Guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Do you think the world's going to end 2012? I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 akaslickster Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Well I voted no. After all of these years I've been around, I must have heard this rumor a few dozen times. Sounds like the National Enquirer. I would suggest not to worry because if it does end, you worried all for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 They said the world would end in Y2K, but.. it didn't and were still here. I honestly don't understand why people would argue for '2012.' If you really believe do in it, why would you want to waste your 'remaining' years stressing over the matter. I mean trying to convince others that world will end in 2012 won't benefit you whatsoever if the world is going to end anyways. At least ride it out so you can see how wrong you were and avoid killing yourself beforehand. Dying quick and painless to avoid the end of all humanity will just be tomorrow's highlights on the news, "Crazy man straps himself to bomb and..and dies? (would've never guessed)" or I'd rather prefer the "Man kills his whole family and dog in hopes of 'saving' their lives" His defense was that he ran out of bullets, he's being let go on the charge of insanity. Now wouldn't you look to stupid? Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I'm surely not lucky enough to have the world end so soon...I'll certainly have to live a full lifetime of this hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 grey cells Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sorry I was just posting in a lighter vein minus the smilies. But seriously why shouldn't we consider the Mayans' predictions seriously. Their calender ends on Dec. 22, 2012. So it's logical from their point of view to say that the world ends on that particular day, the Mayans' belief. We cannot disrepute their claims based on no proof whatsoever! I am not saying the Mayans are right, but what's to say they aren't right? Not much of an argument, you might say, but time and again the unbelievable has happened. Sorry I haven't read the entire thread, so I could be repeating somebody. What about Nostradamus' predictions? I personally thought his prophecies sounded vague(I am not anywhere near an expert on him), but his prophecies made interesting reading and if his prophecies have been interpreted right, by 2020, one of the countries in the Indian sub-continent will become the new superpower! Now, don't pounce on that statement, I am not saying it is 100% true, but at least it indicates that the world will not end in 2012. See the positive side! And it could only be the end of a key part of the Mayan civilization in 2012, that makes more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 unreality Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 from what I can tell, the Mayan calendar does not end in 2012, but rather a very large time period of it does. For the Mayans this wasn't an apocalyptic prophecy but it would've been a huge festival (if they lived to 2012) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_calendar http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/2007-...maya-2012_n.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8yMXINOh8U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superpower of what? If he was referring to cricket, then it's already happened!!! I gotta build a bomb shelter! Seriously though, what makes they Mayan calendar any more reliable than Nostradamus or any other method of prognostication? These types of things are repeatedly proved right and wrong based on interpretation. The only real answer is "time will tell." In the mean time, I've got more important things to worry about.

0 Prof. Templeton Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I think the Mayans just didn't get around to making the next installment for their calander. "Hey Tlacolotl, are you gonna work on that calander or what?" "I thought I'd start it next year, besides our once great civilization is kaput so what's the point anyway, plus we've got, like, 500 years til this one's done so what's the rush? Hey who are all those bearded dudes getting out of those big ships?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like rants Thanks Grayven! This one's close to my heart. Indian cricket is almost there(with IPL, but I hate the player auctioning part. Really are they humans or just assets and liabilities? I am boycotting IPL for that and a couple more reasons. ) And now India's vying for the top spot in the rankings. But these can be discussed in the Cricket topic. And I agree with you Gray! Predictions prove more useful for discussions rather than averting a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 peace*out Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) I can point out the obviously obvious facts, but I want you folks to enjoy life to the maximum possible extent till Dec.22, 2012. Enjoy! yay!! I'll have reached my 19th birthday! seriously - i think that the myan culture might die out by 2012. If you really want my opinion, they thought their calendar wasn't going to last that long and/or they were lazy! edit: i was wrong - i ment 17th birthday - i wont be an adult!!! :'( Edited February 17, 2009 by peace*out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It may only be the Mayans that die out by Dec 22 2012; they may not be able to stand the idea of London 2012!?! Boris Johnson will end us all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 It's lilely to be a self-forfilling prophecy where it was chosen to end? I still think there will be a major catastrophe.

0 Guest Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 the world can't end! I'm too young to die! *giggles* Nostrodomus and the Mayan musta gotten it wrong wuzn't the end in 2000? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Izzy Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 wuzn't the end in 2000? Well, see, that one was believable. Millions of computers malfunctioning, causing a nuclear holocaust and the end of the human race as we know it. Luckily, scientists are smart and pulled it together.
