My brother and I looked at this, and decided the milk question doesn't go high enough. I use half&half, and he uses whipping cream for what most people use milk for.

Likewise, "I'm a veg" needs to go up to "meat only".

11%, maybe because we do recycle. Also don't see hippies at the farmers' markets along the Hwy. 321corridor. The downtown Knox market, tho, is definitely a hippie craft fair.

Only becaue because I recycle and I know what "free-cycling" is, even though I don't participate in it.

Apparently we have different kinda Farmers Markets than they do in other places.....

I'm also from KY, there is a WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD between the farmers market in Cynthiana and the market in Lexington though... but its still not got alot of hippies....

I'm a new commenter, please cut me some slack.

I got 0%

Can someone please explain to me what farmers markets have to do with hippies? My family sells at our local farmers market and I have seen very few hippies. The questions were total crap though.

I knew reading that Cowboy Poetry would come back to bite me.

2010-07-28T16:57:59.853-04:00

Scored 62, and was surprised. That it was that low, that is. ;)

My police officer brother-in-law teased me about being a hippie the third or fourth time we met. It was the second time I'd happened to be wearing my favorite tie-dye t-shirt material dress with the long skirt and patch pockets in his presence. So I told him it was in his honor, of course. ;P

Okay, I *do* carry a revolver for self protection. And I am pro-life. And I eat meat. (And I take showers. Regularly.) ;) But I'm also a human rights activist of thirty-plus years standing, recycle, walk instead of driving when possible, and refuse to buy non-free-range chickens or eat foi-gras. So the hippie percentage is definitely there, and I'm *proud* of it. ;)

2010-07-28T16:20:58.428-04:00

You are 12% hippie.

Same message Eric got.

I think it was the recycling question that got me. We actually do recycle, but mostly because we're cheap, and we only have to have our household trash dumped once a month, so it costs less.

But I still got a big zero.

2010-07-28T13:35:22.426-04:00

There is just so much of the Quiz that is inadequate, like "What is freecycle?" - It's a way to leave your filthy smelly used crap on the street for bums to pick-up instead of at the City Dump.
Or, "When you have children, how will you carry them?" - Carry?? Don't they have legs?

I couldn't figure the transportation out either - I guess hippies don't know what a truck is.
I got a Zero. There was a time I would have scored higher.

2010-07-28T12:42:46.842-04:00

1%, but only because I don't own a SUV or Hummer, so I guess my 4x4 Chevy Pickup doesn't count.

2010-07-28T10:56:14.559-04:00

I'm a 3 percenter as well. Must be a reaction to living near the hippie capital of North Carolina - Asheville.

Sweet innocence, I do miss you.

0%, thank God. 1% to 2% and I'd have to go dump some barrels of radioactive waste into a nature preserve in order to feel better. 3% or God forbid higher and I'd have to pick 10 animals and make them extinct by drowning them all in crude oil and trans-fats.

2010-07-28T09:12:42.051-04:00

WTF!!!!
I got 19%
but there were some answers that didn't really work for me....
I live on a farm, and recycling means we have a burn barrel and burn everything we can to not have to make as many trips to the dump so often....
but my wife drive's a truck that'll spit enough soot to blot out the sun, my tractor will spew smoke when I want it to.... I look at having cattle more as a 'prepper' thing... my beef is on the hoof instead of in the freezer

2010-07-28T09:09:50.949-04:00

You are 0% hippie.

At last, one of those on-line quizes that comes up with an accurate response.

Breda, I think it is the lack of gunpowder smoke that skewed your response. Somehow the fumes are detectable even over the internet. Try the quiz again after a range session.

stay safe.

wv = imaxibl: you can't get a higher score than that.

2010-07-28T03:18:40.730-04:00

I only got 32%; clearly, it's biased. But it told me the same thing as you - which is silly, because I already regularly go to farmer's markets. And there was no option for biking seasonally, or chores or hiking for exercise - whatever conception of hippie they have desperately needs to get out of the city center and off the grid for a while!

When we make a gunblogger meetup with you, ask my Calmer Half about the time I dragged him to the Girdwood Forest Festival, indignantly proclaiming that his hatred of hippies was irrational and founded on not knowing 'em.
