2012 will be a dangerous year

- Start date
Mayan Calender Maker ( Translated ): Dammit, I'm really tired of making dates for 3,000 years from now, fuck it. I'll finish 12-21-12, cause it's a cool pattern, but them I'm done.
Don't forget 1666 when people throughout Europe freaked right the hell out because they thought the apocalypse was nigh. Makes me wonder in a semi-serious way if people thought that 1777 was an especially lucky year.Plurralbles said:
Doomsday prophecies have been around since there have been people. 2012 is no different than any other year.
I was thinking about this the other day. I thought...what if a disconnected city (Manhattan or and island in hawaii or something) were overrun by crazy people? and they like, got rid of the ways back to other lands (bombed bridges or something) and pretty much killed whoever and took whatever they wanted. that would suck.
Nah, as Obama's term winds down, people will be excited for the election. I imagine we will have the same peaceful transition of power as always. People are always complaining about how polarized and hostile our politics are, but the system has been way more polarized and way more hostile in the past.Yoshemo said:
I'm worried about that what happened with Y2K will happen again. I don't understand why people kill themselves if they think the world will end anyways. I would rather die during the apocalypse then kill myself, at least then I would be able to brag to the guys up in heaven that I was killed by a giant meteor, and not by a rope or a revolver.
California breaking off and sinking into the sea, Washington state exploding and, motion-controllers being mandatory with no option to play using the standard controller. Living in DC, I will probably have to put up with floods, riots, murderers and, possible tsunamis. Who knows; by then my home could be beach-front ... and covered in ash maybe
12.21.12 has been disproven. Like, its not gonna happen. I was once terrified about it, but i looked it up and within a couple weeks i was the biggest sceptic that i know. Its pathetic that anyone can believe it after doing any kind of reserch.
Granted. Its not imposible that the world will end on that day, its just not any bigger than any other day. There are a couple possibilities. The super-volcano in Yellowstone or wherever might erupt, but its a mystery when. A solar flare occuring during a peak cycle of storms on the suns surface knocking out the power grids for years, but there is no proof that will happen and if it did it can be prevented, and the poles switching, but again, no proof it will happen.
The whole thing is a scam if you ask me. Science fiction writers, discredited scientists, and attention whores are using this to make money ( look on pretty much every single pro-2012 website, there is a spot that is very obvious to notice that asks for donations/ asking to buy their product.)
That being said. Its really fun to talk about it with people who do believe it. Just to hear the rediculous things they say.

But yeah, 2012 should be an interesting year.
Best case, a whole bunch of idiots march into the sea, and we get to divvy up their stuff.
Worst case, the pole shift leaves us exposed to cosmic radiation which kills all our electronics. Right back to the steam age, if the resulting panic doesn't push us all the way back to the Medieval era.
I always said I wanted the world-ending meteor to hit me in the face.GameOverGoblin said:
Then I read that the infrared radiation from the (re-?)entry heat would burn me to cinders before the rock even got close to the surface.
But if I had an asbestos suit, I'd probably survive long enough to at least be crushed by the pressure wave.
FTR: if anyones worried/ wondering about the pole shift theory, i found this website that debunks pretty much every major 2012 theory.

Then come back from the dead and save humanity from themselves, then join his heavenly father 40 days after its resurrection.MiracleOfSound said:
Yeah. It's definitely a year to look forward to.
