What's wrong with hippies? They were for peace, love and happiness. What's wrong with that?

Hippy is short for Hypocrite.
They were phonies, blowing away the prosperity the previous generation had acquired for them in tough times. It was a misogynistic society with the men posing as "the planners against the establishment" and the women barefoot and pregnant providing the food the sex. "Free love" my arse the pill meant that women were now a free for all for any horny bastard and his friends to screw (and screw over) what they wanted not hampered by the consequence of pregnancy.
The change they claim would have occurred just as well without them but they did was to wreck a lot of what was good. They brought the drug culture, scheisse music and most of all to this day they perpetuate and glamourise that myth; a past that never was.

They caused a lot of damage and it was just another fashion with the behaviour was fashionable then: protesting against bleedin' everything, just because it was the thing to do to not be square. Claiming that the young generation is the one that has the true vision, and when they were no longer young, they changed in their hippy garb for some every day square attire, started to become the upper crust of the system they riled against so hard before, cashed big time and blocked the young generations after them from what they themselves claimed back then.
Cliche-ridden hypocrites to the core.
Worse still, they spawned a whole new generation of even worse arseholes: hipsters and SJWs.

I'd almost agree with the punks in their dislike for hippies but I hate punks as well as they are just a 70s anti social version of hippies, and also glamourise their past to mythical proportions.

Having cleansed myself of hippies, back to the "Silent running" thread.

It's one of my aims to build models of the drones



The ship itself I leave to others who have the dedication for that. Then again it covers to subjects: "Silent running" (Botanical Cruiser) and "Battlestar Galactica" (BSG Agro Ship)


For those interested in the build here's a link to the build-log (remember I am NOT the builder).

Didnt Paul Newman as a private eye have to go and track down a girl from some mad hippy temple once?
Or was that Charles Bronson?
Maybe it was both in different films?

This is nothing but a lot of hostile crap. Exactly what the hippies were reacting against.

good spot. Bronson definitely had one too. Trying to think - may have been Stone Killer but dont think so.
Maybe Marvin had a visit to a hippy temple too?
It seemed to be the place back then where scriptwriters put girls who were trying not to be found.

You invert cause and effect.

But back to the film; I remember from Cinefex a remark that the film crew hated to be alone in the navy ship used to shoot interiors because they felt certain sections were haunted.

I would have been more scared of having to drive the specially built

The short wheelbase negates any safety comming from how low they sat, and no roll bars to boot!

You mean those hippy mobiles like the Banana Splits rode? Groovy, baby. Gifts from our corporate overlords that want to keep us subservient, docile, and above all... dumb. Right, D.C., my fellow drone?

All this debate makes me long for the good old days of Studio 54.
Good times. No responsibilities.

Aren't those the same buggies used in Space 1999 to?
