Dear United States Of America,

I dunno bout you guys, I still prefer to use a ruler.

the most "lol" i got out this thread was about canada having milk in bags, but really why do they!?

Depends where you hit it. <3

lol, sure, why not?

Glad I could help.

Face_palm. This. This is what I mean.

Americans, instead of recognizing a better system, they want you to convert your measurements to theirs.

You. GTFO. Now.

What it comes down to as far as I am concerned is this:
Does the United States of America WANT to be like any of the rest of the world? I mean... poor, old, outdated, unable to keep up, needs wartime funding to modernize their society and American demand, ingenuity, and creativity to stay afloat. Looking at all the facts, if we were more like the rest of the world and not so God damn creative, the world would just straight up suck. So where that puts us is right where we want to be: the envy and bane of anyone who can’t keep up with the times, and is always looking to us to lead the way.

As far as all of that war dribble goes, let’s face it. When the US acts too slow, we get in trouble. When the US acts too fast, we get in trouble. There is no winning in the eyes of your rivals, so what matters most to me is that we did act at some point which preserved the US way of life, how many foreign people died before or after we decided to put the “we are law” touch to it doesn’t matter to me. We still rock and I still design roads as linear feet, the subdivision lots are in acres and square feet, and when I take a metric drawing into CAD and turn it into Imperial, it takes 2 commands and I am set. Here in America we have computer programs that go beyond the drafting table and slide rule, when you catch up, let us know.

Too much srsness in this thread now that Ive gone back and reread posts, I thought this was a joke thread. Can we all not agree that there are many countries that are great places to live but also have their downsides and horrible histories :P and stop picking on each other.

Isnt it common knowledge that if you pick on another person they're going to get all defensive, so why do you keep egging them on? you know its just going to go in a circle like "yeah..well..well...no uuuur country sux!" and then they'll be like "no uuuuuurs sux" yall all sound HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.


The WW2 argument is also stupid and should have its own internet law like that one about hitler and nazis unless you're like 100 years old and was actually in WW2 then continue.

The only history flinging that should be going on should be with actual history books to cause physical pain on each other.

Am I the only one who wants the entire world to convert to Kelvin scale? ;3

It is supposed to be a joke thread >.> I don't know why it's getting so serious.

Can't we all just use rulers and calculators the way we want to.

Since when are you the OP?


:(

No ty. I'll stick to Smoots when calculating distances though.

they should make a real life windower where we can use a real life distance plugin and that'd solve some problems. Id assume they'd make a liquid measuring ap soon after.

I lol'd.

WIN!

You win an internets!

ROFLMAO

Like GPS?

FYI to any French Canadians, but most real French despise you. I have this on good authority from French people who are actually FROM FRANCE, and not 300 years decended from French ancestors.

And besides, while the French had a presence there for a long time, the HUGE majority of Canada was British-goverened.

As for the U.K. being in Green on the map, I'm fairly sure that if they are using the Metric system there, it's some sort of clever ruse to fool the rest of Europe into thinking they are not scheming.

Back to the OP, though, as an American, I wish we'd switch to metric all over. I'm in the military and the mixture of metric and "standard" drives me insane. We have rulers in feet/inches and maps with 1 kilometer grid squares.

Something like being the redheaded stepchildren of France?

thats very true.

what stopped germany winning was the money and resources from the USA + hitler's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE idea to attack Russia + England saving Europe's ***

so basically all 3 countries played a huge part while France surrendered and almost *** it all up : D

England was so low on guns and ammunition that the only thing protecting our borders was old people with farmer weapons (home guard)

if the German's ever got passed us in France England would of been ***.

I love how everyone becomes a world war 2 history expert in threads like this. :)

QFT

Heres something else.

Hold your breath.

ENGLAND drives on the left side of the road.

*gasp*

Maps? That's why you become a leader because leaders don't need maps to win wars!
