Pluto

[pgp_protector]

Why is it so important to you that Pluto be called a planet?

I think it had something to do with numerology.

Number nine, number nine, number nine, number nine -- The Beatles

Let's rephrase it, why do YOU think it is so important that there are nine planets in the Solar System?

17

17

So your real objection with Pluto being demoted has nothing to do with "rigged" voting, new technology, or redefined terms, but because YOU think 9 has a supernatural significance. Lol

You need to get out more.

Nothing is true.

Is that true?

 

[Nithavela]

Is that true?

Dunno lol

 

[quatona]

Just fyi guys, I hear NASA wants to consider making Pluto a planet.

...and you´ll be Ghengis Khan.

 

[Kylie]

Dunno lol

If it is true, then it is a contradiction. If it is false, then some things can be true.

Therefore, some things are not true, but your statement is not one of them.

If the IAU shows anything, it shows that the minority rules.

Maybe we should establish scientific classifications by means of plebiscites.

I knew a dumb remark like this was coming.

I gave three groups: state legislators, dissenting scientists, and the general public.

And you use the general public to make a doosey like this.

Predictable.

AV, I have to wonder why you are so obsessed with the way we classify things rather than the things themselves. It is almost like you are afraid of actually examining things, you prefer instead to control them. You can't, of course, so instead you try to control the way you think about them, as though that gives you some power over them.

You mean like calling a child a "fetus"?

Have you ever read the book:

ROFL
You are not under the impression that anyone takes your threads seriously, are you?

Just the ones who get moderated because they've blown their lid at me.

Well ... and a few others.

And for the record, why do I have almost as many LIKES as you have posts, if no one takes me seriously?

 

[miknik5]

Pluto will be what Pluto will be

With no help from mankind deciding than changing his mind on what Pluto will or will not be

 

[miknik5]

I'm sorry but:

Let it be
Let it be-ee
Let it be
Let it be
(To the tune of the Beatles "Let is it be")

If the IAU shows anything, it shows that the minority rules.

The majority vote was to classify Pluto as a dwarf planet.

Pluto had to go through all this to be relabeled based on what was already visibly apparent?
