Oh poor you, where I live the Sun doesn't rise for a month during the winter at all.
But yes, we should just leave the poor clocks alone

Well, if you must live north of the Arctic Circle, I believe that's all on you.
The poll lacks an "I'm not European so I don't care" option.
The poll is missing a: "Daylight savings time all year long." option.
I love daylight savings! Let's have it all year long.

I care about Daylight Saving Time (there may be a referendum on that here at some point), just not as it applies to Europe (since I don't live there).
We don't need separate threads for this issue, do we? One for Europeans and a different one for non-Europeans?
Only the poll relates to Europeans, so you could post your view on daylight savings without voting (or you could ask Ori to change the poll to include non-Europeans).
Also, Ori's link in the first post mentions that if DST was abolished in the UK, time zones would not change but each nation would be free to decide whether to keep to wintertime or summertime (hus possibly effectively changing one's observed time zone).

The poll still excludes people who honestly don't care one way or the other, and want to say so.
There must be some European fence-sitters here.
And for the record, I didn't vote. Nothing in the poll applies to me.

I completely disagree here. I live near detroit so pretty far north. Summer time in june the sun is up at 6am and down at 9-930 on the longest days. Why do you need daylight to 930 as opposed to 830? I mean ok it's fine but in the winter it doesn't get light out in the morning until 9am some days. It's horrible trying to wake up at 6:30am to get kids ready for school and it's pitch black out. Getting dark at 5pm kind of sucks but I'd much rather have it be light in the morning when trying to wake up early and just turn some lights on in the evening.

Apparently DST is when the clock goes forward in the spring. DST ends when clocks re-adjust backwards in the Fall. Hence: Sommerzeit. This way, the sun comes up while you're still sleeping, and sets just as you're getting ready for bed. Regardless, it's a silly concept and should be abolished.
Yes kind of dreamworld
Also nice in rock
here my favorite of the Amsterdam Rock Band Brainbox in 1969

I applaud you for that Lonnie Smith song in the selection. Man's a genius.

I'm Ok with summertime, but I am opposed to fish jumping.
I quite like it except for the very first day when we're robbed of one hour.
Well actually now that I don't have strict time to get up the negative part is irrelevant, and I just like it. But if it's really causing an increase in the death rate and making people struggle with sleep, we should get rid of it (if there's data behind it).

People die too easily. Summertime provides natural selection making humankind stronger.
