It’s time to take Biblical Measures
Friends,
When George W. Bush next updates his list of nations that have officially joined the Axis of Evil, he may take great pleasure in removing both Iraq and Afghanistan, but I just imagine his dismay as he is forced to add one of our oldest enemies France in it’s place. France is the home of woolly-minded liberal thinking, disgusting wine and may be the first country in Europe to become an islamofascist dictatorship, but that’s not what I’m going to talk about today.
In my recent trip to Europe I discovered one of the oddest things about the French: Their love for the ?metric system?. For those of you unfamiliar with this abomination, the metric system replaces the standard weights and measures ordained by God and familiar to us all with a set of meaningless and obscure units which are of no help to anybody.
American measurements are often called the ?King’s measurement?. That is because it is named in honor of the King of Kings. It’s a name with grace, style, beauty and mystery as opposed to “the metric system” which is cold, clinic and communist.
The metric system is not only incomprehensible but truly offensive to Jesus Christ who measures things in pounds, ounces, gallons and cubits. Guess where the metric system was invented? The country that hates Jesus the most, France - European home of Islamic Terrorism. The metric system was invented by the French Emperor Napoleon as a means of undermining the moral values of his citizens:
At the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said “Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain” - he didnt ask us to walk an additional 1.62 kilometers! In Genesis 6:15, god says ?This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.?. (NIV)
Nowhere in the bible does anybody mention a single ?SI? or ?Systeme Internationale? unit found in the French-metric system… not once! So why have the Europeans turned away from Jesus?
Amazingly there are some Americans who wish to go-French, that is to abandon God’s measurements and start using the godless French system. Chief among these bullies are the US Metric Association. Shelley The Republican will never allow them to destroy our traditions.
Since metric units are smaller than their nearest American unit, computers and people have to work much harder to process them (because the numbers are generally longer). For example, in America you might order a McDonalds 1/4 pounder burger, this is universally accepted as the standard size of a meat patty. However in Europe the equivalent product has to be called 112.5g Burger. It’s bad enough living under the curse of communism, but imagine the confusion where it takes half an hour to calculate the name of an everyday object!
Fact - The Metric System is a French Conspiracy: The metric system originated in the ideology of “Pure Reason” that was a feature of the more radical element of the French Revolution. The metric system was devised in France as part of a proposal that attempted to make France “revenue-rich, militarily potent, and easily administered.” It was intended as part of a consicous plan to transform French culture. “As mathematics was the language of science, so would the metric system be the language of commerce and industry,” meant to unify and transform French society.
A friend of mine in the Promise Keepers told me that the challenger disaster was caused because shoddy foreign-made parts had been designed by engineers who worked exclusively in French-style metric units. The NASA engineers sensibly worked only in standard American units, but guess what happened when they tried to combine the parts? We can blame the death on that crew of patriots on a foreign conspiracy: The metric system
The Quarter-Pounder, the standard by which all other burgers are measured. This is traditional American food at it’s best. But why do the French oppose this tasty nutritious treat? Simply because a “Pound” is not a French-style metric measurement. Will the French ever fight for their liberty to eat great food? I doubt it.
And how do the Europeans propose to sell their precious metric system? The answer is that they expect every single American household to buy one of these:
A standard metric kilogram, it’s the only way to know exactly what a kilo is. You can bet that pro-metric Democratic senators will not rest until every hard-working American family is forced to buy one of these.
Yours in Christ,
Tristan J. Shuddery

fantastic! i’m a geoscientist in training and education, so i’ve worked with both metric and imperial units of measurement. for the record, it really is easier to use metric because it’s base 10 whereas the imperial/kings units have no consistency:
for example…
http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/custom.html
also, the bible was originally written in aramaic (i think) and definitely not english, and far prior to the development of kings units of measurement. the english translation in the king james bible just inserts the rough foot equivalent of the measurements of the day. empirical/kings units were actually developed by a british king…hence the name.
and lol…
Tristan, once again you prove yourself the fool to end all foolishness…

I don’t belive a list like this exsists… good to see you are starting to like Afghan and Iraq though. And If france is your oldest enemy, wouldn’t it already be on the list?

Isn’t wine what Jesus drank?
And did you know that in France, your not allowed to wear any towels round your head, sheets over your face or any of those muslim and arabic things?
Also they invented the condom.
And french wine is some of the best in the world, but I prefer Australian or New Zealand wine, not only is it cheaper, but it tastes damned good too.
It’s better than most american wines, that for sure…

HAHAHAHAHAHA, well as hebrews are the people of god or something, their measurements must be right,
Also I personally find the Metric system much easier, England still uses the old system for money, USA uses metric system for money, so shame on you there…
and they’re not really all that meaningless, they work on a 10 factor instead of 12 factor.

