Do you really think the world is going to end on that day?

So what is my opinion? It's likely that the day will pass with no major event happening at all. People may not even realize it's the projected doomsday, although that's unlikely considering how much press it's likely to garner. We'll just have to wait and see what happens -- and hopefully update this article on Dec. 22, 2012.

Weren't we supposed to die in 1999 as well? Whatever year it was, some kid told me and I sat there waiting and wasted an hour then I resumed playing my PS1 and forgot about it.

It made me go a bit reeeh at first hearing this but it's a load of shit really :p

Even if we were doomed, no point worrying about it might as well make the most out of life anyways

[lillb]

yea so plan your orgies before that date cause you may never get a chance again

[GaMeR_123]

The world was also supposedly going to end on January 1st, 2000 and again on June 6, 2006.
So I think this is just more BS.

[phlipp]

I think it's a load of BS.
But if somthing catistrophic did indeed happen, look around for a good looking girl, cause she could be your last. ;)

[WheresMalik]

Like most of you, I think it will probably pass without a hitch; no ice age, no nukes setting off everywhere at once, no comet colliding with earth, no moon breaking apart and completely destroying our gravity etc. I think it will be like every other day.

If it were to end and I'd have a few days, or weeks or even months of foresight, such as NASA or something noticing a very large asteroid on a collision course with earth, I'd actually feel relieved.

I'd feel like for once in my life I wouldn't have to worry about being a bum, about getting up for work, getting my doctorate, none of that stuff. I'd Thoreau it and just go out into the woods and try to make it on my own with no technology and, hopefully, a few friends who are like-minded. It would be the best time of my life.

So, in a way, I am actually hoping for the world to end. It might actually justify my otherwise meaningless existence.

Nothing is going to end, things are going to change.

I believe the Mayans had it right, and they don't say the world is going to end. I could go into a big long breakdown of the Mayan calendar, or you could watch a big long youtube video about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDN6ZcZ0y9I&feature=PlayList&p=437809F091FE66AA&index=0&playnext=1

Yes! The original meaning of apocalypse was "a great revealing or change", none of this pessimistic death nonsense western society seems to be obsessed with (seeing as we've fucked shit up so much we just want it to end so we don't have to fix it) for some reason.

However, the only thing that's going to happen is the Mayan calender will roll over, all these patterns seen in the stars by all these other civilizations are just that, patterns. They aren't mystical alignments that will cause a gravity rift to come straight out of the Pope's asshole and kill us all, there wont be some magical stargate that will bring a benevolent alien fleet to save us from ourselves, and very unfortunately there wont be a bringing together of mankind for the betterment of all. The world will just continue in the sad state it is in now.

[WheresMalik]

...seeing as we've fucked shit up so much we just want it to end so we don't have to fix it...

I know that's how I feel. :wink2:

[DiscoBombs]

I know that's how I feel. :wink2:
There are days I feel like that, but then I do a complete 180 and think there's still hope, that humanity can somehow pull its collective head out of its ass and get shit on the right track. I can only hope that if there is a god he/she/it smiles upon us and spares us that doomed fate.

[devil chevelle]

if you watch history channel and all that other stuff they dont ever say its the end of the world but they hence toward it like no tomorow. but if you read about it logically all it really is, is the mayans predicting some alignment in the earth the sun and the center of the galaxy. i believe everything i just stated is on point might be wrong about the center of the galaxy the fact is every prophet and prophecy and religious group have always stated a prophecy and us as people either start thinking its going to be the end of the world. but time and time again have proved that all those theroys and prophecies are wrong.

[Patrucci]

I wouldn't believe we would all die...
A few theories are floating around, world would flip its axis, gravity change.
Its funny though how like, I am Legend is based in 2012, Assassins Creed is also in 2012 and at the end of the game is a barcode with reference "21122012" for 21 December 2012.

So many others, not worth the time.

[DiscoBombs]

Flip on its axis? Never heard that one before, are you referring to the magnetic axis flip? That occurs naturally once every so often. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

[flint.44]

Funny thing is, the Jewish calender actually ends in 2012. I really don't believe that doomsday will happen in 2012 though. I think there will be a doomsday, but not this soon, nor of biblical proportions. More like humanity ending itself, it is in human nature. It only takes 18 nukes to wipe out life on earth.

Couldn't tell you to be honest, I've just heard it from some 2012 junkies. Never really decided to look into it much.

[behzad_sol]

Well, Mankind needs to discover the things that haven't revealed yet and it takes a long time to discover them, so there won't be a doomday

Before anything starts, let me get this clearly... so your saying that there won't be a Last Judgment for Humanity set out by God? :facepalm:

[DiscoBombs]

That's the general gist of it. The last judgment of humanity will probably be by severe environmental damage, massive outbreaks of disease/famine, or the fire of nuclear war. And it will be entirely our own doing, unguided by the unseen hand of a fictitious "god".

