  • I WISH IF ...

    IT REALLY BROUGHT TEAR INTO MY EYES BECAUSE I WISH IF WE ALL COULD DO HUG EACHOTHER AND FORGET ALL THE DIFFERENCES.

    • I wish that too...

      ...but then few days ahead when the next 9/11 -memorial video comes out in Metacafe, there's atleast 187 viewers that want all muslims dead. Next picture compilation of dead children from Israel and all the Palestinians should be slaughtered... As well as all the niggas, spicks and whatever your enemies are called. People on this planet will never ever learn to live in peace, but you can broaden your way of seeing things. Try to see what other people have gone through, before bashing about your superiority...

      Ok, the new 9/11-film is already out, so lets wait for the comments :)

    • If we live

      Without hate, the world can never develop... with no love then we'd all be dead. I think this balance is okay. Its better than the past.

    • So you're funny and all...

      lol, I just came from a 911 video, seeking out this video in an attempt to find a mature, decent-hearted discussion. I might think your an idiot for posting the comment above mine, but I'll assure you I've been an idiot just as much, so, here's a figurative hug, to you, who might need one today. You have it in you, to see the world through pure eyes. Do it.

    • my dear friend

      Dont listen to others make ur own mind search for proofs to blame muslims. your and many of ur kinda ppls problem is wat u see on T.v and what ur goverment says without thinking u agreed there is not any muslim hands involue behind 9/11. i think u havent seen any conspiracy thoeries about 9/11 search on net u will find thousands.1st of all osama is an direct america's agent and Al qaida is FBI's secrat organisation and for ur kind information and all of them who dont know about this tht Osama was dead in 1986 and this is not a big deal for modren since to make a xerox copy of him . you said 187 viewers want all muslim dead but we muslim never ever wanted even to hurt any of non muslim did u ever think?

    • I agree with you

      on every point you made... for a short time, let's enjoy the silence...

    • I agree

      Guys, everything is so fucked up, as people are so aggresive to each other and hatred is damn everywhere.... i would have been one of the people that signed,.,, I admire and respect those people that started this. The world definitely needs more of them. If we want to survive.

      It would be totally awesome
      too bad it ain't that simple...

    • you are wrong

      It\'s that simple. Open arms - hug - let go... no more than that.

      There can\'t be a fight if one of the peers doesn\'t want one... try today and you\'ll see it\'s truth

  • I'm not lying.

    I'm doing that tomorrow. Who cares if someone's vidoeing it??? I'd say let's all do it tomorrow and spread the word but half of us would get beat up. I don't care, I'll do it anyway. This is the way to protest. Thankyou guy in the video. I'm gonna hug loads of great people because of this and annoy loads of misguided people who think it's strange to express love for a fellow human being. Actions speak louder than words- This is the start of a movement, this is the way to make the world a better place. Tell me I'm wrong...

  • theres only JUAN mann !!!

    its a sweet idea.... all the free hugs n stuff but why leave it all to juan mann. If the peole on here think its a good idea, then why not go out and give free hugs the next time you have a couple of hours spare. Video it and then post it on here.

  • loved it!

    This is such a great video. I showed it to my kids (who I hug multiple times a day whether they like it or not!). It really touched me. Look how many people he affected. This should be something we all strive for. The world needs love man!

  • Very touching

    It kind of show us that there is still life on earth... people should hug more and fight less... At the end, I realized that my face was all wet from the tears.

  • simply...

    the best video ever shown here or anywhere on the internet or media.Only a cold hearted man could say this is pointless (I wouldn't even consider him/her to be a Human (you know what I mean... i hope...)). but there are some, who do say that...

  • I hugged a person holding one of those s...

    The bulk of that is shot in Pitt St Mall, in Sydney's CBD. one night after work I was doing some shopping and I asked a couple of people holding those signs why they were doing it. They said they saw some guy doing it and asked if they could too. They couldn't tell me any more than that.

  • Admirable!

    What an exceptionnal and brilliant idea! It seems that people couldn't first believe that there could be someone who sole idea is to hug. Difficult to accept apparently, that this can be done unconditional - just like in real life, right?
