My point: Fahrenheit is an arbitrary unit.Originally Posted by Bigglesflysundun
oh I am so sorry. Celsius was invented after the metric system was it?
Sub-point: The international standard unit for temperature is Kelvin, which shares the same units as Celsius.
Your point is?
I'm still baffled as to why anyone even cares what the U.S. is doing if we're so stupid and irrelevant.
We invented pizza-stuffed pizza crust, so fuck off.
America: Promoting obesity and early death since 1783.
That is right. No fat englishmen til then
Pretty much.
Right
Wasn't our system here first?

Song: Proud To Be An American
If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘ Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.
That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘ Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
Why does it matter that much, imperial to metric conversions and vis-versa is extremely easy to do in your head. Practice for a month or two and you rarely use a standard calculator.

The US would convert if our penises were that small too.
Saying you have a 18cm long dick is so much more manly than saying you have a 7 incher.
The use of the metric system makes you seem more intelligent and thus, more attractive.
The reason people wanted to switch to metric is because it's easier, ergo, it takes less intelligence to use.
No. It makes more sense, ergo, it is not retarded.
Only because you have 10 fingers. People in the US know how to count without them.
I beg to differ. I am in the US. I am going to start a movement "America to Metric." ATM for short.
Yes, however in regards to length the imperial system is the norm(even in metric countries).
ex. You go to Home Depot and by a 4"x4"x8', You but 1sq.ft tiles for flooring...etc.
The ability to convert these numbers back and forth denotes intellect.
That's not what you said.
I agree that speaking two languages takes more intelligence than speaking one. However just speaking in metric is only going to impress your grandmother.
