Jul 8 2009WHOO! Party Like It's 12:34:56 07/08/09!

first

LAST

weee!!

ANOTHER HOUR!

what if you put days ahead of months?

IT HAPPENS TWICE!

Everyone missed it 12 hours ago.

i'll prefer the 03:45:67 8/9/10

but since is not posible >.<

when this happens here I will finally be able to walk among the living and lay their souls to waste.

THE HOUR OF ETERNAL DARKNESS IS UPON US!!!!!!

I thought I missed an opportunity for a party until I realised we do the date and month the other way round here! So 7th August is party time! I'll need a big banner to write blp's 123456789 party on.

In what ƒüçǩing world is it the 7th of August right now?

Learn how to read a ƒüçǩing date. Idiots. The lot of you.

YellowBird you ignorant fool! Different countries have different date formats.

Who puts days before months?? That's stupid...

monthdayyear monthdayyear

This happened back in 1990 and it was even cooler as there was a zero at the end. Once in 100 years...NOPE!

12:34:56 7/8/90

It hasn't happened here on the west coast yet, but technically. Didn't we miss this by 2000 years.

the time will be 12:34:56, 07/08/2009

People in Europe put days before months.

No. Only the United States has a different - and absurdly incorrect - method of writing the date. Because you're all idiots.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD: Year/Month/Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds. Biggest to smallest. This isn't rocket science. This is something you learn in GRADE SCHOOL.

Using the Day/Month/Year standard at least keeps the relative order of the date correct. Month/Day/Year is absolutely NEVER correct, again, unless you're an idiot or an American.

I'm just saying. Try opening a book once in a while.

blp & Timbo = FAIL

YellowBird = Still AMAZINGLY right.

Keep trying, though. Eventually you might say something remotely intelligent.

I'm American and I agree with YellowBird =]

@17 you're ignorance nulls anything informative you might have posted, you're clearly not american & definitely an idiot

This is the difference between the US and Europe. I guess all of us in the US can celebrate this monumental event again by going over to Europe in August. As for all you Euro's... SUCKERS!!! We get to celebrate TWICE yo!!

@17 - We may be idiots, but we kicked your ass in WWW2.

naas! you are in Southern Cali right now? How Southern are you?

FAKE!!!!

This is a compklete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max needed lots of power for his time machine and got Jim Ignatowski to hook up a wire to capture some lightning.

@19

I believe you meant to say "your arrogance."

Arrogant? Of course; While I'm definitely an a$$höle, I am, indeed, not American, evidentially not ignorant and still amazingly right.

Yellow bird. tsk Tsk. my bed wetter bird brain. who cares who is wrong and who is right. If any. Its should be booze/sex/sleep. or in any order you prefer? or any other ideas? raises eyebrow*

@Pew³
Rancho Mirage, heading to LA for the weekend tomorrow. I would've knocked on your door by now but I'm not as southern as you

oh no, is this gonna turn into a we saved your ass in WWII discussion? Anyway I agree with YellowBird that smallest to largest units in order makes more sense but I also don't give a f--- if the Americans want to do it "wrong." After all half their words are spelt wrong like "color." People divided by a common language.

"Sorry, guys. We've gotten a lot of complaints so we need to start moderating the language on the site. Try cleaning up the language in your comment and post it again. Lame, we know. Thanks for understanding."

Nigga please!

@25

I believe, Mr. TIME, that you have indeed bested me in this dual of ideology.

Booze/Sex/Sleep would be a much better standard, provided that the days of the Booze be written in Narcotics.

@24 no I meant ignorance, unsurprisingly I believe you're amazingly wrong again.

I don't have a problem with arrogance because it's easy to be an asshole on the interwebz. You also drive on the wrong side of the road & sit on the wrong side of the car

@24

At least we fackin know how to use proper punctuation you run on sentence mofo!!!

First of all, america should get a metric system going, makes more sense, maybe that whole date thing would be okay also. But other than that we fricken pwned all ur arses in a matter of a few hundred years! EPIC PWNAGE... Although I feel we police the world too much and should freakin work on figuring out our own fackin problems... Enough paradoxes yet?!! Well in America we waged a war on paradoxes so checkmate bleaces...

Let the hate begin!!!!

http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/7055/0/America.ashx

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY

Ha! I have 6 minutes to go!

@32

Make it a good one. Shoot yourself.

Americans use the MM/DD/YYYY format due to how it's normally pronounced in conversation.

ie. I went and fu*ked YellowBird's mother on July 8th, 2009.

