Luminothe Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I was posting this topiic wondering what everyone thought about 2012. I have heard many theories on the topic but I am curious to know what people on this forums think. Somthing interesting to note is the fact that apocalypse does not mean " end off the world". it means "unveiling". Also, if the only reason you're posting here is to call it bullshit, please stay away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two boldeds contradict as you don't want any thoughts agaisnt the theory of 2012. 2012 is based on the astrological alignment of certain heavenly bodies that happens every 10,000 years. 2012 is lacking of any substancial evidence and the belief of it will bring out the worst in humans during that period of time.

Hero Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Why should we care? If it's the end of the world or whatever and we can't stop it, we can't stop it so we might as well not worry about it. If it's not, nothing's lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Why take it for granted 2012 is reality? I don't see any evidence whatsoever to support the theory. A possible "government conspiracy" theory simply isn't going to cut it if I know what one certain response will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademaster! Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I don't care for it. The only thing that I find to be coincidental about the date is the poles switching thing, but that could happen earlier or after 2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 The Mayans disregarded anything Americans said about 2012. All it is for them is the restoration of their calendar, since their calendar resets after 50 of our years, IIRC (probably not :/). Nostradamus was a jackass; there goes his theory. All in all I'm not worried. It would suck if it was the end of the world, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I can do what Nostradamus did! Watch. "There will be a suicide bomber in the future, if not then the opposite applies." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau of Isaac Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Also, if the only reason you're posting here is to call it bullshit, please stay away. Nah. The idea is bullshit, it's not any different than stating the world will end every single December 31st. Moreover, it's just a sad need for some people to have an end-of-the-world scenario, and after 2012 rolls around and nothing major happens, there will be some other bullshit date.

Crystal Shards Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Who the fuck cares? If the world is going to end, there's nothing to fucking do about it, and we'll be dead anyway. If it doesn't end, then it doesn't end and we can continue making bogus claims about the world ending. For those Christians out there that believe in this shit, I do believe the Bible said only God knows the end date. Anyway, this has to do with yet another Mayan calendar ending right? Let me reiterate that: yet another Mayan calendar. Yet another, meaning this has happened before and we're still here, and Mayan calendar, making me wonder why we think the Mayans knew any more than we did.

Candlejack Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 We will develop a cure for every major disease ailing the human world. However, it will cause unintended side effects that features many qualities in rabies-like symptoms. Also known as zombieism. The world promptly starts to get torn apart by the Zombie Menace until its too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Spoon Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 They're always going to be some group of fucktards claiming that the world is going to end. Haven't you learned this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fayt Zelpher Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Why should we care? If it's the end of the world or whatever and we can't stop it, we can't stop it so we might as well not worry about it. If it's not, nothing's lost. Hero has the right idea. If the world's going to end (due to God, cosmological events, aliens, etc.) and there's no way to prevent it, I see no reason why I should waste my time worrying about it. Might as well enjoy the last 3 years I've got left on Earth. If it's not the end, I'm no worse off, and if it is, I'm probably better off since I wasn't worrying all this time. Besides, people have been talking about the end of the world (and predicting it) for eons. This date isn't any more likely than any other, right? It didn't happen any of the previous times people predicted it, and it doesn't look like it will this time either. Besides, if I recall correctly, Armageddon literally means time of change (and doomsday, for the record, comes from the old English Domesday, meaning day of reckoning (the ancient Book of Domesday was actually used for assessing property taxes for tax purposes)). So even if something big comes from 12/21/2012, that may just mean that we're entering a new era. Remember also that the Mayans, much like many Native Americans and Far Eastern cultures, believed that time is like a circle, whereby the end of one era is simply to be followed by another in a never ending cycle.

Parrhesia Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I'm in agreement. Won't happen, and even if it does, we can't stop it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK-201 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 All it is really is an astrological alignment that happens infrequently. I'm unsure though, did the Mayans ever leave any records that explicitly stated 2012, the date their calender ends is the end of the world? How do we know the end is only the beginning of a new age? Really the only thing interesting about the event of 2012 is the watch the fanatics hype about it. 2012 may bring out the worst in us, as fear of death and the end is never something people would love. We need substancial proof rather than unconvincing shreads of evidence that people have assumed from an ancient culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperactive Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The year 2000 was supposed to be the end of the world too. Anybody who actually believes that 2012 will be the end of us all is a true idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who actually believes that 2012 will be the end of us all is a true idiot. Elaborate more. I want to prove to Luminothe it isn't a questionable thing with some good, SOLID evidence. 2050 was also. Of course when you predicate every date possible to be the end of the world. One guess will eventually be correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakaerys Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 There was the Cuban Missle Crisis, Y2K, 6/6/06, 2012, and I think I saw something about 2060 on the History Channel. Every generation wants to be the last it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
