I just love those people

I presume you all have heard of this coming movie 2012?
I also presume that most of you know about this phenomenon 2012?

I have red page up and down, thousands of times, about this 2012.

I have come to this conclusion
one conspiracy, after it's other, is trying to be as terrifying as possible

So if one of those should be right in their prediction...that it is the end of the world, as we know it...what can we do then?

Not a s**t

I'm not concern at all, if it happens, it happens

But me my self have this believe

The world will still be there, in the morning on the 22th of december

So somehow, I just love those guys/girls who pick something from the bible and something from an another book and so on, but just those things that make his or her conspiraty trustworthy as possible.

Did anybody stop to consider the possibility that maybe the guy making the Mayan calender got tied and just stopped once he got to December 22, 2012? And maybe he just made up some BS reason why he stopped?

The 2012 prophesy is based on a misunderstanding of the significance of the Mayan long count calendar. No expert on Mayan history that I have ever read of attributes any world ending significance to 2012 based on the calendar. Maybe a good day to have a huge party if you were Mayan but nothing else.

However, the best response I would give to people who suggest that the Mayans predicted an apocalypse in 2012 is...

If you really believe that the Mayans had it right on, the best that we could do is to round up a large number of people, march them up a big pyramid and tear out their hearts to offer it to the Gods in order to stave off the disaster. I suggest we start with the people who keep going on about the 2012 disaster myth.

The sad thing is I have a lot of friends and co-workers who get taken in by this nonsense. I think we're in for the biggest hysteria bubble since Y2K--and worse for having zero basis in actual science.

2013, get here already, so the fringe "scientists" and balloon boy losers can move the doomsday goalposts to 20xx or whatever...

antikristuseke · 11-01-09, 09:19 PM

So far doomsdays prophecies do not really have a good track record when it comes to accuracy, I am not worried.

Sounds like global warming

Y2K was the biggest economic scam ever... So many have profited from this bull.

I know at that time I worked for a lucrative business.

Y2K was a cash cow...

I think I saw that episode of the reimagined "Twilight Zone"...

After 2012 comes and goes...

... I wonder what they/someone will set as the next date for the 'end of the world.'

Seems like that we get a new set of dates for the apocalypse every ten years or so.

Funnier still, "If you guess at the answer often enough... sooner or later you will be correct!"

My guess is that if we haven't already pushed the environment past its 'tipping point of no return' we'll eventually destroy the atmosphere enough to make the damage irreverseable... and life here will grind to a halt with a long-slow whimper over many years.

No supernatural involvement or catastrophic event is even required. We're doing a fine job of wrecking the planet without any dramatic assistance.

Nostradamus was stoned so I would not be surprised if it turns out the Mayans were on something aswell..

On Shrooms or at least Salvia? Yeah, could be.
