UN: Repeal "Metric System"

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

Description: UN Resolution #24: Metric System (Category: Free Trade; Strength: Strong) shall be struck out and rendered null and void.

Argument: Understanding that "Metric System" seeks to standardize weights and measurements, specifically, converting all nations to the metric system,

Regretting, however, that the resolution fails to require any standardized weights and measurements, or provide any details for their implementation, defeating its central purpose,

Seeking the opportunity to pass more detailed and comprehensive international weights and measurements standardization,

Noting that this ineffective piece of legislation bars such an act from passage,

The United Nations hereby repeals "Metric System".

Voting ends Tuesday

[GLIII]

This is nothing but a resolution that will be used to create another resolution probably with a "better" system.

[Bad Infinitum]

Soon enough, people are going to run out of "Repeal X" resolutions, and we're going to have to start repealing the repeals. I always vote against these, just on creative principle. If you don't have a real idea, don't submit it to the UN...it wastes everyone's time.

[Estayland]

Sorry, I like the old English measurements

[Twobagger]

Yes, I think that the metric system could be implemented much more efficiently.

[Sinn Féin's Ireland]

The delegate's vote has been cast 'against'.

The motion looks set to go through though.
