Would the world be a better place if we all hugged each other more?

Question

Exluding the possiblity that disease would spread quicker.

Answer 1

No. It wouldnt. It would just aggravate people more. Imagine if you had to hug someone when you didnt want to. Or hug someone who smelled bad. I think the better change would be if we all WANTED to hug each other more, but then you have to ask, for what reason would we all want to hug each other more? For example, I bet pervs would want to hug everyone more if they knew they could cop a feel... which would make the world a worse off place than it is now... so these types of questions cant really be answers. I think the world is as good as it can get. With every positive, there is an equal negative.

Answer 2

LOL! that is cute. I think that's not a bad idea, not the disease part though.

Answer 3

No, I think it would take a lot more than people hugging each other for the world to be a better place.  Plus, there are some people in this world I simply would not want to hug.  

Answer 4

No because I don't want to have physical contact with  people in general - only with someone I REALLY like and know.

Answer 5

I think so...hugging triggers the release of some hormone..i think it's dopamine..which makes the person giving and recieving hugs feel happy and good

Answer 6

this reminds me of that part of mean girls.... does she even go here?

Answer 7

Not for me. I can't stand hugging.

Answer 8

Lets start with a general acceptance of differences and mutual respect - we're a long way from hugging - and more steps need to happen first!
