You just said the same word twice, except the latter wasn't capitalized, and plural. You should elaborate, if you wish us to understand.

[jorthon]

if you live in the US then you would understand

[thewizardguy]

....... well that was cryptic. Are all the Americans hiding some massive union-related conspiracy?

[jorthon]

no people abuse unions to get things they want but don't need

Then why don't I understand?

Good question.

you don't understand because you weren't taught right or forgot what you were taught

Are you referencing to the Civil War? Are you a ghost of a early industrial age factory owner? Perhaps you've had a really bad encounter with a workers' union protesting and making your life difficult? I really don't understand what you're talking about.

[jorthon]

its because if a union hates something they go on strike

[Sapphire]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Yeah that like never happens where I live.

[jorthon]

its mainly in california but there have been a few where I live all the people who went on strike were fired then quickly replaced so the strike didn't last too long

[thewizardguy]

You know, unions in America may be crappy, but here in the Netherlands they do a lot of good.

[thewizardguy]

BTW, I'm giving Kami a nerf. In his human form, he can now be hit by physical force. Just to make him a little bit less godlike.

[Sapphire]

The difference between America and the Netherlands is that Americans are pretty self centered, we are pretty bad at making choices based on the true common good but we are fun at parties and we are the theme of some parties. I lived with an relative in Germany for a while and there were a couple of American parties that I was invited to. The Netherlands is a cool place, like the rest of Europe. I'm not totally sure what it is but it seems like most of the world has something that America lacks. Maybe we hate our government too much?

[jorthon]

or our govt screwed us over too much

I don't mean to insult anyone, but I think that it's not something you LACK, per se. I think it's something you have too much of. Pride. The Americans refuse to conform to the rest of the world. This can be seen in your measuring systems from distance to temperature. Also, your culture is more open to the individual hero, as well as the use of violence, which can be seen in your media, as well as your crime rates.

That is probably one of the most true things I've heard about America in a while.

I agree wholeheartedly that statement is so true however there has been talk of changing our measuring system to the metric. Because of that it is now required that we learn it

[Sapphire]

While that sounds awesome I'm really only interested in getting rid of fractions, I can't count the number of arguments I've had with various people who wanted me to use them. It's not that I don't know how it's just that I choose not to. I would much rather have to use centimeters and ect. rather than inches because the customary (or whatever it's called) is really stupid, I don't like that there are twelve inches in a foot or three feet in a yard there is just no consistency but that's not nearly as bad as quarts, pints, and the like.

Isn't pints just for bear? And yeah, the decimal system is more logical, and easy on calculation.
