Still we're working on it, it's not like we aren't doing anything about it. Yet every few weeks a thread inevitably pops up with someone pissing and moaning about the US "refusing" to switch to the metric system, and how they think we're just being lazy. (or some other BS argument that amounts to insulting the intelligence of the population) The differences in the system are not lost on me, but being insulted for using one over the other baffles me. Especially since we had zero control over which system we were conditioned to use when growing up.Dethenger said:
I'm just kinda sick of it. No I don't read the threads typically, but I already know that most of the posts will include that same infuriating mentality. It's an attitude that simply shouldn't have a place to fester on our forums. I don't say that because it's people bashing the US, I say it because I take issue with the illogical prejudice in general, especially since it comes from a community that has a history of being rather accepting of cultural diversity. Yes, I'll go so far as to so that it's allowed to happen because right now it's "cool" to dislike the US, the same way it's "cool" to go around disliking a popular game based purely on hearsay. The latter is less troubling than the former, but the same close minded/prejudice mentality seems to be at work.
Also I'm Amurkin an we're clearly the bestest country.
