Hippie Hate Mail volume II

Here's some more drivel we at AHAL have received. These really paint a poor picture for the human race...


Some of the funnier hate-mails:

  • A girl who thinks we don't know what a stereotype is.
  • Some one who has to censor his use of the word "fuck".
  • A clearly homophobic hippie.
  • A fellow who thinks we just can't understand those who "don't conform to society's norms".

    What do you really have against 'hippies'? What, did you want to be one when you were younger and they wouldn't accept you into their group? Is that why you're showing hatred towards people you don't know? That's called 'prejudice', my friend. Want me to spell it our for you? P-R-E-D-U-J-I-C-E. Go look it up. I can see you're a busy person. Spending all of your time on an anti-hippie movement. Here's another word for you to look up: S-T-E-R-E-O-T-Y-P-E. So, all hippies are pot heads and slackers, huh? That's a *gasp*, stereotype. Wow, you're using your new vocabulary already. Good luck in the future, my friend. I hope you get a life.

    Peace

    Kristin

    Maybe you think you can beat me intellectually. You probably can, as I'm only 14. I'm young, but I'm very intelligent. I know how the world works. I understand things you probably think fly right over my head. I can see your interests include the world wide web and philosophers. My interests are more along the lines of great poets and writers.

    You are entitled to your opinion, as I am mine. My opinion is that you have a one track mind. You can't see what's right before your eyes. Life, to you, is all about politics, beating out everyone you can, and analyzing things until the point where they don't even exist. There is much more to living, my friend. Try to enjoy yourself. Try to look at the sky, the trees, the oceans, the birds and see how much of a miracle everything is. See how beautiful everything is. Try to use your imagination (if you have one). What you really need is someone to talk to. Someone that makes you smile and makes you forget about everything else in the world. Someone to make you happy.

    Peace

    Subject: Your web sight

    Dear Sir :
    I have found your anti hippie web sight to be offensive, and completely untruthful. I happen to be an extremely intelligent girl who thinks that peace, love, and happiness are very important things to our world. I hate to think that because of what some or most hippies do I'm a bad person. I don't do drugs I don't intend on doing drugs I just like the Grateful Dead. This isn't a hate letter it's just a letter to inform you that not all hippies are evil. Also I mean no personal offense by this I just want you and your fellow believers to understand that hippies played a vital part in our history without them who know what our world would be like. I'm not some freak who lives in a shack and doesn't take showers I'm a normal teenage girl. My parents friends and teachers seem to think that this is completely acceptable. I am no different from you I have my believes and you have yours I'm not saying that yours are wrong just that this isn't a black and white situation. I thank you for reading my email. I hope you will at least take into consideration what I have said. I understand your point and agree some hippies do dumb things but that to say they all do would be a generalization. I thank you for your time.
    Sincerely,
    Carrie

    Hello Hippie Hater:
    I bet your mother is a biracial sow with the intellegence of a fence post. Obviously she didn't raise you to be human. She raised you to be a son of a whore. Tell me this, What do you look like? How do you dress? Probably like a little bougie prep fag. I have long hair and your mother tells me she loves it every night after I give it to her in the ass. Come find me and I will whip your little preppie ass and any of your little faggot friends.

    listen up pal, we need to wipe people like you off the face of the earth, not hippies. Try relaxing, I'm not a hippie or anything, but they spread love and happiness and that's the way it should be, not dumb ass uneducated hillbillies like yourself.. The blood on your site is G.

    i'm drawing up a presentation for a socialogy class on the hippie culture and i thought i should know that i will be using some of your ideas, just to show how some people can't deal with people who don't conform to societys norms. i can't understand why you feel such hate for people that just wanted to love, sounds trite i know but its the truth
    you sir, are a mindless idiot with to much time on his hands...get a life

    Mr. Grouchy

    dont worry about the potty words they just make it more fun huh? Whats wrong with you? Why do you hate hippies and the Dead so much? You must have been molested by your parents or have no friends so you just do this with your spare time. Make a hate page? You are so tough.

    Have a Greatful day! :-) (Not a bad day) try again :-)

    Damn you MR. GRANBY,
    What has any ugly, longhaired smelly person done to you to make you speak so hatefully about all ugly long haired smelly people that you so pompously dub as "hippies"?
    Atleast I have enough repsect to not stereotype someones personality because of the way that they appear. Furthermore atleast I have enough respect not to curse you for being so terrible rude and insulting to the rest of humanity.
