2012

[Ahtreil]

2012 is based on a Mayan calender that ''ended'' at the year 2012.

What do you do when a calender ends?
you buy a new one!

2012...

Has anyone watched the news lately? What about WWIII... or the whole world sink into chaos? Reading about the things that happen all over the world in just a few months i get the creeps... When did it happen the last time, that there were half a dozen Revolutions in 3 months?

Are you talking about 1848?

We went into 1849.

[Eternal Yerushalayim]

Republicans win Indiana, Ohio, Virginia,North Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, Iowa , Michigan and Wisconsin, along with 2008 red states.

Democrats keep Massachusetts, Washington, Minnesota, Illinois,California and Delaware by narrow margins.

[Republicke]

I think Ron Paul vs. Dennis Kucinich would be an interesting race.

[Bottle]

My dream situation would be if the Republicans ran a Palin/Trump ticket. Ron Paul would be a close second choice.

I can't think of any Democrat that I give two shits about at this point, but it'd be fun to watch the GOP lose some more.

The Democrats' ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory notwithstanding, I don't see that. I think 2012 could be close, but given the front-runners on the GOP right now, and the Tea Party insanity, I think it's going to be a Democratic victory. The only question is, how large?

[Barringtonia]

Flip the 2's clockwise and anti and read it backwards and 2012 reads Zion...

I predict the people will pretend to choose between Gonorrhea and Chlamydia once again, while the social elite decides who will be their next puppet.

the thing is obama does do well against nameless generic republicans in the polls but he kicks the ass of every republican who is thought to be actually running.

so the republicans have to find someone else if they want to win. someone who can get past the lunatic base but not BE a lunatic.

which is technically possible. or obama might make a catastrophic error. but as it stands things are not looking good for the republicans taking the whitehouse.

I agree. I heard Mitch Daniels is maybe possibly going to run, but he's already tainted by suggesting the GOP work with people who aren't as ideologically pure as some in the party might like. The folks attending CPAC didn't like that and I doubt it will play well with the Tea Party. Speaking of whom, they held a little get-together recently and there were lots of warnings about the consequences for Republicans who don't follow through on their promises to slash the living daylights out of the budget this year. Not next year, not the year after that, but right now, damn it.

[Astholm]

In 2012 these economic predictions could come true...
Chinese car manufacturer buys out FIAT or Peugeot-Citroen. (Long shot)
Ford launches crossover based off Focus platform, with front- or four-wheel-drive. Also sold in Brazil with 1.8 Flexifuel petrol engine. (Possible)
Kia decides to build more vehicles in the U.S. market, and expands to Mexico. (Possible)

[Inchland]

I predict that I'll finish my leaving cert, then proceed to go on one hell of a bender.

They saw Zion but not Lisa giving head. They must be obsessed about Zionists...or they haven't seen the Simpsons..

I don't think Obama will be re-elected. He did too little for the important issues, and he did too much for silly nonsense.

[Pancakes Wrath]

Anyone have any 2012 predictions? I think that President Obama will probably get the Dem's nomination and I am hoping for Ron Paul from the republican side, but I don't know that that is very practical. If that doesn't happen (or perhaps even Gary Johnson) then I am hoping for a viable Libertarian candidate.

Some dumbass Republican will win and Sarah Palin will at least be vice president. Obama will get nominated for the Dem's side, but he'll lose. It will look as though we'll go back to the 1900's culturally, but then some giant ass meteor/hurricane/tornado/earthquake/Yellowstone will wipe us all out right before Christmas, so it will all be moot.

And of course Jesus will finally tell us who shot JFK.

I'm not a huge Obama fan, but this weird claim that he "hasn't done much" for "important issues" is such bunk.

Just a little reading to get started.

I don't LIKE all the shit he's accomplished, and I certainly think his focus is wrong in many place, but it's stupid to pretend that he isn't getting shit done. Given the Republican obstructionism, I think Obama's administration is actually getting a surprising amount done.

Mitt Romney will get the GOP nomination, and the election will be really close, no matter who wins.

I'll be supporting Newt Gingrich in the primaries. Romney compromises to much.

hahahaha you are NOT!

gingrich is so far past his "sell by" date that not even his ex-wives will vote for him!

Hey, don't talk em out of it. I'd LOVE to watch Newt get his ass kicked all over the airwaves again...sometimes I miss the 90s.

and so what? It'll keep Beck's big mouth shut and make Rachel MadCow go out of her mind.

Palin runs, quickly exits the primary after embarrassing herself. Romney is the predictable frontrunner, with Ron Paul refusing to exit the race. Donald Trump runs as an independent. Republicans and anti-Obama independents too fractured, Obama wins reelection.

The Jehovah's Witnesses say (or at least I have it on good authority that they say; corrections are welcome) that the Apocalypse will come when the last World War I veteran dies. With Frank Buckles' death, we're down to two worldwide, one 109 (in Oz) and the other 110 (in the UK).

They flutter behind you, your possible pasts
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost
A warning to anyone still in command
Of their possible future to take care.
In derelict sidings the poppies entwine
With cattle trucks lying in wait for the next time.

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

She stood in the doorway, the ghost of a smile
Haunting her face like a cheap hotel sign
Her cold eyes imploring the men in their Macks
For the gold in their bags or the knives in their backs.
Stepping up boldly one put out his hand
He said, "I was just a child then, now I'm only a man."

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

By the cold and religious we were taken in hand
Shown how to feel good and told to feel bad.
Tongue tied and terrified we learned how to pray
Now our feelings run deep and cold as the clay.
And strung out behind us the banners and flags
Of our possible pasts lie in tatters and rags.

Do you remember me? How we used to be?
Do you think we should be closer?

Interesting, so if (when) this doesn't happen, I wonder if we will see a mass denunciation of that religion.

There's also this site. I remember being shown it several months ago and learning that a lot more had happened than I thought.
