Like my other post except this one is based on weather or not you prefer the metric or imperial units of measure.

like the other post..
Going 100 MPH feels waay better than going 100 KPH.

That's because 100MPH is a higher velocity..... technically.
Now if you were going about 100 MPH and 160 KPH... you wouldn't feel too much difference :)

metric is easier, you can convert almost anything with the number ten.
Even England gave up the Imperial system!

In the USA, we use the imperial measurement. Why, you ask? because we're lazy as hell and don't like Europeans (and Canadians, Japanese, Brazilians, Ugandans, Egyptians, Russians, Romanians, Greeks, Australians, Malaysians, Chinese, Indians, Uzbeks, Kazahks, Morrocoans, and everyone else in that small area called 'Earth') telling us how to measure.

Of course I'm for it. Makes everything damned easier.
Lets see, here, converting a gallon to square footage requires a graphing calculator and nerves of steel.

Everywere else.. well, you get the picture.

Well not all of us..., but yah we're lazy and sarcastic...
It's also easier to visualize things in the imperial system, for science you want to use metric, but like with household stuff and aaverage day use I prefer imperial.
