    sorry to hear DOD schools sucked that bad. I know my school district wasn't the only one to have those text books

        Thanks a fucking lot, assholes! Another good day wasted because you jackasses are stuck in the metric system!

        Step in from the stone ages and go with Inches and Feet! Millimeters, centimeters, and meters so passe!
        the ENTIRE world uses the metric system.... why do you think that is?

        probably because it's more logical to use, and we as americans are just too dumb and lazy to learn it so WE hinder the rest of the world with OUR fucked up measurement system.

        If you wanna blame anyone, blame lazy ignorant americans for not learning it and using it like the REST of the world.

        and before you make yourself look stupid, yes I AM an american (and I know my metric system) it takes about 20 minutes to learn, are you stupid? or just lazy?

            Has the fact that most of the world's population use the metric system escaped you?

                    Use it widely that is. All of Europe for example is very unimportant. Australia is even less important, and Canada is way down the list from there. It's just how it is.

                      did you learn it in school? Maybe it was just PA schools that required it.

                            Its proven that the metric system is more accurate.

                              It's also more stupid. Kilograms? Jesus Christ, what the fuck? Only the simple minded would fall for such a scam.

                                  It might be because that is a standard :-)

                                  Tho tis hard for some to realise the US is not the centre of the world and many cannot actually spell in English - so what hope??

                                  PS.. Note the spelling of "centre" - it never was "center" - that's just the version for those at kindergarten...

                                              The whole world use metric. It's far more acurate. BTW: even if you read physics books on an unversity in the US you'll use metric, your own scientists use metric...

                                              The problem is that the american ppl are just too dumb....
                                              I'm just a newbie.

                                                  The problem is that the american ppl are just too dumb....
                                                  Big deal. A few egghead hippies locked away from the real world use it? So what? When the time comes for them to figure out how many cups go in a gallon they'll be pretty fucked, won't they?
