  • We should have daylight savings time year round

    I don't like it getting dark so early. Is there any valid reason not to have daylight savings time year round

    So kids don't get run over getting to school. Or something like that.

        then they get run over coming home from school

        We used to have 6th grade centers in my city (part of integration with the black neighborhoods). We used to get out of school at 4:05 PM. It would be dark by the time the school bus dropped us off at the bus stop.

        Though that's not as much of a problem now they have no more 6th grade centers- we went back to segregation . The elementary kids get out at like 3:15 PM.

          We should get rid of the whole concept of minute, hour, day, week, and year. There's absolutely no reason why we can't measure stuff in kiloseconds.

            So why does the Earth turn on it's axis EXACTLY once a day? and revolve around the Sun (pretty much) EXACTLY once a year? Thats why those units are chosen, because they fit! EXACTLY

              But it takes 365.25 days to revolve around the Sun, not 365 exactly.

                  The only good part of daylight saving is it ending.

                  Soon I will be getting up at 4am just to get to work.

                    Are you a farmer or something? My point is that those periods are pretty irrelevant to human experience. I, for one, wouldn't mind lenghtening the day by an hour or so. Yes, the relationship between wake-up time and daylight will vary, but that's not actually relevant to modern civilisation.:P

                        Wouldn't that make the nights shorter? I need my sleep....

                          Well, then sleep during the day
                          Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
