Hi Jayb,

Remember the "Free Hugs Campaign?"

The following link may help:

http://www.freehugscampaign.org/

As the link tell us, "Free hugs is a real life
controversial story of Juan Mann. A man whose
sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger
to brighten up their lives."

"In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of
human contact, the effect of the Free Hugs Campaign
became phenomenal."

Amongst my many ibrary duties I also run a Book-Club for
elderly citizens. I can tell you that giving someone a
hug - is always well received. As is listening,
smiling, and just general human contact and kindness.
Not everyone has a family and a smile and a kind word
always goes a long way. And it doesn't cost anything.
But what you get back is priceless. :-)

Lexi you do know that Juan Mann is an international pick pocket.

Lexi - Like the link but I notice when hugging both hands are on the others back not there tits.

Lexi,

I'm surprised that you are unable to form an opinion without a judicial verdict, and until then are prepared to swallow the son's excuse hook line and sinker.

I suppose the woman concerned is a racist simply trying to persecute this man, and she is guilty until the courts prove her innocent?

It is with alarm and trepidation I read the article Catholic Priest beheaded in Syria. Watching all the screaming crowd getting photos and close ups with their mobile phones was sickening. Alarming, because of the viscouness of the butchering of three men, Trepidation because these poor syrians will be crying out for asylum here.Check out www.liveleak.com/viewi=ead_1372329728 These people are out to harm us so what are you all doing about it? nothing, just whineing about Abbott. Well you should be whineing about the pinko leftys that are letting these barbarians in.

SM,

Again you're making the wrong assumptions.
I am not buying the son's story hook, line,
and sinker. What I am doing is presenting
his version of events and his explanations.
It's an occuptational habit,
to present full information so that people can
make informed decisions. All I am actually doing
is asking for us to wait until all the facts are
in before making any judgements. That to me seems
like the proper procedure that intelligent people
follow. Nobody should decide on issues until
they know all the facts of the case.

As Poirot stated earlier people should try and
resist the habit of imposing their assumptions
regarding other people's opinions on the discussion
at hand.

Re-read my posts as to what I was actually saying
and keep your prejudices and assumptions to yourself
because they are wrong.
