rojo Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I believe it in terms that it'll be war and humanity that'll eventually end civilization. :c There's something scary about dormant nuclear weapons, not to mention all the destruction we're causing to the earth... man, this topic kind of makes you think.

sarria33 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 "Always deny the apocalypse. You’ll usually be right, and when you’re wrong, no one will be left to say, ‘I told you so.’" - John Green haha, I don't believe the world is gonna end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermintc Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I think is funny the way someone came up with the idea of apocalypse in 2012 and THEN started looking for viable reasons to explain a possible end of the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star_kisu Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I believe that the Mayan Calendar ends on that date(because well...it does lol), But not the world. I believe the world will end eventually but no one knows when or how, It could be a giant asteroid, the sun exploding, a black hole, global warming, nuclear holocaust, war, a HUGE number of things, Probably man made things :\ lol. However I will take your money off your hands for Dec 21st 2012 for safekeeping ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Well, as far as 2012 goes, not really. But nothing lasts forever, and eventually Earth will be destroyed, be it when the sun dies as expected, or a meteor hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chouchouter Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Basically all of the end of the world "evidence" that I have heard of is nonsense.. It doesn't make sense to base everything off of the Mayans.. I mean, we don't even share even remotely similar cultural values or practices.. sure, they had a great calendar, but really? Just because theirs stopped doesn't really mean anything special :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neocrayon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 In honesty if the world was going to end then it could happen at anytime, even before the time you've read this! :shiftyeyes_anim: Just because the calendar ends doesn't mean the world will. No one should have the power to predict that and I look forward to talking to you all on December 22nd, wishing you a very merry (almost) christmas! Live life to the full while you still can, instead of worrying about the world ending, even if you believe it will, go and enjoy the fresh air! :laughingsmiley: Go on. Turn the computer off. ENJOY! *turns computer off and enjoys fresh air* (no offence intended to any people who believe that it will end. I respect your opinion too :rolleyes_anim:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Didn't the day on the Mayan Calendar already pass, because the Mayans didn't take leap years into account? Absolutely and in addition to that (I can't remember exactly the details) but, when the Mayan calendar was translated into the Gregorian calendar that we use today there were a lot of discrepancies. So that if it was done properly, "the end of the world" will not occur on Dec.21, it should have happened like a year or two ago. And hey, guess what, we're still alive!

psychology Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 there's a supervolcano in yellowstone national park. i think we should be more fearful of the geological ticking bomb under north america rather than predictions by a civilization that lived hundreds of years ago.

Haliaetus Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I don't think that the world is actually going to end, I think it's all a bunch of rubbish.

MysteriousUser Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Does anyone know for sure if the Mayans explicitly said the world would end? Or did we just assume that? For all we know, the end of the world as we know it could be something good. But who knows. Maybe they predicted the very soon destruction of their civilization and wanted to troll the future inhabitants. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezza Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I really don't believe that the world will end in December. I do believe that the world will end. But I don't think that this will be in the near future. I have two theories. That maybe the destruction of the world and mankind will be brought by mankind (pollution, war, etc). And it is possible that the planet will just heal herself through another Ice Age. Ice Age (or rather Glacial Age), mankind can survive. From Wikipedia: "An ice age, or more precisely, a glacial age, is a period of long-term reduction in the temperature of the Earth's surface and atmosphere, resulting in the presence or expansion of continental ice sheets, polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Within a long-term ice age, individual pulses of cold climate are termed "glacial periods" (or alternatively "glacials" or "glaciations" or colloquially as "ice age"), and intermittent warm periods are called "interglacials". Glaciologically, ice age implies the presence of extensive ice sheets in the northern and southern hemispheres.[1] By this definition, we are still in the ice age that began 2.6 million years ago at the start of the Pleistocene epoch, because the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets still exist.[2] Maureen Raymo, William Ruddiman and others propose that the Tibetan and Colorado Plateaus are immense CO2 "scrubbers" with a capacity to remove enough CO2 from the global atmosphere to be a significant causal factor of the 40 million year Cenozoic Cooling trend. They further claim that approximately half of their uplift (and CO2 "scrubbing" capacity) occurred in the past 10 million years.[40][41]" Viridian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jadey Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 The best part is that the 21st is my brother's birthday. He plans to watch 2012 on that day. I like your brother's idea!! It's not going to happen. The Mayans didn't count leap years! And also I read somewhere that the ending is about the ending of the fourth race of humans and that the fifth race will arise. So I'm curious to see what the fifth race of humans is meant to look like :woot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotsuoy Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Don't you know, every day in the mayan baktun is represented by a different animal (many of wich are mythological), so the calander ends because they ran out of animals. :P Seriously though, the guy that had been spouting about how the world was going to end on the 21st of december is the same guy that started all that Annuniki crap. It's all bogus hooplah. Archeologists have been disproving his nonsense for years now. There is however one thing a few people mentioned. . . a lot of folks DO belive the world is going to end on the 21st. . . which makes me terrified of the human race and how they might react. Mass suicides, riots, raids even. . . there's no telling how everyone is going to flip out. That's what I'M afraid of anyways. Lord knows what happened with the Y2K freaks. Imagine that about 200x worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Warblers Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Even if it's near. What are you gonna do? Just live your life like it's the last day. However, I'm pretty sure that I ll see you in the 22nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmacow Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 If I (thought I) knew that today would be my last, I would blow all my money (and everything I could squeeze out of my credit cards) on fun stuff, fatty foods and cigarettes. I think it's best if I assume that the world will not end any time soon. Wildbreeze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart123 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Do I believe the world is going to end? No. The world will continue to spin and be whether we are here or not. Even once the sun goes through it's star stages and eventually consumes the Earth and becomes space dust. That space dust is still Earth. Just in a different physical state and will continue to exist. Do I believe humanity will eventually end? Yes. Whether we all die off and/or evolve into some other manner of species eventually humanity as we know it today will end and/or be different. Do I believe it will happen on the 21st? No. Nobody can predict the evolvement of a species. It happens slowly over a very long period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xandria Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm just now seeing this topic. :P Anyways. I am usually not supersticious at all. Ever. Now that the day is drawing closer I'm still finding myself anxious about the whole thing. Then again, my anxiety makes me terrified of everything from thunderstorms to tornados. So if it even starts to rain that day I will probably freak out. Oh gee, I'm going to need some xanax that day. lol. It totally sucks because I know I don't believe in it, I really don't. So why am I scared? -_- Naamah D. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
