How the fuck am I supposed to know what countries people are from? It's better to use the international political terms, than the misnomers used in the US, because 4chan is an international community.

When have I said anything bad about the US? From a political stance, calling the furthermost left of the political spectre "liberal" and the opposite side of that spectre "conservative" is a very narrow definition and not applicable outside of North America. As a huge part of users are outside of North America, it is not a very clever way of doing things if we use terms only valid in the US.

You don't have to, but it would be beneficial to the community as a whole if we all used the same definitions. And by all means, use the retarded measurements. It doesn't affect me.

I haven't demanded anything. I said I didn't like Japan's liberal politics, and someone accused me of being a conservative, and I clarified that when I said "liberal" I used it in the international definition, not the American one. It would be nice to use a common definition on political ideologies, but I don't demand that anyone does that. You need to chill.

It would take a few generations. They'd need to gradually put in new street signs and such with both miles and km for example, then teach kids both, and as people die off stop teaching imperial and remove imperial signs and such. It would be a humongous pain, unfortunately.
