Is it time for the US to adopt the metric system?
Sure, why not. We should've done it years ago already.
there ought to be an option for non-americans to say; "yes, if that is what the US wants".
No, merely because Im stubborn and refuse to give the Frenchman a sense of satisfaction. On a side note I know both as do most Americans so in all reality we are already ahead of the curve.
You know they use the Metric System to measure wealth distribution, Strike.....
Yes it is time for the United States to adopt the metric system.
It will occur the same time we start calling "soccer" whatever you Euros call it.

If you were to do that, we'd have to call Football "Rugby's bastard child"!Yes it is time for the United States to adopt the metric system.

Yes, its about time we stop with all those redicilous cups, ounces and all the other useless measurements the english came up with way back when. Woot for the simplicity of base ten conversions!
It doesn't really matter if the U.S. changes or not. The scientific community and the military is already using metric so that they can play properly with the rest of the world. The rest of it doesn't really matter.

Yes indeed! I want my pipe tobacco in proper 50 g. packs instead of the stupid 1.5 oz. which is 42.x g.

What's oz anyway? I heard of some wizard of oz but never seen that movie. Something to do with Oztralia or so? 
I think Fahrenheit (Is it spelled this way?) measurement has to do blood temperature.
Humans are generally at 37º Celcius, while on Far Night mode, they are at 100º

Actually, the core temp of a human should be around 36.8C or 98.2F, so there are no round numbers in either system.
