As 2012 Draws Nearer...

[DiMono]

I'm sure you all know by now that we're being invaded by aliens mid-December 2012. It must be so, because someone at SETI says so [http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/space/space_exploration/news.php?q=1293043132]. Except it turns out that person (and the alien spaceships) don't exist [http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2010/12/27/giant-spaceships-to-attack-december-2012/].

The debunking article makes a rather important point very clearly: as 2012 approaches, we're going to hear more and more doomsayers making noise and trying to scare us all into ...something. These people are going to become more and more prevalent over the next 24 months, and people are undoubtedly going to start believing them and ultimately panicking.

Does this concern you? Are you worried? Do you have any plans for dealing with the stupid people?

In December 2012, Chuck Norris will die.

I'm just sayin'.

What'd you do for Y2K? Do that. That's what I'll do.

I knew it was only a matter of time before this kind of thread came about, though I was pleasantly surprised that it was something resembling intellectual discussion rather than the tiresome doomsaying.

And I think that about sums up what I think about it - I find it terribly tiresome. There are always people who will try to manipulate people and paranoia becomes an easy thing to manipulate. If it wasn't banged on about so much, it might be amusing, but so many people go on about it that it becomes just irritating.

In December 2012, smart people will have a lovely Christmas and a great end of the year, as fucking idiots panic at home.

How many things are going to happen on 2012 now? The Illuminati will take over, a comet will hit the earth, and aliens will invade?

And you know the Mayan calender probably stopped then because the guy who was making it died and no one could be bothered keeping making it?

See you all in 2013!

Here's the thing: not even the mayans believed that the world will end in 2012, after all, according to the 2012 fanatics, the world ended yesterday because a calender did.

 

[Lazarus Long]

What'd you do for Y2K? Do that. That's what I'll do.

Exactly. My biggest concern for December 2012 is what I will do if I run out of bottled water or duct tape.

i survived y2k and swine flu i can handle 2012

The only thing I'm concerned about is the idiots that are no doubt going to be committing crimes all over the place since it's "the end of the world". The whole Mayan calendar thing is bullshit, the Mayans just ran out of space on the rock or something equally trivial.

 

[Pscyon]

I'm going to laugh at all the idiots. Laugh hard. While enjoying my regular christmas/new year's celebrations. And make fun of them on the forums they hang out.

 

[nofear220]

I am going to attempt to trick a woman into sleeping with me "Just incase" the world ends

 

[Souplex]

Fools. Everyone knows that 12/21/12 is the day I judge humanity. It has nothing to do with aliens.

Just wait for Epoch fail man. It will be tremendous!

(And cant happen because they already patched that, but SHHH)

Y2K = 2012. Same as last time the world was supposed to end, nothing will happen.

 

[kirathesavior]

Since I just found out the other day that all of my friends actually bought into this, me and my boyfriend are having a party for the day after. My only concern is that my voice won't hold out for an entire night of screaming "HA! We're not all dead yet!! What now!?"

 

[Skorpyo]

All I'm going to do is keep my home-defender loaded for anybody that decides to make the "End of the World" their personal "Go Crazy" time.

If for some reason the world does end in 2012, then there's nothing we can do about it. It will end, we will be gone. Boo fricking hoo. Panicking over it will accomplish nothing.

However, I believe it will not end in 2012. It will end, however, in 2069, on the 6th of September. For those not using an American calendar, that would be 06/09/69.

 

[martin's a madman]

The article is hilarious. Both the Debunking one, and the stupid one.

The debunking one because it's witty, the stupid one...well, it's stupid.

The end of the world just got a little sexier.
