This video is either a parody or a nonsensical paranoid rant. There is no evidence that Barack Obama wants to introduce the metric system to the United States.
The metric system is used universally in science and medicine. Almost every country in the world uses the metric system, including Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Fearing the metric system makes about as much sense as fearing the bogey man.
If you sell your car for less because it's done 100,000 km and you've confused it with 100,000 miles then you deserve to make less cash from the sale. Who would be dumb enough that they don't realise the difference in value that arises from the difference in measuring systems? Only an idiot, and realising that they are capable of such an error they might make a video to warn other idiots of that problem.
This comment is EXACTLY what makes you a LIBERAL DEMOCRAT. Your stupidy shines. If you want to understand the meaning here, you need to first THINK. I know that is hard for you. Let me make this simple for you. Do you realize that when your car now reaches 100,000 miles it goes over the cliff in depreciation. Ask any dealership. Well 100,000 km which is the over the cliff number for car value. well it just so happens that 100,000 km is only 60,000 miles. Do you understand now?
@hexagonmoose - You are the IDIOT. You are typical Liberal and run on emotion and not common sense. Take a good look at yourself then check in at the nearest mental institution you moron.
@hexagonmoose - That's simple math which makes you a SIMPLTON. I know I know you went to kindergarten but the one thing that the Lib Teacher forgot to teach you was COMMON SENSE. Now go back to your office and finish off that paperwork that you concentrate on every day (toilet).
Your choice of language explains WHY nobody pays any attention to idiots like you...why are you so angry? Must be a liberal, REGRESSIVE...no other explanation....let's see how all of Obamas free spending policies, along with this nonsense effects you when you are being taxed at 60% of your income to pay for this...do you realize what all will have to change to do this and the cost involved???? apparently not...just go your illiterate cursing way, moran!!!
stupid video, this won't happen anyway but even if it does it's just a scare tactic. republicans always use that. first he's muslim then he's not us citizen, then his healthcare is like hitlers plan.. lol Glenn beck even said on fox Obama is racist..lol um he's half white wacko. conservative racist Christians are serious wack jobs!!
noi not a stupid Video ! It's a Logical video that makes perfect sense. But then again Liberals like you cannot rationalize and think, just dreamers. Go back to sleep. This Racist Marxist President is a real loser.
Ok so hes racist glenn beck? lol you realize he is half white and was raised by whites his entire life and his mom was white and his grandparents who raised him were white? Why is it that less educated states like the south and midwest vote republican while more educated states like NY, NJ, CA all vote democrat? And you say hes a looser, whats your salary compared to him? Did you graduate from harvard? Are you the most powerful man in the entire world? Didnt think so
We need to "go metric." Metric is already the law here in the United States. Every package must be measured in both metric and US. Metric is the word's language of measurement, just as English is the world's language for communication. Switching to metric is a one-time cost equivalent to about three days of our fighting in Iraq. Not using metric fully puts our companies in a less competitive advantage and costs us well over a trillion dollars each year.
Listen genious, it won't make you any more competitive! It will hinder you like it does to other socialist countries. You need to be American first not a communist.
Way to go for equating the metric system with the hammer and sickle, moron.
We use the metric system in Australia and it shits me to no end that you guys still insist on using imperial measurements. Every time i watch an American TV show and hear "pound" this, "mile" that (and i'm competely lost with Fahrenheit) I cringe at how backward you guys still are in this respect.
It will save you tonnes of money in the long term. Just like DTV, do it and get it over with, for your own sake.
IPlease explain in very defined terms why we should go metric. No one remembers the plane that went down in Canada when they frist went metric BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE..,,,,I missed that flight by minutes..,,the change from gallons to liters is THAT difficult. In Canada today, they are paying 90 Cents a liter for gas.,,,that translates to $4.00 a gallon or better. That's all I need to know.,
You Liberals are as dumb as a sack of hammers. You can't reason and you can't think. You cannot even debate properly because you are so F... stupid. I have a job with a 7 figure salary, but I suspect you may be working for the government for your lowly pitance..
No, it is NOT ridiculous. If you calculate the cost of conversion, it would be in the trillions by the time everything from highway signs to school books to autos to anything you could name including your favorite bag of crackers...way too expensive, just so we " can keep up with the germans, french, or whomever.
The whole world uses the metric system, except for the US and the UK for their road signs (which was a big dissapointment for me when i visited the UK about a year ago) and two other unknown countries.
There'd be a big upfront cost, but the long term savings would far outweigh it.
Perhaps there are more important things, but the real cost of conversion hasn't even been calcuated. This was tried in the late 70's and the DOLLAR COST was so high, the feds finally gave up on it. The cost of everything from highway signs to retooling of plants that produce everything from paper products to automobiles will increase significantly. NOT a good idea.
I agree with you the cost at this time would significantly put a big cost factor on a government that already has more important things on their agenda. I am with you on this one.
I remember this. I remember when gasoline was sold by the liter because the price of gasoline was higher than $1/gallon for the first time, and the dials cannot deal with this. It caused great confusion. McDonald's responded with "McMetric" rulers, which were soon forgotten. I was 8 years old then, and eager to learn the metric system.
Of all the stupid, irrational statements, this is the worst!! Sheep!!!~ Lemmings!!!!~ follow your leader right off the cliff...just because the rest of the world is doing it doesn't MAKE IT THE BEST!!! You have no idea what the transition would cost in REAL DOLLARS!!!!! More Obama clones...will this insanity never end? Please, people...THINK, THINK, THINK
@janejessee It's inevitable you fucking retard. THE WHOLE WORLD USES THE METRIC SYSTEM, ALL SCIENCE IS DONE IN THE METRIC SYSTEM. The whole world has realized the advantages of using a system all based on multiplying and dividing by 10. Thanks to backwards retards like you the USA still hasn't switched. It's YOU, LIBERIA AND BURMA. That speaks for itself.
Seriously, you're just doing this as troll bait aren't ya?
I'm Australian you moron - we converted to the metric system in the early '70s. It didn't fill the pockets of government back then and it still doesn't today.
In fact, if your government didn't dictate the units of measurement, you might well have gone metric a long time ago - it would be more efficient since the rest of the world converted to metric a long time ago. So i'm guessing that you are the loser govt worker.
Ironically, I wish this is not a parody, but a reality......I HATE arswhooping imperial system.

You're almost right - just because the rest of the world is doing it doesn't _neccesaraly_ make it the best.
But it just so happens that the metric system is the best system of measurement.
Defending a backward, outdated system of measurement makes you sound like you're defending religion.
