7% hippie. Well, I do need a haircut right now, man. Peace.

I didn't see any gun related questions (i.e. Do you prefer an AK-47 to an AR-15?) so I skipped it. ;D
-
0%...
though if they legalize the ganja, I'd probably dig my old bong out of the garage...which would make me about 10% I'd guess...

You people don't know squat about Hippiedom ;D

Let's start with simple multi choice math questions.
1 - 6 Bullets + 6 bullets =
A - 12 bullets
B - 6 bullets
C - Not enough for a range trip
and the correct answer is ?

Well if you recycle (you know CONSERVative) then you are a hippie.
I noticed several things like this on the questionnaire. The thinking that only 'Hippies' (read lefties) care about the environment, or conservation, things like that. I answered using their mindset, that is how I got a '0'.
-
There is a difference between environmentalist and a conservationist....but you already know that.... ;)
Environmentalist:
- driven by ideology.
- wishes to preserve environment.
- outsider.
- radical.
- watchdog.
- superior/righteous.
- stereotyped as political activist.
Conservationist:
- looking for a practical solution to a particular problem.
- wishes to conserve the environment for current and future use.
- local.
- balanced and practical.
- pragmatic and solution-oriented.
- contributor to the community.
- stereotyped as a local duck hunter.
-
OMG 2% hippie
Ok, you conservative soul. Do you even believe in global warming? Loosen that necktie a little, and try some organic food. It actually does taste better. And go to a farmer's market--they're fun.
Ohhh the shame :o
-
4% hippy 96% a$$jolze
-
Far Out Man,....15% hippie,....Must have been that Uriah Heep, Grand Funk Railroad, Sly & The Family Stone reunion concert I went to. :P
(http://i296.photobucket.com/albums/mm182/twyacht/DennisHopper.jpg)
Did think Easy Rider was a good flick.... 8)
Let's see,....15% hippie, 85% American Red Neck, Gun Owning, God Fearing, Pissed off Voter. ;)
-
10% I am shocked. Shocked I tell you. I always thought I was a liberal, ;) ;D
Actually I was married and had kids before there were hippies -- I think. But I did live in California in the 60s and I have been to North Beach in San Francisco -- maybe that shouldn't count because I was wearing a suit and shined shoes.
-
0% hippie and I DO get pissed off when someone calls me one. Back in my Biker days I was called a hippie a couple times, told them in no uncertain terms that the only thing a hippie was good for was to use as a bad example of a human being.
-
Didn't take the test yet, but at the least I was probably a confused wannabe. Some of the answers would probably scare you, and me. Pax et amore! Spelling?
-
You are 86% hippie.
You have fully embraced the hippie image. You probably rock the dreadlocks, smell sweet like incense, and go barefoot as much as possible. People envy your ability to relax.
-
10%, probably over certain aspects of recycling, I don't recycle but reuse.
-
3% Not really sure how they determind that. The questions were sort of goofy.
-
Well 27% for me...Must have something to do with that Minor in Green Technology I have. Does wanting to use solor power mean I'm a conservative or just tired of paying the electric company??? Or does going to the local junk man first to look before I go to the retail store mean I'm either Freecycle or just cheap???
-
Well, since I'm an organic farmer, the 52% rating doesn't surprise me.
So.........yeah...I'm a hippie.
But....a well armed one. ;D
-

Thank heavens. If I got even 5%, I was going to go fire up the SUV and run over my neighbors organic herb garden for good measure.
I am proud of my rating.
-
Only 6% and I even recycle a lot :(! It must be because I think for myself and eat meat that I kill myself.
-
4%. I'm surprised I did that good. Bill T.
-
I'm 11% hippie. Yeah, Right.
-
0% hippie! Evidently I have reformed as I have aged. Around 10 years ago, I'd probably have been off the chart. At that time I was rockin' the shoulder length hair, tye dyes, and sandals. I always was a big fan of personal hygiene, however. 8)

Wait wait! I got a hippie story! So I'm in college at Florida State back in the Dawn of Time...I buy a crappy VW van (natch!) from a local guy and his 6 mutant sons for $300, American money. So a week after I FINALLY get all the used condoms cleaned out of the van — apparently a little added benefit — the former owner and about 3 of his sons show up and knock on the door of the 1954 Spartan travel trailer I lived in. I answer and am informed that $300 seems, in retrospect, a little light and that I needed to chip in an additional $100, American money, or they would pound me into hippie jelly. "Sure," I said as they held open the door and cracked their knuckles in happy anticipation. I only wish I thought of saying, "Cool dudes...be mellow..." or something appropriately hippie-ish. I go to my desk drawer, haul out my S&W Regulation Police revolver and announce to the clan that I can't seem to find any money, but they can have the van back if they'd agree to take back all the used rubbers.
"Well damn," said, Number 1 Son, "a hippie with a gun! Is that legal?"
"Well," said Dad, "it just ain't fair!"
I'm not a hippie, I said.
"If you don't shoot me and keep the van, do you promise not to mention the rubbers to my wife?" Dad said.
"I promise," I said. Not a word about the retro-van sex will ever pass my lips.
"Okay, then we're even," Dad said.

9%. But I can't help it... My parents were hippies. Dad says he still is.....
-
Finally took the quiz and from the perspective about 1970ish and what I was doing then. 38%. Thought I might have scored higher, but that was before I looked at the questions.

