No. You're the only one behaving as immaturely as you are. I can disagree with the others, but they're at least coming across as grownups.
If you'd like to debate whether Spongebob or Patrick is the funnier character, I'll let you hash it out with my son. I'll debate the grownup topics with the folks who can come up with a better argument than "its easier and thats all that matters, get it now?".
thats all you can think of?
when i said why it was easier it was the most simple and obvious argument which every normal man (i say normal, regardless of the years, knowledge etc.) would accept right away, then i offered you another one a bit more complicated, i even put some numbers in it (mile-yards-feet-inch) you havent accepted that one either
when you have an debate with someone you need to try to speak to them in a way they could understand, i tried, i didnt succeed
you dont know how old i am, you dont know what i do and you dont know what i know, and you dont need to because the only thing that should matter to you is what i wrote in my posts
lets talk about kids then. believe me, from my own experiences, i tend to listen to kids to see what they have to say, because they are not corrupted with the world around them (yet), they can be very objective with simple things they can understand, so do your self a favor, ask your kid what does he think is easier, after you show him miles-yards-feets-inch, km-m-dm-cm comparison, he will tell you because you obviously cant comprehend such simple and straightforward things
the grownups? they had this debate (nations of the former british empire) to what conclusion did they get? to what conclusion did the most and i mean large, pretty large majority get?
the only reason i talk to you is because this debate i wouldnt have with a 4 year old baby because he would see it right away, so i was curious where this will lead to
and frankly i dont give a **** what your 'real world' is, everybody has their own 'real world' and the things they use or not, but that shouldnt be important at all, because i wasnt asking you for your opinion, i dont give a **** about it, i was asking you to be objective which you obviously cant or you have been too corrupted by the world around you, the way you were brought up, your education, your job that you cant see the simplest things any more such as the difference between 10 and 12, 10 and 3, 10 and 22 and so on
just try to be more objective
and yes, the argument that something is easier hence better, and in a lot of thing thats all that matters, is pretty good actually, lack of imagination or just plain stupidity?
dont complicate things unnecessary, you should be doing the exact opposite, but thats the known trait of you so called 'grownups'