Rofl, this is a very funny discription…
American way of doing things is old, depressing, hard to understand, messed up, ancient, and american, that last piece is the real killer.
You could always say that Wikipedia is communist becuase it’s a source of free stuff, i infact wouldn’t be surprised at all if you came up with an article about wikipedia being communist.

“The metric system is not only incomprehensible but truly offensive to Jesus Christ who measures things in pounds, ounces, gallons and cubits.”
He actualy would have measured things in Etzbah, Tefach, Zeret, Amma for length, Amma is sometimes translated as a Cubit. Just go to the above link, somewhere.

You relise how many time the bible has been translated? the original one was proberly in hebrew or something, so they’ve also converted the measurements for your viewing pleasure, and so you can udnerstand it better.

Of course they haven’t becuase it wasn’t invented back then, they were still using spans and shit like that.

um ok? i’m going to get my brother to time me how long it takes to put 661,942,421.6251km into mm.
661,942,421,625,100mm
it took about a split second to think of it, and about 2 seconds to type it out…
now I’m sure you can proberly do this in a split second 661,942,421.6251miles into inchs. right? Highly unlikely…
Also machines like calculators will just do as they’re programmed to do, like if u have a scientific calculator like my school one, you can do inchs to miles, and stuff like that and also do millimetres to kiliometres.

Um in new zealand we don’t use the Imperial System, we use metric system and it’s still called the quarter pounder. And look at french women compared to american women, and then look at their diets, notice the difference?
infact, heres a picture that explains it all!

Um dude, it’s not that hard to convert measurements… like they might need a part thats precisely 1.234cm long, so they’ll make one that long, they won’t round to nearest cm or anything u tard…
the reason the challenger snuffed it was because a piece of the outer layer came off and smashed a hole in the heat shielding, so it was caused by poor american engineers.
But lets not dishonor the memory of the people who died that day by bringing them into a stupid arguement like this aye?

meow till ur voice is gone, then punch a cat so it can meow for you!
yeah…
It take more computing cost your system than International system. Being 10 based, its very fast to make conversions, while in your case you have to make separate functions.
Oh, and it take the same time to process an integer, not caring how long it is. For a computer, its the same

Mr. Shuddery, ‘ur a great American, you know that? Dun listen ta deez communist librals, they are gonna burn in hell anyway. Dam these communist French and der metric systum, true gawd luvin’, Republican votin’ Americans measure with inches and feet, not keelos or whatever! God bless you Tristan!

Hi alls , I’m a french history student , actually the metric system was created by Napoleon to unite the measures in france both for weights an distances
Why ? simply because there was a different measure system nearly every 50 kilometers , so it was simpler for administration an trading , it was the same thing that this english king made.
But why are you so aggresive ? Since when are USA and France ennemies ? keep cool please ^^
Please spell “syst??ǬÆme international” correctly.
The metric system is not used only in France, but almost anywhere else in the world (except in UK, Ireland, and some other countries, obviously including USA).
And I don’t think a foot in the Bible is as long as an American foot.
But I won’t argue any longer, Tristan is definitely dumb and close-minded.
one of our oldest enemies France
One of your oldest enemies? WTF? They helped you to in independence (there were more french soldiers in Yorktown than colonials and the british officially surrenderred to the french!) and gifted you that wonderful statue in the New York Harbour. They were your Allies in both World Wars. They were members of the Nato in the Cold War. The only time they did not support you was this disastrous adventure in Iraq. And really, what is a real friend? One that will inevitable join you in anything even if he thinks it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s stupid or one who will tell you that it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s stupid and warn you not to do it. For me Number 2 is the correct answer, number 1 is a servant or a brown noser or a henchman, but not a friend.
Their love for the ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?metric system?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. For those of you unfamiliar with this abomination, the metric system replaces the standard weights and measures ordained by God and familiar to us all with a set of meaningless and obscure units which are of no help to anybody.
1. Everyone in Europe except the british use the metric system. EVERYONE!
2. They are a help when everybody is familiar with them. Like here in europe.
American measurements are often called the ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?King?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s measurement?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. That is because it is named in honor of the King of Kings. It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s a name with grace, style, beauty and mystery as opposed to ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?the metric system?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? which is cold, clinic and communist.
1. Rather becaus ethey were invented by the King of England. And then carried over the big lake by your pilgrims.
2. The metric system is far older than communism.
The metric system was invented by the French Emperor Napoleon as a means of undermining the moral values of his citizens
Rather to stop the chaotic situation in the Medieval Age when every region was using it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s own measurements. The reason was standardisation.
At the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? - he didnt ask us to walk an additional 1.62 kilometers! In Genesis 6:15, god says ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high.?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?. (NIV)
Well, in our bible, the measurements are metric. Although, ther eit are 2 kilometres instead of 1.62. Could it be that someone translated the measurements when he translated that book into english?
Since metric units are smaller than their nearest American unit, computers and people have to work much harder to process them (because the numbers are generally longer). For example, in America you might order a McDonalds 1/4 pounder burger, this is universally accepted as the standard size of a meat patty. However in Europe the equivalent product has to be called 112.5g Burger. It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s bad enough living under the curse of communism, but imagine the confusion where it takes half an hour to calculate the name of an everyday object!
We just order a smal, middle or big sized burger. Way easier. And you get used to the metric system really fast. Especially if you learn it from birth on. Oh, and we have no communistic governments in Europe.
Fact - The Metric System is a French Conspiracy: The metric system originated in the ideology of ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Pure Reason?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? that was a feature of the more radical element of the French Revolution. The metric system was devised in France as part of a proposal that attempted to make France ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?revenue-rich, militarily potent, and easily administered.?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?