Most people don't speak it as "I also came inside her ass in the year 2009, in July, on the 8th.

@24 - Perhaps he meant to call you a messy wiper, and lucky not to be speaking German now. Friggin euro-ingrate.

@17: YAY.. i like you..

@21:

I don't believe Europe was in WWW2 :/ ..

@37: YAY.. we all hate you..

well ill smoke to that

*is hilariously not European*

But please, do continue. I love watching you all fuel the fire to how amazingly right I am.

@35

Is that where she was? I lost track of her while I was ƒüçǩing you in an uncomfortable place on the 7th of July, 2009.

I speak it the same way its written and I remain amazingly right. What's your excuse for still being an idiot?

what the hell is WWW2?

World War What 2?

Where's Waldo War 2?

Worthless World War 2?

World Wide Web 2?

wow

@40 You've already been proven wrong so now you're just delusional. Can I come live by where you are, I am amazingly homosexual and find myself very attracted to you. You're a fag magnet and I am hungry.

@43 hahahaha

I think everyone's forgetting this has ALREADY happened in our lifetimes... and may happen again for those that are young enough... 1:23:45 June 7, 1989 ... and will happen again 1:23:45 June 7 2089...

..I didn't catch the yellowbird thing at first but that's just damn funny

We also missed 07:08:09 07/08/09 as well.

@40

You said, in post 17, and I quote:

"INTERNATIONAL STANDARD: Year/Month/Day Hour:Minutes:Seconds. Biggest to smallest."

Yet in post 40 you say you speak it as, and I quote again:

"7th of July, 2009"

So which is it? Is it YYYY/MM/DD as you said in the previous post, or DD/MM/YYYY as you just stated?

How's it feel to get pwned by yourself? I'm pretty sure the phrase "You're a tool" is in a universal format, good on you for getting that one correct.

@40

......no......he's right.

sometimes the simplest, most dumbed down way of doing things don't make as much sense.

english is spoken "june 30th" we have suffixes like "th" "st" and "nd" like 5th 1st and 2nd. so unlike, for instance, spanish where they essentially say the 30th day of june in 2009, we say june 30th, 2009 IE 06/30/89

Oh snap!

Yawn -_-.....weather you're a stupid European or an American idiot, we're all gonna die anyway on 12:21:12 12/21/2012 or 21:12:12 21/12/2012, so saith the ruler of Bethos...

We need a little shotgun diplomacy up in here.

That european is amazingly intolerant for this day and age.

I am going to go with the August 7th one because I forgot about today and I want to have a geeky party and also Friday is a better day to have a party. That's my excuse.

Who cares. We Americans still get to celerate this bad boy TWICE.

thats like that 6/6/06, or 7/7/07 stuff right? well...... thats dumb. In fact its almost as dumb as this http://tinyurl.com/c7o694

Oh wait!! We forgot about 2:34:56 7/08/09 WOO HOO thats another one!! and in like 15 minutes for all of us west coasters.

man this IS a great day.

too bad we missed 12:34:56 7/08/09 :(

@48

Check post 17 again, genius. I also wrote, and I quote:

"Using the Day/Month/Year standard at least keeps the relative order of the date correct. Month/Day/Year is absolutely NEVER correct, again, unless you're an idiot or an American."

Reading is awesome. I know I do it. Do you?

Once again for the cheap seats in the back - and for Ollie Williams, who is clearly lacking in the grey matter department - this means that saying the 7th of July, 2009 (the day I was ƒüçǩing Williams in an uncomfortable place) follows the DD/MM/YYYY format, which is acceptable since it "at least keeps the relative order of the date correct."

Listen, I don't know why this is so hard for you to accept. MM/DD/YYYY is absolutely NEVER correct, whether written numerically or spoken incorrectly.

See how you failed yet again? See how I'm amazingly right yet again? Try not to hurt yourself next time... tool.

@49

No... He's wrong.

Sometimes the simplest, most dumbed down things make the most sense, and being American, you can't even get those right.

If you knew what you were talking about, you would know that saying "July 7th" is, indeed, correct. Saying "July 7th, 2009," though, makes you a ƒüçǩing idiot.

Please repeat after me: MM/DD/YYYY is absolutely NEVER correct. It is, however, acceptable to say the month and day IF you do not follow it with the year. So, saying "July 7th" works. Saying "July 7th, 2009" means you've failed at life.

If you write the date, the correct way is biggest to smallest: YYYY/MM/DD. The standardized way of speaking the full date is still - and will always be, no matter how much you Americans think you're right - "7th of July, 2009" which maintains its incremental order.

