I don't know why the hell I didn't think of that.

Everyone go vote!

I don't believe in it, and I would rather kill myself than give it the satisfaction of killing me, whatever it may be. :P

January 1, 2000 - Nothing

June 6, 2006 - Nothing

December 21, 2012 - Take a wild guess

On the 21st of December, 2012, I'm gonna head into Charlette and film all the idiots and doomsayers. Then I'll head back, put my couch on my roof, and watch the chaos while eating caramel popcorn. Care to join?

This is what's going on and what's going to happen.

Earth's rotation axis is shifting. As we get closer to 2012, our two "extreme" seasons will be getting worse and worse. Meaning summer is getting hotter while winter is getting colder. While all of this is happening, earth's magnetic field and all that other jazz is weakening. Which is the cause for the "extreme" seasons becoming worse and worse. During 2012 the two seasons will be at their peak and earth will begin to settle into it's new rotation axis.
All of this was explained on the science channel and there is absolutely nothing to worry about unless you can't take the heat/cold. In which case go and buy yourself and air conditioner/heater. Maybe armor your house in preparation for all the crazies.

The only way we'll go extinct on 2012 is if we all kill each other.

I challenge you to a conquering contest. I shall use my fool-proof Death Star to win on the date of December 21st, 2012. What could go wrong? :P

Veni, vidi, vici!

I guess I'll have to put both of you down then.

Then, outsiders came along and thought, hmmm, an ending calendar. I've got it! The end of the calendar must represent the end of the world! :P



This^^^^

The Mayans never claimed the world would end in 2012. It's just simply the end of an astrological cycle to them. They basically would have started a new calendar the next year.

It's just the assuming kooks who came after, that came up with the end of the world scenario.

No...That's like me crossing off days on a calendar, running out of ink, and then assuming that this means something and that that must be the day the world's going to end.





You'll find me in my bomb shelter.

I make no strong claim either way. However, it seems to me to be a rediculous notion to believe in something that was cooked up entirely by a new ager in the 70's who accidently mistranslated the meanings of the Mayan calander and its important dates.

About as much as I did the whole y2k disaster. Was funny watching people: :ahhh: Y2K! :ahhh: Y2K! :ahhh: Y2K!


:P


This.

I think it's time to organize, just like the "teh wurld iz gunna endzz!" clowns. Set up teams to go around and laugh at them, in organized fashion, a week or so after their predicted "doomsday" when the world is still ticking along like always.

Maybe set up a Bill Engvall Foundation, and distribute the appropriate materials to them after their predictions prove false:

"Hello, you were hiding in the hills waiting for the last doomsday prophecy to come true, correct?"

"Uh, yes...why?"

EDIT: Sorry, forgot the primary point: No, I don't buy into the absurd (but good for comedy at some poor schmuck's expense) theories. 2012, or any other. :D

Nope.

I do, however, think that there are likely to be a lot of terrorist attacks and shootings on that day, for obvious reasons.

If I remember right I read that the Mayan calender was off and that 2012 to them is actually 2007. I don't quote me on that though although I remember reading that 2012 should have happened already since the Mayan Calender is inaccurate.

No, I don't believe in the theory. If there is one theory. I've heard several. Though, I think a little Apocalypse would be healthy for all of us. I'm ok with tomorrow, just not right now.

Can I chime in here?

I want to mention that it is already the year 2015! :clap:

Want to know why?

The one who made the current calender we all use today and based off the times, They left out the year 0 "zero" for between B.C. and A.D. and the 4 year reign of Augustus Cesar was not included in the timed events. :facepalm:

So there are the 5 missing years. :goodjob:

Since we can't mention God or religion around here I will keep my personal beliefs out.

My post from BGS fans regarding the subject.

As far as I'm concerned it will not happen and look forward to that day and when nothing happens I'm going to have a "I told you so" talk with some people that I know. And have tried convincing others that much of the 2012 craze is the product of alarmism and ignorance. For example many of these 2012 alarmists believe that the planets will align when any astronomer will say other wise and that such a alignment will not occur on December 21st nor anytime soon for that matter.

Further more the Mayans did not predit a end of the world and either A).Ran out of room on the calander and besides their knowledge of astronomy was not entirely precise and while great at that period of time its just not accurate enough. Or It was not the end of the world but for them just another age and life will go on. This is assuming of course if you believed that the Mayans could predit great disasters and not just crop cycles.

Its unfortunate however that humanity as a whole when 2012 does not occur will not learn from it and many have already made new times when the world will end. Besides the chances of something not occuring on 2012 that might be considered a great disaster as in going stone age is about as I see it as %99.9(With 25 9's behide that). And any minor damage would be a product of things like riots and hysteria.

As for people like Nostradamus who some say predited things in the future with one of them being 2012 is unfounded seeing how theres no proper evidence and that some of his preditions are rather cryptic like "Man will speak to one another across the world with rocks". Any number of interpretations could be used and while one might say that he predited cell phones another might say that man will better learn to harness magic using magic rocks or that he predited that there will be great wars; and there has been many wars that could describe his "visions". So to answer your question no I don't believe in 2012.

Look, the 2012 theory is just stupid. I mean, the idea that some ancient culture from the stone age could predict the end of the world is stupid.

Besides, if the world was going to end in 2012, it couldn't end in 2018 like I'm predicting right now.

No, 2012 will not be apocalyptic.

Do i believe that the world will quite literally cease to exist...? pft, don't be stupid. :P



Do i believe that that's the date in which i start my conquest of the Entire World?!?!

Why are you asking that?!?!?!

Risk style or RTS. If its RTS I wouldn't do so well because my war-room screen is way to small for a global conflict like that.
If its Risk style you guys are in for a lesson.
