Well it is my last name but it's my user name so go for it!

Yes that's a compliment, and yup cuz that's my name!

Also, in my opinion, it would be morally wrong to make our elders switch to a system that they do not want to, because yes it would be the hardest for them to switch.

Look I'm not trying to get you to switch to our system, I'm saying there is no reason to switch, yes the metric system is simpler and makes more since, but I don't want to learn a new system so I shouldn't have to, I don't need to. If our system didn't work just fine I'd be all for switching, but there's no reason to switch just because the rest of the world does it.

I was actually going to give an example but it would have been too painful lol

You're 14 and you can speak eloquently, we need more like you pasta

But every county has stupid people, there's no reason to single out America, which people do all the time. I do have a lot of pride in my country and for good reason.

I guess so, it's just very saddening to see the place I love constantly being mocked and ridiculed for no good reason.

So why single out America?

That's why I said this wasn't directed at the picture specifically. And easier for who? I've grown up my whole life without using the metric system and our measurements are basically hard wired into me, and there's millions of people like me. I don't want to learn a whole new system so why should we switch?

I think it's saying that air traffic control was wanting the height and position of the aircraft but she was too dumb to figure out that's what they wanted so he gave up trying to coach her down and just prayed

I agree that many Americans are like this, but all of these people on FunSubstance are always talking about acceptance and being nice and not being hateful yet they constantly insult America and anything else they don't agree with. And to whom this description fits, you are a bunch of egotistical hypocrites. You're rude and hateful all the time. I do realize this picture was very lighthearted, so I'm not talking about just this picture

I guess this was talking about the general population, I was simply making a point, that a lot of intelligence has gone into creating our military among many other things that are great about America. The general population is not the most intelligent as a whole, I'll give you that, but we're not stupid.

Why thank you! And I wish the same to you even though you didn't say anything about the new year lol

Thanks! :) it's all good cuz I think 2014 is gonna be awesome, I've got lots of plans!