Thank you, though, for trying. Your effort was appreciated.

----

On a side note, I find it amazingly funny that you Americans fight proudly to remain ignorant. Why do you do that?

"Hi, I'm someone who's teaching you something that you're doing wrong."

"NO! I WANT TO REMAIN AN IDIOT! HURRAY AMERICA!"

Seriously, you guys are hilarious. I'm sure all of you are familiar with this website called Google. Look it up, you dumb ba$tard$.

By the way, the reason "7th of July, 2009" is the correct speaking order is because you could precede the date with the day of the week:

"Tuesday, 7th of July, 2009"

This is why people say "Tuesday, the 7th" or "Saturday the 11th" and not "11th Saturday."

Under the American system, one would say "Tuesday the July". See how that doesn't work? Your variation of "Tuesday, July 7th" means its a Day-Month-Date-Year flip flop which makes about as much sense as two bald men fighting for a comb.

Suck it up, crybabies. Admit defeat to may amazing knowledge of the date. Cry in shame, children. CRY.

The worlds oldest man at 113 years old will at the end of today seen it 4 times.

04:05:06 7/8/09

Month Day Year? You know where the center of time is? Greenwich where they use Day Month Year, get it right!

That clock in the picture says 02:39:56 also.

Basically this: time, months, days and everything else to do with time in reference to anything except itself has no meaning whatsoever. What day is the first of a month or why there even are months is simply for convenience sake. There's no reason to say that January is the first month of the year simply because the phrase, "beginning of the year" is self-referential. What I'm getting at here is that whatever format you decide to use, it doesn't matter. You're still just doing the functionally identical operation as adding "3 + 2" and saying that it's different than adding "2 + 3."

Furthermore, the reason why we Americans use this format is because we're not stupid enough to require the year to be repeated every time we talk about the date. What you see with the "month/day/year" format is the fusion of a singular "month/day" only format with the added utility of the year in cases you need it. We don't need to be reminded of either what day of the week it is or what year it is on a daily basis, we're not retarded.

And as for the grammar argument, you guys say "a corporation have" instead of "a corporation has," so you automatically lose.

who cares? not me. nope, not one bit.

well, maybe just a little.

http://bootelicious.mybrute.com

@63

Because, as Americans, you only think about yourselves and you like remaining dumb. See post 58 for proof.

When dealing with the global community, international clientele, historical documents, academic papers and every other instance of using the date when not speaking to your fellow retarded compatriots on a casual basis, you forget that you confuse people by not knowing how to write the date correctly. See, everyone else writes it and speaks it correctly, and they you idiots walk into the room telling us we're wrong. Yeah, keep trying, moron.

You propagate ignorance and you think its okay because "Well, everyone else I know does it. And we don't ever, ever, never, need to mention the year in any form whatsoever, unless we need to mention it?"

Yeah, that's a freakin' brilliant argument. Keep being an idiot. Glad it works out for you.

@ YellowBird

Well, intuitively it seems you are a very bitter fellow. Your repetitiveness of furious comments about Americans can only be explained in one way. I can only fathom that an American transfer student f*cked your girlfriend/boyfriend and she/he told you the American was much better. I can empathize with your pain, but I must still ask you go blow yourself. Ta Ta!

Given that time and date are just meaningless numerals fixed to a random moment in an infinite spectrum of time this coincidence really has no importance... I never thought I would have to use this analogy twice in my life but it worked just as well showing up late for a job interview.

FALSE!!! it happens 4 times a year actually. it happened twice today and will happen twice on july 8th, 2090...12:34:56 07/08/90
1234567890

@17 Ouch. that's a harsh generalization. How about saying *some* americans are idiots, just as *some* europeans are idiots. in english we say July 7th not like in spanish, "siete de julio." so we date by MM/DD/YYYY and spaniards date by DD/MM/YYYY

Star Date: 070809

God damned Europeans are insulting us again. Some times I think they are worse than those damned Romulans. Especially when it comes to their whiny argument of how to calculate date and time. They are the same calculations no matter how you arrange them. Unless, of course, you use a different calender. Let us see...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar

HOLY SHIT! YOU MEAN OTHER HUMAN CIVILIZATIONS HAVE FIGURED OUT OTHER WAYS TO DETERMINE THE CONCEPT OF TIME? Chill out goldenshowerbird. You are still incorrect according to the other half of the globe. You just hate Americans because we have bigger brains. By brains I mean dicks...Nope wrong again. It is both.

