Pointless arguments!

Don't post a topic if you intend to do the very same thing you accuse others of doing to you. Every post in this topic has been relevant in one form or another to the discussion.

No. What I'm finding pointless is that's i see people go on here and leave here angry. (There are three other people on here i know). All of 'em always get of the computer angry because some Moderator other person said something crappy about there idea. This is supposed to be a "Kid Friendly website" and all i see on here are arguments, not common reasoning. Of course, I'm no better, but I've been slowing down. I'm not saying the argument that you guys have in general with this general argument right now is completely pointless, but what are you trying to achieve in the end on this Kid "friendly" website with an argument?

I've been here for only two month and i know by now not to hold your ground in a "pointless argument." That's what i meant, not your argument but arguments in general on this web.

Humans obviously made his name but who in the movie do you thing, if Balto was an outcast, which he wasn't in real life.
Sorry i made it big Mightybalto 1925, but it ain't off topic anymore.

It is off topic, Lakota. The top part at least.

I believe the reason why your getting realistic answers, and not un-realistic answers, is because most people here are older and don't live in fantasy world anymore. I'm not insulting you, I'm just stating a fact.

In my opinion Rosy gave Balto his name.

It was and now it's not. I ended the post with the topic back on topic. and you are pulling it off topic once again, with your "this is off topic" Lakota. When It's not. Your pulling it off topic... and once again, have to repeat myself, get pulled into it once again, but you said half-off-topic so i'll give you credit. I just had to make myself clear to what i said earlier.

Balto was a Siberian husky owned by Gunner Kaasen, who completed the last leg of the journey from Nenana to Nome to deliver a case of diptheria antitoxin when it was not possible to do by boat, train, or air craft. Kaasen was only going to travel a distance of about 25 miles, but when he arrived to pass on the case of serum the next man in the relay was not available, so he pushed on. He and his dogs traveled twice the distance expected of ANY dog team over terrain and in weather so inhospitable that at least once the serum was nearly lost.

In reality, though, the unsung heroes of Nome were Leonard Seppala and his lead dog Togo. The diphtheria syrum sent out of Anchorage could only make it as far as Nenana, which was arguably several days away by sled. Seppala was the first to carry the serum, leaving the city of Nenana and carrying the serum 91 miles. In all, the trail from Nenana to Nome was over 600 miles, and the serum was delivered by relay teams in about 27 hours, rather than several days as most feared it would take. Today this feat is commemorated with the Iditarod race.
Now that's reality, let's talk fantasy since were in the animated Balto area.

Several people commented on the fictional Balto's naming...their best guesses. Because there IS no official answer. That is the bottom line here.

I wonder what did Samuel do to get his name to get a sled dog to be named after him.

We've explained that. He accompanied a very famous Norwegian explorer on a trip to and across Greenland. To other Norwegians, like Leonhard Seppala, that was a worthy accomplishment.

Thank you.

That particular part of this topic, yes. Actually, from where I'm standing, we seem to have resolved all aspects of the topic.
