Yes, so you could help the Soviets to get half of Europe and let tens of millions of Negroes and Arabs come to the rest of it. Good work.
Policies of Colonization are what initially let the Negroes and Arabs into Europe in the 18th to 20th centuries. Alexander Dumas was a mulatto to cite one famous example.

Sweden had almost no colonies and certainly not any Arab ones. We had a little bridgehead in Africa for some decades and a West Indian colony for about 100 years (St. Barthelmy) and New Sweden in today's Delaware.

Sweden's Colonial period was less extensive and shorter lived than other Colonial powers to be sure, but there was one. In any case my post specified Europe, not Sweden, and the 18th to 20th centuries not any earlier colonizations/incursions.

Daylight saving ends for us at the end of this month. I have never been bothered by it. It was tried out in 1991 here and then everyone voted against having it again.

Then the year before last the government started it again without giving anyone a choice about it. We are meant to have it for three years and then vote on it.

Do try to keep up with the important states like Victoria  :green:

Usually business push for things like this so they can keep up with everyone else. We've had DST since from whenever I can remember.

It blew me away to learn that all of China is in the one single time zone.

The joys of the socialist paradise. They are also not allowed to own guns.

They ban guns, they blow people's brains out for petty crimes and force their families to pay the cartridge, so why can't they fuck with the daylight?

In old, nice Soviet Union, they tried to force rivers to run towards their sources. If you're an almighty commie, why would you back off for the laws of nature and such rubbish?

For us it seems pretty insane, but they are just numbers on a clock. They can't change when the sun rises and sets.

I wish you lived in a place where you were not allowed to talk about guns.
