Frank, do you need a hug?

You tell that stupid FAQ FrankJ, he's just out to get you.
Like all those doctors.

Hmmm. This weekend I had the pleasure of spotting some Code Pink hippies. One walked right in front of my car.

Do you have any protocol on what to do should my right foot accidentally slip from the brake pedal next time this occurs?

Pickles?

A wise man said, "That's why god gave them faces."

"Occasionally they have mass migrations to city areas to work as a large group ?"

Nuh uh.

If a man wants to be a real man he should not worry about getting his hands dirty now and then! Sure, punching a hippy will put some dirt and smell on your knuckles but so will sticking your foot up some pricks ass when he needs a foot up the ass! That’s what knuckles, soap and water were all made for and if you are a man and don’t like it, then Hillary has already won. Your’s has been cut-off and thrown away so go punch yourself and stay away from the rest of us…

Hey, man, I mean, like, man, hippies are not zombies with bad hygiene, man. Like, dude, that's cool, we got brains and ideas about the world, man. And wow, like Obama is like a black hippie with short hair, man.

Michelle Obama is a brave heroic woman. She not dumb like the us military destroying right wing republickers. You incompetent republicans people never should have been put in charge of our troops.

Also, Neo-Hippies like to gather around small, non corporate coffee shops; usually around the hours of 9 to 5. This is when they will receive the best service since everyone else is at work. For stress relief during the work day, go to the nearest coffee shop and punch everyone there. If they aren’t a hippie then they’re a slacker and getting what they deserve anyway.

#9 Informer:

Did you even read the article? Or did you take what you wanted justify your lame position, and show off your ignorance of the military. First problem was those surveyed were officers. Ask anyone who has worn a uniform and they'll fill you in, but I digress. Let’s go off the presented material.

*56 percent of the officers disagree that the war has "broken" the military (More than half surveyed says this!)

*The officers have "an overwhelmingly negative view" of many of the early decisions shaping the Iraq war, but most believe the present U.S. counterinsurgency strategy and troop increases are good omens for success in Iraq (You might have skipped this)

*At the same time, 64 percent of the officers believe morale in the military remains high.

Next time the CNN wants to find out how the Military really is they should be asking the Command Sargent Majors. They'll get a completely different view. Since NCO's normally get their info from real world experience. Not MSNBC.

Interesting that the google ad I got on your page was for freepeople dot com, which looks like a clothing store FOR hippies.

Yes, Nate... hippies are very good at spending their parents' money. In fact, Frank is damn near a genius for taking advantage of their undeserved sense of entitlement in order to promote his equally effective punching agenda.

Informer (hippie):

If your point is that the war in Iraq has stretched the military too much to fight another major war at the same time, is your conclusion then that we should pull out of Iraq?

If so, then we should never fight any good-sized war, since it would leave us unable to fight another one at the same time. Or else it means that defense spending is too low.

Which is it?

Hey, so you're advocating violence against other human beings. Interesting. But I guess you need to dehumanize those people by calling them "hippies" first?

Kind of like telling people it's okay to do violence against "the blacks" or "the Jews".

I'm glad that people with your mentality represent such a small and insignificant slice of humanity.

I'd never leave a child alone with you.

Hey!!! THAT IS UNCALLED FOR. We would never promote violence against blacks or jews, unless they were hippies. Then it's okay.
We also condone violence against Asians, Hispanics, Croats, Uzabecks, Gays, Zulus, Slavs, and Eskamos ONLY if they are hippies. Besides, how can you comment on this.. Have you ever tried it? Why don't you try it first before you condem us for it. It's fun for the whole family!

No, no, no, Truth Teller. You completely misunderstand. You see, punching hippies is a normal state of life. It transcends gender, ethnicity, race, and sexual orientation. We're just providing them with what they need. Bruises.

Um, Frank, thanks for the faq, but I have one more question. I live in Southern California, and my arms always get tired from punching hippies because there are just so many of them around here. Is there a way to keep my arms from getting so tired? I've tried kicking hippies, but then my legs get tired. Can I just run into them like a fullback blocking a linebacker for the tailback? Will I be penalized for chop blocks and clipping? Sorry, I guess that was three more questions.

