    Standard Lynnwod Liar. Start of with some complete bullshit and hope no one notices. When they do start slowly walking it back step by step. Now net time you will know which lie to lead off with.

    What, that's funny? You're not a lying ass? I got it from the forums, honest mistake...

    clearly flase.
    Even if you were telling the truth, it would just show all the other reporters commonly (always?) 'dumb things down for Americans' too. Exactly like I've been telling you all along. The cognitive dissonance must be very strong with you, is your ego really so weak that you can't admit the truth, even to yourself?

    What's you alternative theory for the changes if it's not exactlly like I told you? Does your denial stretch far enough to come up with another explanation?

    And then never replying when people ask for evidence or links.

    Ok little boy, Since you are having such trouble understanding, hold my hand while I walk you through it step by step.

    Scientists measure the amount of water. They do this in metric in Pakistan because metric is the system they use over there. (and 95% of the world)

    Then the reporter writes a story. She doesn't go out with her gallon jug and measure the water by herself, she looks it up / asks the scientists, they tell her metric.

    When she writes her story, she decides to convert it to gallons because part of her target audience is America and Americans.
    This is known as pandering to the lowest common denominator. (I used 'dumbed down' before, because it's fun to push the buttons of easily agitated people and I knew you would bite).
    This was obvious the second you jumped in and said

    No, the superiors only understand litres, and metricand once you don't use those, you are incapable of using antything else, and must resort to moaning and crying.

    This is the part where you need to stand on your own feet.
    If you have a problem with the reporter assuming the rest of America isn't quite as smart as you claim to be, you can contact her here.

    Sabrina Toppa is a Pakistan-based journalist who has reported for The Guardian, Al Jazeera, TIME, Washington Post, and NBC News, among other outlets. Find her on Twitter @SabrinaToppa

    You might want to grab a coffee or something first, because there are more than just a few journalists who also 'simplify' things like that for your fellow Americans, it may take you a while.
    Tell them all that Americans are just as smart as everyone else, and you don't like them dumbing things down, it makes you feel inferior and hurts your feelings.
    Just search Google for "America" and "news",let them all know how you feel. That should keep you busy for a good while and out of the grownups hair.

    So you think only China makes cheap electronics / disposable crap you buy? And you think a tax aimed at just China won't have Americans just buy their cheap junk from the next country on the list? You're even less bright than before.

    Explain why it was dumbed down for Americans.
    If you think it is so ridiculously easy to be proficient in both systems, why change it for them?

    Where did I say metric wasn't arbitrary? I said it was used in 95% of the world, and that means it's much more common. You do understand percentages right? You don't need them dumbed down too do you?

  11. Re: Pakistan == Mud People on Coastal Megacity Karachi Is Running Out of Water (earther.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting, but totally irrelevant. I really couldn't give 2 shits what measurement system you use, or 5/8ths of a shit, or however you measure them. I'm sure you have your reasons.
    The point is it was originally in metric, but dumbed down for Americans to understand. If they are as wise and all knowing as you claim, why the need to change it for them?

    For said Americans to then complain about people wanting it converted back again into sensible measurement is just too funny. Maybe Americans just don't get irony either.

    According to The Independent, Robinson was already on a suspended sentence for contempt of court over a gang rape case in 2017. The judge in the case on Friday slapped a reporting ban on the case. The order bans reporters from reporting on a case if there is reason to believe the reporting could prejudice a trial. The order prevents reporting until the conclusion of the trial Robinson was reporting on.

    He's obviously done this kind of thing before.

    The thing is 95% of the world use something better. They already know what big numbers are in that system. They have to convert it from your silly system to understand and compare it to what they already know.

    It's not like the scientists/engineers who did the calculations used your silly system anyway. It was already converted for you to understand, because you little snowflakes just have to be different. Just use the original measurements. If whiny little Americans only understand gallons or whatnot, let them convert it.

  16. I'd also like to know where you got that information from Windy. Did they have other countries as well so we can compare?
    Or did it just come straight from your arse.

  17. It's Windy, what do you expect. He always just pulls numbers out of his ass and treats them like facts.

  18. America uses 25x the cooling as India. Are Americans 25x hotter? 25x weaker? or 25x Richer?

  19. And if she was living in a poor country, she would have to just put up with it. But she isn't she is in a wealthy country so she can just use AC as much as she likes. Why shouldn't other people be able to do the same?
    Why do Americans get to use more of the cooling than the bottom 60% of the world combined? Is it the temperature, or the money?

    Not lifestyle being extended as such, that extra few months at the end when you're 80 isn't going to produce many more kids.
