Why don't we use the metric system?

Our American system of measurements is incredibly stupid.

5280 FT in a mile is a dumb measurement.

Pounds are dumb.

The gallon is fricking dumb.

Just because the Romans came up with these measurements doesn't mean we should keep using them.

Hell, those stupid bastards lost to barbarian tribes.

Why do conservatives want to keep us behind the rest of the world?

There should be 100 seconds in an minute, 100 minutes in an hour, 100 hours in a day, 100 days in a month, and 10 months in a year.

Completely agreed. 10 inches isn't nearly as impressive as 25 centimeters.

Ain't broke?

It was stupid from the start.

Did you know that the reason a ft is 12 inches is because that was the length of some limey king's foot? It wasn't always 12 inches.

Every time you support the foot you are basically kneeling before the British crown.

Why do you hate America?

Not all europeans use metric in all regards. I know the British use some non-metric stuff. I asked them when they use that and when they use metric and they couldn't explain it. I fricking hate metric though and I think it's silly.

The rest of the world should change to our system. If we're the number one country in the world we can't be switching to the lowly metric system like the commoners in the rest of the world.

Because we are by God, America.

The whole world does a bunch of other silly shite that we don't care about either.

And as far as Harry Truman being "dumb", well, he had the balls to drop the bomb. Twice.

I'd be particular about who I was calling dumb, junior.
