.....Just Wow.
I can almost feel the love, and that right there is the kind of attitude we need. It almost seemed weird when I saw the title at first, and then just saw a guy holding a "Free Hugs" sign. Then when I saw what he was actually doing, and saw what he accomplished, it was unbelieveable.  The greatest accomplishment in the world usually start small, and it all started with a hug.  -------------------- Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Chrsit for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost Acts 4:12 Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost |

Not in this country I wager... He'd fall foul of the twitchy tabloids.
Quote The Sun, Day after anyone tries it in the UK PERVERT LYNCHED BY MOB OF JUSTICE! A PAEDOPHILE internet freak was today torn to shreds by Sun readers for attempting to molest our children IN BROAD DAYLIGHT! The freak, who cannot be named or idenitified because there's not enough left to fill a coke can, brandished a sign proclaiming "Free Hugs" in an attempt to molest children! The freak, who posted his sick plans on a popular website that cannot be named **** PRISON FREEDOM PROTESTOR MURDERED BY ANGERED MOB A MAN fighting for justice on behalf of Tony Hugs, the Cambridgeshire farmer arrested for refusing to pay a bonkers fine for parking his tractor on a communist, was today ripped to shreds by an angry mob which had all the hallmarks of a "slash mob". Fred Fredson was attacked by the vicious mob whilst running his one man protest against the unfair treatment of hugs carrying a sign demanding police "Free Hugs". It is unknown why Mr Fredson was attacked, but the sun blames the looney liberal left and muslim extremists, and police claim journalists from an insane neo-facist newspaper apparently orchestrated the attack. Seriously though, the only motivation I got from that clip was to write that. It's bound to get a few of the more nutty persons in the world thinking he has a nefarious purpose for his free hugging. Or get the wrong idea in another way...

Eh, I'd hug 'em, if only to humor them. The sentiment would likely be lost on me, though

I hug you all. With no paedophile intentions.
But seriously speaking, I love the idea. If I only had more time in me life, I would hug random people everyday. Because when you hug, you smile, and when you smile, the world's a better place. So let's hug, people! :] -------------------- You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one... |

I used to do that in high school.
I found that the biggest thing that bothered people that were already angry or frustrated was asking, "Do you need a hug?" Or, in cases of extreme rage and anger, just outright givin' em a big bear hug. Of course, if they ever started swinging, that proved futile, because a nice hug becomes a hard squeeze very quickly, and the only way to breathe again is to stop hitting. Who said, "Kill em with kindness" couldn't be taken literally? As for the video, it's awesome. I wanna hold a sign like that in my local mall. That would be all sorts of interesting. -------------------- If internal struggles were as enjoyable and glamorous as the self conflicted wars within video game characters, we would all be statues, reveling in perpetual self war. -Me Play me on Rock Band 2, GH-WT, or any other Xbox GH!
