WTF? Is this guy a troll? Anything to have 3 minutes of fame on television?

Imperial system: Great for when we had to count on our fingers and toes in the public market when buying your fish and bread.

Ya! for the dozenal system. Still used for clocks and for circles.

Metric system: Great for when we want consistent standards and measurements and don't really need to worry about being an illiterate peasant trying to buy fish and bread in the market.

What a retard.

OMG this is the greatest thing ever. Never has Tucker's poker face been put to better use.

FWIW I live in a metric country and am completely conformable with those units. But I still use Imperial measurement when building something. A few times I switched to metric "because it's better" but it never lasted because I found myself fighting with the measurements, which never happens with Imperial. I actually heard some guy explain why Imperial is better for the building trades and it made perfect sense, but bugger me if I can recall the reasoning.

It's simple as the fact customary units are easier to work with and it makes sense when you understand that it came about from long use by people in Europe. There are many systems that came about in the USA in industry that Europeans despise but work well such as number and letter sized drills and screw sizes.

Here's the biggest reason to say "fuck metric": The metric system was devised by academics to suit a radical socialist remaking of France and has been championed by the Satanic New World Order kikes to make it easier for them to make shekels off people no matter what country they are in.

FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO USE YOUR ANCESTORS UNITS AND GODS! HAIL ODIN!

No - the metric was developed to create a system with a base of ten, which makes all computations easier.

Metric is CLEARLY best, the science is settled.

Yet in fact it actually makes computations harder which is why dozenal was used throughout the common systems of units across Europe.
