2012!!

[Dive to Survive]

This much is evident. Welcome to Ramblings of the Wise. Essentially, the Mayans suffered the same fate as native americans here in Canada and the USA. Only, they were conquered by the spanish and possibly a few others (it slips my mind). They are still around today, though only as a minority in their countries around Central America. Think south of Mexico but not quite down to Colombia.

So, youre not perfect either? Huh

[Sage]

So, youre not perfect either? Huh

Central and South America were not among my case studies in AP World History.

[Giles]

So, youre not perfect either? Huh

Does it really matter?

[Dive to Survive]

Proving my point, but on the main topic, I don't know when the world will end but I don't think we'll ever know when, until it happens

[Ryhanna]

I'd like to know what the hell the mayans were right about before? Seeing as they've gotten everything else right - whats everything else?

I've also been very curious about this 2012 stuff and a lot of people seem to think that the calendar doesn't mean "end of the world" but end of this stage of our evolution. That we're about to enter a "golden age" of peace and everything.

Another theory is planet X/nibiru going through our solar system, messing earth up and causing a catastrophe. Nibiru apparently has done this before and it has been historically recorded from ancient humans.

And a newer theory has something to do with the sun. I don't know much about it but there is apparently strange activity with the sun.

I persoanlly don't believe it, Im just curious as to what it's all about. That sort of stuff interests me, paranormal and stuff :P

[Perseus]

Bah, Nibiru, don't make me get started, man. I researched that becuase it looked really interesting, but it is so illogical, lol. People just make up random shit, lol.

[Ryhanna]

hahaha i know! The whole 2012 thing is SO stupid and random. I can't believe anyone actually believes it

[Giles]

hahaha i know! The whole 2012 thing is SO stupid and random. I can't believe anyone actually believes it

I believe I've posted the link before, I also think you quoted the statement from the website. I believe that we are going to be entering a new age, the fifth cycle, the golden age (whatever you want to call it), I'm going to research about this "planet x". It sounds interesting.

Just search Nibiru. You might get other random stuff with "planet X". Lol.

[Scarface]

So many people are believing the 2012 end of the world thing. Well my perception of the whole thing is that it the end of a new beginning. Meaning that something extravagant will happen, but even though the Mayan's predicted this catastrophe why didn't we all die when 2000 came along. there has been so many beliefs over a centuries of the end, but is it all true. I guess the question is what do you think will happen in 2012 and is this the last generation?

[Jamie]

Absolutely nothing.

[UndecidedMatter]

i belive life will go on as normal, exactly as it did in 2000.
also the world will end when the sun explodes roughly millions of year in the future.

[Scarface]

or a meteor collides with earth or the so called "strange matter" is formed i don't think anything with the WOMD (weapons of mass destruction) will have anything to do with our demise

[2D]

I'm hoping for world-wide crash of everything related to technology rendering all microchips useless.

[JackOfClubs]

Nothing is going to happen. There is no scientific evidence of anything coming our way in the foreseeable future. Besides, if I was the Mayans, I would get tired making a calendar that goes on for hundreds of years anyway.

[PainUnreal]

Quite honestly, they've been predicting doomsday for hundreds of years. My parents had the news on a while back and they had some dude on there basically disprove every single possible natural thing that could cause the end of the world in 2012. And the Mayan calendar actually has predictions up to year 4000 I believe, but even if they don't I've always just said "maybe they just ran out of rock" xD. So unless we get in some gigantic nuclear arms war, I highly doubt that the world's gonna end in two years

[ryann]

nah, 2012 is a load of bollocks, if you look at the theory behind it then it is not possible, just ask any physicist :)

[kyle56]

Ive read that there is suppose to be a change in solar activity and thats it. nothing is going to happen unless aliens attack and kill everyyy human o n the planet XD

[Brayden]

Yes, the Mayan Long Count Calendar ends in 2012. However, our calendars end every year, and nothing spectacular generally happens, what makes this calendar's end date so special?

[Marcie]

I do not believe that 2012 is the end..

[INFERNO]

The concern over the year 2000 is different than the fluff of 2012 because people were legitimately worried over whether "-00" would be outside the parameters of the computer programs, rendering a massive mess. Some people extrapolated this to suggesting the world would end and stuff but that's not what the concern was initially over, however, that's what many caught onto.