Awesome ..!!

Seriously? Arguing about how the date is written?

It's not just the USA that swaps their dates around sometimes, it happens in Canada too. Also, do me a favor and if your using windows hover above the time in the bottom right corner there. Does it say Month, Day, Year?

Game Over.

@70 I love it when you're half in the bag GFS, I just did 2 shots in your honor

This is fun, everybody arguing about meaningless crap like how should we express a date that WE MADE UP IN THE FIRST PLACE. Hell, it hasn't even been 3 centuries since the last calender change from Julian to Gregorian...it's not as if Jesus was actually born on the 25th day of December in the year Zero anyway....so all these numbers were basically pulled out of people's asses...so how can they have any sort of cosmic significance? It doesn't matter which way you write it, it's all totally made up.....

Sort of like the way the Brits, Aussies, and Japanese drive on the left, while almost everyone else drives on the right, the U.S. has not completely embraced the Metric System (We buy milk in gallons but Coke in liters, gasoline is measured in gallons but engine displacements in liters), but then again the UK measures roads in miles but weight in kilograms....so everybody does it their own way, and so what? Is the conversion technically inefficient? Sure.

But the brain needs exercise, too. So maybe making these conversions in our daily lives exercises our brains a little bit. That's why I only wear analog watches with no actual numbers on them. Every time I check the time, I exercise my brain a little bit.

Let's all have our own measurements systems, force ourselves to constantly convert from one to the other, and we'll all end up smarter!

Yeah, you got your date the wrong way round.

Why would mm/dd/yy ever make more sense than dd/mm/yy? Stupid.

@72 no, it says day/month/year because of my location. if this is the sort of game you play you must get very bored up there in the moontains where the only other games you play involve children and pitchforks.

Americans are the only people in the world retarded enough to put months before days. I'll be waiting till the 7th of August for the actual day this happens.

Man,

I live in Europe, so the calendar format tha we use is dd/mm/yy, só our party is only in the next month.
So if you want to celebrate again change your calendar format or come to Europe. :D

@ 77

WOW! Very impressive, you learned how to write the english language without the hassle of learning to read it! Great job!! Unless of course you are a d-bag who happened to skip over the GFS's spot on arguement @ 70 about how we are not the only country that does it this way.

BTW: Why don't you be a little patriotic and defend your actual country instead of "Europe". It makes you sound like you know your from one of those sh*tty little ones no one gives a cr*p about.

Aliens have a different time system.
Like JDU/HH/iIUZ

@Jaded

Are you in Newfoundland? I'm just trying to figure out why you're always up so early.

stupid americans. it's 8/7/09 bitches. day before month ftw

my god reading this shit makes me want to stab you all in the face repeatedly

i can only blame myself

@84

Hello asshole. Would you like to read the only good argument on this thread?

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/07/whoo_party_like_its_123456_070.php#comment-123300

Now go kill yourself.

... only if you are an idiot, or American (same thing, right?). Month before year is not standard date nomenclature, and is only "July 9th" for ease of speech and phonetics cos' you are all too lazy to say "9th of July".

Still, you guys can have your little party on your own while the rest of the world celebrates at 12:34:56 on the 7th of August, 2009.

Oh, and to put the rest of the idiots right, there is only ONE 12:34:56, in the afternoon, unless you use the 12 hour date format, which again is antiquated.

@86

I will wait for August 7, as DDMMYY is what's used here. How it is spoken in conversation really doesn't seem to matter as this is more about how it is written IMO.

11/9, never forget.

Good read good read... I especially like the goldenshowerbird GFS post and post #43. Reading all that made me parched, I think I'll reach for a nice refreashing pee cola

http://static.pyzam.com/img/funnypics/3/collegehumor.0d5ee91a81c93b940de995449f476faa.jpg

I do love me you Americans, but you have to admit that the whole MM/DD thing is a bit whack… like the imperial measurements, you guys are really hanging in there with that, aren't you?

hey guys, you know, its funny these people the go to sleep, they think everythings fine everythings good, they wake up next day and they're on fire.

Ha ha ha. We all hate each other!

