It is currently november the 20th over here in Europe and the worst I've felt today was a bit of rain. Yet another empty promise.

It's the polite thing to do, if you don't want to hurt the feelings of the gullible fools who truly believed everything was about to be destroyed.

It is interesting how group fear can express itself. I chatted with a guy in line at Wal-Mart a couple months ago about why he carried a weapon on his hip, he said it was because when the Muslims come, he'll be ready.

And the only Muslim I know of in town that isn't a tourist is the rheumatologist at the hospital.

Personally I prefer the robot apocalypse instead. Less mess, more efficiency.

I'm looking online right now for a high-risk lender that will finance me to buy a house on a Nibiru fragment.

I plan for the future.

I think your way is smarter. My planning hasn't lead to anything good (although that's probably more on me than a flaw with the concept of planning).

I prefer the apocalypse scenario that's like a Mad Maxxy kind of thing (or whatever happened in "Into The Badlands", because then my farcical survivalist lifestyle is easier to pretend as reasonable.

If it was really the end of the world we could tell a difference in our earth's daily routine.

And NASA and or Governmental experts would declare this to happen or something would foreshadow it.

NASA isn't reliable for foreseeing the apocalypse. Their reports are all about "economic disparity" and "environmental damage" and "global political instability".

That's what you get when you have a bunch of scientists doing math. They think the end of the world will occur because of things that happen on our world.

They probably haven't even looked for Nibiru or the Anunaki spacecraft or Azathoth.

Yes, just like the world was supposed to end in 1347, 1898, 1914, 1939, 1945, 1960, 1990, 2000, 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2016.

Which is why the Jehovah's Witnesses are such a depressing sect to belong to. Fear for the end of the world is basically the only reason to belong to that congregation of joyless buzzkills, but our silly planet just keeps on turning.
