It's biased.
Telling someone to kill theirselves should not be tolerated, whatever is going on between you. You should be temporarily banned.
And the germans should start using the kg system.
176 pounds/79 kg would be my guess.

1) Most Americans see no reason or advantage, in adopting the metric system.
2) They are comfortable, using US Customary measures (USC).
3) That is what they learned as children, and used as adults, and continue to do so.
4) Because USC has been learnt from a young age, its difficult to, "unlearn it", and learn the metric system. Conversion from metric back to USC, cause errors and rounding, which can be to course, or to accurate.
5) Its difficult to use metric, when everyone around you is using USC.
6) There is perception that the US, is world leader, and others should follow its standards.
7) There is a perception that metric is foreign, and therefore inferior and evil.
There is a perception that converting to metric, would be very costly, and offer minimal advantages compared with USC. 9) There is no political will, direction, or plan to adopt the metric system.
What has to happen to get it changed to the metric system?
1) There has to be realization that to continue to use USC leads to measurement isolation from the global community.
2) There has to be a realization that to continue to use USC inhibits the advancement of the US worldwide.
3) There has to be program, to educate both children, and adults to understand and use metric measures. Metric measure will have to become, the primary system of measurement in the schools, and adults taught metric through the media.
4) There has to be political will, direction, and a plan, both at State and Federal levels, that should been seen by all sectors, the people, the public sector, the private sector, and government, as the right direction, to take, and free from government, and political interference.
5) There has to be a realization that the process of metrication is not democratic and therefore it has to be forced on people with very little freedom of choice.
6) The people must clearly see the advantages and benefits of the metric system and why the change needs to occur.
I hope this answers your question.

First of all if are going to educate us on the metric system, at least be accurate.Rand al'Thor wrote:Thanks, it was a most pressing question.AlPal wrote:Rand al'Thor wrote:It's America's fault they're one of the three countries left (alongside Burma and Liberia...) to still stupidly use the imperial units, no need to pander to them.Andy wrote:Nr wrote:Alex wrote:Both of you need to kill yourselves.Moe wrote:CM wrote:Alex wrote:Firefury quit and i've been doing this for awhileKᴀʀɴ wrote:Idk, but you're copying Firefury 0.0Alex wrote:92.5942 pounds?Kᴀʀɴ wrote:42 kg

I hope this answers your question.
The us has adopted the metric system for over 145 years. It is not mandatory, but a law was passed saying if you wanted to, a contract using the metric system is legal.
They also signed the treaty of the metre in 1878 which helped establish the metric system.
The USC system is also defined by the metric system.
So in a way we are just a weird version of the metric system.
Congress enacted the metric conversion act, but they also did not make it mandatory.
I feel like you just made up a few of your reasons
American companies were disadvantaged or at least challenged when trading globally. For example, say a packaging company in Ohio sells their product in say Florida, but they also trade with Denmark. You would need to have two different kinds of packaging which is expensive and stupid and makes you less competitive globally.
The preferred system of trade and commerce stated that federal agencies need to use the metric system for grants, business, etc. That established it as a standard in federal agencies, but not public. It was up to you if you were a private sector.
Pharmaceutical industry went hard metric.
Tools are metric.
Also, look at your soda bottle next time. There are MLs. Your bullets are likely to be in millimeters. If you open your eyes a little more, the US is not completely blind the metric system.
