Muhrican's system can be confusing as fuck. When I was at high school, my english teacher was a former professional basketball player (The Globetrotters, or something like that) and he would never say that his height was "seven feet two inches", he would always say "six feet fourteen inches"

For reference, his name was Pascal Fleury

Just to be clear that is highly irregular and he likely did that for attention

I have never heard anyone go above 12 inches and skip adding a foot

Edit: he had depressingly bad stats wow Jesus

When Americans still use fabric money instead of superior polymer (more durable), still use nonsensical Imperial units, still use the illogical MM/DD date format instead of DD/MM, and still lack any real kind of gun control laws (allowing massacre after massacre to occur, risking the lives of countless innocent civilians)...and pretending other religions and atheism don't exist by placing "In God We Trust" bloody well everywhere they can...yeah, I think I'm justified in disliking the country as a whole.

The USA can go suck a railroad spike. Get with the program, or get lost. Modernise, or become a laughingstock of a nation.

The international ISO Standard is YYYY/MM/DD (can be sort easy) in USA they uses DD/MM but speaks Month day'st

We do not use DD/MM btw

Whenever I see for instance 19/5 it looks to me like some crazy man believes the months go up to 19

This will confuse Americans every time

They won't vote any gun control law, because if they do, then they won't be the country of freedom, where you have the freedom to go test your gun on childrens in school.
BUT they want to forbid women to do whatever they want with their body.

In short, don't kill your baby while it's inside your uterus, wait for it to go to school so it can be killed there (we don't care if you bounded with them in the meantime)

It's beyond that, we aren't capable of voting to change the gun laws

It's a part of the constitution which requires massive hurdles to change - even if 51% wanted it, it would not change

"An amendment may be proposed by a two-thirds vote of both Houses of Congress, or, if two-thirds of the States request one, by a convention called for that purpose. The amendment must then be ratified by three-fourths of the State legislatures, or three-fourths of conventions called in each State for ratification."

So basically 67% have to want it to even be considered, then 75% have to agree on it

Good luck with finding any issue 75% of people agree on in almost any country

18th amandment and 21st amandment?

Both nigh 100 years old

That is a ridiculously long time in American history given how new this nation is

By the way, i don't know why the fact it happened 100 years ago should make any difference on if it can happens now or later.
Also, more recently, the referendum on Catalogne independance, with 90% of yes
Referendum of New-Caledonia, with 96% of no
It seems like "having 75% of vote" is not so rare when you actually give it a shot
