Has anyone heard the the possible news that we're all going to die in 2012 (94)

1 Name: Ta-Kun : 2011-12-20 16:19 ID:Iusd5aUr [Del]

Ok i know we all have atleast once but serten members of the goverment think it will. honestly i don't care if the worlds ends next year as long as i die from a fight with my freinds. This is just a rumor so give me your thoghts on this if you balive or think its full of shit like Y2K.

2 Name: Fade : 2011-12-20 16:20 ID:cRes3Su8 [Del]

we WILL die in 2012.......possibly

3 Name: Socks !CTOykyu6cw : 2011-12-20 16:21 ID:KmmFPxkj [Del]

my thoughts on it are "anyone who actually believes this shit is fucking moronic, also can I have all your money, I mean if you are gonna die, what do you need it for."

4 Name: Oden : 2011-12-20 16:23 ID:Ch3M0vSZ [Del]

nah cuz the world won't end in 2012, because the show how I met your mother is told from 2030

5 Name: Ta-Kun : 2011-12-20 16:23 ID:Iusd5aUr [Del]

Eh I'm more on the side of it may happen or it may not. Pluse I'll only fight him the secon the first meteior or whatever hits.

what other option is there?

7 Name: Raix : 2011-12-20 16:29 ID:LgCI1iLl [Del]

2012? my bullshit meter went off quite awhile ago. It's not going to happen, even scientists and the mayan elders that remain say so. It's a bunch of hype just to scare people just like Y2k and the "rapture" they said would happen last May. You wanna know what I did during the "rapture"? I sat back on a comfy couch, playing on the laptop and eating bbq ribs for dinner. yea. i wouldve died pretty comfortably. haha.

8 Name: Seika Chugo !!dZlEviJU : 2011-12-20 16:32 ID:ARmcz+VJ [Del]

Isn't it just supposed to be like, a polarity shift in 2012? The most that can do is bust computers and shit.

And even if the world was supposed to end. What's it matter? Not like we'd be able to do anything about it. Hell, we'd probably CAUSE it. Whether or not theres a chance, I'm gonna enjoy life til the end and not worry about it like I do for every apocalypse announcement/theory, for the simple reason you can die at any time without warning. I could get hit by a car tomorrow, the house could explode, I could die in my sleep, I could get a dizzy spell and hit my head, I could get kidnapped and killed, I could choke; I can't see a reason to worry about it anymore than I worry about getting killed the next day, Which I don't because it's pointless to worry.

9 Name: Ladarius : 2011-12-20 17:34 ID:Gmh7ISc0 [Del]

Were not going to die in 2012. Who knows when the end of the world is going to come. Many predictors guessed when the world was going to end, but they were all wrong. So i guess we should make this time to help eachother and help ourselves.

It's all BS!
The Mayan Calender just ends. 2012 (the movie) is Science Fiction and no way something like that happens in that short of a time span. If the world ends, it's cause the government failed or something like that. So to me I think it's all BS.

YAY And by the way, we're not goanna die in 2012, there will just be massive fires that level entier cities, that will then be put out by a company called Better Living indusrties (or B.L\ind.) Who will, over a course of 8 years, will fully talke over the world and feed us mind-numbing drugs that will take away out free choice and emotion. And the only people who will still be human, are going to be the creators of B.L\ind, and people called Tha fabulous Killjoys.

Thay(along with Dr.Deathdefying) will lead the rebellian for humanity and everything that is good and BADASS!

Will you be part of the MCArmy? I am a Killjoy, what side will you chose?

23 Name: The Doctor : 2011-12-22 20:09 ID:w0c8alrr [Del]

It's not the end. What it is, the planets will be aligned, so think of it as a galactic year!
Not to mention, the Mayan "god" will return on Dec. 21st, well the alignment will magnify the gravity field in a line, causing a bend in time and space, allowing interstellar travel for advanced beings to do sort of a .....visit to see how far you humans have progressed and to see if you're worth saving.
To tell the truth, I'm one of the seven they left behind to keep an eye on you, and although you seem to be going down a destructive path, I see so much potential in you. I've seen all the wars you've had, the destruction of the environment, degradation of your moral system,sending all your trash into space, etc. But the bad things are what humans seem to focus on. Despite all of your faults, the small amount of people who over come them more than overshadows them. I love the human race, but to be honest, you are starting to get overpopulated, and the larger you grow, the less intelligent you seem to get as a group. Just use some common sense and you'll be fine. ^_^ Allons-y!

also the maya calender (which is exact) ends at Dec. 21' 2012, thats why some people think the 'worlds end' will come.

27 Name: Mael !DoMiNUIT9I : 2011-12-29 07:36 ID:0pBrcxGi [Del]

>>23 LOL, a bend in time and space...