So, thanks to this blog and the resulting hippie commentary, we've learned that hippies can be identified by the following:
wierd clothes
bad smell
overdeveloped sense of entitlement
bruises about the face
dirty hair
astounding lack of sense of humor

Obviously someone missed the lecture on "teh funny" . This is a "humor" site. It's not REAL. No one is advocating the actual abuse of hippies, unless they're really smelly, dirty and obnoxious.

Ok never mind.

Well, I used to hate "the hippies" too. I was young. Sort of immature. They pissed me off.

However, last I checked virtually every government in the world is implementing policies that the "hippies" advocated over four decades ago. Recycling, more efficient energy use, a more moderate attitude about pot, tolerance towards different types of sexuality, more tolerance, more tolerance, more tolerance and lots and lots and lots of diversity.

And that's just for starters. One example: Since Ireland made college and health care completely free, over a decade ago, their economy has BOOMED! The "hippies" were advocating that years ago. Now, the governments and corporations of the world are adopting their ideas. They make sense.

No wonder you're so frustrated. No wonder you hate "hippies" so much.

Live with it, Hummer mutant. The times they are a changing indeed. See the light or you'll be left behind, with nothing but anger and ultimately violence as a response. (Like Al-Qaeda.)

Your kids, in one way or another, will one day also be agreeing with "the hippies". Get used to it.

Best to you, brother.

Truth Teller, you have a good argument, and while we tease you, im sure most of us respect you for your views, even if we disagree with them. The problem with the hippies is that they pretty much want someone to baby them. The Nanny state that they strive for may work around the world, but not in America. We're just set up different overall, and the differences between the US and the rest of the world are the reasons people have for centuries flocked to the United States as the Land of Opportunity. They left their respectable homelands to come here, why are we going to turn our nation into what they tried to leave? its not supposed to be that way. Im not saying you're less of an American because you believe the best course of action for our Great Nation is different from what i believe it is, i just think that those hippies were wrong then, and they're wrong today and will be wrong tomorrow. that doesnt mean that people wont follow them, it just means they're, well, wrong.

Oh, and if you cant trust me with a child, thats cool. hire a baby sitter and help some young girl pay for college...where she can punch hippies

Exactly why hippies suck, answer number 2:

"are not happy until they prevent other people from being useful as well"

This is the only real work they do. They will work real hard to try to ban things that help you go about your days work.

A little late to join in but: Truth Teller, nothing is free when it is payed for with taxed dollars. The only reason Ireland has a booming economy is the tax cuts enacted some years back to reverse the negative effects of high taxes. Sound familiar? On the down side, Ireland is now importing Islamic workers at a rate that would shame our Hispanic invaders.

Comment on #21 by Truth Teller
Free college and health care does not make an economy BOOM there brainwave. How about you check on the revamped tax system that was implemented there before making outlandish remarks that hippies are smart people who get things accomplished. I am a recovering hippie, most people who actually took the time to grow up are.

Going to Santa Fe today, Hippies beware....

Last time I looked it was the hippies that sold out and finally joined civilized society. Most of them learned that "free" love was never free, one pays with STD's, AIDS, abandoned children, and destabilized families. Peace is NEVER free, it's bought and paid for by those willing to give the ultimate sacrifice. Drugs have killed at least as many as have died in the war on terror, and will continue to do so until people learn to take responsibility for their lives and actions.

Finally anarchy is not a form of government and as they hippies continue to age they will become more and more dependent on someone to care for them. Where the money is going to come for this (since families were too old fashioned for these elevated thinkers) I don't know. Those of us who go to work everyday I guess

Go figure

Doesn't punching hippies also increase life force?

I still don't understand why there is a link to pickles.

I can honestly say that hippies do smell, and BAD.

The largest concentration (protest?) of hippies outside of San Fran is in Boulder, CO. Unfortunately, I am in Denver.

The last time I walked down Pearl Street in Boulder, I was almost overcome with the smell of B.O. Do these people not know they stink? Wow! It wasn't even summer!

Hippies are real?
