Maybe they should make manhole covers out of plastic bags, too.

You pour from the bag into a jug when you get home and want to use it, or affix a spigot like bagged/boxed wine.Originally Posted by Joseph-Sulphur
Also the metric system is superior, UHT doesn't taste like shite (and is exactly what Pakoito meant), and trying to measure things by cups/glasses/bowls is stupid because they are not standardised units.

The reason I'm glad I don't use the metric system is the same reason I'm glad there are still different dialects of English.
I like my containers convenient and my languages and measuring systems eccentric.
Although this system doesn't look that much more inconvenient to a plastic jug, I still wouldn't trust 7am me to not spill it everywhere. And I'm not arguing that the metric system isn't superior, I just don't see why we should stop using pints for things like beer and milk when everyone already has a clear idea of what a pint is.

Everyone? I know what a pint is because that's the word I have to yell to a barman of any brit pub anywhere in the world to magically get a decent sized beer.
Any other pub has either "beers" or "jars".
It comes in pints?
I'm getting one.

Damnit if I want caps, I'll use caps.
Jesus you really are an awkward little bugger. Considering I was quoting Nulkigan I don't see how you could not understand that I was referring to everyone in the UK (and Ireland), not trying to imperialistically impose the Imperial system on everyone on the planet.

No. It doesn't.
ARPS unofficial motto - And then we leave. No heroic stands.
Bags are easier and cheaper to make (than normal hospitals). They use less plastic than other (hospitals). Easier to change the production process for different sizes of (hospitals) . They produce less waste (than hospital construction). They're easier to recycle (than normal hospitals). They're easier to transport (than normal hospitals). They're less fragile than (ok this is the only one that doesn't fit hospitals).
Hospitals made out of plastic bags would be so easy and cheap to make, so light on material costs, so easy to modify for different sizes, produce so few waste materials, be so easy to recycle and transport.
Hospitals made out of plastic bags are the future. Heck, they're probably used in Canada already.
In the the wide-open bits of the US, a lot milk is sold by regional dairies who have ironed out some sort of mafia style territory system. A couple of national syndicates will try and elbow in every so often, but they can't touch the local prices since the cows are usually within a couple hundred miles of the stores. Watching with their big sad eyes.
Anyway, you can get different milk packaging just by visiting the grocery a few counties over as a result. Also different flavors of ice cream and various cheeses. Someday the MILK LORDS will take over, but they'll have a fight on their hands.. hooves.
(wtf is vbulletin cmd for strikethrough?)

All times I have enjoyed greatly, have suffered greatly, both with those that loved me, and alone.
Oh grief, someone in our flat bought UHT milk and I just poured it on my cereal. Blegh. My crunchy nut is RUINED!
UHT is horrible, I have no idea why anyone can stand that stuff. Sure when the apocalypse happens we might have to get used to it. But until that day happens I think I will get the nice stuff.
I can't tell if you're serious, or making a joke, because that is f*cking ludicrous.
Plastic bags as a vessel for selling and supplying milk, compared to other methods, are at worst mildly inconvenient and at best cheaper, more ecologically sound, easier way to do it.
Plastic Hospitals, compared to regular Hospitals, would be sh*t.
Plastic bags for Milk are hardly a change in quality from what we currently have, they still function largely the same way. Plastic Hospitals, on the other hand, would NOT function anything like current Hospitals do.
So, OK. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you CAN use the same reasons (if you're an idiot)... But, it doesn't mean those reasons will be convincing, as even a cursory look at the situation will tell you.
Just extend your logic, for even a tiny fraction of time Berzee. You're saying that the arguments for A, any A in the world whatsoever, can be used for B, regardless of how wildly, vastly, incomprehensibly different B is from A.

You can add some grass and cow poo to enhance the flavour.
@DigitalSignalX -- it's "del" and "/del" in angle brackets.
You are a stronger man than I. I suspect that having my gallon carton replaced with a bag would fill me with a sadness too great for words. (I don't feel the same way about manhole-cover shapes, but I might if I used them every day).
However, now that you've brought degrees of inconvenience and other such disadvantages into the problem (instead of only the advantages), of course only the maddest (geniusest!?) of men would attempt such a hospital revolution as I propose.

didn't seem to work. Google claims board admins have to enable it, it is not allowed by default.

<del>oh really?</del>
hah =P pity, it works in the comments
The forums use square brackets. The strike-through [del]does[/del] doesn't work, though.
