What's your take on this whole 2012 thing?

[TEXX56 0]

you know it could just mean the end of the world as we know it i.e. and of an era... or well maybe it is the end of the world

[LongWayToFall 0]

I don't even know what you are talking bout. However, any end of the world scheme HAS to be justified, even if only slightly

Here's some links to exhaustive lists of all the times that the world ended in the past and will end in the future.

This end times bullshit has gone on before and will continue to go on long after 2012.

I wish people would finally get a clue.

I say we're fucked just by the general downturn of society. Really it has little to do with the "world ending".
When dropzones start letting people like virgin burner jump unsupervised it concerns me about the general welfare of the world as a whole.

Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

thanks, josh, that my jumping had so much to do with society as a whole, i never could of imagined!

it honours not only my person, but my jumping in general! i think i'm up to something much greater than all of you bunch could have imagined.

see you at the world-cup!

Trying to take dudes home from a bar doesn't count, furthermore I would not be proud and bragging about such an endeavor.

True but now we have global warming (or is it cooling now?) Thats it, were fucked!

In all seriousness, if after thousands of years of civilized earth, it somehow ended as I enter my early 20's, I will be PISSED!

Thought up by paranoid conspiracy theorists, peddled by con-artists and believed by idiots.

Stems from a misunderstanding of the nature of the Mayan calendar, continues with the attribution of magical knowledge to ancient civilisations, and gets certifiably crazy with a whole new branch of pseudo_science astronomy to "explain" why 2012 really will bring the end of the world.

But-but-but-but there is solid proof that 2012 is the end!!! With equations and everything... Put on your tinfoil hats and enjoy:

2012 is just a coincidental date between the mayans calender and other predictions. The sun is supposed to move through the galactic equator (center of the galaxy). But calculations say that this has already happened in 1998. There is a +/- 18 year period where the sun is still somewhat in the center, but not exactly in the center. So anything that wouldve happened because of this would have already happened.This happens once every 26,000 years.

its the end of the mayan calender

the crazys say its the end of the world. if you look into it most people translate the ancient text as the end of an era, you could read that as many things, I personally believe it will be the start of a massive collective shift of thought towards a better world (a la a bit hippie style, I hope at least)

No matter how you read it, why would you think any of it would actually happen?

maybe believe is the wrong word, i should replace that with hope. im on my phone atm but that hope stems from a video I saw on ted.com about a social thought timeline (for lack of a better phrase atm) that if you accept what he has been saying has been coming around for ages. that most recent phase that happened according to was in the 50/60s during the social change that went on

id find a link for ya but my phone would shit if I went to that website. its another one of the millions of theorys out there but i tryto look on the positive side of things. I personally hope that its a change away from consumerism, commercialism and the love of money to more important things in life
