I've always fancied myself a student of eschatology so that whole 2012 Coincidence Theory has fascinated me ...

... but I doubt there's anything to it.

Well between this, the potential of a super eruption in Yellowstone, and the risk of a large rock or comet hitting the earth, not to mention all the other possible major calamities its a wonder I get out of bed in the morning. :DL

As far as I am aware the science behind this is valid and if it did happen at the wrong moment the effects could be catastrophic (our societies are almost entirely dependent on electricity as mentioned in the article). As such I see no reason not to take appropriate precautions to defend against such a possibility.

Great thing though is channels like Discovery are making a mint by making special "documentaries" about such stuff and what could "happen".

Popular media has f'ed up reporting about science for decades and people too lazy to check up on things fall for it every time and parrot the same feces over and over.

Note: comment at the last paragraph of NeonSamurais post, not this article at hand, ahvent actualy bothered to look into this yet.

Big deal. I lived through the Quebec incident... Nothing special.

This stuff has been going on since time started. :sunny: I'm more concerned about rogue asteroids than a hot sunny day farting plasma at us. :O:

We can live with out power. I guess that's the difference between me being raised as a country boy than a city slicker. :DL

I'll sure miss subsim though.. :cry:

The end of what?

The world?

The US?

The (US) dollar?

Democracy?

Capitalism?

The West?

I DO know this thread started out somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Feeling rather heavier about it all here tonight, I must admit.

Nothing has changed, except the names. Would have been Bush's fault a few months ago:DL

It still is Bush's fault. Just ask any Obama supporter.

On the other hand now that we have Obama it doesn't need to be Clinton's fault anymore.

Me, I blame Andrew Jackson.

If I want to know who to blame I, just look into the mirror.

For some reason we see You do it for me in the first line of the US Constituion instead of.....


We the people as it really reads.

The Politicions and big business hand in hand are only doing what We allow them to do whether Right or Wrong.

Belive it or not I did not vote for this administration.

Nor did they ask me before spending out of control crazy like.

I look in the mirror and see a concarned citizen thank you very much.

Goverment for the people by the people... yea thats what its supposed to be.

By the way does using HUGE FONT help make your point hold more weight?
