    Almost everything in the US is done according to the metric system with regards to government, business, construction and manufacturing. It's only the stupidness of the population that is preventing America from becoming modern. The government is fine it's the people.
    Suck it Min. You're just pissed that our continued use of the "old ways" makes us closer to your masturbatory fantasies of the beloved Monarchy...

    1. Suck a goat.
    2. If by government you mean pretty much just the military, then yes. All street signs, contracts, surveying for counties, states etc, are in United States Cutomary Units.
    3. Metric system was invented in the 1500's. That is not modern.

    Fact

    Nations who have "Driving on the Left" have fewer road fatalities and are considered to be a lot safer to drive in.

    Yeah, I don't think so. CH-53K certainly qualifies as a government system and it's not metric.

    If you retards can't figure out a turn signal that is a different color, although very similar, then that's an issue you need to deal with on your own. And the metric system was designed for simple people to understand.

    This^^^^^ Red / Amber / Yellow whatever color has never confused me that it is a turn signal. It is when jackasses that don't use turn signals is what you should get mad at.
