What will you do, seriously, when yet another of your doomsday prophecies comes and goes? I'm geniunely interested to know.

Well, I don't know about Dec. 13, but there is supposed to be a giant 'armegeddon-like' comet/asteroid that will hit the Earth in 2012.

Good question.

I'm not much for believeing dates. What I see are parallels between different cultures prophecy. The point is that a new earth is supposed to start. Life on earth will not end. That is a very popular but wrong assumption. Life as we know it will be different for sure, but it's hard to say just exactly what if anything will happen. Chaos will erupt as natural disaters increase, and as natural resources decrease, resulting in social chaos. This will lead to wars to maintain the status quo, and many will be sacraficed for humanity to continue. Things are not getting better, they are continually getting worse.

To answer your question, hopefully they will have awesome video games with lifelike graphics. I live up north, and it's freezing in December, so I will probably sit in my house, get loaded and play the latest Halo. Hmmm Halo, or Absolute utter chaos. Both should be fun.

No there isnt.

Proof? News article? Proof?











Didn't think so

Dec 31 2012 I'll more than likely be working.

There have been hundreds, if not thousands, of doomsday prophecies of which none have come true when the date became present.

im not sure who you may be refering to but i dont think there are actually that many that are worried about it--in reality the mayans have demonstrated,although with the many theories and hype it may have been lost among the multitude,that it mearly denotes a larger "cycle" similar to the precession of the equinox but on a grander scale where our solar system completes a large rotation in relation to our galaxy

I thought the mayans thought of 2012 as a new begining.

You don't have to be a prophet to come to the conclusion we might not last too much longer, if what is going on right now keeps up.

I definately think something big is going down.

I don't think it is armegeddon however.

Hate to break it to ya, but it's about a new time of renewal and starting over again-the Mayans believed in a cyclical history. The "doomsday" scenarios are about as credible as those cheesy e-mail 'chain' lettes you get from some kid of a deposed dictator promising you money if you send him some first.

I think that most peoples belief that there is going to be a catastrophe on Dec 12 2012 is based on a misunderstanding of the Mayan Calender, the Mayans didn´t say that the world was going to end on that date just that it was the end of this age, this being, if i remember correctly the 4th age.

elope

Well, I for one will thank my lucky stars I am still alive, wonder how I'm actually going to pay back the huge bank loan I just blew on living the high life and then make up another pointless date based on a different ancient civilisations calculations to look forward to!

How's that for an answer

Great way to ruin a topic.



Well, I don't believe anything really bad is going to happen, besides screaming at the gas station after filling up my tank.


I find this to be a very big hoax. Even the non believers will be slightly curious or nervous in some form throughout 2012.

umm..December 13 of 2012....maybe trying to cure the massive headche i will have after my 30 years celebration party. And maybe going to party to keep the celebration!

I suspect that it is just another gimmic to give conspiracy theorists another adrenaline rush. 11:59:55pm, New Year's Eve, December 31, 2011... "Five...Four...Three...Two...One...Happy New Year!" "Ka-Boom!" "Hey wait, that was just a firecracker... We're still here!"

Except it would be more like

11:59:55pm, December 22nd, 2012

and Why would it go ka-boom ?

The other guy said a firecracker went off.

Right I know.

But I meant That 2012 isnt supposed to be the end.

Just a new begining of some sort.

So why did you ask me why it went kaboom?

Your making me impatient!!

just joking

The person who posted "3..2..1..kaboom oh that was a firecracker" is assuming that 2012 is the end. And that is why a firecracker would be a false explosion, if you will.

Im saying that as far as I can see; and as far as I have read on the subject 2012 is a new begining. Mabey as simple as a new time period. Mabey a far more spiritual happening.

That is what i think.

Do you get it now?

I hope so, because I am usually very bad at explaining myself. (I used to be really shy and I still don't talk aall that much)


-MuddyFrog

muddyfrog is right, it's supposed to mark a new beginning, not THE END. This is the third thread on the subject where an incomplete notion has spun into a life of it's own.

And yes Awwa, you are correct as well. We'll all wake up the next day to find things-the same as they were previously. It's just that instead of a materialistic, mind-numbing society, we'll see a great era of creativity and spiritual resurgence like no other...if people take advantage of it.

IMMA START A RIOT

Yes, it is true...its not a "doomsday" Ive read on something about a "4th dimension" who know's though, Im sure as hell looking forward to it.

ill be waiting for christmas

First of all, the Mayan calendar says nothing about December 13, 2012. The end date of the calendar is December 21, 2012.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012

A new age will apparently begin

What will I do on December 22 2012? Start my Christmas shopping.

Post on here. Na, na, na. Nothing happened.lol

Wikipedia clearly states:

December 21 - End of the great cycle of the Maya calendar's Long Count and a 26,000 year planetary cycle in the Aztec calendar, and thus the alleged end of our world (the end of the cycle is dated December 23 by some calculations).

I don't plan on anything special that day. Like stated previously, it's just the end of a great cycle. Although it does make me wonder a bit. Maybe thier God is coming back?

End of the world?

The turn of the great cycle is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world. According to the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of the Maya, they were living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three worlds that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.

The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinitely larger number of units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), it is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the larger units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0, and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation.

This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on October 13, 4772. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. There will be a Baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 400 year period, but not the end of the age.

It's so funny, just to think... since the Myan calendar ends at a certain date the world will end? Crack pot theory... So if like 2000 years from now, someone finds a Halmark calendar that "mysteriously" ends at like june 4th 4057, they will all freak out too? Gimmie a break. Yeah, I'll be eatting my cake on "dooms" day.

If I am still alive then, I will be getting ready to celebrate my 77th birthday later in the month.

This has probably been said....but my moms boyfriend is Mayan and he says it says that on dec.,3,2012 the world we know of will end...meaning it could change!!

I believe its the 21st of December. However it's not a prophecy. According to the Mayan and Aztec calander it marks the end of one calander and the beginnig of another, or the fifth sun. Some believe this is when we have a polar shift, which means we wil be able to utilize more areas of our brain, because we will be on a different frequency. Some believe we will be able to access the fourth and fifth dimension. which is why the government is afraid of it and doesn't want it to happen. see, if the earth isn't in balance it won't happen. If it does we will be more powerful as one individual than the entire government. If it doesn't, oh well. There is one prophecy that will happen eventually and that's all that matters too me

The world WILL NOT end.

The Mayan Calendar is NOT linear like most people talk about it; it is a circular calender, going through cycles of birth, death, and rebirth. . . .

*sigh*

http://www.biopark.org/peru/mayan-calendar.html

Again, people, the Mayan calendar DOES NOT end on December 13, 2012. The last date is December 21, 2012. After all, eight days is eight days.

look your all wrong about this end of the world theroy

according to the "bible codes" we are all supposed to die next year ill laugh if thats true

Hey sunofone let me check my myan calander to see if I have room for lunch. Holy crap how can anyone read that thing. It's very impressive I must say.

I would watch CNN and listen to some more BS.

The little calender on my desk ends on febuary 2006.. should I be panicking?

No, you should watch CNN and listen to some BS

when it comes and goes I will come on this forum and just say
and when a new doomsday date is made up I will

What?! Someone else said there will be flood!

I'm sure nothing will happen on 2012.

Hell, nothing ever happens to Earth.

Hmm sounds like it's time to get busy livin', or get busy dyin'. All you doomsday people, have fun dyin'.
