Actual poster from 1917 that made me laugh. A lot.
Also, those motherfuckers are measuring the weight of those balls in kilograms, aren't they?

American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren't being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.
thank you, again, for illustrating my point. again. care to say the same thing a third time? for the people who just aren't getting it?
By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say "you're wrong, no I will not elaborate". If you're not interested in having a conversation then don't respond, no one is forcing you to do this.
If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I'll be here.
i made a point:
and you're agreeing with it. repeatedly. though i don't know what you think the "debate" here is. are you trying to get me to agree with "no, we shouldn't change to metric"? because that's not going to happen. but you can keep trying if that makes you feel better
I don't care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren't switching purely because they hate change, and they don't care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I've been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I'm arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don't think the switch is worth it.
and your premise is flawed. lots of americans think the switch is worth it, and have thought that for over 100 years. so far i've ignored your "my opinion = america's opinion" fallacy, but this has to end at some point. so, think what you want. i concede nothing.
So you do know what I've been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.
Touch grass.
i haven't been arguing at all lol just observing that you're demonstrating my point
it did ruin a mission to Mars once though
