When I was a kid, there was a TV show on TV about dinosaurs(that sitcom), there were other kid related dinosaur shows, there were movies like Jurassic Park, lots of dinosaur toys in general, and school field trips would be to dinosaur museums exhibits, etc.

Now there's none of that on TV or movies, I never hear younger kids talking about it or going on school field trips, etc.

It's like we've stopped caring about it in favor of other stupid stuff, but as a kid the subject always fascinated me.

when i was a kid my mom took me and my sister to the library and i would carry as many Dinosaur books to the check out counter as i could.

the Librarian would look at me like :beli: and tell me that i could only take out 3 books on the same subject at a time :snoop:...i loved and still love Dinosaurs. i can't wait until we clone one of those fukkers.

Because there were lies in the curriculum that are embarrassing. Like, the further you dig, the older the dinosaur bones you'll find. Yet, they've found bones not very deep in the earth. Couple that with the fact they actually manufacture fossils in factories, its not a good look for the industry. I remember this girl in my 1 year of college told me she was going to be an archeologist like Laura Croft. I laughed at her. Now shes living with her mommy and her child.


:what:

You been hanging around creationists or something? This is wrong on so many levels breh

what i am hearing now is that the picture of dino's might be wrong. Think of giant lizards/birds. We even think now dino's had feathers. But it is all guess work form bones.

Kids don't need to use their imagination anymore.

When I was a kid, dinosaurs certainly captivated my imagination. I had some of those Dinowarriors toys. I even had a few Dinosaur Plastic Models that I put together as youth. As a testament to their importance to me as a young boy, the dinosaurs occupied space right next to my PlaMo Gundams and F-15e Stirke eagle, which I treasured. It was prized real estate in my mind for sure. IN my young possession, lay nearly every Dinosaur book that one could buy at places like MacFrugals or other second-hand clearance stores. Books that, of which, laid next to my bed and showed significant signs of daily use.

These days, kids have Videogames and videogame lore to occupy their minds. If I had such Massive and involving games like Skyrim, Fallout 3, WOW, COD4 or Mass effect, to occupy my free-time, I doubt I would have been so involved in PlaMos, Comic books, Dinosaurs or anything else as a kid. Videogames are simply the least costly, and less time consuming way to fulfill a boyhood longing to imagine and fantasize.

Yes, but Mowgli is wrong; Satan actually planted all dinosaurs fossils as part of his scheme to fool us into doubting the Bible's truths concerning the history of the Earth.

Mowglis fukking retarded. This is what happens when you have crazy religious parents who instill their wacky belief system into an innocent childs mind.

The child grows up with a warped creationist perspective lacking the ability to think logically.

shyt is child abuse b and ur parents had absolutely no right to do that to you breh.

Hopefully that shyt will be illegal one day

I'm afraid of what might happen if Mowgli ever started to realize his belief system is fraudulent, he just might have a nervous breakdown.

Maybe it's best that he continues to believe in that BS.

Mowgli sounding like Carl Everett :laugh:

Former MLB player Carl Everett doesn't believe dinosaurs ever existed! - Sports - May 3, 2011 - OMG Facts

This dude was on the anti dinosaur bandwagon for real :skip:
Everett, whose 13-year Major League career ended in 2006 with the Seattle Mariners, was known for his boisterous personality and strong opinions, both on and off the field. The most publicized (and hilarious) of these beliefs was the ‘fact’ that dinosaurs did NOT exist. The reason for his conviction is simple - “Jurassic” Carl is an Apostolic Christian, so he takes every word of the Bible as literal truth.

In a notorious interview back in 2000, C-Rex had this to say: “"God created the sun, the stars, the heavens and the earth, and then made Adam and Eve. The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex." But we’ve seen their fossilized remains...nope, Everett believes those are a man-made hoax. This is also a man who finds the Moon Landing a difficult pill to swallow. However, he does believe THAT can be proven, but dinosaurs are “far-fetched” in his not-so-humble opinion.


This can't be real

:snoop:

Jurassic Park was amazing, still is IMO...only fed into the wild imagination as a kid of what they were like back in the gap

...but to answer the question, I don't know. Maybe religion/creationism
