it more on the transition from traditional %26quot;mom-in-the-house-dad-the bread-winner%26quot; to %26quot;i-am-woman- watch-me-ruin- men-and-children%26quot; attitudes that happened during my childhood and adolescent years.





And the mind-altering substances contributed, too! ;-)
Reply:On one hand, you had the long-haired hippies in sandals who believed in Gandhi and global love and peace and skinny-dipping and tolerance and equality and homegrown pot. On the other hand, you had the anal hypocritical fearful folks with white plastic pocket protectors and black-rimmed glasses (for spottin%26#039; commies and pinkos), who believed in Nixon and intolerance and the Viet Nam war and napalm and superiority and greed and the missionary position (except with their mistresses) and racism (no Blacks in TV commercials, PLEASE! Eeeeeeeew!) and sexism (A woman who wants a college degree is a dyke!) and nationalism and ulcers and %26quot;make-a-pharmaceutical-company-rich%26quot; Valium. I assure you, the only mood or personality disorder that came out of those times didn%26#039;t come from people who wrote or listened to music like the Beatles.

Reply:Each generation has its iconic behavior. The %26quot;flappers%26quot; of the %26quot;Roaring Twenties%26quot;, where men were treated to seeing a glimpse of the knees. Young women took up a cigerette (from a lengthy stem, no less). Then there were the college goldfish swallowers, a mental group if ever there was.


Today, we are treated to engravings of every sort and color from every part of the human body, metal punctured through every part imaginable, hair in metalic shades (some not of this planet), hair imitating porquipines, and cats in terror, hair in the form of shredded and abandoned rope, and, on either or any sex, hair that isn%26#039;t.


People roam about in what used to be considered underware. Boys and young men wear pants that would fit conjoined triplets-without a belt! Caps sideways; backwards; watch caps in the heat of July and heavy coats; shoes UNTIED.


The observable mental defects can all be attributed to youth. It is a time when the feeling is to %26quot;strike out on ones own%26quot;; to be ones own self, yet at the same time needing to fit in (%26quot;conform%26quot; is the word).


Each generation feels abuzz with idealism, and, thus, gets caught up in the mass enthusaism for change. The easy manifestation occurs superficailly at the surface. So the extemes erupt to %26quot;flag%26quot;, %26quot;I%26#039;m with it%26quot;.


This is not to say that significant changes aren%26#039;t steered by each generational flux. The hippy movement, for example, created great momentum in the way of consceousness; of the earth; of others rights; and of self and health, with better food. It can equally be faulted as being the epicenter of the downward spiral in sexual immorality, with all its ensuing hazards and costs in every way.
Reply:They had personality disorders that made them %26#039;join%26#039; the hippie movement to begin with. Also brain malfunctions. Most males were delighted to find such %26#039;enlightened%26#039; females who were tricked into the free %26#039;love%26#039; movement. I don%26#039;t think the girls have figured it out yet.!!skin disease