For 2012, it's really a silly argument because calenders end annually and there's no ending of the world. The fact that the calender was by an ancient society doesn't justify the concern.

However, I have 2 predictions for 2012:

1) The same stuff will happen as usual only it will be associated to the magical forces an abstract date induces (haven't a clue how that works but anyways). Also, more concern and panic will occur. If someone dies on that date or if there's a car crash, it may be due to the world apparently ending.
2) After 2012, once people settle down, someone else will come about with some nonsense and say the world will end in [insert year] because of [insert gibberish]. Once that day comes and goes, the same thing will happen over and over.

[Ryhanna]

The world wasn't actually meant to end in 2000.
I'm pretty sure it was something like...
Computer people thought that their electronic deviced would cease to work after they rolled over to double zero or something and they had like, antivirus discs (not antivirus...) to stop them from breaking down but they never broke down anyway. People just went over the top with the whole world ending thing

As for 2012...
I don't really think anything will happen.
Remember that this whole theory is based on some intelligent ancient mexicans (who died out by the way, obviously they weren't THAT smart.) and their calendar. I'll believe it when I see it... until then, I'm labelling it as BS.

Ummmmm.... What is "This" you are talking about?

I will make/bring up some nonsense too.

Fiction:

In 2004.

A huge nuclear barrage; massacred the human race. Caused by the self-aware intelligent software which spans across many servers and systems. Bound to destroy the human race. And also goes by the name SkyNet.
Manufacturing Cyborgs and other machines to destroy what left of human race.

In 2008

Mankind is at the verge of extinction. A war waged amongst the strongest nations; using the Ultra-magnetic weaponry, earth now is but a wasteland. Using such devastating weapons, horribly changed the what we know of earth.

The axis has been deliberately changed. Earthquake, tornadoes and different calamities are the result of using such weaponry. With little to no chance for humans to live in this war-broken earth.

Might be -real- events:

2056
Astrologist gathered and agreed on an unwanted visit of an asteroid to earth in near 2056. And we will relive the same horror the earth witnessed 65 million years ago. Causing huge destruction, and in few hours the earth will be almost obliterated from this devastating force.

In the upcoming 2060.
The earth temperature will significantly rise to a limit that it is unbearable to living organism; Animals, plants and microorganisms alike.

The ecosystem will be disrupted and hindered by the odd temperature rise and will cause several disasters to happen, from Rainstorms to Cyclones.

Polar caps melts, by which it will cause huge torrents which par the tsunami and destroy the land masses and sink them deep under the water.

[Kahn]

2012 is a superstition. For some reason people believe there must be an end, and in order to sanity in society they must find this 'end' and warn everyone about it. 2012 is simply the end of the Mayan calender. Nothing more. I will be nothing more. Well.

[Scarface]

Really great analogies people there is the belief in the yes and no. What about he religious side of things stating that "God" or another life form maybe aliens will come to earth to either enlighten or eliminate the human race. Has any one heard of Sylvia Brown and her theory?

[Kahn]

The reason I haven't heard of it is because it probably isn't a popular theory.

[Scarface]

There are conflicting fact about it all, but i still think we will be here so i dont think we have anything to worry about for now...

[Aspiringanonymous]

"So my question is..." merged with "2012!!"

Please post in the existing active thread first, before creating a new one. Thanks! :)

That sums up my position perfectly. The entire apocalyptic prophecy appears to be an archaeological misconception.

Is there a point anywhere in this or are you just showing me you can be creative?

[Magus]

Is there a point anywhere in this or are you just showing me you can be creative?

I have not a single sincere Idea. But I think it is about the day when humans are gone and done for.

Possibilities you know. The temperature rise and the asteroids are real though. If we don't do anything regarding them; we will be the creator of our own demise.

All the 4 ones are referenced, with the exception of the last one(Voodoo one is made by me :P)

[Pudd]

It could also mean that the Mayans didnt plan on sticking around so didnt make their calendar to infinite. It could predict the coming of a new leadership or age. A new sun cycle. Anything really. Although the end of the world stuff does creep me out a bit.

[Giles]

The world wasn't actually meant to end in 2000.

You've got the first part right.
Actually, there is still some Mayans left. Somewhere.

Did anyone consider the whole thing about the switching of the magnetic north and south poles?
I don't know that much about it. Only what my physics teacher told me.

[JDB_95]

Firstly if it does end in 2012 i've wasted my whole life at school :( and i doubt it will but i will someday prob when the sun explodes or somminand i doubt i'll be here to see that

[Dive to Survive]

I'm hoping for world-wide crash of everything related to technology rendering all microchips useless.

Haha, that would be interesting

[heWILLchangeyou]

No one knows when the world will end God controls that.

[dontknow2010]

Exactly.... my hat's of to you :yes:

[SimplyTom]

its not true

[Jess]

I don't I graduate that year it's all nonsense

[Removed]

There was 2000th, 2008, now 2012, and there'll be more, but we all die eventually, so whatever... Anyway i don't believe in that crap, and about the Mayan Calendar, everything has a beginning and an end, so considering how far before us they were living, i'd say that they could count up to 2012 :D And if that calendar ended there, and the mayans were alive, I'm sure they would continue it :)

[Bluearmy]

What a bunch of hogwash!

[Aves]

What a bunch of hogwash!

Agreed. Who cares what the Mayans wrote on there primitive calendar >.>

[Mrred]

Well if you are going by the Bible then it says that no one will know the time or the place when the Lord will come again. So if your a Christian then you must not believe this stupid thing. The Mayans could have easily stopped the calender back in 2007, or 1978, or any other time. I think this is just a stupid theory that people have used to explain the fact that we are destroying our own race. Naturally humans will want to make this 2012 thing it's scapegoat, trying to make all these things happening to us a sign of the end of the world. It makes me personally sad when I head people believing it.

[HillBillyWilly]

2012 is a flat out SCAM. The world will end when Jesus returns to Earth, but no one can predict that!

[Continuum]

It's just the end of a calendar, no biggie. It just means we throw that thought away and buy a new one, yeah, like we did in 2000. Blame the director of 2012 (what was his name?) for staining some myth and turning it into one of his disaster porn movies. I just don't buy it, the idea of ending the world in some way no one knows is just too radical. The myth didn't tell us that the world's gonna end. However, it does give us a clue of great change for humanity, a new age, a new beginning, etc. I predict that on December 21 2012 we will colonize the moon, eat some food, watch some TV, wait for the quake, disappoint ourselves, and uh party? yeaah, good times, good times.

[Kohta]

The Mayans didn't say it was the end of our world but it is the end of our world as we know it so maybe our mindset will change or something.

[relapse]

guess we'll find out XD

[Hollywood]

2012 is a load of bullshit, just like 2000.

Who says the Mayan's knew what they were talking about? How could they predict the future, but us far more advanced humans can't?

The world will end whenever it damned well feels like it, there's no way we can predict it, just like we will never know exactly how old the universe is, or how it came about.

[Wtficus]

the world could end today, it could end tomorrow, if we're going to worry of all the things that COULD happen to us, that's your choice, but your just wasting your time

[Giles]

the world could end today, it could end tomorrow, if we're going to worry of all the things that COULD happen to us, that's your choice, but your just wasting your time

Yes, but the point of this thread was to discuss the theory about the world 'ending' in 2012.

[zebra_]

Apparently the mayan calendar has been right about everything.. now it says that the world goes bye-bye in 2012.. they made a movie and all that stuff

Who believes this??

I dont. My parents said that everybody said the world would end a bunch of times in the past.. and look at that.. we are still here.

Does anybody have different theories?
just a general discussion :yes:

keep in mind i dont know much about this topic....

i think its stupid, they say the world is going to end based on a calendar. perhaps the people who made this calendar stopped at december 21, 2012 simply because it was pointless to look that far into the future.

how bout this: ur not going to name ur grandchilds son or daughter. ur not going to make a list of groceries for your great great great great grandchildren. some people dont even plan two days ahead. why should they make a never-ending calendar?? (not never-ending...... but yeah)

[bluestarkidd]

Like I said before, "With the way things are going today, we will be lucky if we make it to mid 2011"....rotf...

but seriously, who really who knows when the world will end, we can't predict that. I think society will eventually crumble and collapse, we already see a lot of resource scarcity, but that could take 20 or 100 years.

However, I do know our current lifestyle is not sustainable (especially economically if your in the US) so something here will change, and as much as people claim that they want change, when it happens everyone will be complaining.

[josh93]

they thought 2000 was the end it didnt happen so no not really they say it adds up with everything that everthing is going to hell. which i dont belive it.

[Commander Thor]

No, no sane person thought that 2000 was the end.
Some rouge politician who knew little to nothing about computers, and how computers work thought that computers wouldn't be able to handle going from 1999 to 2000 in it's calendar, while every computer expert said otherwise, but they were silenced.
It was really a mass panic over nothing.

Same with 2012 really, mass panic (Well soon to be mass panic) over nothing, because people don't understand how the multiple Mayan calendars work.

[pixie1234]

i think it is just aload of bull, wasnt it supposed to end loads of times before??

ahh well, so what if maybe it is correct, its only the end of the world, maybe it will be quick :L no pain at all?

and id just like to say, if it is correct that means i spent my whole bloody life in school and im gunna die before i completed it. well thats aload of $hit luck :/ :L xx

[WaahZombie]

the world will not end in 2012.
itd be surprising if it did.

[Giles]

Ha, Ashleigh. I never thought of life like that before. Ah well. At least I'll of done the hardest so far but not started the even more difficult schooling :)

[Asylum]

oh no we are all going to die!! *rolls eyes*

[Giles]

oh no we are all going to die!! *rolls eyes*

Care to give your thoughts?

[Paladino]

The Mayan Calendar doesnt say the world is going to go bye-bye, 2012 is as far as the mayans could count in terms of years. The only thing that will happen in 2012 is that this Mayan calendar will finish and a new one will begin for the mayans the start of a new era. The whole world ending in 2012 is just people over reacting to what the mayans said, so there is nothing to worry about.

The world was supposed to end in 2000 when the new millenium came in and it didnt. The world was supposed to end on the 6th of June 2006, apparantly the devil was supposed to arise because of the 3 number 666 and it didnt happen, so the chances of the world ending in 2012 are null and void.

Also the world is predicted to be ending in 2036 because a mega mega astroid is ament to be crashing down on us, that will wipe out all life forms, but if you ask me thats aload of shit.

The world was supposed to end in 2008 when the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) was turned on, it was supposed to create a black hole and the earth would be sucked into it and it got turned on and nothing happened, just a load of hype, even Steven Hawkins said it wouldnt happen and he is the smartest man alive.

[MichaelAdams1993]

Ok this is how I see it. The myans existed a very long time ago, perhaps the reason their calendar ended is simply because they didn't care what was going to happen that far in advance. If I was making a calendar to predict events in the future I would reach a point where I too decided there was no point anymore because I was already so far ahead. Did you really expect them to make a calendar that went on and on and on. They chose to stop their, doesn't mean time does too!

[RockstarRocks]

i think it may or may not end. yea they said it was going to end many times and it dident but i think its gonna happen sometime in r lifetime nothing last forever they keep saying it because its gonna happen sometime all i no is nothing last forever and look how people treat the world not good. If we treat the world not good it wont last just like if we dont treat r selfes good. my motto is if there is no earth there is no u so start saveing.

[magikarpy]

The problem is that people believe everything but they're too lazy to get knowledge about the subject. The world will end so lets believe it but lets not try to find out about it.

[SafeAuto]

The world could end on December 21st, 2012 (at least by our standards). It only takes one "press of a button" and the whole world jumps in a nuclear war. But other than that, I don't hear much of any space rocks or surprise black holes coming our way...

[The Dark Lord]

There is as much chance of the world ending by 2012 as there is America electing a black President...
Oh wait we are fucked

[Kaius]

The whole world ending in 2012 is just people over reacting to what the mayans said, so there is nothing to worry about.

Exactly my thoughts. There are many different superstitions, but at the end of the day half of them are hyped up by media and so forth. Its like a big game of chinese whispers.

[Ashooo]

2012 is real and the world will end
http://norhymeorreason.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/2012_movie_poster2a.jpg
this movie says so....

[Giles]

That film is so terrible.
Plus it doesn't follow the Mayan calender at all.

[Paladino]

2012 is real and the world will end

Its a good film yeah, dont get me wrong.

Nothing that happened in the film will happen on the 21st of December 2012, its all a load of bollocks.

[wtrocks]

I believe that reality is just the dream of some little boy/girl, and 2012 is when that little boy or girl awakens, eradicating all of reality...

Lol, not really.

But I do believe that something will happen on 2012. The Mayans were amazing astronomers and mathematicians, and it is said that 12/21/2012 is when the planets align in a way that hasn't happened for over a thousand years. In fact, some theorists speculate that this alignment will have an adverse effect on the Earth's magnetic fields. Some say it's when a giant meteor will hit the Earth. Or perhaps it truly is God(Allah/Shiva/other gods/who knows?)'s will. I believe that the planets aligning will have some affect on the Earth, but, I guess we have to wait.


Steven Hawkins said it wouldnt happen and he is the smartest man alive.
So just because a really smart person says it won't happen, means that it won't? If he suddenly said that all cows would turn into zombies, and that we should kill 'em all, would you be the first to kill one? (Lol, bad example)


Ok this is how I see it. The myaans existed a very long time ago, perhaps the reason their calendar ended is simply because they didn't care what was going to happen that far in advance. If I was making a calendar to predict events in the future I would reach a point where I too decided there was no point anymore because I was already so far ahead. Did you really expect them to make a calendar that went on and on and on. They chose to stop their, doesn't mean time does too!
The Mayans were probably the greatest astronomers, mathematicians and much more. They've predicted so many things that have come true in both their time, and our time. They, using methods unknown to us, even predicted their own demise! For them to suddenly get lazy would be an utter disgrace.

How can anyone, anyone, say that nothing will happen? I mean sure, it's most likely that nothing will happen! But why should you believe that?

The next time someone says "That's stupid," or "That's BS," or anything of the sorts, I ask you to explain yourself. Why is it stupid? Why is it BS? Show to me the hard evidence that proves you right.
---
Yeah, I know, I'm probably making too big a deal about this, but I don't care! =P

[Jess]

Now you made me think that the world WILL end

[INFERNO]

So just because a really smart person says it won't happen, means that it won't? If he suddenly said that all cows would turn into zombies, and that we should kill 'em all, would you be the first to kill one? (Lol, bad example)


The irony is that this follows your argument. You asserted that the Mayans were brilliant and so they're correct that something awful will happen, the planets will align and so forth. However, as you have just said, just because they were very intelligent people, their claims are not certain to be correct. The Mayan calender ends at that particular date but the reason for it ending is unknown, which is where the media jumped in and assumed that since the calender ends, it means death for all. People began theorizing this is true but have no basis for their theories.


How can anyone, anyone, say that nothing will happen? I mean sure, it's most likely that nothing will happen! But why should you believe that?

So we should believe something will happen for what reason? Something is better than nothing? Believing nothing bad will happen is boring?

To answer why I believe nothing will happen, quite simply, there's no evidence to suggest the world will end. The Mayan calender ends but the reason for it ending is unspecified. Perhaps the planets will align and perhaps something bad will happen on Earth but to say the world will end for that reason is just the same as saying an angry alien race will come and blast away our planet on that day or a wormhole will form on that day, sucking Earth into it and bringing us elsewhere. The idea that something negatively affect the Earth due to supernatural forces on that day is altogether an unfounded assumption.

[HillBillyWilly]

yeah i think 2012 is somewhat of a scam put out by all the recent End of the World Movies (THe Day the Earth stood still, 2012) that is giving people the idea that just because the Mayans stopped recording time, it HAS to mean something bad.


Maybe they stopped because the Spanish came and they couldn't continue counting because they were slaughtered and no one knew how to record the time anymore since all the people with that knowledge were killed.

[ThomasB.]

A Dunno... I really don't think the world will just end.. They say it will be an asteroid or summin, but if it was to happen, people will have it blown into piesces and then we will all be fine.. Just because some stuupid calendar says summin doesn't always mean bad.. It might mean GOOD!! ;)

[Disco Jones]

who the hell is throwing around the idea that the mayans were super-geniuses that were right about everything so when they decide to stop writing days into the calendar that's already pretty far ahead the world will end for some reason

because that is just silly goosery

[deadpie]

who the hell is throwing around the idea that the mayans were super-geniuses that were right about everything so when they decide to stop writing days into the calendar that's already pretty far ahead the world will end for some reason

because that is just silly goosery

Everything this guy says is amazing.

[Jess]

A Dunno... I really don't think the world will just end.. They say it will be an asteroid or summin, but if it was to happen, people will have it blown into piesces and then we will all be fine.. Just because some stuupid calendar says summin doesn't always mean bad.. It might mean GOOD!! ;)


Maybe something good

The world will not end in 2012.
End of.

