  • Are you guys all retarded? Going barefoot is great! When you can, of course. I hate Winter when I can't be barefoot at home!

    Sincerely,

    White man from Africa. Get closer to your roots people.

  • Nominated for droolmaster of the bbc

  • I dont wear shoes at school sometimes, people take the mickey out of me, but i dont mind, I LOVE not wearing shoes, and i agree very firmly with this idea, i already have some supporters too, an thanks to Mharrison95 for showing me this video. and Good On the BBC !!!!!! Xxx

  • I agree with being barefoot to connect with the earth and our surroundings. Many of my friends and myself go barefoot as often as we can. Unfortunately, most people in the world, like those who commented negatively on this video are so scared of dirt, germs, fashion, and even scared of the world they live in, that they wont touch the earth with their feet. Or their hands. Get a little dirty! Its good for you!!!!!

  • Don't discourage him. I've an entire box of thumbtacks that's just collecting dust in my drawer.

  • This guy takes nitwittery to a new level

  • some one stole my shoes

  • If he was just talking about the simple joys of going barefoot, it would be a pleasant enough clip, but since he thinks he's making a Very Profound Point About Something, he's a pretentious twit.

  • Change global warming to something like 'environmental change/challenge/destruction'

    Global warming is still a question. The destruction of the environment isn't.

  • Only women should be barefoot */sarcasm

    WTF is wrong with you people? Now the conservative coalition is all pro-shoes?

    FFS, he's not saying you should be required to go barefoot. He's suggesting that people might get a different perspective if they did.

    Of course, that might require you to have a bit of an open mind, and that's really hard to do from your SUV...

  • Lock this prick up and throw away the key! FFS what is going on out there people? You've all gone mad!
