End of human civilization in 2012??

They predict this will. Pole shift REVERSAL, north will turn south, south turn north. Climate weather change, earthquakes and volcanoes occur, solar radiation, ect. NASA has also confirmed about this prediction. It was on the history channel some days ago too. The MAYANS AND EGYPTIANS also end their calendar in the year 2012(just saying). Type in Pole reversal 2012 in google to see more links. I am scared, five years to live. What would you guys want to accomplish in 5 years?

All I can do is live life to the fullest. I reccomend the same to everyone else.

Nothing wrong with having some survival gear prepared though.

Still, either I live or I die. I refuse to live fearing the end. It comes soon enough.

I wouldn't put too much stock in these predictions though. There are SOOOO many things that can happen, it would be foolish to try to prepare for everything.

You probably have a better chance of dying from a heart attack, or stroke, or cancer, or a car accident in the next five years. Pleasant dreams.

 

[Plec07]

What're you scared of? So what if we're all gonna die, it's not like we'll be able to miss anything once we're dead. We all gotta die someday.

As for what to accomplish in 5 years. Nothing. I live every day as if it were my last, who knows it may well be. I'm happy with who I am, where I'm at and what I do. Sure I have a few regrets from my previous lifestyle, as does everybody. But I can live with them because I'm happy now.

 

[Nighthawk]

I'll bet any man here $8000 that the world will not end in 2012.

 

[Plec07]

Lmao, but if i win then I'd have no use for the money

 

[Mjazz]

It didnt say the world will end, it said the world as we know it will end, maybe we will be more spiritually aware or our conciousness will be higher, or the poles will switch and well all die. So what, doesnt this just give you more motivation to accomplish things and go out and do stuff?

 

[djbr]

Guys, go out and get something to do.

Please?

*waits for the year 2012 when there is a news report about Snap87 and a group of teenagers drinking poisoned koolaid in a mass-suicide*

20+1+2 = 23
that movie was trippy

The Mayans did not predict that human civilization was going to end in 2012, just that we will go through a great change. We are near the end of the 4th (or is it 5th?) world in their longcount system, which is followed by the 5th (or 6th...).

I also think the exact date is sometime in December so we'd have closer to 6 years. Though some people think the translation is off by a year and it will actually occur in 2011.

I explained abundantly clearly that life after a polar reversal is nothing but horror, pure unimaginable horror. All securities you presently have at hand, like - amongst others - food, transport, and medicines, will have disappeared in one big blow, dissolved into nothingness. As will our complete civilization. It cannot be more horrifying than this; worse than the worst nightmare. More destructive than a nuclear war in which the entire global arsenal of nuclear weapons has been deployed in one blow. Are you grasping the facts?

The earth will be subjected to total destruction. It will be many times worse than my description. Terrible hunger, cold and pain, and more will rule your daily life: without hope of a quick recovery, because all knowledge and resources will have been completely destroyed. That will be the reality of your daily life after the forthcoming polar reversal. And it is in this scenario you will have to try to survive.

I don't see where he gets this (assuming this polar shift nonsense is even true). Sure we might get some horrible weather and electronics might get fried. I'm sure this will cause many many deaths, but all knowledge and resources being lost? Worse than a massive nuclear war? Get real.

Right right...

I mean, after that horrific Y2K crash, I can't even fathom how we've even survived up to this point...

Someone has been studying Mayan civilization's folk lore a little to much.

 

[WaterTiger]

Did anyone ever think that the Mayan calender ended because they ran out of rock to carve it on????

I think all this stuff is total crap. I remember back in the 80's there was a book saying that on 5/5/05 all the planets would line up and the gravitational pressure would rip the Earth apart and we'd all die. Guess what...NOBODY DIED!

When I was in grade school the "end of the world" was supposed to be in the year 2000...also from the planets all lining up and all planets being sucked into the sun. Didn't happen.

 

[Redux]

And me thinkind the world ended in 2000 with the computer problems...
Well, that means I have 5 years to achieve my life goals. Let's get to work.

They've also tried to predict earthquakes.

I'm not hijacking or making this thread political, so I'm just gonna state what I read and be subjective.

China is building up their military, both Navy (more carrier ships+subs), Army (manpower to hold lands), Airforce, missles (By 2010 they will have 450 warheads) and Defense (Their underground bunkers are suppose to be nuclear bomb proof). They've been increasing their budget spending to pay for their "modernized" army. The two reasons China would be making their new army is 1) Having a larger influence in the world scene like the US in international politics 2) Invade other countries like Taiwan. The scary part is I read that the Chinese minister of defense stated that by 2008-2015 China will be taking back Taiwan and if U.S. interfere with the opperations, they made it clear that they will use warheads/nukes. I'm pretty sure that will start a WWIII, because North Korea and Russia seemed to be allied with China. Also judging from the current state of the Middle East and their hatred to US and Isreal, the conflict will expand and there will be Allied/Axis formed again.

So I'm guessing by 2015-2020 the global conflict will spread to other countries and the world will be in a WWIII, if that happens nuclear holocaust is unavoidable.

I LIKE TO INSIST THIS IS NOT POLITICAL it is purely current events, I'm deliberately not taking sides because I don't want it closed. Just like to share it with ppl and educate them that there are more important matters to worry than global warming and earthquakes.

First off the World isn't going to end in 2012, The Poles flip every couple a Million years, Now one will die, all that will happen is all Nagiation will need reworking.

But this fliping takes quite sometime.

I hate to think of this stuff but here's my two cents.

During World War II, people had reason to believe life as they know would change. What a terrible struggle, but up to the end people didn't know we had entered the nuclear age.

Then after WWII, the Cold War started. Between the Cuban Missile Crisis and everything people were scared alot.

I grew up in the 80's and the nuclear buildup continued. Ronald Reagan and the Soviets facing each other down. RIP Ronny by the way.

We were scared then. Movies like the Day After, miniseries Amerika, all were around.

Now we have the 9/11 world.

I guess what I'm saying is, a certain amount of fear is inevitable. Mankind has had warfare from the beginning of time.

But I'm placing my bets on an asteroid ending life as we know it at some point. Maybe not in our lifetime but sometime. Then life will restart again. Actually even if an asteroid hit it would be tough to get one that would wipeout life everywhere.

Nostradamus had some predictions that were right and many were wrong. Why should we expect the Mayans to do any better?

If the poles reversed 10 seconds from now, how would you know? 2037 is the REAL issue.
