Don't listen to this guy, he's the same one who spews the "9/11 truth crap" propaganda.

Probably has schizophrenia himself.

I think the whole 2012 is bull****.

You know how many people made money off of the Y2K hype? It's all about the money. If you don't believe that, you're insanely ignorant. Keep thinking the world will end.

Pessimists.

edit: Gullible pessimists actually.

The world will not end in a day, it will end in a generation. Right now is only the beginning.

The Olduvai theory mirrors my thoughts precisely. If we keep up our current state of resource consumption we won't have enough resources to expand to the moon and Mars. This IS probably the technological peak, of time, EVER, until we can master Nanotechnology.

Nanotechnology is ALL brains. A man is used to using his hands to express his creations, but how can you build atomic structures with your fingers? As technological measurment equipment becomes more and more precise we can build finer working machines for us.

hey blackdragon,

i am not vouching for the 9/11 truth movement. i just think it's interesting material to read (i'm not even the person who posted that thread) i mentioned a few times that i don't even have a concrete opinion about what happened. if you read my posts, i wouldn't have to bring this to your attention

and about that schizophrenic person i had conversations with. it's not like that person said anything that was too far-fetched. the year 2012 has a lot of significance for what ever reasons and people have been talking about it for some time. who knows... maybe that schizophrenic person heard about 2012 having some sort of significance to it; and with his creative mind, put a little religious twist to it. i don't know. now if he said something like, "The **** will hit the fan on 9/11 and two building will crumble..." before that event took place, now that's some **** to trip out on!

get your facts straight before you slam people

black_dragonzilla05, the Y2K threat was real. The hype made people fix the computers that it would have affected. Thus nothing seemed to happen.

Visceral:
Every time people have thought the world was going to end, they've been wrong.

Religious people will just bump up the dates for the Second Coming and Armageddon as they have done so many times in the past.

Yes, exactly!

It’s always in this lifetime that “Jesus is coming!,” yet the exactly same thing has been said for the past two thousand years. They should give it a break. Two thousand years of saying “It’s coming! Just wait, it’s coming right now! Prepare!”? Shoehorning is a fascinating phenonema whereby people look at events in the newspaper or on the boob tube and turn the events as “proof” of their agenda, e.g. the apocalypse, never mind that the events are entirely unrelated. Last decade, Bill Clinton’s proposal for a national health card prompted religious folk to proclaim it was mark of the beast. But no, a few years later it was the European Union which was now the mark of the beast. The same tired routine. This year it was the tsunami and more hurricanes which prompted apopalyptic nonsense.

*Yawns*

Oh, by the way, everyone, I am the anti-Christ. Seriously!

(P.S. The earth will be destroyed in about four billion years when the sun expands to devour the inner planets, as the sun runs out of fuel; which, despite some religious opposition, is inevitable. There will be no life on earth when that happens because the earth will be scorched and burnt to a crisp well before the inevitable solar dinner. Let’s all escape to Jupiter, shall we.)

The Mayans call it the end of the 5th world and the beginning of the 6th. Not the end of time. It's less of a prediction and more of a label of a time period based on astrology.

The Bible code is absolute garbage that works on any large novel.

It's basically the end of the Mayan calendar. Basically like saying that December 31 is the end of the world because that's when the calendar ends.

There was a crazy guy on a street corner in Louisville last month that said the end of days will come January 1, 2008.

I have no reason to doubt him.

And Iam still trying to get all my electronics to work from Y2K.

 

[penkitten]

ever notice how something is always the end of the world?

hitler was suppose to be the end.
saddam was suppose to be the end.
the year 1999 was suppose to be the end.
jan 1 2000 y2k was suppose to be the end.
major catastrophic earth events: global warming, melting polar ice caps, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, etc.
the weather
now the mayan calendar
and 6/6/06

heres more http://www.religioustolerance.org/end_wrl1.htm

the world will end when it ends, none of us can predict it. be ready and prepared whether it be in your heart or in your bomb shelter (see blast from the past haha ), just be prepared at any given moment.

The mayan's prediction surrounding 2012 a.d. wasn't literally meant to be understood as the end of the world. Rather, they believed humanity would exponentially evolve beyond its present metaphysical state of technology and as a result, we, as humans, would somehow (I am not into the specifics) be able to telepathically communicate with extraterrestial lifeforms or something along those lines. Look it up; it's actually pretty interesting, even if bound to be untrue.

My point exactly.

 

[Bible_Belt]

The Maya were also sacrificing little kids. They found the bloody altars and drawings on walls. Apparently it was not a quick death...

Doesn't change the fact we are all gonna die unless we escape the solar system...

This is (basically) something I believe will happen. Maybe not anything with aliens or telepethy, but I think their will be a major change triggered in humanity around 2012, that will be positive and spiritual in nature, in the long run. I know it's not logical, but I'm really looking forward to 2013 to see if there's any truth to it.

Going off on a tangent here, but didn't the Mayans call the last 20 years of their calander (now) something along the lines of "the age of information"? I thought I read that somewhere.

I think that was the Aztecs, not the Mayans. I could be wrong.

 

[Scrumtulescence]

Mayans sacrificed kids, I'm pretty sure.

Well does anyone have any actual evidence either way? Hollywood is too much of an influence.

Actually 2012 is the year when the other Twelve Tribes of Man will arive on Earth after fleeing their destroyed Colonies. We are the Thirteenth Tribe of Man who all come from the homeworld of Kobol. It's just been so long that we've forgotten where we are from, but we still remember a bit in our myths about Zeus and Apollo and such.

Life here, began out there. Far across the universe. With tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans, that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria, or Atlantis. Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the heavens.

If aliens landed, they would surely have some BS story about being our long lost creator or cousin. They would invite everyone to board the ship for a big party. Then they'd strap everyone down, and stick a cable in the back of peoples' heads to power the ship, like in The Matrix. As the ship approached the speed of light, time would slow nearly to a stop, so the new human batteries could be used for well past their life spans on Earth.
