2012

Well one it was never by the Mayan Calendar, only by lunatics, and it's not just another End of the World it is the Mayan End of the World. And they have been right so far.

I think a group of people who killed others to satiate their gods' "hunger" can qualify as lunatics. They have been right about celestial alignments in the past, but where is the evidence to suggest something catastrophic will happen? I don't see how the Earth/sun aligning with the center of the Milky way will result in the end of the planet. Yes, there will be an alignment, but then what? The Mayans had to stop recording future dates at some point, and where better to end their calendar than on the day of such a rare celestial event?

[Brewdomia]

The world won't end. We passed Y2K, we passed 6/6/06, this will just go another day in our lives.

Some people did die 6/6/06, a lot of people actually. They weren't there to see the rest of population survive the rest of the day....

people die everyday

[Fotonia]

Well, this actually (a .0000000000000000001% chance) may happen. The mayan calender is even more accurate then our gregorian calendar. And some chinese calender that is highly accurate predicts the world will end as well. On the same day, the same hour, the same minute, same second...

Now how could this just be a coincidence?? Two Civilizations thousands of miles apart predicting the same exact thing on the same exact day!

Just like most things made in China, their calendar was a copy of the original.

[Psycho Baby]

I'll be praying the night before just in case.

The Mayans didn't even believe that the Mayan Calendar ended on 2012.

*&^%ing ridiculous.

[The Deus Corporation]

2012, the end of the world! MWHAHAHAHA

According to the Mayan Calendar the world is supposed to end December 12th, 2012. But there is debate, some say that just because the calendar is over might mean they just need to build a new one, nothing more, they just didn't want to write anymore. Others say it is over because it will be the end of the world.

Well if I were you, i'd pack up on bottles of water, food, and radios, plus a battery. And bunker down in your basement block the door. And wait it out =).

I'm pretty sure it's december 21st but either way chances are nothing's gonna happen

Maybe because both had advanced astronomy, and something of astrological, but not legitimate, consequence happens in 2012? Nope, we can't look for rational causes, we must automatically assume the supernatural. That's reason!

The Mayan calendar supposes no such event, nor does it end.

If a person was to buy into crackpot end-of-the-world nonsense, you'd think they'd read up a bit on the calendar themselves, and thus discover what a load of bullshit such theories are, but no...they heard it somewhere, and can't be bothered to enlighten themselves. The world will end, and that's that...



...just make sure you leave your doors unlocked when you head into your panic room. I could use a new laptop.

[Ring of Isengard]

Will it be before or after the Olympic games of that year?

If before, my fellow Brits should cancel it as a giant waste of money. No wait, they should do that anyway

I don't think the world will end, you see - I'm sane.

[Parthenon]

Just finished watching all of the Season 7 episodes of Penn and Teller's Bullshit that are on OnDemand for Showtime and there just so happened to be an episode on this 2012 nonsene. In the words of Penn "Bullshit"

[No Names Left Damn It]

Well if I were you, i'd pack up on bottles of water, food, and radios, plus a battery. And bunker down in your basement block the door. And wait it out =).

If I were you, I would shut the fuck up and get the fuck off the internet, get a bit of fresh air and a fucking brain. Moronic cunts like you make me wish the world was ending.

you do know that hiding in your basement doesn't work for floods... right?

Probably already mentioned but, not if you live 5677 feet above sea level and near the top of a hill.

Oddly enough on 12/21/12 the earth and center of the milkyway will align. This happends something like every 24,000 years or so.

Harsh though it may be to nitpick such a seemingly innocuous slice of the paranoia around 2012, this is utterly meaningless. Think about it... you're talking about two points in space aligning. Two!

Take a blank piece of paper and draw two dots on it, in random places. Can you connect the two with a straight line? Does that mean that those two points are somehow mystically aligned?

[Geniasis]

Watch as 2012 is the most boring year ever. No major international conflicts or terrorist attacks. No natural disasters or climate crises. Just boring day-to-day stuff for the entire year.

Oh yeah, that just reminded me. There has to be at least 1 5 50 10,000 planets lined up with the center of the galaxy at any given time. Our tiny little speck of rock and water that has sub-advanced apes on it orbiting a medium sized star should matter when it said it would line on up that date.
Well, im bound to be wrong and the Earth dies in 2012 anyway, and my last word will be I was wrong!

[New Roccoland]

I wonder what good hiding in a bunker will do if the world is ending.

[Northern Franktopia]

By "world ending," do you mean the end of human civilization, or a major setback akin to the Dark Ages? Or are you talking about the literal obliteration of the planet Earth? If the Earth is literally to be obliterated, what good will hiding and preparing do for you?

It's all bullshit. Every so often somebody decides they really really think it's really gonna happen this time, really. And it never does.

One day, of course, the world will probably get smashed by a large asteroid and if humans are still around at that point, then it'll be the end for us. Also, in some billions of years, as the sun runs out of fuel it'll eventually expand and absorb the Earth. I doubt humans will still be around for that.

If the world ending helps you get some of those things on your short list done early, then by all means, go on believing. Perhaps we should live like that every day, because death is always hovering over our left shoulder.

December 12th, 2012.

Even though I don't believe the 2012 bullshit, if this is the right date I'm going to be pissed, one day after my birthday.

[Inchland]

Meh, worlds not going to end then.....

No im sorry it is december 21st

[Saint Clair Island]

Actually, the world already ended in 1843. I'm surprised nobody has noticed yet.

[The New WorId Order]

The Mayan Calender JUST ended there. they never predicted the End of the world. they never said anything. they just ended their Calendar there. What, do you think they were going to put in EVERY day in time?
