really? If I ask an american when indepenence day is he/she are most likely to say 4th of july.. not july the 4th food for thought
Interesting point Freckles, however many will also say July 4th. I have seen both ways used by different people for any date. To me it doesn't matter which way someone writes the date as long as it is not numeric.
Wow..if we can get this kind of response about time...I cannot wait forknivesand forks and why Americans don't use their utensils correctly. Why, shucks, I just love switching that knife and fork......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,......back and forth,.......OK, finished eating, time for looking at my calendar......wait......my American calendars.........or myeuro-peoncalenders. Darn, I am in aquandarynow. Gosh.....forgot, I have some that start with Sunday but I just pulled one out that starts with Monday and they are both American calendars....what gives here....is their some American calendar company, secretly beinginfiltratedby aeuro-peonin a three-piece suit.
Do I dare go to bed, should I alert counterterr-ism......am I over reacting. Am I off my meds.....am I on my meds?What is this...another topic.....I have lost all touch with the topic that started all this.
I know..I am going to start a forum topic....on people who cannot stay on topic...how would I do that...what topic would I start with...no topic...many topics with no relation to each other.....ahhhh....only topics that have nothing to do with nudism.....that would be a good topic.
Here's a curious note - when you provide a review for a nude location and indicate the date you visited, your date is recorded as yyyy-mm-dd. So the site is indeed diverse, with a little bit for everyone. Maybe Rodney King's dream - "Can't we all just get along?" - is being realized here at TN. Can world peace be far behind?

World peace is closer than you think, Bicycle! I just noted in my sent messages box that sometimes international time (24 hour clock) is used and sometimes US time (12 hour clock) is used. It's wonderful to know that the date and time stamp on this site can be as diverse as it's members...

It is just time and date....abstract ideas at best.....we really dont need to get our towels in a twist over this minutae. Tomato, Tomaaato.

Your statements just reiterate thetired old propaganda that people with out the ability to do their ownthinking or research believe. I'm not even going to bother to setyou straight because it would do no good if you believe yourstatements or would even make them it's would be pointless for me totry an argue with you illogical assumptions. As far as yourforefathers, fighting for this country, who asked them to, besidesthe government who used them for their own gains? As I said there isno use in arguing with someone who's just going to parrot back theparty line stories.You all obviously are part of theproblem and not the solution so I will no longer try an debateanything with you because you don't know what you're talking about,try having your own thought sometime.You are right I miss stated thepopulation by about a billion, sorry, it still doesn't disprove mypoint that a country of roughly 300 million shouldn't force theirnarrow agenda on the world. That agenda being, to do what evernecessary to increase the amount of loans taken out by the Federalreserve and world bank both controlled by private entities. Forcingpeople into a state of slavery and the inability to governthemselves. The USA uses 'helping' people and countries as a guiseto controlling them, grow up.
I believe you hate the United States very much. Fortunately, you live here and not in a country such as Iran, where within seconds of what you have spouted, you would be up to your eyeballs in bovine excrement, literally. Since this is a nudist site, and not a political site how about we just agree to disagree.
Using your own quote from your homepage, "I can build anything from almost any material. I'm fluent in all things technology. I'm a lover of languages, which means I tend to read a lot. I've deeply fascinated and frightened by the human psyche. I don't subscribe to most social norms, I consider them brainwashing or part of a marketing scheme, I draw my own lines."
It is best that you go down your own path, because very few people, according to you have ever had an original thought. We must really bore you.
Getting back to the subject, for our computerized world, the logical alignment for standardized dates would be year first, then month, then date, e.g., 2010/02/14, or 20100214. This makes date searching and sorting extremely simple. Of course, the issue is muddied by calendars that are entirely dissimilar to the western Julian/Gregorian calendars that hang on our walls. For instance, in the calendar used by Jews, 14 February 2010 = 30th of Sh'vat, 5770. The Chinese calendar is even more confusing to westerners, although it and its peers have been largely supplanted by the Gregorian calendar for daily use. In an ideal world, there would be one standardized calendar and one way of writing the date. However, this is a world of great cultural diversity, and people who have been using systems of dating for decades, centuries or millennia are not about to abandon them just to be "correct". For scientific use, particularly in astronomy, the Julian date is the standard. It has no years or months. It is the interval of time in days and fractions of a day since January 1, 4713 BC, Greenwich noon. The whole Julian day for 2009/02/14 is 2455242. It won't be replacing our Gregorian calendars any time soon. For the curious, here's a converter: Julian Day and Civil Date Calculator
AND...speaking of the Chinese calendar, to those who follow that, Happy New year - the year of the Tiger began last Friday I believe.
Today on the Jewish calendar it's the 2nd of Adar (I have one on my desk).
If a date is written 1/5/10 - I know it's either Jan.5 or May 1st. However, the owner of this site is in the US.
I can get used to anything. LOL
