   What are your first thoughts when you hear "Dec. 20, 2012"?
   
   Just wondering what people know and are thinking about regarding the Mayan calendar and the "stargate"--the upcoming alignment of the stars on Dec 20.

   Five more shopping days till Christmas! Acutally, all my shopping will be done, I will be on Christmas break and I hope to be sitting down enjoying some quality time with family and friends.
   
   I will not be worring about the end of the world because If I'm not ready to meet my maker today, then I'm falling behind. If the world ends the next day, then -- "I'll be home for Christmas."

   Just say Mayan calendar and I think "the end is near". So far what they Mayan's have said, has happened. The world is a mess as earthquakes bother us, and hurricains are storming. Next will be volcanos. Or we could be visited by others. The UFO sighting claims have increased and the believers are getting rialed up.
   Not only from the Indiana Jones movie, but Mayan ruins claim that they had help from sky visitors (aliens anyone?). If the "visitors" helped with the Mayan calendar, who knows.

    It's the day after the 19th and the day before the 21st, and if the Mayan Calendar reckons its the last day of the world, well I guess that will make it a pretty ordinary day, because over hundreds of years, thousands of days have been predicted as the end of the world, and so far none of them have come true, have they?

    Well any mention now of 2012 makes me think of the 2012 Olympics so my first thoughts were on the Olympics but then this question makes me think it's special for a reason and now I'm intrigued so I'll google the date and see why that date's mentioned!

    All of the doomsday should be taken with a pinch of salt. However it does make for some interesting research. Keep an open mind, but perhaps there is more to the so called 2012 theories than you think. Take a look at: http://www.endingoftheworld2012.com
    It takes a more realistic approach, looking into the possibilities and the truth behind the theories.

    It's all BS. Granted the general thought is that something is going to happen at that time, but honestly, anything can happen at any time. A meteor could come slamming into the Earth again and erase life, a super volcano could go off, everything technological could just fail, all the nuclear reactors in the world could go critical and kill us all, or you could drop dead from a heart attack. Either way, something could happen to anyone on any day, so why should we live that day like it's our last?
    
    Scientifically speaking though. There are too many conflicting thoughts on that day to make it a viable option for anything to happen. Some people say that something will happen, whereas some people say that the Mayan calendar has actually ended and then just restarted many times over.
    
    So to think that something catastrophic could happen is no way to live. it's like the whole Y2K thing. There was widespread panic because people thought that the computers were going to all shut off, creating panic and pandemonium. Nothing happened then. We as a people are looking for the next bad thing to happen. I don't know why but we do. It's just silly.

    I thinks it's silly that people actually believe the world, or entire universe will end. It also is not supported by the scientific community.
    
    Although they have confirmed the Galactic Alignment, but said there is nothing that leads to any sort of "doomsday".
    
    Fun fact : George Lucas believes the world will end on 2012!! Imagine that.

    As for the Mayan Calendar, it's been calculated, recalculated several times.  It's just a calendar.
