Ok seriously? who believes this end of the world crap? I have my own theories about this. But who actually believes we will all die I 2012??
I don't think anyone can know when the world will end.
I doubt it will be in 2012.
Simply because it's been predicted so much by man.
The Word says God only knows. So it will be in His timeframe; no use us worrying about it except to make sure we're ready to face our Maker.
Well, if that's true then there are a few of you cuties here in HubPages that i have to hookup with before it all goes BOOM!
E-mail me your phone numbers, okay?
Honestly it is the most ridiculous thing I have heard they said the same thing about the new millenium we would be without electricity, the computers would crash etc. and none of it happened. I am not concerned let the cards fall where they may.
I completely agree. I don't even know what the big deal is. It's about a calender! like get over it!
It is another way to put fear into millions of people that is what the media enjoys doing and corporate America reaps the benefits because people spend more money due to fear.
Let me ask you a question Evans. Because you are reasonable person even in disagreements; Would you agree that Fear is not just something that is made up?
Would you also agree that fear is a cause to act on something instinctive? After all, if there was nothing to fear then it would make itself scarce.
In someways, it's like saying... A guy has a gun to my head and is ready to kill me, but I shouldn't fear it because it's just that persons way of getting me to do something or get my money or something.
True, I could go down with or without a fight, people don't respond in fear if there is no reason to fear. I do not know about 2012, we'll see when we get there but to me, there is something to fear.
Will the world end, I dunno...prolly not... I would fair on the side of prolly not but knowing that billions of people do fear something has my guard up because, like we know, when people are scared they loose a lot of reason. (double understanding implied) when people are scared they loose a lot of reason.
exactly! haaaahaa! I think they got bored and said "forget this we have better things to do."
Or....they got together to play the Mother of all Pranks.
ahahaahaahhaahahaaaaa! Dam it! tricked most of us!!!
well im goin by them. it wont b a complete waste of money since the world ends on December 21. Maybe I can get it for a deal. like 2 dollars off or something.
LOL, my 9 year old niece explained it to me, the Mayan's were getting ready to begin the 2013 part of the calendar when aliens came and took them away which is why they disappeared.
Here's a thought - if we were to live AS IF the world was going to end in 2 years or less - would it be better or worse? I think worse because most people would think - hey, do whatever, the worlds gonna end - So I'm saying, whether or not you believe its gonna end - behave as if it is going to last forever and that means we have to clean up our act and make it a better place to keep living in! And that's my thought for the new year! :
I don't see what's so funny about that! (indignant look)
yeh, me too - funny how hard it is to work yourself up into a good bicker when you actually feel good! :
Great. I panicked and sold all my Peanut Butter Stock. Thanks Mega.
The World isn't going to end, according to any form of Calendar.
2012 is my 10 year anniversary at my job.
I wonder if my boss is secretly laughing at me.
Seniority? Pension? phhhhhhht
If I had joined in on the Y2K madness, maybe I would have some left-over survival supplies...
The people who made that calendar that ends at 2012 have long been dead, right? Wiped out. So if they could not foresee their own community getting wiped off the map, why should anyone believe a stupid calendar they made?
The end of the world is going to come and there is nothing I can do about it.I can however enjoy every minute of life today until it comes. I could be hit by a car tomorrow and the way people drive around here that is more likely. I didn't hold my breathe during the y2k and I don't plan on it in 2012.
OMG Denno - you're right I am omnipresent all over the feed - its repugnant, isn't it - I'd better pipe right down now. peep
You're like a mist on these forums. You move faster-than-type!
yes yes and the end of the world as I know it - hmmmmmm - in considering that phrase I find that "as I know it" it would probably be no great loss were it to end "as I know it" . . .:
First they said it was going to be on year 2000, then 2002, now it's 2012? I quit believing stuff like this since the first one didn't happen.
They also said it in the 60's and the 80's and the 90's.....
They claim that the end is near when there is famine and wars and hunger and climatic changes---and that all has been happening since day one.
Someone somewhere is always predicting the end. Eventually someone will be right just by chance.
Who will they share their moment of glory with? It's no fun if you can't say "I told you so!"
But if you're the last person standing, that's no biggie, either.
I assume if the world ends, nobody is left standing. And if someone is, I hope it's not me. I wouldn't survive for long without a computer.
But seriously folks - I read somewhere that when all these different prophets were prophesying the END OF THE WORLD the definitive phrase was "AS WE KNOW IT" meaning that huge global changes would occur that would change forever the way we live together on the planet - not that the planet would just END! So that could be true, actually, at least it seems to me . . .
(fade out) la♪la♪la
I think it's more useful to talk about the end of the "age" rather than the end of the "world." Even if we end up destroying ourselves...I think we'll still at least leave the world behind.
The sun is predicted to exhaust all of its fuel in about 5 billion years or so. There's as good a route as any, too.

If the prediction that 2012 is the end of our world is true, what will you do in the remain time. For most of us, we do the similar thing every day, and we never consider that is a waste of time. However, if the rest of your time is very few, and you know it. And you are very healthy to do what you...

The world is supposed to end on Dec. 21, 2012. Am I still going to have to pay my bills?

Do you think 2010 will be the end of planet earth? Do you think life as you know it is already at the end of time? I do. I think we are headed toward a good end.Shealy Healy

I just wrote a hub about the end of the world in 2012. However, what I did not put into the hub, was the number of times the end of the world was predicted.Googled it, and the most number of times was 242. That is a pretty big number.

What are the Implications of the Mayan Calendar and December 2012. Is the world really going to end?With the impending doomsday theories of 2012, people are spending more time pondering Mayan predictions and their calendar system. Why do people create such a hype about the upcoming month of...
