bjre Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 These is a cheating culture, especially for politicians. Without cheating, politicians can not be elected. And, they enjoy cheating themselves too. That is what the daylight saving all about. Politicians can not solving problem, what they can is only creating new problems. http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/600892While official statistics aren't in, Toronto police say the number of speed- and alcohol-related incidents from Monday to Wednesday was "dramatically" higher than the same period a week earlier. "In one day you go from 7 in the morning being in daylight to darkness," said Sgt. Tim Burrows. "In the afternoon, you were driving home and the sun was not a factor and now all of a sudden you're driving right into it. That can be quite hard on your system." http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199604043341416We used data from a tabulation of all traffic accidents in Canada as they were reported to the Canadian Ministry of Transport for the years 1991 and 1992 by all 10 provinces. A total of 1,398,784 accidents were coded according to the date of occurrence. Data for analysis were restricted to the Monday preceding the week of the change due to daylight savings time, the Monday immediately after, and the Monday one week after the change, for both spring and fall time shifts. Data from the province of Saskatchewan were excluded because it does not observe daylight savings time. The analysis of the spring shift included 9593 accidents and that of the fall shift 12,010. The resulting data are shown in Figure 1Figure 1 Numbers of Traffic Accidents on the Mondays before and after the Shifts to and from Daylight Savings Time for the Years 1991 and 1992.. If politicians really want to saving energy, why can't they just get up early one hour each day, why can't they just change all the public office open and close time an hour earlier each day, why they tend to cheat themselves and every others each year twice more?

WWWTT Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 I personaly hate it when the hour changes! In China daylight savings is not practiced. My wife tells me that around 20 yrs ago the country tried it but dropped the idea because the problems it created were greater than the benefit! Actually the entire country of China is under one time zone! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year! Total fail of the moderation on this site!

WWWTT Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 Isn't this what daylight savings really is anyways?

Boges Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 WAHHHHHH we have to change our clocks back twice a year. Getting up at 7:30 and still seeing no sunlight in October sucks. Apparently if we didn't do the Spring forward thingy in the summer you'd start seeing the sun at 4 am. I much prefer having that sunlight at 9pm than 4am just saying. I'm totally cool with this practice. Quote

Tilter Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 yes, but you would be "cheating." I hope you all realize that you are actually bitching about STANDARD time. We go on Daylight Savings time in the spring. If we never went to DST we wouldn't have to go back to EST BUT the sun would still be in our eyes as we head west on the road home from work. SUCK IT UP Quote
guyser Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 In China daylight savings is not practiced. In China they dont see sunlight in half the country. Too smoggy, so who cares ? Quote

GostHacked Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 I'd rather have some extra light in the evening. I am getting pretty disgusted at driving when it's dark. These new bright white and blue headlights are really damn annoying. I can't see shit. Quote

Moonlight Graham Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 DST "fall back" sucks. Now it's dark at like 5pm. Boo!

Tilter Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 I would way rather have extra light in the afternoon. Id get rid of it. This means that you'd rather have DST as DST gives later hours of sun in the summer. In the winter nature says that the tilt of the earth means that we have less sun no matter what time regimen we follow. You people are really confused. Quote
