Metric System

europeans are viewed as lame to americans so we distance ourselves from their corny and nerdy aspects

for example, "kilometer" sounds much more nerdy than "mile", so if you say kilometer you just killed the mood. way to kill the mood you fat nerd. etc.

Seriously, convert already. It made high school math (and life) alot easier.

That's why you call a kilometer a "click." "Ten Clicks South of your position" sounds more badass than "Ten Miles South of your position." Military got me using metric in distanes, and college sciences sealed the deal. It's a pain converting back and forth. I think we are converting (read labels on canned goods and water bottles), but just slowly. Just until everyone kind of 'gets it,' or everyone that grew up without the system is school is dead .

ten clicks huh? what are we using computer mice here? oh look its the WoW nerd and his 8800gt look go get him

whats next, ten drag and drops? ten system32's? ten linuxes? instead of joining the military maybe they should just write newegg customer reviews all day

I've been taught both, however I just like ours more, no real reason. If everyone preffered everything because it is easier nobody would be married, all 100% of the populations around the world would be on welfare and mexicans would take over.

You're exaggerating...Europeans own Americans

Exaggerated, possibly. Europeans owning Americans? I'd say you take the cake there.
