s33.postimg.org...
and i cant really believe it was an accident since it happened twice in a row, its just not possible. so i would advice you to not post like that cause well, it hurts the thread and diminishes your other valid and intelligent comments.
its just a heads up and a friendly warning, i dont mean to pick on you at all. just saying its not very wise. < 3

One, they are reacting to their own fear and discomfort over the issue and are just in extreme denial and thus lashing out at others or two, they are deliberately pushing buttons and baiting us to gauge our reaction or three, they are actively trying to get any conversation about this and possibly related subject matter closed down.
Four, because it's safe and easy to get their debunker kick, plus it is an ongoing subject, so a constant feeding source.
This seems the most likely one.
I don't have the feeling that the ME thing is trying to be covered up.

What physical evidence do you have? Hint: Memories are not physical evidence.

Why would they call it Arctica? It's the Arctic and the other side of the earth is the Antarctic. That is why the continent down there is called Antarctica.
The Arctic and the Antarctic are polar regions. Antarctica is the land mass in the Antarctic.
why they would refer to a continent in the Arctic as "Arctica"

Wait. Did you seriously just ask me why they would refer to a continent in the Arctic as "Arctica" while also pointing out that the land mass in the Antarctic, completely opposite it is called "Antarctica"? Did that actually happen just now? Did anyone else see this?

So now you're a victim? Would the ME group fall under SJW protection?

There's no continent (land mass) in the Arctic. That's why there is no "arctica".
There is a continent at the Antarctic. That's why there is an "Antarctica".

Right, I get that's not the case currently. But he asked me why they would call it that...a hypothetical in his case because he isn't experiencing the ME...and then proceeded to answer his own question as basis for asking it. That's what I was expressing incredulity about. Still am, actually.

But if you recall it as being called "arctica" that would mean there would have had to have been a land mass under the ice. If there was a land mass under the ice, it would mess up all know extrapolations of how the planet looked millions to billions of years ago.

No, like I said earlier, it was not believed to have an underlying land mass. It was a continent entirely made of ice. It was supposed to be uninhabitable. Not billions of years ago either...this was a social studies class.
