i heard about this a couple months ago

the author of 2012 was on Montel


truthfully i don't even want to think about the end of the word... it's just a scary thought

my grandmother has told me that they've made these claims before in the past... one in 2000 when al the clocks and everything changed over into the new millenium.... once in '76 i think... one in '64 possibly...

I once read a book about teenagers who were crusading in the 1200s, and there was this one guys who claimed that the end of the world was coming. He used scriptures as examples. Ever since I read that, I assumed that people probably have been claiming this since a long time ago, use examples from scriptures and other places as proof. I don't let it panic me. If the world is going to end, then it is going to end. A being as insignificant as myself is not important enough to stop the forces of nature.

I'm saying its as likely you die what ever particular day they say as it is on any other day. All statistics on accidents or life spans aside.

Also, I want to know about this calendar thing, it was never explained, or I just couldn't be bothered reading. Are they refusing to make a calendar for 2013?

Mel Gibson won't allow calendars after 2012, no.

Yeah, people have been predicting the end of the world since the rise of mankind. They've all obviously been wrong, as have the hundreds of predictions about the second coming of christ, and armageddon. The human race is really paranoid - it thinks it's going to be eradicated like... every 20 or so years.

well those predictions are foolish because they are based on nothing.

well, perhaps the scientific explanation for all these are not yet released online. they could still be studies in the making.

we dont know whether we would be living past 2012. but we can believe.

I don't think this is not going to happen. If it is going to happen I'll be shocked.

Isn't all the 'end of the world' stuff just to make money off the shock value?

Why do people make threats like everybody going to die in 2012?

I don't believe any of this. But if the end of the word is coming, I want to have a book all about Snape written by Jo before I die. That and I want Nick Jonas to kiss me. Then I won't mind if I die. Very Happy

My one friend was worried about the LHC creating a black hole that could suck up the earth and universe. It got shut down from a malfunction. Yet they still plan to test it in years to come, maybe 2012 is when. If so at least it will be a quick death. I'm agnostic, I'm open to what may happen. Maybe the Christian Armageddon or maybe the Norse Ragnarok. Or maybe nothing will happen at all and I can just continue my life.

Come on. A black hole made by a bunch of stupid humans?
I don't think so.
