Hippie Hate Mail volume II

And another batch of the latest. Hippies really seem to like AOL. Just goes to show what corporate whores they can be.


Some of the funnier hate-mails:

  • Someone concerned the Tactics might kill a hippie.
  • The use of Ayn Rand as a defence. Strange for a hippie...
  • Another who thinks only right-wingers hate hippies.
  • A fellow who Pat Robertson would love for his fine American ideals. We didn't realize hippies could be such blind patriots too.
  • If we only needed one letter to show hippie stupidity, this would be it.

    Subject: this shit is sick

    dude somebody is going to actually try to do some of this sick shit and they are going to get themselves killed, have their ass beat up, or put into jail.even if u r playing and dont mean any of the shit about killing people u need to think about those stupid people in this world that will actually do stuff like that.if i was in your situation i wouldnt think there are any people out there like that.i didnt think that about of alot of things but it turns out that i am friends with people like that.they dont hate hippies and they are not hippies themselves but they still arent as sick as you are.if some dude came up behind me and cut off my hair i would take the scissors from him and shove them right into his stomach.and when someone tries to blow up a bunch of hippies and is carted off to jail i'll laugh.but selling poisoned drugs and shit that is just cowardly.that shows u cant even be a man and go after a hippie even with a baseball bat like u suggested.u r one sick ass bastard.and i hope somebody fucks up if they try to do some of this shit and get killed all because of you.suck it.

    Now, I realize this will probably end up in your hate mail post, and that you will probably will be making fun of it, but............are you serious?
    Would you condemn Jesus? He had long hair and worked for peace and harmony with nature (not that I'm implying that either one of us subscribe to the beliefs surrounding him). What about Einstein, or Thoreau?
    Believe it or not, but not all "hippies" do drugs and glom off of others. Yes, there are a few that do, but generally "hippes" good natured people looking for a way to bring humanity together. Of course you can believe what you want, that's one of the few good things about this country, but you can't tell someone else how to live their lives or what to think. That's just being truly ridiculous. Don't bother us, we won't bother you.

    Peace, and have a nice day.

    Subject: Anti-Hippie CRAP!

    Wow... you really amaze me on just how full of CRAP people can be....Are we honestly running out of people to hate and bully? I do not understand why people in this world must continue to degrade or slander one group of people because of something they do, how they live or what they believe. Good God... so us so called "hippies" in which I believe were in the 60's anyways, God forbid we try to live our lives happier everyday by spreading a little peace and love....if it weren't for people like "us" so you like to call ...I'd have to believe that the world would no longer exist....oh and I really love that Tactics page....good creative thinking.... but no matter what those really volient crap... you just go ahead and attempt them and you bet that you and your ignorant and bullheaded "friends" will end up in jail somewhere. All I really have to say is that first off, just because you smoke pot and have long hair does not by any means classify you as a "hippie" and secondly, what you are doing now will come back to you TEN FOLD-- whether it be here, heaven or hell...

    Have an AWESOME day...
    Give someone a hug-- oops i'm sorry you might immediately go into "Cardiac arrest" as you put it on your nice handy TACTICS page....

    Subject: Please do not delete this honest inquiry

    I would like to start off with a disclaimer--I am not a hippie. Just merely curious. Ok, so I was sent the link to your site by a really pissed off hippie. After exploring a little (ie the guestbook, skimming a few essays, etc) I am quite confused. I understand your dislike for hippies, especially the appearance factor--pure grime. But with regard to your assumption that the entire hippie movement is based on stupidity, I'd have to say that I disagree. First of all, like any significant cultural movement the original hippies formulated the ideals that they wished to live by. In response to the disillusionment of war and the time period in which they were living they rebelled against the 'establishment' by following their own credo. They recognized the importance of life, love, and the world in which they lived (nature--oh and by the way, it is beyond me how you can smugly denounce the importance of the world in which you live--why ignore the earth and perpetrate the destruction of your home???) Now, I respect the idealism of the hippie (or the original hippie intellect), but I do understand how you could denounce the blind followers. But isn't it true that most of the world follows blindly? how many people truly think for themselves and live a life governed by their own thinking/needs/beliefs?? The world is full of 'second-handers' (you ever read fountainhead by ayn rand??) and i just don't understand why you choose to hate the followers of this movement, why not hate them all--and if you do, then i'm sorry that your life is going to be a very long and weary journey. I have very little respect for people who do not think for themselves, but hating does not seem worth the energy or commitment. And if there is one thing to be learned from hippies (or anybody with any sense) violence is completely ridiculous. and if you must hate, why not hate the blind followers of your own little movement, rest assured that they will listen/follow whatever you say as long as they feel a part of something, besides the fact that hating/putting other people down is one of the surest ways to falsely feel a sense of self-worth.

