I was wondering what would happen if we as a society ran on daylight savings time year round. By this, I mean what might happen if we ran our clocks one hour ahead, and kept them there 365 days a year?

Why don't people buy American anymore? This country used to be so faithful to our products, but now we resort to foreign made goods, which in turn makes us take jobs from our own people.
Why don't you buy American?

I just met my new neighbors, who are from up north....After I hear them talk, I don't even want to open my mouth for fear that they will think I'm dumb/ignorant (like the stereotype goes). What should I do?

With a BB contestant being evicted for using the "N" word, does this not defeat the purpose and originality of the show ie a reflection of human behaviour put under the microscope? If a person breaks the law I think they should be handed over to the police, but to evict because you use a word, and not necessesarily in a way which you deem to be offencive, then surely we are seeing a reflection of society, to then evict that person is surely gagging a part of society, who either rightly or wrongly behave in this manner?
I'm Irish by origin, so should I now call the police when someone calls me Paddy or Pat or just call the police when I hear an Irish joke. Where does it stop?! Must I refrain from tellING Irish jokes also, incase I offend my fellow countrymen? As a nation can we no longer laugh at ourselves? The world has gone PC mad, your thoughts please?
Did you hear the one about the Irish...........CENSORED UNSUITABLE FOR HUMAN LAUGHTER.................
