What is the connection between someone being pro-EU and pro-metric? Can't
someone be one or the other and possible both? But being one does not imply
the other? I still don't understand why the pro-imperial side doesn't
acknowledge metric is a world thing and not just something only Europeans
use.
I shouted at you? I'm not shouting, what makes you think that? But, I'm
glad you changed your mind. You'll be much happier in the long term. Will
you be spreading your new found love for metric around and hopefully convert
others?

For those who don't know - the "call sign" that the strongly pro-EU people
use is "We're all European now". Most who are involved or interested in
UK/EU politics are aware of that saying.
By the way, Daniel, now that you've shouted at me I've totally changed my
mind and believe everyone should be told to use and speak in metric.
Who says "dictating does not work" eh?

- Those who campaign for the abolition of imperial, as in
"anti-imperial", and propogate the idea that "we're all european now" and
cite that EU laws should be used to force this (basically the
arch-nemesis of those identified 3 points ago).
Why does it have to be "we're all European now", instead of "we're all one
world now"? Is it the anti-imperials who claim the European link or is it
the anti-metrics who say the anti-imperials are in league with Europe?
Why doesn't your side acknowledge that it just isn't Europe that is
metric? The whole world is metric yet your side doesn't accept that, why?
Rip comes from a metric country that is nowhere near Europe. How is his
situation explained by the "anti-metric it is only an EU plot" propaganda?
Repeat it to yourself until it sinks in: THE WHOLE WORLD IS METRIC!
