2012 : Enlightenment or Doom?
Who cares?

If the shit hits the fan then speculation doesn't matter because you'll either be toast or in so much neck deep crap that nothing else will matter and if nothing happens then bugger me I'll actually have to buy my Mum a birthday present.

not only was this a mayan prediction, but the scholar and philosopher nostrodamus came up with the same conclusions, there are also many links to this story in the bible code, but i personally heard of it about 3 years ago and from the what ive read i find it hard to believe and find it to be just a load of rubbish, and cant wait for the date so i can ring one of these people up and laugh in their faces!! :)

Great way to scare the kids sweetheart. I'll think you'll find that if the world ends then there is nothing to be worried about because there will be no loved ones to leave behind, no places to see or things to do. Most people are scared of dying because of the things they leave behind. With everyone dying at the same there will be nothing left.

It's just bullshit in my opinion. MAybe a number above 2012 hadn't been invented or something.

Didnt Nostradamus predict the world would end in 2012 as well....

But personally i think its a load of rubbish if it does happen i hope its quick and painless
Nostradamus' predictions go well into the 3xxx years, apparently, so according to him the world CAN'T end in 2012 because his predictions go to 3797 or some shit. But if you've ever read Nostradamus' actual original works, you'll know that they are such vague statements that they can be interpreted any old how anyway. A typical Nostradamus verse goes something like this:

Nostradamus said:
On the third day beyond the grey hill
Three doves will rise toward the great tower
And the wicked one will come from the north
To vanquish the beast in the dark wood
Of course, that crap could mean anything. But after any major world event happens, Nostradamus afficionadoes go scouring through his works (hundreds and hundreds of stanzas just as vague as the one above) and then say stuff like "ah, obviously this one here refers to 9/11".

As for the Mayans, they know a lot about astrology and 2012 is probably just some great confluence of planets or some crap, so they thought they'd wrap it up when everything was aligned neatly. And the Chinese also had astrology pretty well sussed too so the I-Ching lines up as well, fancy that. Whoopee-shit. It doesn't mean anything. Although a super-spectac mondo nuclear war or cosmic space-rain of doom would be all kinds of awesome and would look rad on YouTube it simply ain't gonna happen.

I think the fact the Mayan's didn't see there own destruction coming voids their predictions of any more events, heh.

Interesting about the Chinese thing though.

I suspect that December 2012 there is a long orbit comet on route that'll pass by Earth - earlier societies viewed comets as either signs of destruction or signs of change.

On December 21, 2012, people will realize how bad they fucked up when they re-elected Obama. OR it will be the biggest party on earth celebrating his departure.

On a side note, Mayans also believed in sacrificing people for many different reasons. So whatever they believe what was going to happen at that time, might not happen at all. But like other have stated, its a cycle, so everything repeats after that point. All this doomsayer bull is just more scare tactics for ratings and hits for all forms of media.

Ah so there is an alignment. And yeah, there is no affect aside from being mildly interesting.

Bullshit, you know how many times the end of the world has been predicted and didn't happen?
The year 1000 or Y2K to name a few examples.

The truth is nothing is gonna happen in 2012, not Enlightenment, not Doom, not anything.
the year 1000 and Y2K had nothing to do with the Mayans though. Those years were picked, because they 'seemed' to be monumental.


I, however, hope that something incredibly awesome will happen in 2012.
EDIT: Fixed date.

Alright. Let's talk a bit about the Mayans. They had a Calendar, the "added crap to it" and then they all got exterminated. No man ever tough that maybe they stopped at 2012 because, you know, THEY ALL FUCKING DIED?

What's so special about the Mayans anyway? If they were so smart then why didn't they predict that the Spaniards would have wiped them all out?

I went to see The Omen on 6/6/06 with my buddies. It was a fun time had by all.

That should accurately depict how much faith I have in prophecies of doom for the world :D

Maybe they just got tired of writing the calender? They said to each other one day "Ya know what, this is far enough I think, lets take a little break!"

Prehaps its another golden age of Cybertron?

Or maybe the Mayans couldn't be arsed to add more years?
