Okay, so... Pluto...is NOT a planet anymore. That stinks. Instead we get an asteroid and a moon and an other...thing??? I hate to say it, but not only has the world gone crazy, the universe has followed.
Pluto: Dwarf planet? C'mon, at least get a better name. Beter yet, continue to be a planet. Xena: Other planet...new planet? That's a cool name, and I guess it'd be cool for a tenth planet. Ceres: ASTEROID? Peoples, please, an asteroid is an ASTEROID! Charon: A moon. Peoples, please, a moon is a MOON! Saturn has tons of moons and they are huge but have they ever said "Huhuh I guess we'll kick Pluto out and piut this random moon as our ninth planet *guffaw guffaw*"? No, cause these idiots "redifined" a planet and now they put random moons in?
PLUTO AND XENA! PLUTO AND XENA!

I hate to be the one to say it, but if you are hearing planets talk, you should probably seek medical attention. Why does it stink that Pluto is not a planet anymore? It was just another kuiper belt object. If you want to count pluto as a planet, than there will be an uncountable amount of planets.

Because, Calamitas, or Descartes, Pluto was already a planet. It was already defined a planet. It was a part of the nine planets we all grew up with. That's why I'm iffy about Xena, and when did I say I hear planets talk? I said idiots (as in scientists) redifined, not planets. And when I say "they" I mean as every other person uses "they" as they don't know the person or people they are describing as they.

the problem I have with this definition is that it wasn't meant to define a planet, it was meant to kick out pluto.
The criteria that kicked pluto out says a planet must have "cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit". Wich meanst that "he largest objects in the Solar System will either aggregate material in their path or fling it out of the way with a gravitational swipe." Pluto was demoted because its orbit overlaps with Neptunes. Under this new definition we should be down to 4 planets. Why? Because Earth and Mars orbit with 10,000 near-planet asteroids. Jupiter is accompanied by 100,000 Trojan asteroids in it's orbit. And if Neptune had cleared its zone, Pluto wouldn't be there.
The other problem I have is that only 400 of the IAU members voted. (out of 10,000)

If we didn't update things, we would still think the world is flat.

Indeed Descartes.
I think that scientists are mad. Thank God I am never going to become one. I want Pluto to be a planet, because then they are going to have to make up a new name for the dog from Disney. I think that Pluto is still a planet. I really liked the name of the planet as well as how it was isolated than all of the other planets. Why don't they get rid of Uranus instead!

I did a project on Xena once, I got pretty attached to it. My speech about making Xena a planet was basically just stating that if Pluto was a planet then Xena should be too. Yeah, I don't really mind that Pluto isn't a planet anymore, I don't think I ever really liked it. Neptune's just better and now it gets to be the last one that everyone remembers.

I liked Pluto and I think it's sad they have suddenly demoted it. My sister's devastated cos' it was her favourite planet.

I was sad about Pluto at first, but today my new hyperactive physics teacher from New Jersey managed to convince me otherwise. Sorry, Pluto. It had to be done.
