That's because it's a fucking random gay system, only retards would prefer some fucking yards and miles and pounds and whatnot over the beautiful and consistent SI system.
How are miles per hour easier to understand than kilometers per hour? o.O I honestly don't get it, is it because the amount of miles is always lower and smaller numbers are more fun? You'll probably have to be retarded if you don't understand (grasp?) what 100 kilometers per hour means. If you can't visualize it, you can just turn it to 100/3.6 meters per second. Then, in your mind, picture some nigger running 27 meters in one second. There you have 100km/h.
Now even if there's no practical difference in using mph compared to kmph, with the American system we get into problems as soon as we try to think about something else than exactly velocity. How many feet is one mile? Not hard to answer, but way more awkward than meters/kilometers. How many cubic feet are there in a cubic mile? You'll need a calculator.
As a whole system, the SI is just all-around easier. I'd like to see 1 Joule = (kgm^2)/s^2 presented with feet (or fractions of a mile?) instead of meters & pounds instead of kg... It would have all kinds of ugly multipliers and shit.
I don't give a shit what Finland uses, if we used some random system I'd be against that. Luckily we don't. Finns talk about "calories" as the unit of energy in food, and I don't approve of that because it's fucking retarded.
this is crossfire, not an english/science exam, therefore i couldn't give a shit what or why you think something is that much better, especially since its a pretty useless argument. Not that i'm putting your opinion down or anything, i just don't care that much :)
i do believe you started it? I wasn't searching for a petty argument over which measurement of distance is better, i was clearly replying to your pathetic response. And no, this isn't the classic case of "I was wrong, so I'll just say I didn't care in the first place"

the driver is fag
like mihkel or something
e: 0-100 km/u: 2,5 seconden
e: and dont start to whine about 5 countries who do now ._.
that was intelligent! respect!

I don't give a shit what
Short version:
"How are mph easier? Explain.
Meters are easier to covert to kilometers than feet to miles.
The SI system is better for purposes other than velocity.
It doesn't matter to me what Finland uses."
This looks like a classic case of "I was wrong, so I'll just say I didn't care in the first place"
