It's good to be back in the game

DST, how I despise thee

,

I just can't stand Daylight Saving Time. I guess it seemed like a good idea, and it still has a few arguments that are positive about it, but most of them have studies that show contradictory results.

My main argument against it is that there are a lot of clocks in the world. Even in the same time zone you have problems with synchronizing all of them. Why do we need to go around the house and move a bunch of clocks? And of course there is always at least one we forget that will make us panic about the time in a few days when we look at it.
In different parts of the world there are different rules on what date do we change the clocks and even at what time of the day.
In this day of global communications why do we need this complication? Why do we create a day with 23 and a day with 25 hours?
For an hour of sunlight in the sumer afternoon? I don't think it's worth all the hustle.

I believe that this argument alone should be enough to dispose of this silly thing.

I freakin' HATE DST!!! The only state in America who refuses to participate in this abomination is Arizona! Props to Arizona! Now if all 49 of the other states would use their heads, too, I'd be a tad less bitchy. p:

I cannot agree more with all of your arguments. It's asinine in my opinion. :down:

Let's hope time will do it's part and stick up for itself (i.e. not let itself be pushed back and forward :wink: )

isnt everyone hooked up to their computers working just to make money to eat? who has time to go out and actually enjoy that 1hr of afternoon sunlight? i say we change the clocks by 7 hours. and enjoy afternoon at night.

Right, everyone should enjoy the afternoon whenever they bloody feel like it! In the morning, at night or in November :wink:
