A bunch of jack wad dumb fucks predict that the world, as we know it, will come to an end.

Do you believe it?
If not, what do you think will happen? Will it just be another normal day?

Discuss.

I for one think It's a load of shit. They also thought the world would end in 1998, 2000, 2004, 6/6/6, and guess what. I'm still fucking here.

I think this whole thing is a sham for corporations to sell as many "end-of-the-world" survival products, I.E - Canned goods, gasoline, flashlights, bottled water. It's nothing but a big money making gimmick. It's all a load of shit.

I think that it won't end personally. Why? Because, were the Mayans supposed to map out EVERY day for human existence? No. They easily just could have stopped, the person in charge may have passed away, who knows.

This is complete bullshit. Otherwise, corporations would be advertising it. The end of the world is portrayed by the media as an apocalyptic event. Unavoidable. Nothing will save you, especially not canned goods, gasoline, flashlights, or bottled water.

[Sogeking]

There will always be people that will make "end of the world dates" and will cling to any evidence that proves them right. 12/21/12 is no different.

[Black Eight]

The Mayan calendar is supposed to reset on December 12, 2012, not end. Even if the calendar ended it might have been misinterpreted as the end of the world.

[The Joker]

There was a huge thread on this a while back.

[scuba steve]

Lawl the survival goods sounds like a good conspiracy too, but yea the whole event is bullshit.

PS why did people say the world would end in 1998 and 2004?

[pretender15]

It won't happen.

To be honest, I can't quite remember, but I could look it up, then again i don't feel like it.

Probably just a bunch of bull shit. Same as all the other ones.

True that, i'll google it if i feel like rumaging through spam sites of conspiracy theory's or the like.

[Dunce]

It wont happen. The end could happen any time, we cant predict it. It's just the same creepy people who said the world would end in 1998, 2000, 2006. There's one guy, who apparently predicted Hitler and a bunch of other stuff, I cant remember his name. but he also predicted a nuclear war in 1996, and that never happened. Point being, I think he's predicting every possible disaster and people don't pay attention to the stuff that never happened.
I'm still dreading it though, the night before it's supposed to happen I'll be a nervous wreck.

[Peace God]

God I hope so. The apocalypse turns me on.

[Fiction]

Seriously, some of my family thought that the end of the world was a few years ago. They couldn't be bothered to buy a new car because it was the end of the world soon anyway...
yeah i know, I have crazy family DON'T JUDGE!
But the point is there are so many predictions of the end of the world by so many people, why would any of them be true?

[Jess]

not gonna happen. nonsense.

[Amnesiac]

Complete and utter bullshit, but still entertaining nonetheless. However, it's always saddening to see people who actually believe this stuff.

I do actually expect there to be riots on the 21st of December 2012 by some less than intelligent people, the types of people I hang around with included - you know the type that still believe that man walked with the dinosaurs.

[Kiko]

I still don't completely understand why people are freaking out.
It's been made apparent that the Mayan calendar is based around astronomical events that will repeat themselves when the calendar starts over. Our current calendar ends and starts over too... You don't see people freaking out on December 31

You see? I'm not surprised. There are always people stupid enough to believe anything pop culture (or religion) throw at them. I'll be watching the riots on December 21st and laughing at the people who get arrested.

[xXWatEvsXxXx]

In my opinoin the world IS NOT coming to an end. if it was there would be so much more proof of it. the movie was just telling us a fake little story, and none of the facts add up.

im sure we will find out more about this situation as the date aproaches. but i wont be one of those people running around screaming about the world coming to an end in december of 2012

[Dunce]

There's sooo many theories about what will happen and thats kinda creepy... but c'mon, no one, absolutely no one can predict it.
I googled 'reasons why apocalypse 2012 is fake' just for the laugh and it said that scientists are saying that there are two things they think may happen, if anything.
One of them is the flares and radiation from the sun will intensify for a while, but that happens every few years.
The other is that the earth will line up with the centre of the galaxy, which basically only happens every million or so years, haha. But nothing will happen, even if we do line up :L
Just shows how people can blow things out of proportion

[Andrew0017]

The world's not going to end. Get real, people. If anything, this symbolizes a new beginning, not the end.

[Sage]

If anything, this symbolizes a new beginning, not the end.
There's nothing to suggest that will happen either.

[Magus]

The world ended when Friedrich Nietzsche died.

[Dunce]

I can't wait til the day after. All those people who've made the websites and youtube videos about it will have some serious excuses to pull out of their butts :D

im really not sure what to beleive these days o_O

[Philleeep]

Its Bull Fucking Shit

[red_dragon]

Do you believe it? No I do not

The reason is that no one can know when it will end except God. I know that the rapture has not happened, since I'm still here. After that Christ will reign for a thousand years and than Armageddon. After that happens the world will end. So until the saints are taken home, you can't even think of the end of the world.

And you believe this end of the world theory over 2012, considering both have equally low amounts of evidence actually supporting them?

It will be like any other normal day in the world. People will be doing their Christmas shopping and going about their daily business. Nothing more, nothing less. Sunrise, sunset. End of.

Because your proof of still being a walking breathing sack of meat and water says so much about the human race :rolleyes:.

Ha...haha...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Kid, are you serious? A corporation scam!? Oh God, that's the best one I've heard yet. Gotta write that down. Seriously, this is what you believe? End of times means END OF TIMES, this means no living thing will be left on this planet. Is this such a hard concept to grasp? I think not.


PS why did people say the world would end in 1998 and 2004?

Well, it wasn't 1998, it was 1999. Y2K and all the buzz that technology would just stop working. Years of preparing went into preventing it from happening. I'm not sure about 2004 as I don't remember any type of freaking out or nut jobs being street corner preachers.

To be honest, I can't quite remember, but I could look it up, then again i don't feel like it.

Really? You really thought you could come into Ramblings of the Wise, receive a reply to your thread, and not even bother to look up on information? This is why we can't have things, exactly why. Seriously, if you don't have back up information, stop using "I don't feel like it" as an excuse. This is a debate forum, not a place where you can post and run.

Its Bull Fucking Shit

That isn't going to happen either.

[KylieEatWorld]

If you pay attention to aztec mythology it's the end of an era not the world. Which only means a new era is beginning right around the time of the next U.S. election. :D

Jesus, what do they teach you kids in public schools? Mythology is an ancient study on the beliefs of society. Sort of like religious studies. Greek mythology centers around the Greeks, Aztec mythology centers around the Aztecs, etc.. It's not a who it's a what.

It cant end anyway tbh because I have RSVP'd to attend 01/01/2013 on Facebook >.>

I don't believe a word of it. Maybe the mayans died before they could finish the calender. And weren't there loads of other "end of the world" predictions a few years ago that never happened?

Even if I'm wrong and the world really does end (which it won't), I don't really care. Everyone else will be dead as well, it's not like I'll be missing out on anything.

[Grid]

They're idiots, nothing bad will happen.

They ran out of stone.

Call them idiots, sure. They were among the first ones to know there is a zero. To have an advanced agriculture and architecture before the Europeans did. And astronomy that people didn't see centuries later. Think before you type, man.

[Sugaree]

The Mayans were no idiots. By all accounts, their civilization matches to the Greeks and Romans. Without them, do you realize that astronomy wouldn't be as advanced as it is today? Without the Mayans, mapping the stars would be damn near impossible. Call them idiots all you want, say nothing bad will happen. Until 2012, we won't know what will happen. Everything said so far is just a shot in the dark.

[Dorsum Oppel]

Bitchplz.

Let's set this straight. In the mayan cosmology, there are two forms of calendar. The calendar round, and the long count. The calender round, called the haab, was used as a 365 day long means of tracking time for domestic and mundane purposes. The second form, called a long count, was use to keep track of cosmological events.

In long count, 1 solar day is a k'in.
20 k'in make 1 winal. ktch'Winal (plural) were ceremonial days among the clergy.
18 winal constitute a tun ktch'tun were a widely observed event among the mayan empire. A ktch'tun is made up of approximately 360 days.
20 of those made a K'atun. And finally, 20 K'atun make B'ak'tun.

The B'ak'tun, at a length of 144000 solar days was an enormous festival lasting for days, as with every B'ak'tun a new god (piktun, kalabtun, k'inchiltun, or alautun) takes ownership and command of the universe. 12/12/12 marks the start of the 14th B'ak'tun. Not the end of the world, even according to the mayans.

I thought it was 12/21/12? or maybe 12/23?

im not sure tbh :/
hopefully not but its supposed to be based on on some ancient scrolls
which everything they have allreayd said have come true ...
hopefully not ... but if it does then im just going to die then arnt ii ;)
hahaa x

[SwimTech]

ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. It is when the Mayan Calendar restarts, NOT ends. Geese, they wrote it thousands of years ago and had to end it sometime o.0

After all, we made it through all the other "ends of the world"

[foreveryoung22]

Well, apparently it's because the Mayan Calendar ends in 2012, but hellooooo people!! They couldn't just continue making them! They had to quit eventually! So who cares about the Mayan Calendar? That's what this whole poop is all about. It makes me mad... :/ The world is not going to end yet. And if it does... I'm going to be happy with what I've done so far in my lifetime. :)

On December 21st, 2012, I'm going to watch the movie 2012 and have a right laugh with my friends.

[thebigLB]

It won't happen. Sure, its a novel idea that the world will suddenly end in an apocalyptic fashion, but that doesnt happen anywhere but in Hollywood. However, it would be HILARIOUS if some tv or radio station did like CBS did with "War of the Worlds", and broadcasted a sham apocalypse. Or if a bunch of networks worked together to achieve the same goal, causing a general panic and then the rest of us would laugh our azzes off at the idiots who believed it :D

[gingeylover14]

although the myans were an advanced civilization for their time in history i dont belive they had any way of knowing when the world will end

[embers]

2012 isn't an 'It's going to happen' movie like The Day After Tomorrow. It's a disaster movie, and a fun one at that.

[Bluesman]

2 words. Bull. Shit. Just because the Mayans' (I think it was the Mayans at least) calender ended on 12/12/12 why should that mean the world will end? We'll see a ton of people stock up on bread and milk and probably a huge wave of violence, and then it will be 12/13/12. Nothing will happen.

[Richi07]

Here, be more skeptical:

http://www.2012hoax.org

[ponygon101]

The world isn't going to end. A loop hole about the 2012 thing is the end is supposed to begin at 11:11 or something. But, with time zones, when it's 11:11 in one place, it's some other time somewhere else. So, how can it work? The point is, it can't work and it's never going to happen.

Mayan calender resets, not "ends"... but there is an something ending, this story haha
