Free Hugs

That's really cool. I'd be worried about germs and catching a cold or something, though. :/ Maybe Nessa, Rage, and I should all make "FREE HUGS" t-shirts when we meet up next week and walk around a bit and see what happens. lol

That's a very touching video; I enjoyed how everyone just joined in with the fun and hugged one another.

Thanks for sharing.

Its in sydney. I've been where this is filmed ^_^

I would hug a stranger. I mean it just makes you feel amazing. Look at all the people giving hugs in there. You can put everything behind you and hug someone and for those moments everything is great

This video also shows that there is still hope on the world for humankind. The message is much bigger then just hugs. Its means there are still people out there who still have some fun in them, people who see past races, past color, past religion, past everything. I think thats what makes this so amazing.

And you know, sometimes a hug can make your day, even if its from a stranger. I mean they had fun doing it, it cheered them up.

I love how the first hug was a small lady. It was perfect. I must have watched this video quite a few times now and it really cheers you up.

Its kinda sad though how you cant really trust anyone anymore. A lot of people wouldnt do it, because the guy could have had something up his sleeve, if you know what I mean. Its just sad, how you have to sometimes worry about things like that.

That's freakin' awesome. Damn those policeman, banning free hugs... but yay for free hugs coming back.
I wish there were some free hugs around here. I could use one from time to time

When I saw this, the first thing I thought was that I had to do it. I'm still pondering that. It looks like a really fun way to brighten people's days. =)

Reminds me of something me and my friends did at camp once. There were four of us walking in a line and we went and gave a circle hug to one of our other friends. And then we just started walking around hugging random people. There were probably about 10 people in the circle by the time quad time was over.

It was so awesome. My favorite night of the whole session probably. It just makes you feel so fuzzy.

I was thinking fabric markers, but that would work, too.

AWWWWWWWWWW! I am seriously crying right now. That is the most amazing thing ever. I want to do that. I bet there would be so much unity that I would explode.
