MonteLDS says (9:35 AM):

MonteLDS says (9:42 AM): We have more than cannada and that all that matters MonteLDS says (9:42 AM): Check wiki MonteLDS says (9:42 AM): I got to go MonteLDS says (4:35 PM): So what does the usa have half a billion Andrew says (4:36 PM): http://www.census.gov/main/www/popclock.html Andrew says (4:36 PM): how do you not know this? Andrew says (4:37 PM): i find it somewhat disturbing that you thought billions of people live in the U.S. MonteLDS says (4:37 PM): Because I don't read census pages Andrew says (4:37 PM): its fairly common knowledge that 300million live in the u.s. and there is 6+ billion in the world MonteLDS says (4:38 PM): I think it is b/c all of these "joke" cities we have Andrew says (4:38 PM): are you not taught things like this in american schools? MonteLDS says (4:39 PM): Do u know how long ago It was since I was in school taught this kind of pointless info Andrew says (4:40 PM): its not pointless info, the fact you don't know simple stuff like this shows a great level of ignorance MonteLDS says (4:40 PM): The argument is trying to tell a large num of ppl that we need to start using the crappy metric system and temps in c MonteLDS says (4:40 PM): So u think your all that b/c u know how many ppl are in the usa MonteLDS says (4:41 PM): Give me a break MonteLDS says (4:42 PM): That's just arrogance on your part Andrew says (4:42 PM): The point is 6.3 billion people in the world, roughly 96% of the whole worlds population uses the metric system, why is your country still using out dated inefficent system MonteLDS says (4:43 PM): Yes and everyone thought the world was flat too Andrew says (4:44 PM): a lot of people in your country still do MonteLDS says (4:44 PM): Here do u get this arrogant idea frok MonteLDS says (4:44 PM): From* MonteLDS says (4:45 PM): I am possibly going lose cell signal as I go thru the backroads Andrew says (4:45 PM): you are the one coming off as arrogant trying to defend Americas non-use of the metric system MonteLDS says (4:45 PM): Just as a fair warning Andrew says (4:45 PM): k MonteLDS says (4:45 PM): We don't have to use the metric system is what I am saying Andrew says (4:47 PM): why do you resist using it though when all other countries in the world have converted over to it, your isolated as one of the only that still uses it, practically all scentific research is done in metric even in the U.S. but America as a society resists changing for no real logical reason MonteLDS says (4:52 PM): Because we would have to reteacj millions MonteLDS says (4:53 PM): Its not that easy Andrew says (4:53 PM): the rest of the world did it, 6+ billion people MonteLDS says (4:56 PM): Good for them MonteLDS says (4:56 PM): The USA is the largest country doing it this way MonteLDS says (4:56 PM): I don't know the history of this.. But u sure seem to Andrew says (4:57 PM): so your main reason for not switching is that you are too lazy to relearn and couldn't be bothered to even phase it in over 20 years? MonteLDS says (4:57 PM): No, that is your tag for a reason Andrew says (4:57 PM): the USA is one of the only remaining countries doing it this way MonteLDS says (4:57 PM): We don't have to change at world opion Andrew says (5:00 PM): well its a backward inefficent system thats why the rest of the world moved away from it, america doesn't have to change but its isolated as one of the only countries that still uses it, its obsolete MonteLDS says (5:07 PM): The USA is still a world leader MonteLDS says (5:07 PM): Despite Andrew says (5:10 PM): that has nothing to do with this argument about metric Andrew says (5:10 PM): do you mind if i post this metric debate we have had on Netphoria? I want to get other people input on it MonteLDS says (5:19 PM): Sure MonteLDS says (5:19 PM): I don't care Andrew says (5:19 PM): haha ok MonteLDS says (5:20 PM): The fact that the USA is still a world leader was to point out the whole metric thing is meaning less in the big scheme of things Andrew says (5:21 PM): you don't know what you are talking about |

One of just 35 million people, less than the population of California, wants you to think metric. How arrogant... Last edited by Corgan's Bluff : 08-12-2018 at 11:49 PM. |

We don't use metric because it's not familiar. I know exactly what 85 F feels like. If you told me it's 29 C outside, I have no sense of what that means. I'm 6 ft tall. No one here would know what I mean if I said I'm 1.8 m tall. It sounds like I'm a hobbit. For science, metric is the standard and is what we learn. I think it works when we don't have an intuitive sense of the numbers. We might as well say the moon is 384,000 km away. The numbers are arbitrary at that scale, so miles don't make any more sense than km.
Billions of people in the US are familiar with the current system, but I think metric is becoming more common. |

The only measurement the US likes which is outside the norm and which I will defend is Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit has smaller units than Celsius, so you actually get a more precise read of the temperature without using decimals
Still, we don't NEED to know the difference between "60-70" degrees in ten demarcations as opposed to ~five and a half. But as a fan of meteorology, I do like Farenheit's precision. Last edited by redbreegull : 08-13-2018 at 09:15 PM. |

There was this thing where he posted about how editing was delayed for his creepy SF video, and someone responded 'well of course it is when you fucking suck at everything else'
can anyone find that? |