    So, I'm sorry if this was absurdly long, but I guess I felt the need in some way to respond to the initial shock I felt when coming across your hate site. If you would like to respond to my inquirious ranting, please do. sincerely,
    Lauren.

    I actually like your site. I think it's realy funny and I like diversity, I'll add a link to it on my site. B/t/w, do you have short spiked hair, wear army print, love hunting, want to join boot camp, carrya gun/knife, or have a shirt that says, "hey bubba lets go kill something?" Just curious. I'm not a hippie but I love the culture. I'm an open minded neo-pagan. Even worse hu? I'm also a comedian. Well, peace!!!!!!

    Subject: Hmmm...

    Wow....a good laugh huh? Well coming from what you love to hate a "hippie" in which I do not like to claim the title b/c yes it is something that developed 30 years ago. Something that was in a total OTHER generation therefore you cannot possibly begin to hate something that no longer exists-- other than those "old hippies" My my... I must say I enjoyed a good chuckle from your page! I'm not going about this in a rude crude way like most of the other people who write to you...I'm not criticizing on anything because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just feel that I had to relay my feelings to the HEAD MASTER of this magnificent little HATE organization...note that much sarcasm is intended there. Oh and on that note about "hippie's with PhD's," my my you must not get out much....as you so like to call these "hippies" I know quite a few who obtain various successful titles such as "PhDs" But what I really want to know is what exactly brought you to your conclusion that "hippie's" are bad? I mean really, since they are usually being sterotyped as kind, loving and friendly people for all these years, what could they have possibly done to you to create such a negative response? I've never really heard of such an extreme organization to hate "hippies" like this. Are you a branch off of the KKK or what? You should see about getting a show on Springer-- Good ratings you know. And really...I'd love to see this wonderful research you have found on "hippies" I never knew they were such a researchable group of people. Oh and about the HIPPIE HORROR gallery, nice stereotypes...I know tons of these "hippies" and none are knocked up nor do they make their kids run around naked. Do you believe in God? I'm guessing you don't because it would only seem logical for a "Christian" to not hate anyone because of their beliefs, lifestyle or race. I myself am Non-Denominational, and if you are so open minded, why must you focus so much hatred on these people? Open-mindedness tends to leave a little room for tolerance you know? I seriously doubt that you are more intelligent than all of these "hippies" you should really get to know one. They are some of the most fascinating, intriguing, intelligent and loving creatures on the face of this planet in which will soon be empty if people of your type go on looking for reasons to throw this hate upon "different" people. Each and every one of the people on this planet is different, why criticize on something you cannot understand?

    Inquiring minds would like to know....
    Thanks for your time..

    You are one of the most stereotypical individuals i have EVER had to deal with. You automatically label all supposed hippies as "stupid middle class white kids without a high school education" And it makes you so much better just because you are in grad school? Don't make me laugh. I am only a freshman at college. That's because im only 18. So you are automatically better than everyone just because you already went through 4 years of college(probably took you about 7) and got into grad school? I don't think so. I guess you could label me as a "hippie" I go to Phish shows because their music is wonderful, but your not open-minded enough to realize that. I have been smoking pot and occassional other drugs for a few years, and gee, it hasn't affected me one bit! I was at the top of my class in high school, along with many of my "hippie" friends. I am already on the deans list here at college, and will be attending medical school in a few years. And i am not alone in this world to be like I am. So take all of your hate for the "peace loving hippies" and find some other way to branch out at society. You have to be a real winner in life if you spend all your time lashing out at people you dont like. So keep your opinions to yourself. thank you. --

    Wow, you're dumber than advertised......I just visited your lame site, and got a pretty good laugh out of it......

    The "Anti-Hippie Action League"? When's the comic book coming out? Now I've seen everything.......obviously someone has a lot of time on their hands over the weekends......(if you take my meaning).......

    Personally, I'd like to see things your way, but I can't fit my head that far up my ass......you seem to have some kind of mental problem......

    I do hope you know that there is a general opinion that your site is a big joke, and not taken seriously. Hippies across the world laugh at your futile attempts at trying to "feel good about yourself"......

    My problem isn't so much that you're against hippies (whatever floats your boat - loser), but you went right out and totally dissed the Grateful Dead and Phish. NOW THAT'S CROSSING THE LINE!!!! I'm sure you're basing it all on stereotype too - very mature of you. I'm no expert, but something tells me that the college student from Wisconsin doesn't have a leg to stand on, insulting bands that have achieved much more success than he'll dare to hope for.......

