charles, just stop. If you cannot form anything into coherent refutations of a topic and have to resort to a children's game of insults to make yourself feel better, just go ahead and remain quiet.
Next I give you charles' dance of being angry at me and trying to make himself feel better. Go ahead charles you can dance now, or be silent, your choice.
Mikey dont make threats. Thats just being plain silly ,when you dont now how ferocious a person may become. If Aliveandkicking is going to dish it out .Then whats good for the goose is good for the gander.
In what way was that a threat? Do you have a reading comprehension problem also? I told you to stop just jumping in with the child like attitude of throwing insults around. Are you that deluded to think that you are even important enough for me to waste my energy on? I admit, I got a little carried away a week or so ago during the whole racist stuff going on, and I took a few days off to clear my head.
You however are nothing more than an insignificant moron who thinks he can throw out insults and not get called out on it.
So if you felt threatened for that comment, I shudder to think what you would do if I actually did decide to screw with you much. You must be very insecure to think that that was a threat. You are so predictable that it doesn't even rate as fun honestly. Same shit, different response. So lets try to do something productive and add to the conversation.
I have a question, so in this article, I am guessing they are referring to the first tourist because no one usually goes to Antarctica other than for work or research purposes. Rather it really isn't a big tourist destination. Some people go to do research, so go to maintain the bases used for research, some go to supply those bases, but these are actual tour guides that you can book just to go and not have another purpose?
The problem with the whole its some random ice desert elsewhere and not the south pole makes little sense due to a few factors.
First the place you leave from to get there, the length of time to make that trip, hence the distance from that origin to the destination.
Second the fact that during the Southern hemisphere's summer the sun would be above the horizon in some parts of Antarctica 24 hours a day. Knowing that you didn't time warp from the day you left to 6 months in the future in the North pole area, and didn't time warp back at the end of the tour (people are pretty attentive to what day it is normally, at least what week it is). They leave on a tour of Antarctica, they plan it for a certain time frame, and they return at the end usually pretty damn close to when they expected to be back. So how do we explain the midnight sun in Antarctica when its dark in the North pole areas at the same time?
Third people paying this much money, which is a lot for the average person, would definitely notice irregularities. If you have ever paid to go on a trip, I am sure if you are told it will be 3 hours to reach your destination, you will be watching the time. If you are told you are traveling a certain direction, there will be a few intelligent people watching things like what direction the sun is and what apparent direction you are traveling. If you have never been to this place, and you paid a good deal of money to go, I would bet you would be watching out the window and doing some sightseeing.
People in general are inquisitive and many are distrusting. So especially on some sort of sightseeing tour to a place where not many people have gone, I am sure they will be more alert and attentive. It is a bit dangerous also. Who is gonna save your ass if your plane crashes halfway between the South pole and the base you left from on the coastline. Who is gonna save your ass if you crash into the ocean between the orgin and the base on the coast. I'm relatively positive there would be quite a few people alert and attentive due to that alone.