"hell yeah i just grabbed a random picture online" = lolz

I'm soooo happy to be living in a country which puts the day before the month.
7 augustus 2009, here I come! :D

AH-HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

@70

THANK YOU for this post:

http://www.geekologie.com/2009/07/whoo_party_like_its_123456_070.php#comment-123300

leading to the Wikipage on calenders here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar

If you actually read the entire page, you'll note how they label the system for the Gregorian calendar:

"Calendars with two levels of cycles:

* year, month, and day – most systems, including the Gregorian calendar (and its very similar predecessor, the Julian calendar), the Islamic calendar, and the Hebrew calendar
* year, week, and weekday – e.g. the ISO week date"

That's a DIRECT QUOTE. Year, month, day. Or Year, week, weekday. Amazingly, I think there's some sort of order to BOTH those systems. Hmm... interesting...

Furthermore, upon reading most of the other systems, its seems that almost EVERY system is arranged from BIGGEST TO SMALLEST, or some variation of CONSECUTIVE DEGREES. Check it out. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Furthermore, once again, here's another link within your link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

"Date and time values are organized from the most to the least significant: year, month (or week), day, hour, minute, second, and fraction of second. The lexicographical order of the representation thus corresponds to chronological order, except for date representations involving negative years."

The only one NOT listed in either entry? Come on, take a guess! Go on! I know you can do this. I'll give you a hint: It starts with "Month" and ends with "Year" and has "Day" inexplicably in the middle.

So - hold on... wait for it please...

You're going to love this...

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU FOR PROVING HOW AMAZINGLY RIGHT I AM AND HOW UNBELIEVABLY HEBETUDINOUS YOU AND YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS ARE.

THANK YOU FOR PROVING MY THESIS THAT EVEN WHEN AMERICANS TRY TO READ AND DEBATE, THEY FAIL HORRIBLY.

Seriously, dude. Getting owned by your own source is what we in the educated world would call an "EPIC FAIL."

Thank you very much, though, for trying to play.

I remain - and will always be - still AMAZINGLY right and WAY WAY WAY smarter than anyone living below that unbelievably nescient country of yours.

YOU CAN ALL GO HOME NOW.

Thread over. I won. Over and over and over and over again.

How does someone live "below" a country, unless they're dead and buried / living in a bunker? I call epic fail.

@97

No, you didn't win anything. All you did was prove how arrogant and full of shit you really are. You can't even grasp the point I made. Which is human civilization, in its myriad of forms, have had different ways to measure time. No one way is better than the next. To say my way is wrong is to say your way is wrong. Would you argue that the Hebrew or Chinese calendars are also wrong? Probably, but only because you're an asshole. An asshole that I pity.

You don't wish to cry out against social injustices. You care not about the global impact of genetically modified food. Nor do you detest the act of war. Your greatest argument for the improvement of humanity is to insult an entire continent for the format it writes the date and time. On top of that, you do so on an American website. I really hope you are ashamed of yourself. You are the very definition of an internet troll. I hope you will find peace and enlightenment ...at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft. Mögest Du ewig in der Hölle schmoren!

@98

Type nearly 400 words but miss one "in" and I fail epically. Sigh.

I meant below "in" that unbelievably nescient country. As in below the 49th parallel. As in I live in the country above the US. As in not in Europe as everyone here hilariously - and still erroneously - believed. As in, way to still be unbelievably wrong, Gordon.

@99

Seriously, Gordon, just stop. You're making yourself look more and more retarded with each post.

And stop changing the argument. You're doing something called "deviation" to try to shift the argument toward a platform where you think you can win, as well as making s#it up to hide the fact that you now realize that you will never, ever, ever beat me in a contest of intellect, and that you are, essentially, a ƒüçǩing idiot.

I never once said I had a problem with anyone else's calender system and I frankly don't care about their calendar systems, EVEN THOUGH they all follow some sort of logic.

All I care about is YOUR calendar system and how all you dumb ba$tard$ are perpetuating ignorance and stupidity. Even when someone corrects you and points out what a ƒüçǩing moron you are, you still stick to being an idiot. THAT'S what I'm against, Gordon: That you ƒüçǩers want people to be as ƒüçǩing dumb as you are and that you ba$tard$ are perfectly content to remain dumb in the face of education and evidence.

So, yes, I do care about social injustices and the global impact of genetically modified food and the act of war and the improvement of humanity. I just don't think that you and your fellow countrymen are the ones who will bring it about. Because if you can't see how UNBELIEVABLY WRONG you are and how UNBELIEVABLE stupid you're all being for something as simple as writing the bloody date, then what on Earth makes you think I should listen to anything else you say? You're not even open to the possibility that you're wrong. You could have saved yourself a whole bunch of trouble, educated yourself, but instead, you just want to best me. Good job, genius. Like I'm going to listen to ANYTHING you have to say now.

