Daylight Savings Time!!!

Who on TA turns their clocks forward at 02:00 on 2002/04/07? We (USA) do it... I know that the GMT timezone does NOT do it and the same goes in Japan and China as well! Who else DOES "Spring Forward" and who does NOT do it?

what the hell is "spring forward??"

If we were the only daylight savings peoiple (in the us) our times whoudlget all screwed up when we moved an hour and everyone else didnt.. it would make sense that everyone does it.

but ya know, since were america, we can do anything.. damn america. (shrugs my shoulders.)

You're right: Arizona and EAST Indiana does NOT move their clocks forward at 02:00 on 2002/04/07! Everyone in the world does NOT do it! Some do it at different times. Like in Iran. I heard that they do it a month before US (Early March) and at 03:00, NOT 02:00. I heard that in Australia, during ONE of the Daylight Savings periods (I forgot wether if it's when they End or Begin), the country splits 2 of their timezones in half, creating 2 more! Aust. has 5 timezones during this period, each seperated by 45 minutes. Who can explain this in a better fashin???

"Spring Forward" and "Fall Back" are old sayings for DST beginning and Ending. It means that we move the clocks FORWARD in the Spring and we move the clocks BACK in the Fall. See? SPRING forward. FALL back. Get it?

Indiana doesn't have daylight savings time..crazy hicks.

I hate it

I hate daylight savings time this year because my birthday is tomorrow so I only have 23hrs of birthday!! damn, and I lose an hour of sleep, damn you America!!

OOOOOOHHHH...

O yipee! We get to lose an hour of sleep...just what I need

Not only that, but we get more daylight also...I like night (darkness) more.

wtf ever! here in boston it's saturday night and i can sleep how many hours i want, glad there's sunday! but still, i like darkness too! i like darkness and cold! winter! offtopic!

daylight savings sucks, caz my computer is already acting weird and my gozilla has to disconnect at specified time (i'm leaving it overnight on dial-up) + it is my job to reset all the clocks in the house... damn it...

I agree with you a 100%. We should abolish time keeping so we can sleep as long as we want. If I could only lay my hands on that guy who invented the clock...

Barring that we should get rid of this stupid daylight saving stuff.

that's rather profound. but i think it's more complex than that. it depends on what type of order and the purpose of it and vice versa. interesting statement tho to be sure.

ya its real deep and stuff

Anyone else thinking this thread as futile? =P

it called daylight savings for a reason and we have it for a reason
it saves energy ppl, cmon, stop being selfish
not only its aids the environment, it also saves everyone (almost) lots of money
we dont lose an hour b/c it is compensated by the fall back time change so chiiiiill

To answer your original question ali92, I can tell you that in Denmark (and the rest of the EU I believe) we skipped an hour at March 31. Personally I don't mind the loss of one hour, as the clubs around here always adds one hour to their closing times when it happens

order=government
chaos=anarchy

Government was created to keep men in order and allow for a liveable, free state of existance.

You dont see animals having government, do you? They all live in harmony and each requires the other to survive. They don't have that terrible thing called human nature which is the REASON for "order."

Genius can be compared to animals in the sense that a genius, like an animal, knows right from wrong by conscience, not by being told what is right from wrong.

If animals know right from wrong, why do male lions and such kill another's cubs? Also applies for other animals.

first of all, animals act upon their innate instincts, then they apply their learned behavior, and they have hierarchies
bisc 100 - behavior

animals kill other animals for evolutionary reasons (indirectly)
they live the way they live b/c their life has thought them so
they may not be as smart as humans, but they sure do have more organized structures than we do, at least when it comes to reasonable decisions, and the way of life

THANK YOU! I learnt that today at www.timeanddate.com as well! Thanks for the info. That's ALL I was looking for. A simple answer like that. Most of the posts does NOT even come CLOSE to what I was looking for. Is all most of the posts on this thread are, are just OPINIONS and thoughts on DST in general. I see that only ONE person attempted to answer the question and he was sucessful. I guess this shows how lazy a lot of people seem to be. Either that or, their in a hurry to just reply. You may notice that I don't reply too much anymore because I just CAN'T answer most of the questions on the subjects spoken about on here. I saw people ask a question and the only replies for it are "that sucks", "I don't know", etc. If I don't know about a certain topic, I just DON'T reply. I'm not really an ACTIVE poster in here because:
1. I can't type that fast and by the time I reply, there's 3 - 4 more replies up there ahead of me.
2. A LOT of the topics that are posted here, I'm just not interested in.

I apologise if I offended ANYONE but, if anyone's wondering why I don't post like some people on here, THAT'S the reason why. "FULL STOP".

daylight savin time fuckin sucks.

in Sydney it begins in october in ends on the last day of March. I love when daylight savin dissapears coz there's more wanking time in the morning.

and thats their way of life, government is unnecessary... and thats my point.. whats that reasoning method.. whatever youll know when i do it..

genius does not need government
animals do no need goverment
therefore, animals are geniuses...

get it.. just a thought, kinda.
