Should Hugging Be Banned?

I see the point about hugging and all the problems it can cause. I just don't think that I could support an outright ban. Perhaps we should have several studies done on the matter first.

Then, we could appoint a committee, just to follow protocol. Every issue needs a committee.

Then, of course, we would need some PSA's so that those who are unaware of the dangers of hugging become duly afraid and demand action. We'd probably call it Nonhuggers Against Hugging, or NAH!

But, instead of outright banning hugging, we decide to regulate and tax it. Our committee could draft the legislation.

Then, only really smart people that know the proper time and place for hugging can manage it for the rest of us just to make sure that no unauthorized hugging happens.

We could have an entire department to interpret the law, then make and implement policies.

Hey, it would create revenue. It would create jobs. Who says the US doesn't manufacture things anymore?

Let's not forget that showering is the opposite of water conservation. We're running out of water, we need to save as much as we can. How can we do that if we're showering all the time?

:(who is going to give Martin a hug then?

I will -- just as soon as I get my CHL (Certified Hugger's License.)

Everyone needs a hug from time to time. It's just that not everyone can be trusted to handle them responsibly. A purchased certificate greatly increases the likelihood of responsible hugging.

I believe that banning hugging is the right thing to do.

It seems to cause many problems and contributes to the decay of society.

If banned , things would improve for sure.

No jealousy, filth ridden hugging clubs, immorality, snuggling and worship of friendliness.

Punishments for offenders should be 20 tickles of the feather for the first offence.

I'm going after kissing, holding hands and snuggling on the couch watching DVDs next.

As a matter of fact i'm proposing that there should be a minimum of 1 metre (that's roughly 3 feet) purity zone around all individuals, with harsh punishments for the first offense and death for the second.

Is this the way forward?
You are not going far enough. Not by a longshot. We need to ban showering, baths, going to the toilet, underwear as well as not having underwear (you have to be nude first to wear them and if you dont wear them you are nude), bikini, cars (do you know how many marriges are ruined by people driving to their lovers home?), houses (if the immoral people have a home, they have a place to hide their immoralness) and above all else... space shuttles. Serious, take a look at them and dont tell me they are not a gigantic dildo made to impress the ladies!

Well, you know that it is the gateway action to full on sinful adultery. I mean really, first it's a friendly hug, then next the embrace lasts a little longer, and the next thing you know hands are wandering, lips are are meeting, and two stripped naked bodies are tumbling over writhing around and sinning all over the place. Yes, hugging should be banned...it most obviously leads to sex sex sex.

Hugging is a slippery slope.....
