Pluto is no longer considered a planet - Page 3

hmm i wonder how this will affect things like astrology??

GuidoHunter · 08-27-2006, 03:03 PM

It won't. Astrologists will make something up, though. Hell, it was around long before the three outer planets had even been discovered.

In short: how do you defend bull****? With more bull****.

IT WON'T AFFECT ANYTHING AT ALL.

CHANGING A CLASSIFICATION DOESN'T DO ANYTHING BUT CHANGE THE WAY HUMANS THINK ABOUT THE THING. IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE THING AT ALL.

BASICALLY, IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL.

FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IF WE DECIDED TO STOP CALLING THE COLOR RED "RED" AND INSTEAD START TO CALL IT "BLUE." WOULD THIS MAKE THINGS WHICH USED TO LOOK "RED" LOOK "BLUE" THEN? NO, IT WOULDN'T. THE THING WOULD STILL LOOK THE SAME.

REALLY, YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT CHANGES IN THE SUBJECTIVE MINDS OF HUMANS WHICH REALLY DON'T MATTER AND YOU'RE IGNORING THE FACT THAT OBJECTIVELY, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

ps caps rofl

EDIT: guido you poo poo head... sneaking your post in before mine

Basically everyone who was born under Pluto will cease to exist.

Pluto never gets the recognitionit deserves

I was told about this by a friend. Honestly, I don't really care.

This should be the source of really bad jokes, not great debates.

Astrologers don't believe in Astronomy.

Are you in 4th grade or something?

Last I checked, basic planets of the solar system isn't taught in high school or middle school.

Oh wow, I didn't know teachers weren't allowed to mention the names of the planets after the 4th grade. I am totally going to tell my Astronomy professor about that tomorrow.

GuidoHunter · 08-27-2006, 11:14 PM

Not gonna lie, though, jewp, I don't ever recall the planets being mentioned by a teacher during all of high school.

Well, not in high school, but definately in Middle School. At least Californian public schools are required to teach astronomy in the 6th grade.

My form of this was in a self-selected "class" that was taught every Friday for like 2 hours. I don't think it was as high on the curriculum as it should have been.

**stretchypanda** · 08-28-2006, 07:25 AM

Regardless of when you stopped learning planets, animefreak is lying.

Any science teacher would be all over this and would want to be the first to tell his/her students.

Also, don't attempt to make your teacher look like an idiot. A) Your teacher does not make enough money to put up with morons like you, but s/he does it anyway. B) Your teacher is undoubtedly smarter than you.

msbrunnettemickey · 08-28-2006, 08:50 AM

They teach atronomy in like... 7th grade.

The last time i heard about any planets was actually middle school.

I had math teachers that I taught... They were really old people that the school hired for lack of anyone better.

I learned about the planets before I was even in school from some science books. They're sitting on a bookcase in this room right now too.
