It was only last night (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php/topic,8350.msg99250.html#msg99250) that I was musing on why I live in the middle of nowhere and do not for a second regret not living in a major metro area. One of the reasons for having no regrets is that where I live we have no hipsters or hippies. I don't like being angry and I get angry around intentionally stupid people. Hipsters are stupid on steroids. Hipsters are stupid with an attitude of self important arrogance.
Actually, we are not exactly immune from hipsters here. Every once in a while they vacation here. At least, they do until they realize that the outdoors is icky and inconvenient and then they leave. I suppose the only thing positive I can say about hipsters visiting our community is that they leave a lot of their money here which is good: They can't spend that money on stupid stuff anymore (like campaign donations to leftists) and we get to spend the money they leave on what we think is important. Plus, I hear that the locals charge hipsters double and triple for stuff all the time. So that's good.
I guess I had better get to the point of this post. If I lived in the city I would probably have to deal with hipsters and their spawn engaging in "elimination communication" or EC. Get ready for this because if you haven't heard of it (like me) you will find it difficult to believe. Or maybe you won't. They are frickin' idiots, after all.
EC is where a hipster is supposed to somehow deduce when their spawn is going to take a dump and hurry up rush them somewhere to do it because the hipster spawn is diaper-free. Yeah, hipster parents who practice EC let their spawn run around without anything on their butts and are constantly dealing with hipster junior excreting all over the place. I can just imagine how I would react if a pair of hipsters did this in public in my presence. It would be bad for them. Because that's what tasers are for.
I learned of this at the AoS ONT. They linked to this article (http://www.wwtdd.com/2013/04/hipsters-are-full-of-sh*t/) which linked to this article. (http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130418/new-york-city/parents-ditching-diapers-potty-train-tots-sinks-city-streets#ixzz2R4IDWYQY) Here's a quote:
GREENPOINT — Pardis Partow decided to give her year-old son, Parker, some diaper-free time at home — much to the consternation of her Yorkshire terrier.
Because of Parker’s terrible diaper rash, the Bedford-Stuyvesant lawyer-turned-Reiki healer became interested in “elimination communication” — or EC, as it’s called— responding to her son’s cues for when to go to the bathroom instead of having to rely on a diaper.
The hope is for the parent to “catch” pees and poops — whether atop open-cloth diapers, toilets, sinks or behind the multitude of parked cars on city streets.
But as Partow learned, often there are “misses.”
“I kept seeing him leave a trail of pee,” Partow, 41, said of her son. “The dog looked at me and said, ‘This isn’t fair. Why can he do that?’”
Partow shared her experience with a group of nearly a dozen moms sitting with their babies last month at an EC meet-up at Greenpoint’s Caribou Baby.
Disgusted yet? Here's another:
This week is Go Diaper Free! Week where I live in New York City, a holiday of grossness spearheaded by the assholes that follow this nonsense. So I got to see a hipster dad, handlebar mustache and all, get the “signal” from his baby at a restaurant, try to rush the defecating little bastard to the toilet, and not make it in time. This kid dropped a huge deuce right in the middle of the dining room.

Perhaps you were unaware that in China (http://www.poopreport.com/Travel/Content/China/china.html) and India (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?sid=aErNiP_V4RLc&pid=newsarchive) public defecation is considered a "problem" that the state attempts to deal with. Yeah, in third world countries public defecation is a cultural tradition and the state, having figured out that real developed countries frown upon it, are trying to curb the problem.
But here, in arguably the world's most developed nation, hipsters actually have a frickin' FACEBOOK page (https://www.facebook.com/GoDiaperFree?fref=ts) dedicated to their filthy little kids doing it...
New York City has some advantages for EC practitioners, Longwell-Stevens explained.
Besides parked cars giving them cover, babywearing helps since not only are children less likely to go to the bathroom while being held in a carrier, but their parents are more likely to “tune in” to them when they are close, she said.
So, to hipsters, NYC is "cool" because there's lots of parked cars for you to defecate behind. Again, tasers were made for hipsters and hippies. Nothing warms my heart quite so much as a hipster getting tased:
University of Florida Taser Incident (taser portion) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XWijwmvGU4#)
Hipsters and hippies are disgusting, filthy and stupid beyond any reasonable measure. There should be a hunting season without a bag limit.
I watched a hippie glorifying movie the other day. It wasn't on purpose. mrs. trapeze had it on (she occasionally exhibits a cruel streak towards me) and, like driving by a particularly nasty multi car accident, I could not look away because it was so awful.
It was called, "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding" (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/peace_love_and_misunderstanding/) and it was pure hippie propaganda meant to persuade low intelligence voters that the hippie lifestyle is both reasonable and legitimate. The RT rating for this dreck is 29%/41% which is pretty telling about just how bad a movie it is...if lib film critics aren't willing to shill for left wing OWS crap like this then it must be pretty awful.
And it is. Let me count the ways:
1. Stars Jane Fonda in what must have been a personal fantasy role of playing a hippie matriarch.
2. Features Fonda's character breaking drug laws continually with no consequences.
3. Features Fonda's character personally introducing her two minor grandchildren to drug use.
4. Stars actress Catherine Keener as H'wood caricature of a "conservative" lawyer/mom and new divorcee.
5. Features Keener's character inexplicable overnight abandoning of all of her conservative morals to embrace the hippie culture she had "always" hated about her mother.
6. Features Fonda's character prompting forcing her grandchildren to have sex while scolding her own daughter as being a "cock block" for putting up token resistance to her children's underage introduction to free love.
7. And, best of all...features absolutely zero negative consequences to any of immoral aspects of the hippie culture.
Just when I thought that this movie couldn't possibly get any lower it surprised me with yet more moral depravity dressed up as happy, happy hippie lifestyle.
It might have been a good movie if it had thought to parody the obnoxious and pretentious behavior that is the hallmark of hippies everywhere. But, no...it decided to be a promotional video. Anyway, it's awful even if you think that crap is a good idea. The characters are all caricatures and one dimensional. The script is full of cliches...which, given the subject material (hippie culture) is to be expected, I suppose. But the script and the story are hackneyed, boring and predictable. It was filmed in the Woodstock area of New York and it looks as if most, if not all, of the supporting cast and extras are real hippies. That's supposed to be a feature but it turned out to be a bug because none of those people/characters made me want to be anywhere near the same zip code. Heck, five minutes into the movie I wanted to punch Jane Fonda in the mouth and halfway through the film I wanted to fly low over the community and drop napalm on it to prevent anyone from getting out alive.

(also gotta love the chickens running around the house and sh*tting everywhere and the protest scene at the end of the clip is putrid)
Now...on the other hand, I did see a movie where the hippie culture is mocked quite effectively. It was called, "Away We Go" (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/away_we_go/) and it was mostly enjoyable thanks to a decent script, interesting characters and credible acting. The two lead characters are unmarried (he wants to marry her but she doesn't want to for some reason that's unclear) and go on a road trip to determine where they should live to raise their unborn child. They encounter various "families" and "parents" along the way and one of these couples are stupid ass hipsters. How stupid? They don't believe in putting a child in a stroller because they think that it is a form of "pushing the child away from themselves." Yeah, classic hippy thinking. This part of the movie makes the entire thing worth seeing (although the rest of the movie is pretty good, actually) because of the climactic takedown of the hipsters by the male lead.

So...one movie promotes and revels in the hippie lifestyle and sucks while another movie openly mocks those idiots and is pretty damned funny and entertaining. Case closed as far as I'm concerned.