Well... 12/21/12 is when the Mayans predicted a planetary alignment, which is supposed to happen ever 2600 years...roughly. The planetary alignment will make us close to other major centers of gravity, e.g. the other planets. Which at most will change our weather patterns, but that might not even happen.
"The 2012 phenomenon comprises a range of eschatological beliefs according to which cataclysmic or transformative events will occur on December 21, 2012. This date is regarded as the end-date of a 5,125-year-long cycle in the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. A New Age interpretation of this transition is that this date marks the start of time in which Earth and its inhabitants may undergo a positive physical or spiritual transformation, and that 2012 may mark the beginning of a new era. Others suggest that the 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe. Scenarios suggested for the end of the world include the arrival of the next solar maximum, or Earth's collision with a black hole, passing asteroid or a planet called "Nibiru" (or Planet X, google it, its fun to read).

Scholars from various disciplines have dismissed the idea of such cataclysmic events occurring in 2012. Professional Mayanist scholars state that predictions of impending doom are not found in any of the extant classic Maya accounts, and that the idea that the Long Count calendar "ends" in 2012 misrepresents Maya history and culture. Astronomers and other scientists have rejected the proposed events as pseudoscience, stating that they are contradicted by simple astronomical observations."

Thanks Wikipedia!

Just because the Mayan Calendar ends on a certain date, doesnt make it the fucking end of the world.
Shit, I just threw away my AVATAR calendar, does that mean the end of the world is on the 31st? If so, we are fucked, because I haven't lost my virginity yet.
AND THERE IS NO WAY, I AM GOING TO DIE A VIRGIN.

Btw, Isaac Newton predicted 2060. Ever hear that theory?

Well it's a possibility that it can through natural disasters like mega quakes, mega tsunamis and super volcanoes. One such natural phenomena that I've heard about is the super volcano that seems to be getting pretty active in Yellowstone national Park. A volacano like that only erupts 400-600 years(maybe I heard it wrong) and it appears that this volcanoe is long overdue for its next eruption. The damage it would cause can bring mankind to the edge and near extinction So that could be our 2012 end of the world.

We will NOT all die in 2012. There is no way that the world will suddenly end. We won't have earthquakes and mega tsunamis, and even if we did we wouldn't all die. If you think we will, just ask yourself this: How could the Mayans predict the world will end in 2012 that far in advance. Answer: They couldn't. We don't see any earthquakes and mega tsunamis in 2012 even though wé are already here. Its just not possible for this to happen.

32 Name: Thiamor !yZIDc0XLZY : 2012-01-01 16:40 ID:nGMuzC27 [Del]

It's the first fucking day of 2012. I can agree with you, other than the part saying we don't see them, thus it isn't there type of mentality.

41 Name: The Doctor : 2012-01-01 22:16 ID:w0c8alrr [Del]

Also on another note, there is absolutely nothing in the Mayan ruins that says anything about the world ending, just the count down. Now it is a survival instinct that you humans tend to think of the worst-case-scenario whenever you find something you don't understand, like with Y2K, That was the first time you would experience '00 with electronics, so you thought of all the possible disasters that could have happened, in order to prepare for it.

Also, for my earlier comment, think about it: All of the false "Gods" of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Japanese, Mayan, Native American, and African Mythologies were very "Hands-On" with human society about 26000 years and back, but suddenly they stopped appearing, and just became stories. Again, as I have said, the planetary alignment will allow them to return.

No. No we will not. How the fuck can people PREDICT it when they have before and failed? Even Science has failed, to prove when we will die. No random person saying 'WE WILL' can prove that. Their FAITH alone can't.

44 Name: Thiamor !yZIDc0XLZY : 2012-01-06 22:16 ID:vYTwkGXJ [Del]

Also their calendar STOPPED because they died. Obviously if everyone in a group dies off, what they make won't just magically continue to grow. So get your head out of your asses and think fucking realistically about this.

So, of course their Calendar ended. It ended because no one could keep making it. They died. The end.

45 Name: Forte_Sigma!ljEVVXEJNE : 2012-01-06 22:31 ID:RgKraOS4 [Del]

Fuck the damned shit.
The poles are supposed to shift in '12 but that's it.
That may cause some crazy shit to happen, but other than that, nothing is going to happen.

Fuck the Mayans man, making us get all worried and shit.
All that happened is the guy got hungry and forgot to finish the calendar before going out to eat with his kids and wife.
Plus, its Biblical that we won't be able to predict when Christ comes comes back.

Although, I think mah boy Isaac Newton had something going on when he predicted 2060.

Anyway we go out, there had better be some fucking Zombies.

