Let's see here. If I support shoes, hippies still won't listen to reason. If I support bare-footedness, some hippies might finally be convinced with this seemingly unanimous support. If this happens, they might go barefoot, get their feet cut on broken glass, and BOOM! One less hippie. I wonder what I should do...


No shoes? What an awesome idea! We should all liberate ourselves from the bondage of capitalism. It's sad that even something as basic as shoes is marketed and sold. Let's boycott them! Let capitalists know they can't force us to wear shoes! Down with the rich people! Proletarians of the world unite for peace, love, drugs, and... all that good stuff. Ra Ra.

LOL!!

Run, Hippies, RUN! Run and trip on your own beer bottles!  :D  :whip:

How nice of you, Marsos.  Here's a flower to tuck behind your ear.  And have a cup of Red Zinger.  But I wouldn't go so far as to ban shoes altogether.  Personally, I'd hate to have to walk through a chicken yard in bare feet.  And then there's winter.  Cold toes are not happy toes.  And sandals are a must on hot asphalt when it's hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.  So shoes are a compromise, sometimes.

I like my shoes.  Does this mean I will become a greedy self-centered asshole who will pay no attention to the children I may or may not have.


Probably.

I very much enjoy wearing polished black shoes with a suit looking distinguished and handsome but i walk around the house barefoot, I like to think that I have the best of both worlds.

Khablan: There is a solution to those problems (though only a few people, such as myself, have the capability to utilize them). In winter, I can walk around barefoot because my feet resemble those of a gigantic hobbit, allowing me to travel with minimal discomfort. When on hot asphalt, I am fortunate to have really thick soles which I am able to burn cigarettes on, so asphalt is no worry of mine. Not sure what to do about the chicken yard, though.

How soft do you think we hippies are? I'd say you should walk a mile in our shoes, but... you know....

I was referring to cuts of a more serious nature. Despite LSD-induced hallucinations to the contrary, hippies, like any other human, do not have hobbit feet. And as for walking a mile, I'll be glad to. Just don't expect me to march on to Washington. I'm a lapdog of Western Imperialism, not a hippie. By the way, about Hippies:
