Doesn't it pi ss you off that pluto is not considered a planet anymore?

Question

I for one am outraged!

Thanks so far for your support guys!

Answer 1

I could care less. But I understand that Micky is a bit bent out of shape about it ☺

Still.......... Pluto brought it about itself. Always cutting across Neptunes orbit (almost to the orbit of Uranus). Sooner or later, there's gonna be a big collision and then we'll have --TWO-- asteroid belts ☺

Answer 2

and it was declared by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck LOL
Once again, the crazy scientists of the US have spoken on behalf of the whole scientific world. Most of the world's meteorologists were against the scaling down but the US were adamant and held the majority vote. What pi**es me off more is that the US has caused more wars through drawing lines on maps and creating new countries through the division of old ones. Now that there is no Soviet Union, Yugoslavia is too small to divide again and the US wouldn't dare to attempt to divide China, they are now going for planets. As far as I am concerned, Pluto is still a planet and always will be. It cannot cease to be a planet simply because some mad cap crazy US scientists say so. What next, Mars? Maybe the Earth isn't a planet? Anybody want a job mapping Venus for Google? LOL

Answer 3

The really idoiotic thing is that a bunch of "asronomers" who are, in theory "smart", sat around and even discussed something like this. planet???? no no no! DWARF planet. seems to me that dwarf planet is still a planet. As one astronomer commented:

"I was not allowed to vote because I was not in a room in Prague on Thursday 24th. Of 10,000 astronomers, 4% were in that room - you can't even claim consensus.”

check out the first source for how ridiculous the whole argument is.

The question should be is why these idiots (at least the ones from the US) can freely spend tax money to jet off to Prague and engage in such childish nonsense. They should foot the bill themselves or not go. This is of course a minor waste of tax money but it all adds up.

To answer your question, though, I don't really care what a bunch of twits call something. Pluto was a planet and should remain a planet (just leave off the dwarf). AND to the guy that said he "could care less" it is "COULDN'T care less". Think about it.

Answer 4

Outraged eh? I wonder. No, I don't wonder. I could not care less. What I wonder is why so many Yahoo Answer types are so upset about it. Is it because it was an American discovery 70 some years ago and now has been degraded to a lower status by a lot of astronomers in an international forum? Did they disagree with your schoolteachers? Oh dear, they must be wrong.

If so, look at it this way. The discovery was even more remarkable given the small size of the body.

Answer 5

Yes. I feel sorry for Clyde Tombaugh who discovered Pluto in 1930. I've always loved what I call 'The Purple Planet'.

Answer 6

I was just talking to a friend of mine about how stupid it is. We were talking about this only 3 hours ago. I told him I will never refer to it as anything but planet Pluto.

Answer 7

What really ticks me off is that earth IS considered a planet!!!!!!!! Pluto looks like a planet, probably smells like a planet, and probably tastes like a planet!! To me that makes it a planet. Who cares what THEY call it.

Answer 8

Yep.
Bastards at the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams started this rubbish, now it's law!

Ah! The heresy, the humanity!

Answer 9

yes it does it has been a planet for to long to say it is not.

Answer 10

yes
