As 2012 Draws Nearer...

[Kyman102]

You know what I find to be one of the most irritating thoughts about this whole load of 2012 crock?

If by some horrible chance of fate 2012 does turn out to be the year when civilization goes to shit... The people who've been saying this are going to be insufferable. Ugh...

 

[Lacsapix]

One thing is sure!
Its going to be fun

 

[Wintermoot]

no because I reserved a place at a local vault at Vault-tec!
srs: even if the world ends there is NOTHING that I can do about it, its not like I can save the world

 

[Astoria]

If the world does end it'll be because of panic and roits, nothing to do with aliens or the sun exploding or whatever theories people have.

 

[Jenkins]

its an excuse for me to hold an "end of the world" party.

I mean if we are all going to die. might as well party hardy.

ye but then we burn "the gifted" on the sacrificial pires to appease the sun god.

Have I ever told you that you are a genius? Just out of curiosity, which god? Ra, Sekhmet, Sol, Surya, Shamash, Utu, Inti, Helios, Svarog, Siȝel, Saewelô, Amaterasu, Tonatiuh? Maybe all of them and more?

There is a rational, logical and historical reason why the calendar ends at that date in 2012, and it is the same reason that my calendar on my fridge has already ended. Thankfully, the publisher still exists and can print a new one for me. If the 2012 calendars still had an in business publisher, they'd all be regarding the doomsayers as fools and hyping their next edition. They'd also be wondering if they shouldn't break each calendar down into smaller, more profitable chunks.

I'm getting home to Boston in June of 2012, meaning that late December will be the first annual Saturnalia celebration with dear hearts and gentle people who live in my hometown. The first of what I hope will be very many.

I haven't seen a ridiculous panic story like Y2K come to fruition in my lifetime, so no, I'm not worried at all.

 

[likalaruku]

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

Laughed at the tards stocking up on baked beans & duct tape in their Apocolypse-proofed bomb shelters.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Every few years there is some kind of apocalypse planned by some of the many groups of end-of-the-world-fetishists that will afterwards make up some stupid excuse why it didn't happen this time but certainly will in 2015 or something like that.

Either way, these people just belong to a small minority. This might be surprising, but by far most people are actually sane and just like all the previously predicted apocalypses, there will be no mass panicking.

 

[BabyRaptor]

I will likely be doing the same thing I do every night. And when the clock strikes 00:01 2013, I will walk outside, see that the world hasn't ended, shake my head at all the crazy, then commence continuing whatever I was doing prior to my foray outside.

 

[DiMono]

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!

Actually the Mayan calendar doesn't stop in 2012 at all, it just turns around. That's the big misconception that everyone has about this. They never said the world would end in 2012, just that it would have a new beginning (or something; I read about this a few years ago and it's kind of hazy now). Basically, when 2012 arrives you're supposed to start tracking backwards along the calendar in the other direction. And then when you get back to the beginning, you start going forward again.

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

"End of the world" Orgy anyone?

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'm going to go to some skyscraper in a crowded city, rent a room, and watch people flip out on the streets.

 

[Leemaster777]

I am so unconcerned with 2012 that I would literally bet everything I own that not a damn thing is going to happen that day, unless a 2012 believer decides to do something stupid.

That being said, I've never ACTUALLY run into a 2012 believer in real life. If I did, I'd probably say "So, if the world is ending in 2012, you won't need any of your money or worldly possessions, huh? Can I have them?".

If they didn't give them to me, they would just prove how full of crap they are.

 

[Woodsey]

If there are people dumb enough to believe it then maybe the rest of the world should pull a little prank on the idiots.
