Fall back is good, spring forward is awful. Should we stop messing with the clocks?

Yes. It should just be one time all year long. It causes more problems than it solves.
 
Here daylight savings starts on the 24th September.

It's a waste of time tbh.
 
I hate it when we lose an hour but I love it when we get an extra hour.

I think it shouldn't be a thing though.
 
It's pointless and it's beyond time we get rid of it. Everyone will get used to it and be happy. :P

Nay.
 
I couldn't care either way

most (90 percent), of my clocks are automatic

also, I love the darker nights, and though I'd still get them anyway, so nice to have the warning
 
One thousand percent yes. I don't understand why we haven't stopped using it already.

we don't gain or lose a second. all that clock changing does is move the time most people are up and about "daylight" is. daylight hours will continue to become shorter until that date in december... one of the solstices... shortest "day" of the year. then days will slowly get longer till the solstice in june.
 
doesn't bother me but i see no point having daylight saving :dontknow:

is this an example of the ULTIMATE in political stupidity? think of the major issues that politicians either can't or won't agree on... no compromise. please don't tell me daylight savings time is that politically important.
 
Here we go again. Going to quit saving daylights now. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Ditch Daylight Savings Time; it sucks having to change clocks twice a year.
 
I honestly don't see the point of daylight savings time. Even the name is dumb. You're not saving any daylight; it's still the same amount. I live in a place that doesn't do it and things are just fine here. So yeah, get rid of it. :coffee:
 
I am definitely all for getting rid of the time change. The problem I see is that for some stupid reason, many constituenceis are making DST the permanent time rather than Standard Time. Damn it, I want Standard year round, not Daylight. Ontario has actually passed a law to make us run on DST year-round but it is conditional on our neighbours (Quebec and the US states around us) doing the same. Which makes sense. It's bad enough trying to do business across time zones without people who are supposed to be in the same time zone also being on different times.

And I'd rather everyone stayed on DST because I'd rather end up in the Mountain time zone than Central.

Does not matter so much to me which one is decided on; just stop the changes, dammit! :verymad:
