theres no harm in covering your bets on this day and taking a weeks holiday in a designated safe area

How do you know where that safe area will be, if you don't know what will happen?

Indeed..

...each one of the 156,000,000,000,000,000,000 seconds remaining does exacly that.  It's a daily worry for many of us!


...To illustrate the sillyness, that immense number represents about 70 MILLION human lifetimes, back-to-back...

Yeah something like that, however it offers no protection against other disasters, just the end of the world.

No way, it ain't gonna happen.

Agreed,but why are all these folk getting up tight about it ?..To believe a race that has become extinct and would think a t.v is magic is total rubbish,their weekend pleasure wasn't going to the movies but doing human sacrifice.

The real bizarre thing is, these people aren't believing what the Mayans have predicted cos they didn't predict anything in particular.  These people are believing what the scaremongers of this generation are selling as the "bonafide" translation of the Mayan Calendar - bunch of snake oil salesmen IMO, giving archeologists and sociologists/historians a bad name.

[Paracelse]

What is really weird is the fact the Mayan calendar is compared to the Gregorian one which is based on nothing.

I'm having trouble understanding what you're trying to say here.

Are you claiming Mayans are inferior because they didn't have TV sets, and performed human sacrifices in their culture?

And that this had anything to do with something they wrote down, which was translated (who knows how accurately) years later by other people, creating loose theories, which became grandiose theories once people who could sell advertising time and movies about it caught on to the idea?

This isn't the first time you've called a culture simpleton savages, who supposedly set out to tell us all that the world is ending in 2012. You're buying a story that people are selling you, and directing your ill thoughts in the complete wrong direction.

I grow weary of this 2012 madness..

Only 7 more months of it to go, one way or the other.

Okay, you guys who thinks that end is near you can save your souls and give all the money you have.
