Remember oslojente? She was a very smart woman, although she did have an ongoing feud with an American woman, I think it was hugznkisses. Not that there was much of that between the two of them.. Also my lifelong friend trish123. She teamed up with summeruk to go and visit morgan in the Canary Islands. They made a thread about it, something like 'the Canary three' it was hilarious, they were drunk all the time. Mind you, the last time I mentioned that on here, my thread was pulled...
There used to be a disproportionate number of people from Malta on here for a while. Robert being one of the more vocal ones had quite a disturbing breakdown on here before he left. It really was a bit of a madhouse at times back then.
No, thumbs up are postive, make people feel better. Let me ask you something else. Are you one of the people thats giving a thumbs down to vitually every post, regardless of the content?
Yes, you've already said that, but maybe some people are more sensitive than you. Maybe potential new posters see the negativity and think, no, not really for me. Let me ask you. Can you see any positivity coming from the thumbs down feature the way it is being used at the moment?
Maybe it doesn't bother you, but don't you think new members might be understandably bothered by every one of their posts receiving negative responses.? Maybe it's one of the reasons the numbers have reduced so dramatically on here and why we see very few new members. Why admin cant see this and remove the thumbs down feature remains a mystery to me.
You're right, being mindful is far from having a mind 'full'. Ironically it's those who dont have the tims for stillness who would benefit the most. I'm sure you know that anyway.
Given that many of the illegal immigrants are from outside Europe, Brexit has made no difference to them. It's a pity that many of those who voted leave didn't comprehend that.
Oh yes and so much more, especially if you count all the UK.
