Dinosaurs

[DreadConches]

Do you believe in dinosaurs?

[MrGuyUK]

just out of curiousity, what do you expect these results to look like?

[DreadConches]

I expect the results to look like a chart depicting the distribution of cannabis.com users beliefs regarding dinosaurs, hopefully "yes."

I was just wondering because recently I have come across many people who think that dinosaurs are fake and that dinosaurs are a hoax.

[McLeodGanja]

Some of the things that people believe in in here are a lot more outlandish than dinosaurs.

[PackAnotherBowl]

Of course I do...look at all the scientific evidence.

[LaZ]

Lol. This is such a random thread. If you don't believe in dinosaurs, I suggest you stop by your local museum or just re-take 3rd grade science.

[DreadConches]

It most definitely seems insane to me that people could believe dinosaurs are fake, but some people do.

[dragonrider]

I believe that fosilized dinosaurs are real, but most of the living dinosaurs that you run into these days are fake --- really just big lizards posing as dinosaurs in order to look cool, and a few dragons who are just trying to fly under the radar.

[Metaphor]

i know for a fact they do, i was there with jesus when he punched a trex in the nose.

[happiestmferoutthere]

I believe in dinosaurs, but I don't believe everything I read about them. They've already told us to disregard what we've learned in the 60's and 70's about them.
Maybe in 20 more years we'll have to "relearn" it again. Who knows. I agree though- there is too much scientific proof to say they don't exist,.

[birdgirl73]

I certainly believe in dinosaurs. I believe in them far more than I believe in any religion. I can see dinosaur relics with my own eyes and know what era they date from thanks to carbon dating, which is incredibly reliable. I can't fathom how anyone couldn't believe, but, then, I shouldn't be so surprised. Environmental and climatological scientists have proven, over and over, that we're in the midst of global climate change with changes in ocean levels, temperature and weather patterns, holes in our ozone layer, higher UV indices, melting polar ice caps, and much much more. But there are still dipsticks who deny the existence of global climate change (or warming).

Do you believe in dinosaurs?

No i dont. They are all liars... :D

[Dream of the iris]

All I know is, I gets high with dinosaurs.

I used to love that TV show "Dinosaurs".
Gotta love the baby!

ok who the hell voted no on the pole?

I'm with you till we get to global warming , it isn't that I don't believe in climate change I just don't believe man has such an impact.

The climate has changed many times before man had machinery or even before man existed , ice ages and the like are all part of the natural order.

The planet is in a constant state of change and evolving in it's own way.

[Psycho4Bud]

Used to have a buddy in Iowa that was a hard core Chriistiian.....since it went against his religious beliefs he used to say that you can chisel anything out of rock including fake dinasaurs. LOL..besides that he was pretty level headed.

As for the Global Warming scare.....watch out for those that don't practice what they preach and make big dollars off those that listen.

Have a good one!:jointsmile:

[Daveracer]

Is that the show where the baby dinosaur used to say "NOT DA MOMMA!" LOL

[smokestoomuch]

stupid question really!

We know that dinosaurs have roamed our planet and became extinct around 65 million years ago, the fossils speak for themselves! whr have u been?

A better question would be: Whats your theory on how the world started, evolution, big bang etc etc etc, or do you believe in dragons?

this thread makes feel stupid for some reason lol

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :jointsmile:

This is exactly the kind of thing the dinosaurs used to say!

But on a more serious note, you are right that natural climate change has always occured and will continue to occur. However, there is geologic evidence that past natural changes in the climate coincided with natural changes in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Human beings are responsible for doubling the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere --- that part is proven, and even scientists who do not agree that global warming is occurring agree that it is humans who have increased the CO2 concentration. Most climate scientists think that the increased CO2 will result in a dramatic climate change, and because the CO2 concentration has changed more rapidly than ever seen in the geologic record, many think the climate change will occur suddenly and chaoticly. Fossil evidence shows that climate changes also coincide with increased rates of extinctions. So if sudden and dramatic climate change does occur, we should expect a lot of species to not be able to survive.

It's hard to believe that human beings are so significant to be able to permanently change all the weather on the entire planet, but if you accept the well-proven fact that we have already changed the atmospheric composition, you should be able to extrapolate that to the possibility that the climate will change as a result. Very few reputable scientists doubt it.

I think that human beings will probably survive climate change, but it is not guaranteed. We may end up as bones in the ground, and the next intelligent beings to inhabit this planet may someday ask, "Do you believe in humans?"

SO FUCKIN TRUE!!! but its not gonna happen tomorrow so i think we will be okay
oh yeh it was global cooling not global warming ice ages and all that.

You know why the dinosaurs died of thhe global cooling coz they didnt have any fur and died out they could'nt adapt but we can, no-one knows for sure but i say as humans we have adapted to so many different changes i think we will survive!!

keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :rastasmoke:

[Reefer Rogue]

Yes i believe they existed. Dinosaur means terrible lizard.

