12/21/2012, What do you guys think. Doomsday? Options

[njccmd2002]

Many religions, calendars and prophecies point to Dec. 21, 2012 as the end of the world. Is this another "Theory of the Apocalypse" that will come and go like others we have seen, or is this one that we should be paying attention to?

what dou you think.

[supershannon77]

I can't wait to find out.

[forkee]

isnt that just the mayans?

[manphibian]

About 10 of these predicted doomsdays pass every year.

I wouldn't put money on it.

[Supersprynt]

Hogwash.

[Dr_Tweak]

Sweet. The end of the world again.

[Jared95]

garbage.

[RickJamesBish]

Of course it's Doomsday, that's right after a new president gets elected to succeed Obama.

[jesterwr217]

A good possibility something can happen, but the world will never end in my opinion. Man will find a way to survive on another planet before it happens. If anything, it is very likely something could happen where 1/3 of the earth's population could be destroyed. I can see it happening, I have had many dreams of such, just not a time.

1 dream that stood out to me had to do with a star blowing up and a red glow in the sky with rocks falling to the earth creating giant holes in the ground. The funny part (because many of you would laugh at this) was that many groups of little black pigs came out from those holes and ran off in different directions in packs. I assumed in my dream they were demons, because no one else noticed them.

My cousin who doesn't share the same religious beliefs as I do (actually he is agnostic), has mentioned something about a red sun or planet that is red from something (he is very into science) and his mother who is just like him also had a dream of this Red Sun. Then again, anything is possible. I dunno. Sometimes we like to freak ourselves out when life is boring, sometimes things really happen that allow us to be thankful we are still alive. It is all in the eyes of the living.

if you look into the history of the mayans where this myth origionates you learn that they were fncken good astronomers (sp) thousands of years ago they could predict when the solstice would occur and other things like that which are completly accurate even today. Put it this way, they knew that the earth wasnt the centre of the earth and the earth wasnt flat long before westerners.

will it be the end of the world. no

[Batman722]

crap, I better buy a tarp to put over the car for that day so it won't get messed up.

[Remy]

Sorry to ruin the suprise but doomsday passed already.....

[njccmd2002]

crap, I better buy a tarp to put over the car for that day so it won't get messed up.

so far this is the best response.

yeah, i just happend to see this, and my nephew commented on this. I will believe it when i see it.

[tonytutino]

i think if we were to have a ''doomsday'' it would have happened on 6/6/06

and even then i was 99% sure nothing would happen. its just not logical.

[Supersprynt]

You were a full 1% uncertain that the devil wasn't going to end the world on that day?

[99Celica]

we're definitely not short on sarcasm in this thread

[xs94st]

i just flushed doomsday down the toilet.

[malpaso]

I can't wait to find out.

[3WayStunna]

Lets be honest with ourselves people....we all know the world as we know it will end on 2012, we jsut have to get prepared...now either one of two things will happen on that date...

The LHC, will spawn a huge portal into a demonic dimension, spewing fourth aliens and monsters of the such. At that point were all fuked unless someone with a crowbar comes along

The other possiblitly is a ZOMBIE-POCOLYPSE, in which we CAN survive if we band together and prepare now.....the weak ones we must be flushed out right now, because they wont be able to run or hide from the zombies...and the Old must also perish now, or were screwed later...I look at it like this, its either them or us!!!!

I already am prepared, with a bunker located on the High Ground ON AN ISLAND, a couple boxes of munitions, some radios , beds for 20 ppl, etc.. And ive started pilots school, so when the zombies come, i can fly myself and others to safety..

[soulshadow]

If anything Robots will take over the world or some stupid alien Race comes down and eats us all.

[96bluevert]

You all watch too many movies.....

If the world comes to an end in 4 years, it'll be because the human race will bring upon it's own destruction somehow (just my opinion )

[Fate]

well it's a friday so i'll most likely be drunk.

[garin]

crap, I better buy a tarp to put over the car for that day so it won't get messed up.

agreed but no one is allowed to cover up their honda civic.

[CelicaST_CALI]

well it's a friday so i'll most likely be drunk.

[joehernandez]

i do believe in that of the mayans......
the best calendar ever made by humans,,,,,
they predicted so many things,,, or all of them.
i dont know what will happen,, the world would not really end...
probably something or someone will change humas,, the way they are or behave...
thats just my opinion

[mikew04]

Didn't they predict that an unknown people with 'fire sticks' would destroy their civilization?
Um, the spanish with guns?

Either way, unless im mistaken, it's an end of their calander, not a doomsday prophecy.

[joehernandez]

calendars dont have ends?
do they?

[mikew04]

well mine stops at december

[joehernandez]

hahaha
but i mean, it starts over next day after december,, its a loop

[xredjokerx]

crap, I better buy a tarp to put over the car for that day so it won't get messed up.

BEST QUOTE EVER. (for this kinda thread) lol

[playr158]

Sweet. The end of the world again.

I love throwing dooms day parties......

[D-Man]

Agreed

Agreed x4

Sweet. The end of the world again.

Agreed x5

So if the world is to end... We need to have a checklist...

1) Get as much P***y as possible
2) Cover our cars (doomsday is no reason to ride rough)
3) Stock up on smokes & booze. (there may not be a gas station to run to during the night)
4) DON'T buy a new calender. They wont be any good. But they'll still be on sale on e-bay. They come free with the purchase of a Turbonator
5) DO NOT throw out your decorations; they'll be good in a few more years... that wont exist... because the calender stoped... We'll have to find a new way of telling the date. (i was really comfortable with the current system)

Maybe we can use pictures and colors to describe the new dates...

Have you not played Fallout 3? We survive doomsday.

I'm a believer in the Church of Atom now.

[GriffGirl]

As a nice jewish girl, I am here to tell you that a) we run on a different calendar than the traditional Christian (Gregorian) calendar, and that the year is 5769*. This means that I could have told you over 3,000 years ago that the world is NOT going to end in 2012.



*The year number on the Jewish calendar represents the number of years since creation, calculated by adding up the ages of people in the Bible back to the time of creation. However, this does not necessarily mean that the universe has existed for only 5700 years as we understand years. Many Orthodox Jews will readily acknowledge that the first six "days" of creation are not necessarily 24-hour days (indeed, a 24-hour day would be meaningless until the creation of the sun on the fourth "day").

pretty deep, If you believe that. But a damn good point. How did they know that it was 4 "days"?

[njccmd2002]

ok so its decided. this is just not true. no worries.

Yeah... it taught me that even though i loose power for a few hours, i wont have to goto work for a week and still get paid for it

It also taught me that 12% of the nations internet has to log in thru servers right here in Houston. We affected 18 states by not having power

[FreddyTheOthaMea...]

I'd be more worried about this... http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2005/dec...ration.research than the world randomly ending on 2012

Common Freddy, haven't you seen the 5th element? We're covered

[SeverX13]

Ok here i go. haha


The mayan calender says that 12/21/2012 is the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT. it says nothin about the earth blowing up or zombie. just, say a MAYJOR change. basically. whats goin to happen is that on that day our earth moon and sun all line up in a perfect line creating an eclipse, BUT what all 3 of those also align with is our universes black hole. we have a black hold in the center of out galaxy and we allign up with it. and out planet is supposed to move up a hemisphere. When this happends our poles will switch. North will become south and south will become north. this will cause major earthquakes. im talkin massive. we are not sure what exatcly will happen when they switch tho. This whole switch could take hundreds of years or it could take days, even seconds. all they know is that the poles will switch. Theres a bunch of scientific terms about it. i forget what they are tho. im gonna find out and let u all know. so here is a scientific explaintion for most of it.
