Burning question:

I remember having a similar assumption, living in the northern hemisphere as I do, that it just kept getting warmer the farther south one went. I learned otherwise sometime in first grade, I think.

This isn't fundy, its just screamingly American-centric and parachial Ok, did you mean parochial or are you making up words now?
Oh the stupid!
The sad thing guys? I learned this in like 4th grade watching Bill Nye the Science Guy. Strangely, as a 10 year old, I understood it quite well and it makes sense completely. But after all, the sun revolves around us according to the bible!
The South Pole is not really cold, katt, that's just another God-denying evolutionist lie. The South Pole is actually a tropical paradise, with palm trees and lovely beaches. The Evil Atheist Conspiracy awards free two-week vacations to the South Pole for every atheistic baby-killing evolutionist who wins another soul to Satan, so it's booked solid for the next 5 years. If you want to look into the specials available for True Christians who are willing to "look like a fool for Christ," then call our number, 1-800-IMA-RETARD.
I cannot even begin to think how I would start explaining this very, very simple concept to someone with the same mental capacity as yourself. The chewed, frayed corner of the towel my pet rabbit likes to sleep on would grasp this quicker than you, if fact it probably already has...without me needed to say anything.
When I was in grade school, this sort of question would have been readily understood by grade 6.
"Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know."
I'm sure katt burned out some brain cells formulating this burning question...the important thing is, [she] seems to be trying very hard to acquire some real knowledge.
Who knows? Perhaps within a few decades, she can bump her IQ up to, say, 50.
"Mr. Data, what do you make of that?"
"Captain, my initial analysis indicates that the phenomenon is an imploding mass of high-energy stupidity. Preliminary calculations show that the event horizon of the resulting black hole may exceed the diameter of our galaxy."
Riker shot to his feet and fixed his gaze on the viewscreen, "Helm! GET US OUT OF HERE, WARP 9!"
Because Jesus hates penguins...?
Please don't let this one breed.
For the future of humanity, if this stupid gene remains in the gene pool we're all doomed!
1) I just had a lengthy discussion with my cat re this. He's quite adamant in his dismay, because "katt" dares to use a user ID that even obliquely besmirches his species;
2) If a Poe - Best Ever Award.
4) If not - Obviously this Northern Hemisphere-centric idiot has never endured a good old winter in the Southern Climes of Amarillo.
Cold and hot are not necessarily related to North and South. The overall temperature of a location is related mostly to the amount of sunlight it gets. Since the equator gets the most sunlight per area through the least amount of atmosphere, it tends to be hot there. Since you're in the notheren hemisphere, going south TENDS to be hotter, and going north TENDs to be colder.
because rabits have fur dumbass
(a question of this stupidity reqires an equally stupid answer, but i'm not sure i can get my IQ level that low without killing myself)
Wait, what? Are you serious? Please be a Poe, although, with this being RR, I really doubt it is. They really are this stupid.
Since the world is flat, the surface folds over at the equator, and both poles are at the middle, connecting directly to the Big Spindle. It turns out the Spindle is one hell of a heat sink.
Idiot question, more like it.
Most of what is refered to as "the South" is rather "the Middle", close to the equator, which is hot. The North and South Poles are equally long from the sun, and therefore almost equally hot, or cold.
Well, "katt", how do you know it is cold at the south pole? And how do you know that the south pole and the north pole exist, anyway?
Isn't all a member of Rapture Ready needs to know written in the Bible? Did you gain your knowledge of the south pole perhaps from reading some ... demonic evil atheistic muslim satanistic science book??? Oh the horror! You must repent immediately! The south pole does not exist, because it is not mentioned in the bible! Don't ask further questions! To ask questions is SIN!!!
Oh my lord.
This is the class of people on RR.
There needs not be any debate henceforth. All we need to do is look back on this and point out, "Yeah. This was you guys that said this. Look at it and be ashamed."
Debate=officially over.
The matter has been put to rest by one fell, STUNNING swoop of STUPID!
Nobody's this stupid.
Right?
Actually it's really hot at the South Pole.
Come to think of it, no that wasn't the South Pole, it was the Sahara Desert. Silly me.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