    In spite of your lame site, I think I'll now go put on some tie-dye, sit in the shade, and jam to some Hendrix and Phish........and watch the clouds float by........peace man.....

    KrazyJoe.....

    P.S. I'm sending you a nice picture along with this E-mail that you'll just love (you would classify it as "hippie-art")......hope you enjoy.......mellow out man......lol.....lol.....

    P.P.S. This is getting so damn funny.......could you send me back a reply, so that me and my friends can get a good hard laugh? We're getting a big kick out of your silly little "Anit-Hippie Action League" thing. It's hilarious (and stupidly) funny. I'd appreciate it......lol.....

    I am a 29 year old midwesterner. I have worked the same job for the last ten years and I can tell you I am not a hippie ....they are so dirty...well anyway I just wanted to let you know I think the owners of this site are rather creative. I have also got to say that you are a people with many issues. You're parents should be proud. I bet they beam with pride. When your Mothers had you I bet they said " I want this little bastard to grow up and spread the word of hate." Man do I feel sorry for you people growing up like that and all, I mean it's not your fault you turned out to be idiots...thats what happens when you are raised by idiots. I guess its kind of a chain reaction. Well as for the hippie issue they have their own problems ...as for you people a good psychiatric session would do some good so try and pry yourselves out of that trailor, turn off the sattelite....tell your dad to get off your sister....grab one of the junk cars in the weeds out front, pull it off the blocks and head to the closest mental hospital......oh, and do'nt forget to put in your teeth....

    Do'nt even think about mailing back......I do'nt even own a computer ....losers :)

    Granby,
    I question what your definition of a "hippie" is. Is it someone that uses psychadelics or has liberal viewpoints or has long hair or smells or is stupid or is for peace? Is it all or just some of those characteristics? There seems to be some extreme stereotyping going on here. Lemme see here, I have short hair, shower regularly, I'm in grad school, I'm well read, I believe in equality and peace if possible and yes, I do like Phish and similar bands. Do I fit under your profile of a "hippie"? One more thing, yes, there are many pseudo-wannabee trendy hippy types out there, they are often hypocritical, but that shouldn't overshadow the fact that there are decent, thoughtful, liberal individuals out there.
    My 2 cents, -dave

    I am glad to see that you're education is doing you some good. Your wealthy parents money was far from squandered on your big head. You have a much more positive influence on our society than the masses of hippies who stage non-violent protests against those who destroy our environment. Your mind is so pure that you have trancended the loveless life of your upbringing. It must have been difficult going through life with such a mental disadvantage but i am happy to see that you are making your intelligence known to the world. My your hardships be many, and frequent my friend

    BTW mr. Grad student that is not much of an accomplishment when you don't put it to any good use and if your degree is from the university of wisconsin thats not much to boast about either.

    BTW2 what are your musical interest? Wait, let me guess, is it one of these bands...
    Marylin Manson
    Hanson
    Aerosmith
    N-sync
    Puff Daddy
    This email shows how little hippies know about other sub-cultures. We would ask if he's ever heard of John Cage, John Zorn or something like Japanese experimental underground rock, but why waste precious bytes?

    Whatever, I refuse to continue arguing with someone of subhuman intelligence like yourself. Go back to your sick, twisted little bubble that you live in and stay there. Tolerant intelligent people don't need morons like yourself in society.
    Don't say that I know nothing about Hitler, you know nothing about my educational background (which I feel absolutely no need to disclose to you). So don't make quick assumptions like that. Hippie is just as much an ideology as the republican or democratic ideologies. As for blind acceptance, I know what "hippies" are and what they stand for. Don't make assumptions about what I know and what I don't know. I'm not "crying hate crime." I'm disagreeing with you. Your website is not a crime and your beliefs are not crimes, until you start expressing them violently. I have just as much of a right to disagree with you as you do to post your anti-hippie site (even if your leftist stomach can't handle that).

    Have a nice life, full of hate and all things evil...

    We could untie you and go running around naked!

    I want to feel the earth and the wind in my hair... How can you say I'm wrong?

    I bet you have a new car. New cars have stuff sprayed in them to make people spend more.

    I wish I could help you people, but I know that everything is groovy even when its grumpy like you. I love you brothers and sisters and now I'm going to smoke a bunch of pot and sing out loud to 30 year old records about the revolution and make out with my old lady on the frontporch... 420!
