I went to Japan twice in 2003 and there was no time difference. Nor was there a time difference when I was there in 2001, 2002, 2004, nor in 2005. There was no time difference in 2006, nor is there a time difference in 2007. My Japanese friends have absolutely no recollection of any time changes, and there is absolutely no record anywhere of any changes to KST post-1988 and JST post-1951.
Think it might be time for you to admit that you're mistaken?

Look at this listing for New York. See how the time changes twice a year?

Now look at Osaka. See how it hasn't changed in at least the past decade?

When I really think about this, it's just not possible to be this dumb and stubborn. We're getting trolled. But it's an interesting new troll tactic. Not just making making controversial statements, but making statements that defy simple, easily verifiable facts. But now he's kind of shot his wad. Even if you think think he's for real, he's proven himself too dumb to argue with. |

Worldwide daylight saving
Today, approximately 70 countries utilize Daylight Saving Time in at least a portion of the country. Japan and India are the only major industrialized countries that do not observe some form of daylight saving.
...
Japan:
In Japan, Daylight saving was introduced after World War II by the U.S. occupation but was dispensed with in 1952, following opposition from farmers. Despite efforts by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry to have daylight saving introduced to cut Japan's energy consumption, opposition from farmers and the Ministry of Education (which was concerned that lighter evenings would entice school children from their homework) has continued to win the day |

It doesn't matter why you are wrong when you are wrong.
It does matter if you never admit it.
A small but significant thing.
Is a Westerner trying to save face when refusing to admit they were wrong? Or is admitting one's mistake the way to save face, and respect! |

Some things are hard for many people I think. Often very small sentences are the hardest to say.
"I was wrong."
"You're right."
"I'm sorry"
"I don't know."
"Here's your money."
"Let's go out."
" I wanna do you."
I love you 
PS.> What the hell is "PWNed" and where did such an abomination of 'language' come from?

| Leave Junior alone. We all know that his reality revolves around faith and has nothing to do with reality. He has faith that time changes, so it must be true! |

| What if, for evidence, he provides a quote from the Koran. Must we then respect his position? The Bible? |

i'll admit that the pilot may have been mistaken when he asked all the passengers to adjust their watches one hour to match local time in Osaka.
To save his face, I remember that it was early in the morning so he might have been a bit slow that day. |

Pilot error? Lucky you landed in the right country.
So you didn't notice the pilot error when you landed? Or when you got your next plane and was an hour early or late? |

Typical of that arrogant asshole to make up someone to blame his own idiocy on.
Even if one were to take him at his word, it still would not explain how he never managed to discover the error subsequently. |

But what we do know for sure, however is that cuthbert here is a pitiful little racist who has made grotesquely hateful, conceited statements glorifying the holocaust...
Isn't that right doggy. |

More likely you were remembering a flight somewhere else.
Spinoza and everyone else, might I remind you of Hanlon's razor? "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." |
