more like we’d rather stay with the stupidness and inconvenience we know rather than change anything, no matter how much better it would be
and you’re agreeing with it. repeatedly. though i don’t know what you think the “debate” here is. are you trying to get me to agree with “no, we shouldn’t change to metric”? because that’s not going to happen. but you can keep trying if that makes you feel better

I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

and your premise is flawed. lots of americans think the switch is worth it, and have thought that for over 100 years. so far i’ve ignored your “my opinion = america’s opinion” fallacy, but this has to end at some point. so, think what you want. i concede nothing.

So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.
