Why do we have Insightful/funny over Upvote/Downvote by posty in SaidIt

[–]dissent 23 insightful - 2 fun23 insightful - 1 fun24 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Down voting is poison. It let's extremists in a particular community hide your voice.

This way, you have to be ignored at worse or challenged/debated at best.

What's a big coincidence you have experienced? by [deleted] in AskSaidIt

[–]dissent 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

When I was younger I worked in Post Production in Australia. There was a CUTE girl I worked with. Smart, good-looking but I worked in graphics/creative, and she worked in sound/admin.

We flirted, but she had a BF, so we just left it easy and there were never any lines crossed.

I decided to move to the UK and expand my work horizons there. About a year and a half later I visit a dive bar in London, and I am listening to my fave band. I go to the bar to get a drink and guess who's the one serving me?! We both just stood there in awe that we could meet each other on the other side of the world like that.

I got great drinks all night, and we still never went any further with a relationship but it was just a cool experience / co-incidence for both of us.

I have another.

I used to live in a city in Australia. I moved to the UK. Many years later moved back to Australia.

I took the Easter weekend break with my wife and kids and we went to a campsite. It was a busy campsite about 2 hours from the Australian city I used to live in before I went to the UK.

I stumbled across my old neighbour at this camp site. I (and they) were amazed. We caught up and it was great. We all had drinks that night and as a group we stumbled across our OTHER neighbour from the other side of the house. We were all in shock. that was until they said "WAIT! Come with us!" and we followed them to another tent where the old neighbours from across the road were camping.

I would not believe it if I'd not been there. 4 x neighbours. All from years ago. All go camping to the same campsite years later and bump into each other. I can say many a drink was had that night.

You do know.. America did not invent... English. I can give you a tip on who did. It's spelt similarly. "England". Did you know there were so many native german speakers in America at one point that a vote had to be held to see what would be the national language and English only just won. You could be speaking / writing German right now if the vote had of gone the other way.
