Not much anyone can actually do to prevent that....best to make sure family and loved ones are nowhere near folk like that.

Aye, and I think people like the ATB and FBI would have eyes on likely suspects and may even find a reason to raid them on the 19th or 20th.

I know the government, NASA, etc., say all will be OK, but who do you trust the most, the Mayans or the government.

Again, the funny thing is will all breathe a small sigh of relief when the day is over...

Oh just wait till Dec 21st passes.

I'm makeing a prophecy right now!

"Law suits over disaster date floods the Courts around the Globe!
Many people feel they were conned into buying into 'Prepper' items.
Includeing shelters that cost thousands of dollars.
Several people panic and kill innocent persons now faceing charges.
(Shades of 'War of the Worlds')"


That will be $2.00 now.

One thing is certain: It'll be the end of the world for someone, somewhere on earth. Many people. Hopefully for no one that we know.

One thing is for sure, some people are going to make a lot of money out of it.

Must be nice to know one has the festive period off with a degree of certainty.

I have told you this before in some other thread

Why is these people so determined on extern event(meteor, niburu etc) on judgment day

It's annoy me somehow that almost no one have thought of, the possibility that the biggest chance for kill the human race is our self.

We're certainly the most efficient at it, I wonder if you compared the amount of people who have been killed by natural events in human history and compared it to those who have been killed by non-natural events which would be the highest. Particularly when you factor in the two world wars.

as natural as disease and old age death, wild life ect.? Yea, the winner would be very clear.

at maximum a billion, maybe 2 killed by other humans in the history of mankind.

approximately 108 billion people who have ever lived.

Nature wins.

There are many, many natural events that could wipe out all life on earth, or at least decimate large swaths of life. comparitively only 3 options for killing off the human race.

Everyone
kills themselves
Everyone stops reproducing
We bomb ourselves and most of the world into oblivion. then again it's possible to survive in a fallout shelter with greenhouse facilities, though you'd have to be in there for MANY years before the radiation levels became low enough to walk around on the surface. With something like an asteroid impact, you probably wouldn't even be safe in a fallout shelter, unless it was very deep underground. A supervolcanic eruption would cause the world to be covered in ash for a VERY long time, nearly uninhabitable.
