I'm getting sick and tired of dinosaurs being forced on our children

[CADministry]

I'm really concerned about dinosaurs, and I think something needs to be done. The science behind them is pretty flimsy, and I for one do not want my children being taught lies. Did you know that nobody had even heard of dinosaurs before the 1800s, when they were invented by curio-hungry Victorians?

Charles Darwin's later theory of evolution entirely disproved dinosaurs, yet the dinosaur lie was twisted and adapted to try to make it fit. Any proper look at the facts will reveal that dinosaurs simply never existed.

Aside from the educational aspect, dinosaurs are a very bad example for children. At my children's school, several children were left in tears after one of their classmates (who had evidently been exposed to dinosaurs), became bestially-minded and ran around the classroom roaring and pretending to be a dinosaur. Then he bit three children on the face. One poor girl has been left with a severely dented nose and the whole class was left traumatised by this horrible display.

Nothing about dinosaurs is suitable for children, from their total lack of family values through to their non-existence from any serious scientific point of view.

Recently my sister foolishly gave my two youngest some dinosaurs toys for Christmas. After telling her to get out of my house I burnt the dinosaurs. My children were delighted because they know that dinosaurs are evil. I am fortunate that my family has been very supportive, and has disowned my children's former aunt.

Please, do what you can to get dinosaurs taken off the curriculum. Our school has been recently presented with a 214-signature petition, and following that and our recent protest the headmaster has said that he will take it the governors. We are lucky that he is so sympathetic to our cause, but I fear that others may not be.

If you would like to lend your support to our campaign, we have a Facebook group where we spread facts and research about the dinosaur myth. Hope to see you there! :-)

What a scientific fact endorsed by actual real scientists? Or are they pretend too?

Is this hully in the most elaborate spoof ever? :o

And evolution, which you believe, shows that SOME creatures were larger. Some, were as the size they still are now. The LARGER creatures became extinct. The smaller ones, like we see today, survived, adapted to climate etc. They didn't start small, grow big, then grow small. That's just made up.

Wait a minute, just read MN's comment. This thread was for real?! An OP actually wrote this seriously?!

I think I might be a mermaid. I hope I'm included in OP's Ok list like fairies and elves. And umm, dinosaurs birds.

And trilobites. They also went poof. Bet they were crap on family values too.

night dino friends will.be back in the morning to giggle some more at the randomness of this thread

Who knew "One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing" was way way way closer to the truth than we all realised, eh?

Small point of fact, veni, - not carbon dating for dinosaurs, half-life of C14 isn't long enough to date something that old, they have to use other appropriate methods.

Lweji, please stop making assumption. Trilobites are not dinosaurs.

In fact, one of our members is working on a list of things that are not dinosaurs to hand out to people who say "But what about [insert thing that isn't a dinosaur]?"

It's quite a long list so he hasn't finished yet.

But why accept other extinct creatures but not lovely dinosaurs?

You haven't fully explained that yet.

I can help with that Lurking

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

See-moa. Pterosaur. Vair different. Difficult to confuse.
Pee-wee Herman and his opinion.

This is making my head hurt, ClockwiseCat, because generally the spoof format is to start off straight-faced and then feed more and more ridiculousness until everyone has rumbled you except the odd non RTFT-er.

But this started off ridiculous; 'severely dented nose', 'bestially-minded', and surely no-one who has read any of the stuff about loving and forgiving in the bible would disown their own sister over a toy - but now the OP seems to be attempting to seriously argue the point?

Anyway, I feel better for knowing that the reason children become violent is simply down to dinosaurs, as opposed to parenting, behavioural difficulties, lack of social reasoning etc. I shall petition the HT immediately.

You could hardly confuse a trilobite with a dinosaur, btw.

Are they actually writing lists of things that are not dinosaurs?

Would they like some help?

Bacteria
Viruses
Protozoa
Fungi
Arthropods
Molluscs
Mammals
Amphibians
Plants

So it's strictly dinosaurs only which you want to ban from schools? Can we keep ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs?

How about Christians Against Violence? Dino inspired or not. That might be a happier experience.

It's got to be a spoof, Dr Carla doesn't exist, even if you ditch the 'Dr' bit and throw 'dinosaur' in for good luck :(

It is fucking hilarious though. And Derek, you're a legend.

I am the proud possessor of many pairs of pristine shoes Honey.

But it's all fret fret fret here tonight. Worry worry worry. I feel real. All the evidence is that I'm real. There is 'me' detritus all over the house. But there is a book that doesn't include me. Is that proof I don't exist??? Oh my oh my it's all so head-wrecking upsetting.

so Victorian era began in the 4th century?

(I'm also slightly concerned that it might be a complex double bluff by a Christian, who will turn around tomorrow morning and say, 'DO YOU REALLY THINK WE ARE THAT STUPID?!' and I will feel bad. For a fleeting moment.)

Lweji, I think my DCs could happily spend an entire morning writing down things that are not dinosaurs. And if they drew pictures too, they would be quiet for hours
