Apocolypse Theories

[Soushi]

Okay, now i am getting pissed off. Even national geographic is buying into the whole "2012" bull honky. Soon there will be a terrible movie that comes out about this whole thing. It seems like there is a meteoric (bad pun) rise, in the number of apocalypse theories.

Do these people have no shame? Are they so jaded that they need the promise of an apocalypse to drag themselves out of their beds? D Do they not realize that by feeding mindless fear, that they are only making it more likely that someone will do something really stupid?o people not realize that they are scaring people, more specifically young children, more specifically, young children i look after?

Come on people, lets take a good long look at these theories and rip them apart! Use logic! Common sense! Family recipes, I DON"T CARE!

okay... GO!

Aw, I thought this would be a thread in which we make up our own ridiculous theories about how the world will end. Instead it's just another thread that will most likely lead to a debate about global warming.

And yes, politicians do realize that what they are saying is striking fear into the minds of the average citizen. But that's exactly what they are trying to do, sometimes.

 

[Dorian]

Frankly, people should be buying into this.

But they're thinking of the wrong time and wrong scale!

Try the Big Freeze or the Big Crunch.
Now THAT'S doomsday if it ever happened....

I've alwys believed that if the world ends, truly ends, we won't see it coming. We'll just have that last "Oh shit" moment before oblivion. The whole 2012 thing is all just misinformation and a lack of understanding, mostly concerning the Mayan calander. It's rather silly though... you have these professed scientists and experts basing their theories off of a civilization that would cut open their tongues and genitals evey night to sacrifice blood for their gods so the sun would rise the next day. Lets not forget the foolishness of believing Doomsday prophecies of a people that didn't even see their own demise coming (At least that's what is believed...we can't rally ask them if they knew or not. They at least never wrote anything down about it).

 

[Naheal]

I've got the feeling that something's just over the horizon, but that just means that I should be keeping my eyes open, not buying every "ZOMGTHEWORLDZGONNAEND!" thing that I see.

I don't believe it personaly. A whole doomsday theory created because somone found some ancient callender that stopped at 2012? A load of nonsense if you ask me, same as the Y2k bug, nothing is going to happen. Actually, I'm looking foward to it. People cowering in fear as the date comes...and then goes, and the only thing you will hear is a collective sigh of relief, and me laughing hysterically.
I did try and work out why it was that the world will end...but it doesn't make sense to be honest. Someone's just made something up, and a group of gullible people have followed along.

I'm a believer in "The World will end not with a bang, but with a whimper" scenario.

The only thing that will end in 2012 is London's credebility with the Olympics...oh we are so going to mess that up...

oh okay fine, go to town. Just so long as you don;t scare little children *evil evil glare*

everyone knows that the end will come when the imperial navy comes out of the warp, discovers that we no longer worship the god emperor and virus bombs us to prevent us turning to chaos

The most incredibly attractive race of aliens who "sexes" worlds to death finally arrives to exterminate us.

i personally believe that the poor man who was carving the calendar decided that after fifty years of arthritic fingers from craving and chipping the big honking thing, that he was gonna do something else, like basket weaving, or fruit picking.

Mayan: "ow my freaking fingers... screw this, i'm outta here."
Priest: "So... world ends in 2012?"
Mayan: "Yeah, fuck it i'm done."
Priest: "But... won't that mean that the people in 2012 are gonna have a fit?"
Mayan: "Nah, Fuck'em. No one'll believe this anyway."

i mean, lets not forget that this is a race that was beaten by a small gang of dudes with dumb hats and funny mustaches. And we think that they are into some cosmic secret we don't know? Pfft.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Personally... I don't think that it'll be the complete end of the world.
I really don't think that anything will happen in December three years from now. The Mayans marked stuff for to occur in the 13th cycle of their long-count calender... It's life flipping the calender every New Year's... It's pointless.

If anything does happen to Earth, I think that the Polar Shift will weaken the Earth's Magnetic field, which will expose the planet to more of the Sun's radient energy. Which will vaporize some of the Ocean water, lowering global ocean levels and temperatures, along with killing off a good fraction of the human population. Once the magnetic field naturally regenerates, things will be rebuilt, but hopefully it will be done by sane people who know what to do with the planet...

Or nothing will happen at all, and I'll get to be on a colonization mission another potable planet. I can dream.

they're orgy excuses, plain and simple.

A creature from outer space arrives on earth and begins to devour the entire planet. However, the creature is only the size of a dog so it takes it thousands of years to consume Earth.

I wonder how people would react to that.

 

[Akai Shizuku]

Nothing will happen on 2012 save mass hysteria. Rather, I think it's going to be the meteor in the 2030's.

Or zombies.

 

[Raven's Nest]

Actually I find all the mis-information about the 2012 theory to be rather annoying. If you're going to try and shut people up about it and expose it for it's lunacy, please for the love of God have the courtesy to know what you're talking about...

Like what kind of dog? A lap dog? If so I would nominate the option of just launching his ass back out into space.

Or

The governments would most likely wonder how to use this space dog as a weapon.

enlighten me then? Don't just insult me, put some substance in. if you disagree, tell me why. Goodness

People are building and auctioning off seats in bunkers and places to keep themselves safe for after the apocalypse.

Now, I want to find all these bunkers
and organize picnics and parties outside them the day of and AFTER this 2012 shit doesn't go down. We don't want to be rude and make fun of these people.
I mean- what's better:

Come outside, nothings changed. We all survive or
Come outside, you have survived and theres a kickass party already going on,

And if you have to bring up the bad scenario where WE ALL DIE (you douche) then I'll die at a sweet party getting drunk on wine and dancing with friends. Nice way to die.

I completely agree with you OP. We all know that only one thing will spring up in 2012...
