If the U.S really wants a NWO, it'd be using the Metric System by now

If the U.S really wants a NWO, it'd be using the Metric System by now
Wouldn't it be wise to implement ONE SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT worldwide for a NWO?

Why the fuck doesn't the U.S. use the Metric System.

There are only 2 OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD that don't use it--one of them's Liberia, can't remember the other.

And don't say, "cuz americans are stupid", the Metric System is fucking easy, and the switch would take less than six months to accomplish.

So, WTF??

The Metric system and soccer are both NWO plots!
LOL!

They're already infiltrated the soda pop industry, but I wouldn't say it's a complete NWO takeover until WeightWatchers starts weighing its members in kilograms!

see, obviously there is no fucking NWO, otherwise our system of measurement would've changed decades ago.

They tried back in the 70's to convert our system to metric...I remember seeing the old gas pumps and remember the teachers struggling with our lack of "getting it". It was the one time, the American People united and said "NO" to the metric conversions.

Thank GOD too!
anything after 'but' is bullshit!

Re: If the U.S really wants a NWO, it'd be using the Metric System by now
It's part of the dumbing down. If you make it too easy for people to gain the math skills to see the government draining every last drop of blood, sweat, and tears from your country and neighbors..... Hell a lot of the peril can be easily seen with a few of the numbers from the USGS if you could understand the meteric math..... First they have to make the masses stupid and isolated from the rest of our brothers and sisters and just plain cold hard facts in the world, before they can "shut the trap door."

Granted,I prefer metric in everything but building a 2x4 becomes a 5x10??? A cubic meter of 'crete becomes what 28/29 cubic feet?

That's not entirely true,

a divided world would be advantageous to those who want to control it.

They just need to compartmentalize different pyramid systems for each area, as long as they're at the top of each pyramid they care not how it operates.

Democracy and the united states are pawns of the elite just like china and every other... So was hitler and nazi Germany... Pawns of the elite, the bankers who control everything. Goes all the way back to the roman empire.

The NWO has already been here, they just want to act like its some future possibility so people will stay divided and fight each other. Each calling the other NWO stooges, while they laugh at each side.

The new world order is in trouble. It's too retarded to bring about its goals. For instance, look at the Biden administration. It's a wreck. Also its 97 percent run by people who are married to or who are part of a particular religious sect. These people are so dumb due to inbred traits and hubris.

Metric is the measuring language of central planners.
English system is that of the common man, and entrepreneurs.

The day I go to a job site and here the contractors and handymen yapping it up in kilometers, I know we're done.

The english system is to keep people dumb and don't understand the link between things


The metric system is a great way to measure things and understand the links between distance, volume, weight etc...



nobody serious in tech using the english system

It's just another way to separate the elite and the mass

Not in most engineering it doesn't. feet and inches and lbs and ft*lbs and tons and psi and yd^3 and mph and stations in XX + XX feet are still what everyone uses.

In the eyes of the world, the image of the typical North American is of a very, very, very, very sub-intellectual person. No one expects anything from these people that he wouldn't expect from a typical bully we see in his movies.

By the way, we love your movies, music, and a lot of other things, we just hate stupidity and violence.

Sorry to be so sincere, it's just a fact.

Re: If the U.S really wants a NWO, it'd be using the Metric System by now
Here's a primer on imperial length units, for those who wonder what the problem is:

1 league (obsolete) =
3 miles =
24 furlongs =
240 chains =
960 rods =
5280 yards =
15840 feet =
24000 links =
47520 hands =
190080 inches =
570240 barleycorn =
13685760 points =
190080000 mil =
273715200 twips

Note 1: Not all of these units are used for all things. Twips and points are only used in typography, barleycorn is only used to measure shoe sizes, and hands are only used to measure the height of horses!

Note 2: The above units are only valid on land. A different set of units apply at sea.

And that was just the length units! Units for other quantities are equally arcane and convoluted. In other words, the imperial system is a complete fucking mess.
