There's nothing conspiratorial about a 13 month calendar; it's very doable and realistic.


There isn't a lot that virtually all of the western world agree with. There are about 40 calendars in use but virtually everyone uses the Georgian calendar for business transactions.

Do you suggest that we get the world to agree to a change or that we go to a duel calendar  model ?  Neither seem a good idea to me one not possible the other stupid.


I suggest that the whole world adopts this calendar.


The positive is that you didn't choose the stupid option just the impossible.


I think what you're trying to say is 'you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube?'


What would be the odds of getting 200 countries to make a change that virtually nobody cares about.


We really need only one country to adopt that change - China.

Once they adopt it, the rest of the world will eventually follow.

A lot of effort and money which will have no effect on people's lives.

It's much easier to learn a new calendar than it is to learn a new language.

Here's something interesting:

The first week of 2021 commences Monday 4th January. So, the first day of the first week of the year is 4th January. 1st January is in the last week of 2020.

So, why are we celebrating the New Year when the first day of the year is actually 4th January?

With a 13 month calendar we wouldn't have this problem - because 1st January is always going to be the first day or the first week of the year.

The world is falling apart and you want to change the date it finally collapses?

Pourquoi? 

Pardonez moi - j'ais un ami de Madagasque ... il fait bien, mais il est gaie et épouse de un ami.  Quel domage, mais c'est la vie, non?

Moi?  Je cherche les femmes! .....

1st January is not the first day of the year this year - 4th January is the first day of the year.

NYE should be on Sunday 3rd January.

The only argument anyone has for it is they think it's a good idea to force that toothpaste back into the tube.....  Sad

This Region of the World needs a lot of 'reform' and change.
The obvious is the disengagement of 'old' cultures like British and Aboriginal that seem 'chained' to the past. Or the American influence which acts more like a Criminal each day ironically. Baseball caps and a love of Rap - these are the boys of your 'aussie' neighbourhood. You can see that 'future' growing like a mile, more than a kilometre in Australia. Throw in all the other nations and the Aboriginals are more than happy to share with 'FOREIGN' entities on 'their' land (like British, America, China, Iran, etc).

...but they will never acknowledge the fact that the newly sprouting  'Natives' who seek a pristine Australian experience beyond the Aboriginals being a 'Portal' for all things African, like Islam is in the Middle-East.
Not everyone wants to become a 'Farmer' of the Land, especially when African people want that destiny more.

Calendar reform is a good way to start the year and probably piss a lot of Americans off, who are still stuck in the past of Imperial conversions, not modern Metric. Bad enough they live at the 'End of the World' and don't get to set their fireworks off at the 'Start' where Australia is.  Wink

Planting of a crop using women workers and sticks will lead to mass starvation..........

Abolish cultures as a social yardstick and we're all on Easy Street... no more arguments, eh?  Then all we need to do is gather up any who argue and ship 'em out!!

NZ is a nice place - let's see how our activist types get on there with their shenanigans.... I understand NZ Mussos don't parade the streets carrying signs about beheading... more civilised than the lot we got.... like unleaded petrol, given a choice, Australia picks the worst of the litter... the rabid Middle Eastern types with their ADHD and mental retardation due to inbreeding often amplified by drug use and criminal behaviour without laws.....

Incorrect
Pretty much every reform you have proposed causes more problems than it is supposed to fix.
