2012, your opinion?

[jadebeast10]

I just thought i might get some thoughts on the 2012 theory, do you believe something will happen? if so, what?
P.S. If you don't agree with what someone else says, don't start an argument, just say what you think.  

[The Definite Article]

Naaah. I think we're all going to be fine.  

[Super Sarah IT Girl]

Eh. It's no different than the y2k scare. I don't know anything about the theory, but nothing is gonna happen.  

[lgtenos]

My theory: the Mayans got lazy and randomly decided to end time in 2012.  

[AmeliaParadox]

the calander was a circle... it just loops back around, its nothing really. if anything does happen it will be good.  

[Synical Dreamer]

The world is just an illusion...

Actually my science teacher was talking to us about all this. The Maians messed up, the year should have actually been 2010, not 2012. So it should have already happened. Did anything happen? Nope, now it's just hours away from being 2011. biggrin

...Trying to change you

Correction: The Mayan Long-Count Calender doesn't contain mistakes. Given, it WAS SUPPOSED to end in 2010, but for some unknown reason, they added two extra years on to it so that it would end on December 21, 2012. It's not a mistake, it's just an imperfect calendar.

The Mayan Calendar is NOT the only ancient device/record of the world "ending" in 2012. The Chinese, Indians, Native Americans, and even some Aborigine tribes claimed 2012 as some determining and powerful year in time.

The Mayans, and all the others who made calendars like this, never intended to say that world would end in 2012. There's one thing in common with all of these calendars: There will be a cataclysmic event in 2012.
Curiously, the sun will come to it's peak of one of it's cycles where there's in increase in solar flare activity. Also, there will be some interesting alignments in space during that year, and especially on December 21.

However, the Mayan Long-Count Calendar claims 3 events:
1. A giant flood destroying much of their land (NOT the entire world)
2. Some kind of space alignment/sun activity which will trigger some destructive events on Earth (which has actually been scientifically proven will most likely happen)
3. The second coming of "The Men of Wisdom" or "Star People" (their Gods)

Reason 1 and 2 are why the calendar ends in 2012, Reason 3 is why it ends on December 21 of that year. Apparently, "The Men of Wisdom" who gave them the knowledge to make the calendar, will return to bring knowledge to the world once again, and a new calendar will be created.

The world WILL NOT end. There may be some catastrophes, but there are some EVERY year, same with alignments. A flood, probably. Likely some internet outages and satellite disruptions due to solar flares, and possibly a Celestial Visitation from "Star People" who will bring knowledge to us.
LOL to the last one? Well, the Mayans were completely serious.
Maybe aliens DO exist? The Mayans sure thought so.  

[xXHell ShadowXx]

well what i think of this so called "worlds gonna end on so and so" i mean they said this about 2003, 2005 and 2007 and now 2012
i believe they do this for the money, i mean if people panic and s**t they buy food and drinks and all extra clothing and shelter
so i believe they r just ******** around with ppl i mean come on people think about it
and god is a fake

I think a bunch of crazies are going to commit suicide so they can die on their own terms while we skeptics laugh and drink champagne.

Sorry, I'm in a dark mood today.  

[Sarah_L_Awesome]

nah i'm pretty sure some stuff is gonna happen but in the end we still get to watch 2012 in 2013 and laugh remembering how funny it was watching your neighbor put up defence weapons waiting for the aliens to come destroy the world  

[NocturnalPoemIX]

Fallen Angel, take flight...

If we die, we die.

...Take flight with your broken wings.

----------------------------------------------

Sounds like a load of hogwash, like the Y2K scare. But I just know people are going to act like a bunch of damn fools at the end of the year. I'm just glad that I turn 21 in February, so I can legally buy a firearm.

 

[xARTPOPx]

nah, i don't think so, have anybody heard about the psychic twins, they make predictions, that are real ones, it's pretty amazing.

No, there's nothing in the Mayan calendar that suggests the world will end in 2012.
