2012

Post Reply New Topic

Okay, so I'm probably going to sound really paranoid here, but am I the only one who gets a little freaked out about the world possibly ending in 2012? This is the third time in a few weeks that I've had insomnia over it. Truth is, there's a lot going on in my life right now, and that's probably the actual source of the insomnia, but the whole 2012 thing just makes the insomnia longer and more nerve-wracking for me.

Am I the only one who gets freaked out over this? And can anyone please help me ease my mind enough that I can get to sleep?

So what the Mayan Calender ends? I don't see how this automatically equates to the end of the world.

I figure a lot of their stuff was tied into the Constellations so we might all observe an Astronomical event.

Or who knows. It could mark the end of an age which can sometimes be a positive thing.

For now though I'm not that worried about it.

It most likely won't happen, the Mayans themselves refute that theory, and the calendar has one prominent feature... Its a circle, and circles continue on forever, in one never ending loop. So as far as the Mayans are concerned, we might have what's called the end of the world as we KNOW it, which means many things, such as, a world thats different from the one we have now. This could mean good things, such as new advancements in technology, that might promise viable, inter, and extra-solar space travel. But the chances are that nothing will happen, or become of it.

I don't believe in it.

I just have a few things I can't wait for in 2012: Mass Effect 3, Metro: Last Light and the movie with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost the worlds end (they made Hot Fuzz and Shawn of the Dead)

best 2 actors of all time, i've seen every simon pegg movie, even star trek and ice age 3

In any case, 2012 is absolute nonsense. Don't believe or read any of it, it's been debunked thousands of times, it's just based on a silly math equation.

I agree with you on the games. Mass Effect 3 is going to be immersive, and then theirs other games that Im excited for, such as Halo 4, which is another addition to the evolving Halo universe. So if you know the back stories of Halo, you know that the perceived threat in the reveal trailer was either a Forerunner, or Precursor vessel. And its bad enough if we fight the Forerunners, we might go against the Precursors, the only known species in the Halo universe to achieve Extra- Galactic travel. Which is even to our species far in the future, an almost impossible thing to obtain. Unless the other galaxies happen to be our galactic satellites, the Megellanic clouds. At this point in time, this has all been theorized, but not confirmed to be the plot.

Live in the moment.

Just think back to the doomsdayers trying to freak people out over Y2K.

Yes, and yes.



Here's the scoop: A buncha self-appointed doomsday prophets saw that the Mayan calendar ends in December 2012, and declared this an "Ancient Mayan Prophesy" that points to the End Of The World.

Oh, look ... my Snoopy calendar ends on December 31, 2011! This means that Charles Schultz predicted the end of the world on that day, and that the Mayans were wrong!

relaaax, it'll be fun

i hope they wait 'til after the euros. and my birthday. cos i don't want to die on an odd number

I don't believe the world will end anymore thant I believe the great sky fairy will wisk me away to some kind of undead family reunion in the sky when I die.

Even if the Mayans did predict the end of the world (they didn't), why should we take it seriously?
