Correct me if I'm wrong, but Europeans invented the 12 hour clock and the
sandwich (which the hamburger is based off of). American football was based
off of rugby as well. Decimal points were introduced by the British, as was
our "standard" system.

Nah I don't have a problem with you being different, I respect that. It's
just most Europeans blame the Americans for being different. We're just
keeping your old customs :P.

I don't understand football (american football) either, nor do I like it.

As for the time thing, I don't see who made it anywhere on that page, I
seriously doubt Americans came up with 12 hour time. Swiss clocks have been
around a lot longer I've heard. And to NCC, the brits are part of Europe
whether they want to say so or not.

And sandwhiches came from the Earl of Sandwhich, John Montague, (don't
laugh, it's true, so I've read). He was at a party and I guess he was
having a hard time eating his toast and meat while playing cards, so he put
them together. He was born in 1718 (before the US was the US for you
non-history savvy people).. LoL

The earlist pendulum clock was invented by the dutch

http://inventors.about.com/library/weekly/aa072801a.htm#pendulum

Which proves the 12 hour clocks existed before the US did :) At this time
the 24 hour time standard didn't exist, so it's still using the old 12 hour
system.

No it's not. I don't know about you but I don't have a huge digital clock
in my room on the wall. Like I said in awteen, it's the same damn system.
Just subtract or add 12 and you're set. 14 o'clock or 14 hundred hours?
I'm pretty sure they'll tell you 2 o'clock instead. Most of my French and
English friends use the 12 hour system, you're the only one that can't
understand it.

Wow a monster.. what are you talking about? I'm disagreeing with eep, read
it again. Europeans are very stereotypical and mean to Americans. This
applies to MOST of them I've met. Not all, most. NCC being a clear example
of that. If our customs are different, we're stupid apparently. I'm not
being intolerant. Don't know where you got that from.

I don't care how you format numbers, it doesn't matter as long as we can
both understand each other. And reasonably using periods in place of commas
is pretty confusing since you do have to worry about decimals. I prefer the
comma system.

> with others americans ..

I know, but a lot of Europeans have ill manners towards the US. Using
France as an example, My friend was visiting and a lot of the people on the
street acted snobby to him soely because he was from the US.

so

I'm not trying to force them? Spacing is easier too, nothing might be the
best, excluding decimals.

I didn't tell you to change? Why are you picking me out, I said I respected
that you're different.

So is the US :P. Different areas of the US are like the different areas of
Europe. You'd be surpised. The northeast (where I am) is more European
like, while the southeast is the redneck country (not all of them but the
majority). The west is the rich people since it costs a fortune to have a
freaking house over there. So on so forth :D

Hey I was friendly, just pointed the origins of things out and why people
blame the US for being different when we basically use their customs they
gave us.

Oh my, read the post. I said my friend. I myself have visited a couple
though. England, France, and Germany. Germany was the best of them all
too. I didn't say you did have a beret on your head, where are you getting
this stuff from? It seems like you to put words in my mouth since I'm
disagreeing with you.

Hence why I disagreed with him in the first place. The "we" statement had
nothing to do with me, like I said. I was simply using a cliche phrase and
"talked" in his person.

It's pretty easy to tell who's American on the street. Hell I can pick out
tourists when they walk buy. They usually dress different, talk different,
and some more things set them apart. When you see someone looking at a map
and talking to themselves in a different language to try and get their
bearing then try to ask someone for help (with your small knowledge of that
language) it's hard not to tell. Think outside the box, this isn't AW where
everyone uses bad grammar and you can't tell where they're from.

> customs

I didn't force them. _He_ was the only one who's trying to force the
change, excluding eep, silly eep heh. Maybe you can't teach an old dog old
tricks either? ;) I'm simply stating they're the same system. One's more
exact on analog clocks. On digital clocks they both contain the same
exactness. The thing is, you should be able to use both.

as
> I

Like I said, I did not tell you to change your system either. I even said I
accept your difference. If you have something wrong with Eep, you talk to
eep, don't take it out on me. Despite what you think, we don't all stick
together when we're attacked, if he believes something I'm apposed to, I
won't "cover his back."


It's still there. I just get a little ticked off at people when they single
me out when I was trying to remain neutral.

I know. But I was just trying to show ananas that our "different" customs
were originally their own. Most we've adapted, like football. That was
based off of rugby and soccer (football in europe). Hamburgers which is
based off of the design of a sandwhich devloped by the Earl of Sandwhich.
The 12 hour clock system which has long been used before the contraception
of the US. The standard system was also used before metric. I use metric
btw, excluding for temperature. Farenheit is more exact (longer distance
from freezing to boiling).

Erm it's the same thing both ways. Capture the Flag _is_ a derivative of
paintball. Then there's just standard paintball where it's team on team,
last man standing's team wins. Or the ever popular free for all. But
capture the flag is paintball.

Capture the flag has long existed before video games that breached into
online FPS shooting. Tribes is a spawn off of Paintball. With "death" that
you can't have in paintball. That's the only difference. It takes no
effort to make a paintball bot anymore, it takes just a little more to add
in capture the flag too. Easily done. The whole paintball thing is way
overdone. There are tons of cheaters and those that have become so godlike
it loses it's interest.
