I hug my friends all the time. People watching think we're weird and/or gay.

I watched the video, and if it were me, I'd hug the guy and sign the petition...unless my family was around. If my family was around, I'd probably get in trouble. If I was alone or with my friends, I'd hug him or anyone else giving out free hugs.

I hug strangers all the time, but usually only around my friends. But if he looked like a hobo or druggy I'd be scared he'd stab me in the back with a heroine needle and rape me.

My mom dragged me to a Billy Graham function and it had a random stranger hug time. I hugged as many people as I could. I didn't care that it was done in the spirit of religion. I know some of those people would not have hugged me if they knew I didn't believe in their god. I hugged them because I believe in unity. I hugged them because deep down all I want is for everyone to be happy. If I saw that stranger, I would hug them too.
Humanity has so much potential for beauty. If only we all cared so much about our fellow man.

Hey! I love to give people hugs! Sometimes, people who just look interesting, I'll just straight up pull a hug and run on them. It's sweet. hahah. I like live for it. Now, because of that video, I want to run around with a sign like that! (And a pair of hollow coconuts.)

All my friends would run up and hug him, while me and my one friend would be edging away from those crazy people... I can barely tolerate hugs from people I know. I don't think it's cuz I don't like affection, it's more like a phobia eek yeah, it's messed up...

That is really awsome what he started. It gives people a since of hope and kindness you don't normaly seen in todays socity. People are more likely to filck you off then hug you. There are lots of people that have isues with personal space but to hug a person that wants nothing more then to pass on his good will that trasends alot of things.

Sangu you want to try it at school? ^_^ I'd do it If I didn't hate creepy people so much.... alot of people at our school I'd hide the sign from. If I went to ODU or somewhere that requires more then a single diget IQ to walk in. Sorry that was mean... but true.

I love hugs. The other day, I was feeling sad and I hugged this boy I've only known for a couple of weeks.

I hug my friend James every time I see him, because he is so cute and I just have to!

Wow....this thread got revived?

Hugs are theraputic. You can hug a human, hug a cat, or hug a giant plushie and it all results in the same video. I think the beauty of this is that it just motivated by good will, and that is amazing.

You have something good, people ban it, and people get together and get it unbanned. It has a good beginning and a good end not that the thing has ended I don't think.

I will do that sometimes, too. My school is big. Well, I guess it's small for a university, but it's big for one person.
