I ask because my BFF boyfriend is this stereotypic"hippy" kinda a guy, hes all about love etc but i actuallity he sits at home all day smoking pot and making taffy to sell at the local flea markets and fairs (btw hes a nice guy and I LOVE TAFFY) Listens to the grateful dead etc i mean hey to each his own hes a nice guy..
So i am askin anyone to explain to me the positive side, I am ignorant to the culture other than whats portrayed in movies etc. Becuz I have only seen the negative of this sub-culture. They was gratedul dead show in then arena where I work and I got the worst impression of these people. They were panhandling and smelled really bad (again forgive for me for being ignorant but i am just describing what i saw and what it made me think)
Also they were walking around with there fingers up in the air?? What doeas that mean?
I just think automatically they are people who are lazy,do a lot drugs,do nothing contructive for society.
So please am admitting to be prejudice we all are at first so can someone explain to me what there all about?
Please dont give a bunch of nasty answers calling me names for judgin someone on a first impression at least I can admit and want to educated myself on a group of people.
Its hard for me to not look at them in a negative light, it seems they preach love and peace but again make no real effort ot better themselves or society.
They condone war and the military yet mock those who die and fight so they can.. well mock them....