[M1K3]

Some people still think that the earth is a flat disk resting on the back of a giant tortoise.

I agree with you. I believe the world is getting warmer, therefore, global warmning is real.

I dont beleive us humans have anything to do with it though. I think it's something else our Governments can scare us with. Extort more taxes - higher fuel prices, charging us for the road we use, etc etc.

I encourage everyone to spay deoderant in the air and rev your engines!

[dragonrider]

If the world gets warm enough, maybe dinosaurs will come back.

[domluvz2toke]

On the entire global warming thing lets get over this, go green save the earth bullshit. If it was really that bad dont you think the slogan would be lets save ourselves, all the carbon monoxide we're breathing in cant be too good.

Remember a world long long ago, when there was no manufacturing powerplants, no cities, no buses, no cars, hell barely even any people. What was here before then? a shit load of trees. GUESS WHAT, there was lightning back then believe it or not. What happens when 4 million acres of trees burn and there is not one fire fighter to put them out. They keep burning and burning, and what do trees put off when they burn? Yep that bad stuff we are all worried about. Now you may argue and say oh bullshit dom, there are so many people with so many cars, so much carbon comes out of them. Think about how many wildfires were burning "out of control" daily back then.

just my .02:thumbsup:

well alaska was a tropical region a long ass time ago, the sun used to rise in the north and set in the south.
the earth is contstantly turning in every direction, global warming is slightly affected by co2 but a 1 degree tilt on the axis could cause the same effects, check it out.

and yes dinosaurs where real, i own one, a turtle!

[midlifecrisis]

Dinosaurs were real!

People are fake!

[halfassedjediknight]

the only people who dont believe in dinosaurs are bible thumping evangelists. i thought the religious types were the ones with an open mind. i dunno im not one to argue with religon, never researched it and never cared much for it.

I apologize for playing into the thread going off course, but every time I see a misunderstanding about global warming and CO2, I can't prevent myself from jumping in:

I agree, the slogan should be about saving ourselves. But the danger to ourselves is not that we will somehow be poisoned by the CO2 we add to the air (however, we do poison ourselves with other pollution compounds that come out of burning fossil fuels). The biggest danger to us is the disruption of the water cycles, rainfalll patterns, and other weather that we rely on for our food sources. Most of us are very disconnected from where our food comes from, but if you have ever gardened or farmed anything (outside, not under lights or using hydroponics!), then you understand a bit about how weather factors affect the productivity of plants. Some years you do great and others, the weather kills off your crops, and the difference between a good year and a bad one is not that big. We need to be concerned about what will happen to our food supply if our climate and weather change unpredictably. That is just one problem we need to worry about --- the others have to do with our water supplies, flooding, disease, refugee problems, and possibly war if things get desparate.

So, yes, it is about saving ourselves and our children. I don't worry at all about the planet in general. Life will go on and the planet will endure, no matter what we do to it. I worry about lots of people dying and our society falling apart.

Regarding the trees and the forest fires: Yes, forest fires do contribute CO2 to the atmosphere, as does the normal decomposition of dead plants and animals. In these cases, a new forest or plant takes the place of the decayed or burnt one, and it re-absorbes the CO2 from the atmosphere. Forests grow back after being burned, and they keep the amount of CO2 before and after the fire relatively the same. It is called the CO2 cycle. The difference between a forest fire and burning fossil fuels is that fossil fuels are not part of the normal CO2 cycle. Oil and coal are mined from under ground and when they are burnt, the carbon is put up into the atmosphere. CO2 levels are going up --- that is not in dispute by anyone. And the reason CO2 levels are going up is that plants and the normal CO2 cycle cannot deal with the carbon we are mining from underground and putting up into the air.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program: Dinosaurs!

[dragonrider]

Looks like so far 43 think dinosaurs are real, one ding-dong does not think dinosaurs are real but didn't seem to post a comment, and there is one independent voter who does not care if dinosaurs are real and will probably vote for McCain.

So early polling results indicate that the voters are leaning toward dinosaurs, but it's still too early to call this election! Some elderly Florida voters may have been confused by the ballot and may have accidentally voted for dinosaurs when they thought they were voting for Fred Thompson, who looks a lot like a dinosaur. We'll just have to wait for the polls to close then fight it out in the courts and eventually let the Supreme court decide if dinosaurs win or not.

[DreadConches]

Shit, thanks for pointing that out dragonrider. I meant to put Fred Thompson as the third choice, not "Don't Care."

Some people still think that the earth is a flat disk resting on the back of a giant tortoise.

Too many Pratchett novels in a row might lead you to think that.

What's to believe? I have two small, omnivorous dinosaurs in the back yard. Great for cleaning up scraps and the eggs are yummy. :hippy:
