Sorry, but I can't tell. With the internet, you can't tell if someone is joking. But America should go metric. It would save millions of dollars in the long term.

@TheUnderdog

Lol yeah it's just a joke

@Sum1hugme

"I mean, which country walked on the moon?"

There is a lurking variable. The country that didn't use the metric system also had a very strong economy which allowed them to walk on the moon. If America was metric, we would have still landed on the moon. America should go metric. It's why the temperatures on my phone are all in Celsius.

I mean, which country walked on the moon?

No prob!

@PressF4Respect

I kinda see what you mean.

I'll keep that in mind for next time.

Thanks!

#11 is also something to always watch out for

-->
@Trent0405

In that case, the entire premise is opinionated.

-->
@PressF4Respect

In the description the definition was listed. Better was deemed to mean more convenient. Wasn't trying to steer the argument, just abide by the description.

-->
@DynamicSquid

Make sure to define all your terms from now on. Your opponent used the lack of definition for "better" as a way to steer the argument. Just something to take note of.

@MisterChris

I see what you're saying...

-->
@Trent0405

I see your goal here, but all of your points just identify flaws inherent in the imperial system. It sort of proves Pros case for him if that makes sense.

-->
@MisterChris

How so? In the description better was defined as convenient.

-->
@Trent0405

Unfortunately I think you misunderstood the position you were debating.

@MisterChris
@AvoidDeath

Yup I do. I wasn't really thinking when I said that, but hopefully that won't be my downfall xD

-->
@DynamicSquid

You got a pretty fatass burden of proof

-->
@DynamicSquid

In EVERY way?

Whats so hard about random chaos? 'Merica!