I have peace and enlightenment: Its schooling ignoramuses like you. I'm making the world a better place but pointing out who the idiots are and hoping they'll one day realize that being stupid sucks and educating oneself is awesome. But then I look at America, and I realize what a pipe dream that is.

Now, quit trying to best me. I've proved over and over that you can't, and all you can do now is throw insults. I've won, you've lost I'm STILL AMAZINGLY RIGHT and you're still a ƒüçǩing idiot.

@Yellowbelly aka internet troll

Did you ever think that your system is flawed? Because it is. We write the time and date the way we speak it. How logical! Why would we write in such an ass backwards fashion? It would cause chaos, that's why! People would start living solely on the dole, worshiping an antiquated government, and boiling all of their food. You have yet to best me. All you've done...wait nevermind. You're a troll and I'm not going to bite anymore.

Cool! Especially since I already dealt with that argument in posts 58 & 59! In short: You're saying the date wrong, 'cause you're an idiot.

I love how I keep winning and you keep losing! Keep not learning and pwning yourself! You make your countrymen proud!

Gords ! Yellow !
Cuddle ?

ok everyone is jus cursin the hell outta each other and i just wanna know what's with this date thing.

P.S: It makes more sense to WRITE day/month/year than say it, but for the most part, if we wrote exactly what we said, Webster's Dictionary would have a shit load of new words to put in. And for those who don't understand, i mean dilect...DUH. See? Perfect example.

@101

Ever thought YOUR system is flawed? Don't you realize that America is the only country that does everything different to the rest of the world? You guys are like the fat unpopular kid in school that smells funny that no ones want to be close to that trys to be the class clown and fails epically. Not implyin that America is a bad-smelling, lame joke throwing country...or am I? Anyways, I think everyone is entitled to their own freakin ways of doing shit, so stop bashin the eff out of each other. Damn

@101:

The Jew and chinese ones do, keep it in incremental order too...

And on the issue of backwardness, you might be the one who's approaching that.

Face it, Azns and N*ggers will be ruling your country in the near-time. Oh wait, they already are! What's your problem anyway? It's only a matter of change of rule from THEM JEWS whom we despise so much for doing better on everything we, the GRORIOUS Aryans, are proud for! I, for one, welcome our new Positron Overlords. ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH.

It is not the only or best way. You idiots seem to keep missing that point. The fact you keep arguing that point shows how simple minded you all are.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#mm.2Fdd.2Fyy_or_mm.2Fdd.2Fyyyy_.28month.2C_day.2C_year.29

Our way is not the best and your way is not the worst. They are just different. Get it through your thick skull.

Also see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_and_time_notation_by_country

Man, that last link is depressing.

The ONLY countries using the American system are America, Canada, Ireland and Australia; all the English speaking countries most influenced by America. And with the exception of America, all those countries standardized the International format first. I love how the entry under Canada specifically states that the stupid American system simply causes confusion.

This is exactly MY point: THANKS AMERICA! Thanks for dumbing down the rest of the world because you dumb ba$tard$ need to do things the AMERICAN WAY. Thanks for pushing your stupid ignorance on everyone else. Thanks for continuing to NOT LEARN and telling us: "WAAH!! BUT WE WANNA BE DIFFERENT! WE LIKE DOING THINGS THAT MAKE NO SENSE!"

Ugh. I'm done with this. I've proved how AMAZINGLY right I've consistently been. Stupid America with it stupid date system.

You're an illiterate dick. Since when is Kenya an English speaking or American influenced country? Or the Federated States of Micronesia? You didn't read the link did you? Austrailia uses your system. God damn! I've never had the chance to argue with such a thick headed git in all my life. "It's all America's fault. All the woes of the world are America's fault. Every American is a fat, lazy, uneducated bumpkin with big guns. This is all because they don't write the date like I do." That's your real argument, isn't it? You don't really care about how we notate time and date. You just have a juvenile vendetta against Americans. You couldn't find any legitimate reason to hate America, so you drew your line here. Well, it looks like I can't change your mind. No matter how small and simple it is. You'll keep thinking you're right and I'll keep proving you're a braying jackass. Cheers, dipshit! You really do your countrymen proud.

I hates Americanz! They're so stupids because they don't put the unnecessary letter U in the word colour. I hates 'em cuz they won't spell neighbour correctly! The power of th U make me AMAZINGLY still a douche bag,

Did anyone realize that it's almost 12:34:56 7-8-9 in continental Europe?
Anyone who missed it elsewhere, celebrate with us!