Yes, I am okay with the fact that "we will cause our own Judgment" and "there is no God." But, I cannot accept what this guy just said...

there won't be a doomday

[DiscoBombs]

Well by what method do you wish your apocalypse? Do you prefer the original Greek meaning of a great unveiling? Or do you wish the darker, more pessimistic meaning that emerged later? There may be a doomsday, but it could simply be the end of the old ways of thinking, however it is all the more likely it will be the end of humanity in general. But you could go even further to say that our next evolutionary jump will be the end of days of humanity and birth of something greater. Its a matter of perspective friend, but the best thing to do is to not think too much about it.

[Superman]

I like to keep my faith and believe that...

• The time of human Apocalypse will occur after 3 years of drought in such places and 3 years of extra ordinary hurricanes in such places. When a guy named Dajjal, the Anti Christ, will go around fooling people into his faith and taking them back to hell. When people will have unprotected and unmarried sex. When disease will be the number 1 killer. When racism, discrimination, and fascism would be at their extreme. And when that time comes, we will all know. My religion and faith forbids me to be predicting Apocalypses and such.

This topic wasn't created for me to express and extend my faith. It was created so I can read and debate about peoples thoughts about that specific day, (December 21, 2012) to be the last for mankind, the Apocalypse.

Though, you are welcome to debate about religion with me too! :)

[iKlipse]

Why does everyone look to the religious side of a "doomsday"? Face it, there is really no such thing and when there is no such thing then nothing will happen. The closest your going to get to a "religious doomsday" is a fat nutcase running around in a Satan costume wielded with a home made flame thrower, thats it.

I do believe there is a gigantic rock flying towards us... but I also believe that because they have known about it for 10 or so years, they would easily have the technology specially to stop it from slamming into the planet. We have nuclear warheads, which could also be responsible for a close ending to humans and everything else, we also have lasers which can cut through objects. If they combine the both, then I shit you not, that giant rock isn't a problem. Because of my idea with nuclear warheads and lasers being an option then imagine what tasks 10 years of thinking, from the scientists and meteorologists, could've achieved.

I have strong doubts that this rock is going to take out the planet, for all we know its already been blown up or had its path fiddled with.

Nuclear war however is very possible, one could break out right now but I also have my doubts that a nuclear war will erase all signs of the human race. Most politicians responsible would be either assassinated or demoted from their status during or before the war causing it to finish.

[Kodo]

i think it may just be a turning point in human evolution, in the way we think and act together, for better or for worse

[PS3_dude]

Big LOL from me... Don't worry people. None of this is gonna happen in the near Future. It is just a rumor so magazines and other people can earn some cash and attract attention.

[Antonio Montana]

As some of you said, I like to believe it'll be the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT. Humanity will change and life like it is now.. I don't believe we're gonna day in an apocalypse. But as far as those fake doomsdays go, I think this one actually has a meaning in it, and that's why it looks so real. The Mayan calendar stops at 13.0.0.0 (or in our calendar 21.12.2012. on the winter solstice) and some theories even say that there's a planet called Nibiru that goes vertically around our sun and passes it every 3000 or so years.. and the people that developed this theory say Nibiru's gravity is going to crush earth. If this theory is correct, we'll see a planet approaching Earth since 2011 in summer 'til the doomsday in the winter. I don't believe this theory, but it's fun to imagine.

[flint.44]

How is the Earth getting destroyed from another planets gravity fun to imagine?
There actually is a meteor hurdling towards Earth, it is supposed to skim through our atmosphere in 2029, if it hits a certain point in the atmosphere then it will come back in 2036 and hit. The certain point is a hole in the atmosphere or something. It could change the orbit of the meteor so that when it comes back it will hit. There is only a 1/1000 chance this will happen though.

[Jose]

It may or may not happen, but anyways, life really has no fixed point: you are born, grow up and simply die. Nothing will make you stay here for too long. Just be happy :D

PS: I feel like a hippie...

December 21st 2012:

Dan444 will be earning money, posting on GTAGaming forums, and playing 360
Aliens will be at home watching Family guy
Assholes who believe the world will end.. will go to hell.

[The Shy Child.]

The person who discoverd the first about nibiru was a guy called sitchin and he translated 6000 year old texts. Apperantly it said aliens from space came to earth and found monkeys and mutated them to our current form, human beings. and that the aliens will return in 2012 and enslave us. Now I am sorry but how a guy from 6000 years ago knew anything about planets that we can't even see with the technology we currently have. So Nibiru is BS, to be honest. I don't buy it.

Some say because the mayan calender ends in 2012, the world will end, thats not true, the mayans beleived that humans will experiance a physical or concessiones change. Remember though that the mayans were very religious people. There is as much proof of superman being real than god and angels being real. The mayans were great mathematicians and knew there way around numbers but thats really it, and could only predict some natural events that has happened multiple times before. There is no possible way they could predict the end of the world.

I will tell you whats gonna happen. You are gonna wake up, go to school, work, or wherever you have to be. Come home later in the day. You will go online and the boards and comments on youtube and everywhere will be rife with "Yay, the world didn't end". I gaurentee, it will be on the news, papers, you name it. It will be everywhere. Just like in 2000.
