Standard time sucks; it causes it to be dark way too early.
Leave the time on Daylight savings time all year. |

Yeah gets dark too early for those of us forced to work 9-5 My mom supposedly had an eccentric uncle who refused to reset his watch and was late most of the time for church when he forgot about the change |

I just wish they would decide to stick with one or the other.
There's absolutely no good reason to switch the clocks twice a year. How about next spring the powers-that-be just announce "you can leave your clock as-is?" Wasn't the whole idea of daylight savings time created back in WWI or something to keep people from having to use so much electricity? Fucking retarded that we just keep running with outmoded concepts like this. |

I prefer Daylight savings time, as well.
I would rather have more daylight after work, so I can get on my bicycle more often. Ain't no street lights around here, and the bugs are terrible after dark. 
I already tried suggesting summer/winter hours at work; no dice.

Makes no difference to me what they do with the time. One hour one way or the other is not going to effect my life enough to stress over it for dang sure. You are bad at GD. You should be raging about this, as you have no control over it and it makes almost no difference to your everyday life. That is the perfect thing to pop a gasket about on GD. :) |

Standard time fan here. DST sucks. The sun should be at the zenith at noon. Early sunrise in summer? Hey, it's summer, get used to it. People are so disconnected from nature nowadays, it's ridiculous.  I don't give a shit where the sun is at noon. I do give a shit that it gets dark at 5pm in the winter time, when it could be 6pm instead. |

This is Arizona. Ain't nobody got time fo dat here. You guys have it right in Arizona. I'm one state over and Standard Time sucks. I hate it when I cross the dam in the wintertime and get into Arizona the time is different. Then it's different again when I cross back into Nevada. A real PITA. |

Standard time sucks; it causes it to be dark way too early. Leave the time on Daylight savings time all year. Because the length of the day is a constant. Riiiight. Exactly. Anyone who wants time to stay the same year-round has never thought it through. Get a piece of paper (or a spreadsheet if you prefer). Write the months across the top, then fill in the sunrise and sunset times for three rows: -standard time all year -daylight saving time all year -standard time in the winter, daylight saving time all summer If you do this, it becomes obvious that switching is the only logical way. With daylight saving time all year, it gets light too late in the day in the winter. With standard time, in December and January the sun doesn't rise till after 7am. November and February are not much better. If you ran Daylight Saving Time year round, during December and January the sun wouldn't rise till after 8am. Kids would be walking to school in the dark. It would be seriously depressing. With standard time all year, we would not get as much daylight to enjoy the nice evening hours after work. The sun would rise hours before most people get up, and set while people would still like to be outside enjoying the weather. Yes, it's an inconvenience to switch. I think one of our issues is the nomenclature. In England, they just call it "summer time" and "winter time". This makes more sense and doesn't have a bias. "Daylight Saving Time" makes no sense and positions the change for ridicule ("you can't save daylight lol") and for people who just don't want to do something different ("we should just keep normal time all year"). Summer Time and Winter time avoids those issues and just makes more sense. |
