UK already considers you a racist because you refuse to slander the Donald.

I consider UK a racist for not recognizing my white privilege

UK is going to explode when he sees that post!

I thought I lost this argument already - disliking brown people and it not being racist IS white privilege?

I also thought “the brown wizard” was from the hobbit ?

Speaking of name calling what’s with all the name changes around here lately doily Hargreaves = blob ? Is there like a conversion table or something ?

Map of countries still not using the metric system.

Map of countries Britain has invaded

The metric system was shoved down my throat by an idiot. I don't use it. Fahrenheit is so much more accurate.
Miles per Hour is for real Men.
We still build shit with two by fours as well

Well... the medieval non-metric system is still used by three countries; Myanmar (Burma), Liberia and the USA.

But if you are talking Fahrenheit, that's down to just one....

Seriously, water freezes at 0 and boils at 100.
That's logical. Easy to understand.

No wonder Anders Celsius's scale has taken over the world.



Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently Bahamas and Liberia also use Fahrenheit.
Damn, Liberia really must be a backward country!

Also, having driven in the Finnish countryside, I have noticed that whereas I interpreted the speed signs to indicate maximum speed in km/h, most locals seem to interpret them as minimum speed in mph...

No wonder they produce so many rally world champions, for them that's just like driving to or from work.

Maybe time to go prehistoric again and switch from the eagle to the pterodactyl.

That's right. That's why it's used. Easy
Fahrenheit has so many more levels. Personally; I find that not only useful but convenient.

Are the countries in white, those it has not invaded. Belize (British Honduras) and Guatemala still have an unsettled border dating back to colonial times in both countries. The case appears to be headed to the ICJ for settlement.

Yup. Although their definition of invaded is rather generous. Many of those, eg Finland, I would say were attacked rather than invaded, but still. Sweden is one of very few countries that has not experienced aggression from British soldiers on our soil.

Surprising, considering your army's shit and your birds are fit