Now where?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s the conspiracy here? As you said, it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s an internal political choice from which the whole nation will benefit.
There are no foreign parts on the space shuttle, the challenger disaster is your fault alone.
The Quarter-Pounder, the standard by which all other burgers are measured. This is traditional American food at it?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s best. But why do the French oppose this tasty nutritious treat?

They?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•ve got better food than that…
Now really, Tristan if you did no realise that the metric system is working on the factor 10 (and always the factor 10) then you should really consult an eye doctor.
@Atheist god: Amen, Especially the picture!
The German Guy
IMPEACH BUSH!
As a computer scientist, I can assure you that “metrics” and “king’s” system are roughly the same to a computer. Why? Because a computer knows nothing of them anyway, as he uses “binary” or “floating point”, which have nothing in common with the above systems so they must be converted anyway.
About the metric kilogram, for the one that wondered what it was: it’s a kilogram of metal (don’t remember the kind) put under void three times in order for it to resist time (because everything is altered by time), and it is the initial reference for the kilogram. Having an EXACT mesure of one kilogram would require this to be absolutely sure it is the same weight, but most scales are accurate enough for everyday usage.
That said, I’ll now criticise the article’s passage about france:
“France is the home of woolly-minded liberal thinking, disgusting wine and may be the first country in Europe to become an islamofascist dictatorship, but that?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s not what I?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥m going to talk about today.”
There is “woolly-minded liberal thinking” everywhere, we just respect freedom of speech enough to let it be heard.
“Disgusting wine”, well, I don’t know, I live an alcohol-free life (no religious meaning, I just don’t like that)
“Islamofacist dictatorship”… so, dictatorship? believe me, turning a country like france into a dictatorship would be really difficult. We like to protest and we riot very easily, so if a government elected can’t keep us in control, a dictatorship can’t. And islamofascit? please, the french fascist want only one thing: to kick the islamist out of france and there is no political party with islamic ideology (well maybe there is, but they are so small that they mean nothing). As a matter of fact, “islamofascist” is impossible except in countries where islam is the main religion and, for your information, France is still a christian country.
Oh and metrics are the “international system”, which means? yeah, that it’s the system used for any international trading. We don’t care what you do in your country but please convert anything before exportating, OK?
Oh and the second is also part of the international system (even if it is not metric), so I suggest that in protest, you find another way to mesure time.
um wtf is up my last article, is all like a huge fucking link rofl, any chance u guys could edit out wat ever caused that lol, i might have forgotten to close a link after putting it in rofl.
To Bo Thompson,
U complain about G’s name, atleast thats only a nickname or something, at least he doesn’t have a real name of “Bo”
Burn…
Also G Stands for “Go Go Gadget” lol….
And “Yer gonna burn in hell too!” That doesn’t work, because there an’t no hell mate, so I’m going to find it hard to burn there…
“duntcha” Isn’t a word.
“No good Christian would insult the good lord with a name like that!”
I find it hard also to insult an imaginary thing, my imaginary friend is insulted by you though.
And yes my name is an oxymoron
God Of Atheism, is meant as a joke, it also combines the two things that pisses you people off the most, I have actualy considered changing to “Black God of Atheism” or something similar, maybe “God’s Gay Black Atheist Bitch”, but i feel that this is too long.
That is the most pathetic and stupid article I have read. What has god and spirit have to do with maths and measurements? You have something like scientific angels?
Tristan, I could not agree more! The metric system is useless crap!
It’s much easier to say: “One pound of American cheese, please!” instead of saying: “I want four hundred fifty six point five six six three seven grams of American cheese please!” It’s just plain stupid is what it is!!!
Shelley
Shelley, actually we just use round numbers. In this case we?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•d just buy 400 or 500 grams. And again, when you are used to it, it becomes useful. And it?Ǭ¨?Ǭ•s way easier to use then the imperial system, btw.
The German Guy
IMPEACH BUSH!
Sometimes, when I read stuff written by the far right, I ask myself, “What do we have to worry about? They are so stupid and shallow, surely they can’t really convince anyone.” Then I remember that the average IQ is 100 which means that most people are just as stupid and shallow as the writer of this blog, and they are allowed to vote.
Our great experiment in democracy may be doomed because of this.
I thought that France was allied with the US in its war of indepedence from England? Or are we talking about the French and Indian war previous to that was really intended to strengthen the English claim on the North American contient? How can France be the oldest enemy of the US? The only time the US has gone to war against them was Vichy France, which the US didn’t consider a legitmate governement.
LOL, you are pathetic…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_system
It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s much easier to say: ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?One pound of American cheese, please!?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? instead of saying: ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?I want four hundred fifty six point five six six three seven grams of American cheese please!?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? It?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s just plain stupid is what it is!!!
It’s also easier to say “I’d like two hundred grammes of meat” than “I’d like zero point four four zero nine two five pound of meat.” What you say is stupid.
Hi Shelley/Tristan
Watch is easiest to order in:
Seven hundred grams of p’tit Qu??Ǭ©bec cheese
OR
One dot five four three two two pounds of p’tit Qu??Ǭ©bec cheese?
So your are only ignorant people that don’t want to evolve.. The metric is used anywere, even in NASA (no more fucking arkaic imperial mesure here..) The Imperial system is simply….. expired…. We simply have no use for a such bad system anymore since we have a ^10 based system…
But… this site is simply an Entertement… if you want to rofl reading these “??Ǭ¢nerie”. Your credibility are null!
So I need to work!