The world is not going to end anytime soon. I mean, seriously, the last time that happened, some fanatics quit their jobs and went to buy a caravan to live in and 'survive', and I heard that some guy was building a Noah's Ark to survive the imminent danger. Or 'imminent', in any case.

But sure, go ahead and believe the world's gonna end. I'll just watch casually as everyone who believes in it goes around panicking, while I get kicks from all the frenetic activity...

I AM GOING TO DIE. Because Im gonna party like the world is ending.

If you believe this shit, you need to go educate yourself.

You are basing this bullshit off of a calendar of a long extinct civilization that couldn't predict their own demise.
In addition, the world doesn't end.
It does in this universe, in this frame of time, but somewhere else, we live on.

74 Name: InquisitorAeterna!HERESYxWhE : 2012-12-13 08:19 ID:bcRdOrVB [Del]

Dear god, does no one study their history?

Did you know that the Mayans called their 'eras', 'worlds'? They basically predicted the end of another era. People today just jump to conclusions, so when it was translated as the end of the world, the thought it literally meant the end of the world.

BTW, we're currently in the 5th world. According to the Mayans, that is.

Here's what I say, it's really simple...

If the Mayans WERE trying to predict the end of the world, saying it'll end on December 21, 2012... Well, the world would've ended a year ago... Because the Mayans didn't have Leap Year, Daylight Savings, etc.

Calendar Argument. Referring to the matter of 'Leap Years' and "Daylight Savings Time.' All in all, a completely inane argument preformed by those who don't know anything about history.

Haru, the rest of this applies to >>81 and anyone else who is making assumptions, not you.

The Mayan calender was based on Solar and Lunar Cycles, meaning that it was more accurate than the Julian calender that began with the Roman Calender and the Gregorian Calender which began in the middle ages.

The Julian Calender was flawed due to the fact of it not taking into account a solar year, causing it to gain days over time.

The Gregorian Calendar (The one we use today) is still flawed due to the usage of the Julian Calender. In fact, these flaws will not be worked out til February 2100, due to leap years and the like.

Daylight Savings Time is an American Concept that is entirely retarded and should be done away with.

Now onto Solar and Lunar Dates. There are 4 main days each year: The Vernal Equinox, the Autumnal Equinox, the Aestival Solstice, and the Hibernal Solstice. These are the dates that the Mayan Calender is concerned with. More specifically, the Hibernal Solstice, more commonly called the Winter Solstice.

This day is the shortest of the year. In addition, it was regarded as the beginning of 'Deep Winter' in ancient societies. It also falls on December 21 of this year.

Now onto your other miscalculations, Kyria. Assuming you know nothing about the Gregorian Calender, lets assume that Leap Years factor into the dates of the Solstices regarding the Mayan Calender (note: They don't). Assuming we subtract 2012/4 days from the current date, we set the date of the end of the Mayan Calender back 503 days. That would put the end of the calender in September of 2010.

But wait! The Julian Calender began the tradition of Leap Years and it started in 45 BC! So, if we subtract 45/4 days, we end up at the end of August 2010.

One more thing: Leap Years don't change the duration of time between Solstices and Equinoxes, just the observed date. Geological Time remains unaffected by our measures. Therefore, the date of the Mayan Calenders (Which worked off of Geological Time) has already been computed to December 21, 2012, by people significantly smarter than me or you.

TL;DR : Shut up about things you don't know about.

No problem, I was just wondering was all.

"Daylight Savings Time is an American Concept that is entirely retarded and should be done away with."

I couldn't agree more with this statement.

Either way, I still believe that 2013 will come along rather uneventfully, as long as people don't go insane.

In all honesty, Daylight Savings Time was actually a fair idea back when it was proposed, because the world still mainly relied on daylight for being able to work, and DST would let people continue with more daylight to work in (hence the name.)

The problem is, as technology has progressed and daylight has become less valuable over time, DST is a little archaic and the complications ar argued to outweigh the benefits.

I also should mention that it is not just the US that utilizes DST; as a matter of fact, the US did not even invent it. Modern DST was first proposed by G.V. Hudson of New Zealand, and Germany was first to use it effectively furing WWII.

Someone probably already mentioned this, but, still...

I just realized this; the Mayans never specified what time the apocalypse is gonna happen. So just because we've survived this long, doesn't mean the world isn't going to end.

>>92 The Mayans never specified an apocalypse either, so no.

The world will inevitably end at one point, but that point is so far into the future that the Mayans wouldn't have ever come close

Either,
Were all alive and this "end" people talk about is just about Justin Bieber going to hidding because of Gangnam Style.
Or,
Were all dead and we just haven't noticed it yet...
