Chicken Little says December 21st 2012 is the end of time as man knows it
 
Just a simple yea or nay ...

Will the world experience anything strange happening next December?

The chicken littles are all saying this is the big one, but I remember these same people in the y2k era.

A myth, a waste of time, way to learn another lesson???

I say "Nay"

Platapus 12-05-11 08:16 PM

13 April 2012 is the date to worry about.

That's the date of the US release of the new Three Stooges Movie. :wah:

Life just won't be worth living after that. :nope:

2012? Things might well happen, we could see some hefty natural activity and solar activity, probably yet another war in the Middle East, more economic failings and the fun and games of the US elections.

I agree with Platapus on that.

How come our elections are such a world spectacle?

No idea, probably due to the amount of internet that comes from the US and the amount of drama that usually unfolds on internet forums around the time of the elections. :03:

No vote. Anybody who believes this is a waste of DNA.

All I can say is that the world would be a far better place if all the Apocalypse groupies decided to kill themselves on the night of the 20th.

Danke. I enjoy the muckraking but for all the wrong reasons.

Sailor Steve 12-05-11 09:12 PM

Since I have no way of seeing the future myself, and there have been thousands of predictions that have all failed, I probably should have voted no. On the other hand I don't trust my own judgement either, so Wait And See it is.

I'm not holding my breath though.

Jimbuna 12-06-11 06:21 AM

I'll wait and see also but should have voted Nay.

Skybird 12-06-11 06:30 AM

I don't prepare for the end of the world. Just imagine you take all that effort, and then nothing happens and you did it all in vein. No-no, not with me.

Skybird 12-06-11 06:33 AM

What...? Of 7 voters so far, only 2 - one of them me - have voted "No", but 5 have voted "I don't know"...????

That is, in principle, a disgrace.

Reece 12-06-11 06:49 AM

Yes we're all gonna die a horrible death!:yep:

JU_88 12-06-11 06:54 AM

People are always coming up with dates for the 'end of the world' through various doomsday scenarios. But define 'the end' what is that? the total destruction fo the planet and all life on it? That would actually be very difficult for man to achieve.

A nuclear war would destroy major cities and kill billions and cause major eviromental damage, it would be the end of life as we know it, BUT not the end of the world, many people would still survive, life on earth would still go on.
The only other threats can be maybe a deadly airborne virus or something from out of space.
However- there is no way to prepare for the end of the world, what you going to do exactly? live the rest of your life in a bunker with a lifes supply of tinned food?
Whats the point in that? death might actually be the better option here.

The so called 'end of the world' can happen anytime between tomorrow and a ten thousand years and beyond, I dont see why people are so keen to predict it, other than being able to say 'I told you so' if they are right (asuuming they survive - and have other survivors to say it to.)

The only way I see the Human race surving indefinatly is by locating other habitable planets in the Universe and finding a way to travel / migrate to them. without that mandkinds 'time' is most certainly limited, we havent taken care of mother earth very well and she can only support our unsustainable lives of mass reproduction, destruction, consumption, waste and polution.... for so long.

the_tyrant 12-06-11 06:55 AM

You see skybird, I voted yes
Why?

because December 2012 is when I get my full drivers licence
That is when I can drive on the road alone, by my self

All constraints of sanity provided by my dad or driving instructor goes out the window

You'd all better watch out! The Tyrant is coming on a world tour, When you see a path of death and destruction in your local city, you know its me!:yeah:
