        Wouldn’t you rather they spend more time doing fractions instead of invading more countries?

          I feel like there’s enough room for both the metric system and not invading countries in this big ol’ world.

            You’ll regret this as soon as I figure out how many pounds of fuel I gotta put into this missile so it’ll cover the number of miles needed to get to you… accounting for the knots of wind speed… at the altitude in feet the missile will be flying at…

            Well you know what, let’s just agree to disagree.
