Ah ... my fellow Americans making asses of us all. Sorry world, we're not all like these people. But these people seem to speak the loudest ... obnoxiously so.

American measurement = best measurement because american = best. If you disagree, you are a terrorist/communist.

When you have teachers just “teach to the test”—-which generally leads to “test it and forget it” for students—-so the school can get more funding, instead of help kids actually learn, this is what you get. Schools shouldn’t have to sacrifice true education just to be able to afford textbooks or some computers. The lack of adequate and consistent funding for public education is the crux of the issue.

so many american think they are the center of the world!

You can count the number of countries still using imperial on the fingers of one hand!

Everybody knows the internet is American.

huh... so internet IS american now, none the less! as you can search on google (like I did) Internet was co-invented by Robert Cailliau (belgian) and Tim Berners-Lee (english) and howewer internet is of nobody, my big mouth dude...

The world wide web is not the internet. The WWW was indeed invented in Europe, but the first internet, ARPAnet, was actually invented by the US government

Depending on your own definition of telecom, the internet was begun in the states, in England and in France. And the worst part is that because it comes from so many beginnings there's no... definite, absolute start of it. More than one person conceived an idea with communicating from point a to point b via radio and wire. Who do you want to credit? The first satellite transmission? The first phone call? The first radio transmission? How about morse code? I assume the American above was referring to ARPNET.... but there was also MILNET.... so whatever.

Actually the internet was developed by arpanet...later darpa. Venton Cerf developed tcp\ip protocol and is considered to be the father of the internet and is an American.

I thought the Americans use Imperial (British) units . . .

...on top of that imperial system is most idiotic, imbecilic, useless bullshit people ever came up with.

Wth the internet is American now? I'm assuming Earth is as well?

He is obviously of a far superior race, just one that somehow managed to stay ignorant of everything outside of his W.C.

Great answer!!!

This does annoy me... there are so many times that stuff published online assumes that the readership is American. It's like America thinks it's the only country in the world and yet to the rest of the world America is just

Burn!

There are 2 types of countries. 1 type uses the metric system. The other goes to the moon.

OOOOOH damn!

Hmm...it makes sense if you think the USA is the center of the universe.

actually the internet WAS invented in America by 2 scientists in UCLA and Stanford....the World wide web was invented in CERN about 20yrs later ;-)

Do you mean to say there are countries other than America?

'Murica!

Wasn't it started with ARPANET?

Ouch. Burnt?

hehe

Just goes to show there is stupidity everywhere, Yeah America is a s**t show which is why everyone wants to come here right?

BAHAHAHA GET ROASTED

Burn

the internet is American? i thought the internet was- y'know- not American? (sarcasm)

I’m not shocked just sad... because it explains so many things. Like why people are allowed to own assault rifles. MPH that’s why.

... imperial units suck. The metric system is superior in every regard. I did my research and came to the conclusion that, all in all an generally, the imperial system of units may provide between 3/64 and 97/128 of the performance of the metric system, which simply and always delivers 1.0 of its own performance.
