2012 is close!

No it doesn't. I'm talking about those who knew it was about computer issue and not mother nature. Why those have to say this. I never heard of the end of the world form Y2K bug but only a date issue in electronic. What's to fear?

So, since this had nothing to do with mother nature, why even compare it to 2012. Two different things, none of my friends and family even thought of natural disasters.

What..? Dude, You've confused me beyond anything... I just...


Wow. I'm speechless. I actually have no idea what you're talking about.

You asked why do people compare Y2K and 2012. I answered thusly: they're both end-of-the-world predictions that did/will not come true. That's why people compare them. Are you seeing this? It has nothing to do with mother nature or numbers.

Nevermind, but the question is still unanswered.

Y2K was about more than a date issue. It was assumed that the date issue would cause nukes to malfunction and launch, planes to crash, etc, etc, etc.

EDIT: Typo

Thanks, thats the answer I was looking for. Well, I knew that wasn't going to happen, so thats why I asked. Like I said, I found Y2K not fear-able but 2012 is different scenario to me. Well I still think it's not comparable to 2012 but thats my opinion.

hey look, a flying fish. or is that one of those new-fangled submarines the Deep Ones are building?



That is a gold figurine found in the jungles of South America. Among 100's of these figurines, mostly depicting people, animals,-yes, even fish :). There were 2-3 that looked exactly like airplanes. A group of aerodynamics engineers built a large scale model of one of them, adding a small engine, and the thing flew just fine.

I don't believe anything significant is going to happen in 2012. And if anything did happen, it'd be because of mankind's stupidity.

What is going to happen? Where's your proof?

Please, if you believe in it so solidly, you must have come upon some awesome evidence!

OR he knows people will pretty much pitch a fit everywhere, convinced the world will end.

EDIT: No matter what, something's gonna happen. There are people who're hyped up enough to cause some damage.

Yeah, because my proof (if I did have one) will change your mind or do you just want to argue with me?

Dude, simmer.

If you've got some proof, please present it. I'm not trying to have a go.

It works like this: You've made a rather large (if vague) claim. You must now present enough evidence for it. The rest of us will have a look at it and try to disprove it.

Which comment?

So you have no proof whatsoever?

I am not surprised.


I have some other kind of proof that is not related to the subject of the thread.

Alright, man, I get it. You don't want to debate. Please don't drag this out. I'm trying not to get this thread closed.



Is there anyone else here who'd like to make a claim and then present their evidence?
