This defines awesome, if you ask me. I just want to know what inexcusably stupid reason there was for banning the project.

Maybe because most people don't like to have a total stranger come up and suddenly hug them.

To quote the news segment, he needed "public liability insurance" in case anyone got hurt while hugging...

Getting hurt while hugging? Come up with any old crap big-wig society idiots. Go back to your lives of self-righteous cold oven hovels.

Jaltus, thanks for posting this.
Heartwarming to say the least. I almost cried (and I barely ever do). It struck me as showing God's love in a pratical way to everyone (and some would need it more than others). Not sure if the guy is Christian, but he's certainly got his head screwed on straight.

Good on you mate! Go the Aussies!

I saw this video before. It's pretty heartwarming.

For the most part, those involved just waited for people to come up to them and ask.

And even so, making it illegal just like that is rather a drastic move.

I didn't say anything about making it illegal,I just noted that most people are a bit
ill at ease when it comes to being hugged by complete strangers,even if it is voluntary.

Ah, but they didn't have to if they didn't want to. He wasn't forcing them to have hugs, or even looking down on them if they didn't. He didn't only hug the good looking girls (as a pervert would) but also old ladies, men, women, kids etc.

While I think it's a neat idea, I am all for having such things banned. It's all for public safety I guess.

I wouldn't really want to hug somebody I didn't know though...
