[RINO Tom]

Maybe select parts, but it should be limited ... not pretending to know enough about things to suggest the areas, though.

 NO.

Way to important for science. Also who would get those mining rights? Like  off, no.

[Frodo]

Absolutely not. 

[DINGO Joe]

During the great Chinese commodity boom, there were plans to mine in some rather inaccessible area of Canada that have all fallen by the wayside.  Those would have been a walk in the park compared to Antarctica.  I've seen scenarios for mining on the moon or asteroids that are more fleshed out than mining in Antarctica.

Voted no, but the question is moot.

[Mr. Reactionary]

I think the people of Antarctica should decide.

[Wells]

No, because it would hurt the environment.

I think the people of Antarctica should decide.

Antarctica has no permanent population.

[NeverAgain]

You are insulting the cast of Happy Feet. As we all know the penguins are strong environmentalists.

I'm evoking Godwin's law because wtf cares?

No. Giving multinational corporations the ability to destroy yet another continent is like giving Poland to Hitler. There can be no compromise in regards to this. Conservatives should be worrying about how their children and grandchildren will deal with climate change much more than the freakin' national debt.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

No, because it would hurt the environment.

Nah, we good. Maybe I'll start caring about climate change when your side starts caring about stop the spread of radical islam throughout the western world.

[Mr. Smith]

Hell no.
