I was interested to see the hot debate over the hippy fighter page.

I have been called a hippy - I'm very evironmentally aware
and involved in conservation ecology - and I pursue a bohemian lifestyle. It boggles me how people can take offence to the hippy fighter idea. I love satire, and believe that it is funniest when one personally can identify with it. No-one should ever take themselves too seriously, and laughing at ones' self is very important.

To all those people who protested, I respect your concern about the page, but I really don't think the creators of the "hippy fighter" were trying to degrade the hippy lifestyle, or to make people disrespect hippies.

In fact, have you considered the fact that the creators of this sight could be hippies themselves? The fact they chose to create "hippy fighter" (as opposed to, say, "senior citizens" fighter or "christian fighter" ) shows that they have an interest in hippies, which could be because they themselves are such.

Anyhow, I thought Hippy Fighter was hilarious and ingenious, and being a hippy myself, I enjoyed it just that little bit extra.