HHHAAAAA HAAA HHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
OW YOU PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS GOOD FOR A LAUGH. THE METRIC SYSTEM IS OFFENSICE TO JESUS CHRIST. OF COURSE IT IS TRISTANN (thats know as sarcasm by the way, just makin sure u know becasue of the limmted amount of brain cells u people have, one step up from being retarded)
the only countries, besides the U.S., that have not officially adopted the metric system are Liberia (in western Africa) and Burma (also known as Myanmar, in Southeast Asia).
Did you knoW that the numerals we use in the USA(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) along with the rest of the world and the concept of zero(0) were invented by Arabs? We don’t need their stinking NUMBERS,we don’t need NOTHING from them! We should go back to Roman numerals like the Lord intended! After all,Rome ruled over Palestine when Christ was there! We should rid ourselves of these Arabic numerals because they’re “Islamofascist” evil! Remember IX/I/I! LOL But seriously,aren’t you getting way too overworked about the metric system? In Biblical times,they used measurements like cubits that no one uses anymore! Do we go back to that? I’m sure the Lord is concerned with more important things than systems of measurement!
Funny as always, but one thing I must agree with: France would be a better place if you could by great food over there!
The “imperial system” isn’t even a system, it’s just a collection of archaic and inaccurate measurement units developed a long long time ago.
I’d rather say “My weight is 680N” than “My weight is 40134547.1 pounds x inches by second squared”.
Which one makes more sense?
The Imperial system:
1 mile = 5,280 feet
1 yard = 36 inches
1 pound = 16 ounces
or…
The Metric system
1 km = 1000 m
1 m = 1000 mm
1 kg = 1000 g
Maybe metric…
Read that NASA article too.
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/08jan_metricmoon.htm
Bonjour to you all,
Im actually a Brit (gasps! he used a non english word!)
I would just like to point out that the UK (yes uk, not england..the uk is the country, England is just one of the countries that makes it up, kind of like your states)has been using both the metric and imperial systems for years..WITHOUT PROBLEMS!!!
I can order a pound of cheese, OR I can ask for 500grams, ok so one is a little more in mass..but suprisingly people manage to deal with it fine enough. Ok so some of our older people have difficulty getting used to the idea of decimalisation and the use of metric weights and measures, but most realise that it is possible for both systems to rub along ok.#
Here we only use imperial miles for measuring road distances and miles per hour for speed limits,but seeing as our speedos have BOTH imperial and metric dials on them we have no worries about driving in europe..
well other than them driving on the right,and driving badly…but thats a different story.
I love the fact you believe that the measurement system was defined by god…lol
Did you know the american pound is wrong too. over here its known as the “short pound” because it is smaller than the REAL pound.
See another thing you got wrong…Keep up the good work
Tristan J. Shuddery you are a complete blundering idiotic fool.
The metric system is superior and has not only facilitated design and manufacturing but has provided a standard system that economized practically all industrial processes.
Do your research before expounding your views from your posterior.
God Bless America!
This ain’t sarcasm son, Tristan is a good man! The metric system was created by Satan! France… frog leg eatin’ whimps!
Ur goin’t ta hell for questioning Tristan’s wisdom! He is a prophet of the lord!
“France?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?Ǭ? frog leg eatin?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥ whimps!”
O RLY? I’m French and I have never eaten any part of a frog.
Tristan needs to do some actual research, rather than postulating on pointless drivel such as this. Shelly needs to pull her head out of her ass. And Bo needs to stop copulating with his next of kin and “learn himself a book”, so he can get an “edumacation”. That’s what really makes America great, is our education systems.

