I'm all for it .. "get up earlier".. no.. I'm a night person, I get up at 7am and would enjoy an extra hour of light to do activities in a 9-5 job. Call me lazy if you like, but I'm up until 1am many nights. I'm not loathe to change the habbits of my last 20 years,
I presume you got your grammar wrong and meant 'I'm loathe to change...'.
You keep demonstrating that you are lazy (your words), and unwilling to change your lifestyle, and would rather have the rest of the world change to suit you. That is selfish and inconsiderate as well as unwilling to make better time management decisions.
While we're there about time QLD got rid of the archiac half trading hours of Australia and the rest of the world in fact. Supermarkets closed at 5pm on a weekend, what a joke.
More opening hours = more jobs, more growth, more money for the economy.
So... you want more time off for leasure, but you want others in Qld to give up there night and weekend leasure time to work extra hours to suit you. Talk about the height of selfishness and hypocricy.
Why don't you come up here and work those extra hours at night or weekend then! Talk about bloody poor time management. If you cant get to the supermarket between 8.00am and 9.00pm weekdays and 5.00pm saturdays you really do deserve a medal for imcompetent time management.
Your economics is as lousy as your DST arguement. I think there is an odd 24 hr supermarket where it is warranted. In some cases shopping hours have been shortened because it was unprofitable, except for the major supermarkets who prictice preditory pricing. The can afford to run at a loss for awhile to force small business out of business, then when they have no competition they put the prices up higher.
Majority lives in cities, majority has the say.
I have already pointed out the falasy of that 'dumb' arguement.
You would do well to remember where you water, food, building materials etc and much of the nations wealth comes from, not to mention where your rubbish and sewerage goes to, before you start ranting on that line too much.
I'll spell it out for you. Cities are hopelessly unsustainable places to live independantly. You don't even have the basics for living without the goodwill and cooperation of rural folks. Another point often missed by folks like you, using your divide of city v country, is that much more national wealth is generated from rural areas than city areas. Even the banks and big financial institutions depend on something from rural areas for their turnover.
No, and you don't give a damn about the people that may like daylight savings time, and disregarding the advantages it may offer. Same perspective, you're just on the other side of the fence!
No, it is not the same perspective from a different side of the fence at all. We work quite well with the natural order of time and don't want any thing different. You are the one wanting to change the time, but not your lifestyle decisions. You won't succeed screwing the facts around trying to play guilt tricks on us.
The fundamental fact is that TRUE time is fixed... that's how nature is.
It is not time that is being changed, it is just the perception of time that you want changed because you can't or won't organise yourself to get to bed early enough and or too lazy to get up a bit earlier in the morning.
All it boils down to is that you want to reshedule the world around you because, as you admit, you are lazy and won't make the necessary reasonable decisions about changing your own lifestyle, but are happy to make others change their lifestyle and suffer inconvience to suit your selfishness and incompetance.
