Exceptionalism

1. K&R n/t

[pampango]

2. American exceptionalism in essence: "We" are better "They" are. No facts or history

can convince us otherwise. The lessons of history and the constraints imposed by facts do not apply to "Us".

3. American exceptionalism isn't about poll rankings...

Its about America's presence and role as a the greatest superpower on Earth and our strength in diversity and unity.

5. I'm giving a definition.

7. American political polarization is the worst -- a case could be made for exceptional disunity.

[Uncle Joe]

9. All those polls will overtime undercut our "superpower" status,

just as Ancient Rome rotted from the inside out.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. USA, Liberia and Burma

Countries still non-metric:



Get with the program, hunh? Not only does this "exceptionalism" cost US taxpayers billions and US companies billions, but it's a drag on the rest of the world going all the way to finally complete metrication.

10. Canada went metric in the 80s

I have adjusted... I think in metric for temperature, gas and distance. I still weigh myself in po unds and my height is in inches. but other wise when buying groceries I think in metric. 2.2 = 1Kg.
Usually the mileage on highways is 100 km which is 60 mph. I think it takes 1 hour to go 100km. easy to figure out. In Canada we tend to think of traveling in time... 6 hours drive to go to.....600km

Kids now are used to it. Join the world USA... go metric

11. Another American exceptionalism - Citizen based Taxation

The only other country in the world who uses CBT is Eritrea....a dictator run country in Africa

The rest of the world uses Resident Based Taxation. This allows a freedom of movement..

Americans are walled in with CBT... like the old USSR.