But seriously, metric makes more sense. I work in a pharmacy, and all measurements we need are done in the metric system. All of our compounds are figured in grams, liters, etc. Why? Because, when working with such miniscule amounts, trying to figure (and measure!) .003 milligrams is certainly a lot easier and less time consuming than figuring it’s ‘Imperial’ counterpart (which is roughly 1.05821886 ??ɬ? 10^-7 ounces in scientific notation…). I would personally perfer to use a system more exacting, so that there are fewer errors made.
Just chew that over next time you pick up a perscription. If pharmacies used your “God-given measurements”, more likely than not, your prescription would end up being improperly filled, which could result in an overdose, or receiving drug that is not potent enough.
Oh, and btw, I believe I win. You just *try* to argue with my logic on this one.

Were you aware that other than the United States, there is only one other country in the world that uses Imperial measurements? That country is Myanmar. And did you know that Myanmar is predominantly Buddhist? It’s true, in fact only 6% of the population is Christian, which is almost matched by Islam’s 4%. Also, Myanmar’s government is base on a Military junta, not a pure, wonderful, beautiful, god-loving, god-fearing democracy like that of the United States.
Oh, and by the way, if you were wondering, nowadays all scientific research and related feilds is done in the metric system, Yes, that means NASA builds Space Shuttles using centimeters not inches.
I stand corrected, Liberia also uses the metric system, but only because originated as a USA off-spring where were could dump all our freed slaves, so we wouldn’t have to deal with them on their own terms.
you stupid idiots
where in the bible does it say antyhign aout the metric system being bad?

O.K. TRISTAN, I SEE YOU DID IT AGAIN! YOU TALKED OUT OF YOUR BEHIND LIKE IT’S YOUR JOB. ABOUT H QUARTER POUNDER YOU SAID: The Quarter-Pounder, the standard by which all other burgers are measured. This is traditional American food at it?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ¥s best. But why do the French oppose this tasty nutritious treat? Simply because a ?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ?Pound?¢‚Ǩ?°?É‚Äû?ɬ? is not a French-style metric measurement. Will the French ever fight for their liberty to eat great food? I doubt it.YOU IGNORAMOUS, IT IS NOT A TASTY NUTRITIOUS TREAT! IT IS AN ARTERY CLOGGING BURGER OF ALMOST PURE FAT! THERE OPPOSING IT BECAUSE OF ITS NAME. THEY OPPOSE IT BECAUSE OF WHAT IT IS.
“Will the French ever fight for their liberty to eat great food?”
i dont think any reasonable food critics would agree with you there. america is the land of over processed fattening food. i suppose god wanted Americans to be the fattest people in the world? because im sorry to say its true.
im still not sure whether this site is a joke or not. at least there are reasonable people like Atheist God to set the record straight and debunk the ridiculous absurd myths of religion
