I'd flip that around and get donations off people who believe that the world will end, after all what are they gonna need money for?Souplex said:I'm going to loan out large sums of money to the people who are convinced that they won't have to pay it back since the world will end.

The thing is most people would rather go out in a blaze of reckless spending.BonsaiK said:I'd flip that around and get donations off people who believe that the world will end, after all what are they gonna need money for?Souplex said:I'm going to loan out large sums of money to the people who are convinced that they won't have to pay it back since the world will end.

And even if it was SOMETHING it doesn't mean the end of the world. just the end of the world AS WE KNOW IT.Yassen said:I'm so sick of this end of world 2012 obsession. You do realize that it never actually had anything to do with the end of the world right? Like, at all. It's just the end of an age in the Mayan calender which then starts a new one. That's like claiming it's the end of the world because it's December 31st.
So will I do something? No, just laugh at all the idiots panicing like they did for Y2K, The LHC, and the sixth of June 2006 fiascos. (Really humanity? Four end of world scares in a single decade?)

Won't work anyway. I'm not willing to overlook a life of hedonism if you're only being good out of fear.BonsaiK said:Some might, I'm counting on the people who have already spent their whole lives being hedonistic and have planned to spend the last days being very pious and anti-materialist in the hope of reversing some of the damage with the guy upstairs.Souplex said:The thing is most people would rather go out in a blaze of reckless spending.BonsaiK said:I'd flip that around and get donations off people who believe that the world will end, after all what are they gonna need money for?Souplex said:I'm going to loan out large sums of money to the people who are convinced that they won't have to pay it back since the world will end.

Of course it won't work. That's not the point. The point is that some people will do it anyway. There were people who converted to Christianity at the last minute the Titanic was sinking for the same reason.Souplex said:Won't work anyway.