OMG they was singing about my wifes uncle!
My youngest daughter dubbed him Uncle Stoner lol.
When we go up north of state we stay with "uncle stoner" and his wife and in all seriousness love the guy to bits, poor bugger has MS these days but he still gets about on his polaris bike, has the best garden ever and has even given up the weed.
He has stories that amaze and confound me, like when he has served time, tried all sorts of pharmacueticals, joined hari chrishnas, etc. These days he has mellowed some what, time has caught up and past him by, and now he just is happy to exist in his own little corner of paradise. If I wasnt a dead set redneck I could become a hippie, as long as I could have guns ;D

What a bunch of wankers. I am a conservationist, and they tag me with this hippie crap for recycling? Hell, I wasn't a hippie when hippies were really around. OK, I dabbled in the whole free sex thing, and wore my hair long, but I am not and never was a damn hippie! >:(

Most of you have no clue what constitutes a "Hippie". Like the dumb asses that voted for Obummer, you "ass u me" with out any research.
Hippies started as an anti Authority movement, yes, they opposed the war in Vietnam, but they were primarily focused on resisting big government and what has become the Wal Mart society.
Most of the crafts, such as basket making and blacksmithing, weaving, dying, Herbalism, etc owe their continued existence to the Hippies, who were focused on self sufficiency and living off the grid.
Don't judge by Cali. That's where the queers, socialists and tree huggers went with their political agenda's, BS and propaganda.
The Hippies are mostly hunting, logging, and farming in Vt.
Yes I've been a hippie for 40 years , no matter what length my hair, and any one who has a problem with that can kiss my azz.

86% hippie.....
Thanks for defending me Tom!!

Shall we start a pool on FQ score? 45
FQ is back and rates an 18%. I think I rated that high as I said that a small tat or piercing was ok and they didn't give the option of "none of my business" when it comes to "earth based spirituallity". Still, about one part hippy, two parts redneck, one part "academic elitist" and one part just plain ornery SOB is a fair description. 8)

"Yes I've been a hippie for 40 years , no matter what length my hair, and any one who has a problem with that can kiss my azz."
Hippie ;D
So let me get this right Tom's the hippie and FQ is not? The world turned upside down.
Tom, I remember an article in the late 70's about some long haired guy being called a hippie. He informed them he was a mountain man and asked if they had a problem with that.
I prefer to think of you in that sense. I could not vote for a hippie for President.

As Tom said, you are working with a stereotypical definition of Hippie.
Give me a Hippie who believes in self reliance and working for what you want and in respect for self and others, and you've weeded out the downside of "Hippieism".
The rest is a basic belief in individual freedom and elimination of government control.
"Make Love not War" is a pretty good philosophy when you can do so without compromise.
I have not gotten a hair cut or shaved (some beard trimming for shape) in 19 months mainly because I don't need to conform to that image any longer.
A Hippie who is a realist? Yeah..I'd vote for them.
-
Solus,
I would say that's not a hippie.
If he his dog is chasing my horses because it needs to be free, that's a hippie.
When he tells my neighbor he can't burn leaves because it creates green house gases, he's a hippie.
When he gets upset because the coyotes eat his free range chickens but thinks we should just "relocate them," he's a hippie.
Same for the woodchuck that eats his organic herb garden.
When he thinks the energy in his hybrid sprang from unicorn farts and not a big TVA coal burning plant, he's a hippie.
When he is asking me to sign a petition to turn our county into sancuary city because they did it where he moved from and it was wonderful. Why did he move here then? It cost to much and the jobs went away. That's a hippie.
Like Charlie Daniels said, just leave the long haired country boys alone.

I went through the questions again and still can't get above a 7% hippie quotient....
As too the hair? I always had long hair until Sept of 75, boot camp.....since I got out, it's been all over the place, long, short, "Pincus" style...now, it's average length but it grows so fast I gotta get it out my face ever 5 or 6 weeks. Pony tail would be the norm for me but I work around machinery too much so, no long hair, no jewelry, nothing that can get caught on anything.
Organic food is rediculous, recycling is OK, I make my own news up as I go, smoke the ganja if you want, I would! ;)
Leave me alone and let me do with mine as I see fit and if someone doesn't like it? Tough shit... ;D
-
We pretty much agree.
All your examples show the elements I would have removed from the "Hippie Philosophy"
You can still have a major Hippie score without being the type of Hippie you dislike (and which is the common view of what a Hippie is)
I believe in the "Hippie Ideal", if you will, but with the reservations I've stated.
Take care.

Gee, you might not be a hippie, but you are (gasp), a libertarian. I know its hard to accept at first, but take a deep calming breath, a hit of single malt, and then walk proudly out of the closet. ;D

That is only half of the equation. The other half is letting others alone to do with themselves and theirs as they see fit.

It gets back to Confucius' version of the Golden Rule. Its one I like a lot better than the Christian one, though I have no plans to convert. Confucius say " Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you". To my mind extending negative liberties, ie. "Congress shall make no law", is a whole lot better than any positive gurantee of a right that someone else has to provide and which depends on state power to enforce.

Nope, that's someone who either has recently , or soon will be, beaten as soon as the potential witnesses leave.
