And you've also never even answered why and for what purpose it was demoted from planet to dwarf planet and what such a thing serves.

That's because they're not telling us.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

That's because they're not telling us.

Because it doesn't fit with the IAU definition of a planet. Kind of simple.

You're the one making it it something bigger than it needs to be.

 

[AV1611VET]

Because it doesn't fit with the IAU definition of a planet.

That's because Funk & Wagnalls, and Webster, and the Encyclopedia Britannica and others stood by and let them change the definition, without saying a word (no pun intended).

It's all about money, isn't it?

Really? Is that what you think? Or are you just saying words now?

 

[AV1611VET]

I'll say it again.

They did not tell us why.

They just did it, while the rest of the world looked on.

(Does that remind you of someone?)

Not even remotely the same as trying to allude the Holocaust to the demotion of Pluto.

If that is what you are trying to say, then my respect for you has sunk down A LOT.

Now would I do that?

They didn't tell us.

They just changed the definitions to fit their agenda, and no one said a thing until it was too late.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Now would I do that?

Yes, you would. Because there are times where you will throw aside any decency you have because it suits your needs.

They didn't tell us.

And yet their 'agenda' does nothing to directly affect you in any way shape or form. So why should you even care?

 

[AV1611VET]

And yet you have a lot of respect for me?

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

Never said I have or had a lot of respect for you.
I just said that you trying to compare the demotion of Pluto to the FREAKING HOLOCAUST knocked down what respect I had for you.

 

[AV1611VET]

Because I'm a crusader against techno-blunders and techno-lies, since they are products of a scientific mindset that is leading us into moral decay in these last days.

Read Post 106 again.

You put "a lot" in all capitals.

For you to lose A LOT of respect for me, you must have A LOT of respect for me in the first place.

No, you're Don Quixote, 'crusading' against your own personal problems against science and your own view of 'moral decay'. The 1980's wants their beliefs back.

Or I had little respect for you to begin with and now have, if respect could be shown with numbers, respect for you in the minus figures.

Logic. You don't seem to use it.

Fair enough.

Do you think I'm going to lose any sleep over anyone who loses respect for someone who alludes to the Holocaust, while they say NOTHING about those who allude openly bring up the Crusades, slavery, and infanticide?

There's a word for that, you know.

And it starts with the same letter.

First off, you don't know me from Adam, so you can't say squat about what I think or say to others.

And two, the only reason I'm giving you grief over your comparison of the Holocaust with the demotion of Pluto is just... the sheer lack of respect you have for the former, that you would even think of comparing it to the demotion of Pluto. One was premediated genocide, the other one was nothing of the sort.

All the things you mentioned were and are horrible things (since the latter two do continue today). But to compare the demotion of Pluto, even as an allusion, to the premediated mass murder of 6,000,000 plus people? No, that's just F'ed up beyond all sense.

Silence is golden, isn't it?

I'm sorry you have to lose so much respect for those who compare Christianity with the Crusades,* but that's your choice.

* Or do you? As you said, I don't know you from Adam -- (and I suspect you don't know him either, outside of a platitude).

And on back on my ignore list you go.

Suit yourself.

Just keep in mind that you're overreacting by thinking I compared the vote itself to the Holocaust; while in truth, I was comparing the reaction to the change in the dictionary to the reaction of the world by a country that was committing an act of imperialism.

Connect those dots, evolutionist; since you guys are so good at it.

Better yet, keep me on ignore, so you won't end up looking bad worse.

And you do nothing but digging yourself into a hole with your comments.

Don't forget hanging and pregnant chad.

Resorting to infantile petulant comments instead of producing evidence the vote was rigged is total capitulation.