[Decapitated]

It says in the bible that NO ONE knows when the world will come to an end. Only the big man upstairs knows.

[Watta Tem]

NO one knows the future!!!

I don’t think it will end in 2012. If you believe in the Christian view of creationism then you probably believe that no man knows the time of the end. If you believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution then you probably believe that cataclysmic events have happened many times before. It may have destroyed most life but the world did not end.

[Taylorxbox]

People have been predicting the end of time since the beginning of time!!

Of course its not going to end. Just because the people that wrote the calendar say its going to end, doesnt mean it is going to end.

It will be a bright and sunny day and nothing will happen.

[AutoPlay]

Im not sure i belive there is something going to happen

but i dont think its the end of the world

[Tnelson]

They may be right about the end to world as we know it today, a start of a new one in our life time. The world will still be here we'll still be alive but there will be severe changes of what we know. But no i dont think the world is going to be blown to bits and people dead

That's an opinion, he should be free to state his if you can state yours. Don't get so pissy about other people believing things you don't. I'm certainly not shoving it down your throat, why do you try to shove your opinion down ours? Live and let live.

Anyway, the Mayan empire was powerful, true. It is also true that they were intelligent. But I don't think it will all end there. Nobody knows when it'll all go, we just go about our daily business. It's the same way with death, you don't expect it to come, you don't know when you'll get in an accident or get shot. You just live and you die, cause and effect.

well... not really since it'll be on the 21st of December, the Winter solstice :lol:

[Drekkin]

I can't say or speculate whether the worl will end on December 21, 2012.

Sure, we have been fearing the predictions that the Mayans have predicted will arise.

It was predicted that the world was supposed to end in the beginning of the new millenium, 2000. It was predicted that the world was supposed to end on June 6, 2006. It didn't. Twice. I know somebody stated this before, but when you view it at a general perspective, you sort of get the feeling that maybe these dates are really, just numbers.

I don't know whether or not the world will end in 2012, but what I can say is that we really can't say for sure. Maybe, the minute midnight strikes on that day, we will all be gone. Maybe, the minute midnight strikes on that day, and the next minute will pass. Then the next, and soon enough the day will have already ended.

They couldn't have possibly decided that on that specific day the world should end. It's pretty crazy. Who knows? Maybe it's not.

I'm not really going to stress out or fuck my mind with that permeating thought. We'll all know when the day comes.

Compared to Europeans at the time they where retards

They were better at different things. Perhaps they didn't have gunpowder, but they were skilled with architecture and, of course, their calendar. The path of the sun, the seasons the patterns in nature, etc. And by the way, it's were, not where. Where refers to location.

[Sith Lord 13]

All I'm gonna say is I'm still gonna do my Christmas shopping that year.

[Perseus]

Not really. They knew more about the solar system than the Europeans could wish. Sure, they sacrificed people to their gods, but it doesn't make them dumb.

I dont think it will end anytime in 2012.....but when it does happen, I think we will die because the sun would be gone and we would all choke on CO2.

Stars don't explode in 2 years. ._.
The sun has an estimated 5billion years of life left....
And when the sun goes, we won't suffocate on CO2, it will go supernova and swallow Earth as a whole. You'd die of radiation far before suffocation.

The Earth will be engulfed by the Super Red Giant before that happens anyway.

[Magus]

The Earth will be engulfed by the Super Red Giant before that happens anyway.

There won't be anything living by then. Everything will be nothing.

we would be long burned to the ground before that happens

[HalfDeadHippie]

Although, based on all that^^, you already get the idea..I'd like to put my two cents in. The Myans didn't say "the world would end"..more like, they thought of it as a new beginning..I recall, last summer, some Ancient tribe said a we'd experiance a total eclipse in July of 2009..but hey, we're all still here!

Yeah, I kinda know that...

[ChicagoBlackhawksFan]

The world will not end in 2012. At least I hope not. I do want to life and get married and not die at the age of 20.

[georgiamay]

i dont think the world will end in 2012. i mean, wasn't it the meyans who "predicted" this? the people who have predicted a lot of things that HAVEN'T happened??

and even if it does, i dont see why everyone's moaning about it. everyone and everything will be gone, so no one will be missing anything.

[Nichole]

The calendar only stopped. It did not say anything about the world ending.
