Poll: 2012

[QuirkyTambourine]

I think that someone, somewhere will have a birthday.

Do you know how many people have their birthday every day? Hundreds. Literally hundreds.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Maybe Jack Thompson will get what he wants, a total ban on games...

 

[messy]

Well lets see Britain is hosting the Olympics, which means we have to build a stadium, which won't be ready in time and cost too much money. A shady business man will take over the project and when the Olympic torch is lit it will be discovered he's actually made a huge laser beam that'll destroy the moon. Huge moon/meteor shower which I imagine will wipe out large proportion of the northern hemisphere.

Also I should'eve just graduated Uni, If this does happen I'll be pissed to say the least

 

[feversk]

OK, let me put it rationally:

There is no rational evidence that the arth or the Universe is going to end in any way in December 2012. We cannot say with certainty that it will be destroyed, but it is irrational to think or predict that it will.

OK, I propose a meeting on this forum on 20.12.2012 at 23:59. It should be fun.

 

[SultanP]

I don't know what will happen, but I am hoping for the apocalypse or something similar in scale of importance. But I am hoping for that every day. The end of the world is the biggest event in world history, and I'd hate to miss it.

 

[Vrex360]

I would hope we would establish contact with a great alien civilization made up of many millions of different alien races and we humans join them into a great future..... but if life hath taught us anything it's not to be enthusiastic so odds are nothing.
*sigh*

Plus, didn't Nostradamus predict a lot of things that happened, like even 9/11/01, and the last TV show I saw on his predictions stated he had prophecies and visions dating well into the year 3000. I may be wrong on that, I was a bit young when I saw the program though.

if you actually read his predictions they are so general they can really apply to anything, that is how most proficiencies work you predict general events then let people later on fill in the details after the fact.

 

[not a zaar]

I just don't know. I hope its a rebirth of the earth.


Without the humans.

(Yes, I realize I would be dead, but for the better of the earth)
(I also realize that the next dominant race would probably do the same thing, but that would be billions of years. So the earth may recover/adapt)

This is an unusual opinion. Since when is a hunk of rock more important than the human race? There are billions of planets out there, but how many of them sustain intelligent life? It seems like this opinion hasn't been thought though at all.

As for this mayan thing, I don't think they actually predicted this as the end of the world, I think they just ran out of numbers to count to.

since when does life even matter? no life is significant. no one matters. all intelligent life does is live for awhile, and then eventually die out. no matter how evolved. humans dont matter, neither do any aliens or other lifeforms. nothing matters. if we all die, you know who will care nobody, and if someone does care, they will soon die. life really doesnt matter, nothing and noone is significant. existing really isnt a whole lot different from nothing, cause either way it doesnt matter. depressing i know

Calm down there Angsty McTeen. Maybe your life doesn't mean anything to you right now but most people are just happy to wake up in the morning.

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

A most terrible and fearful day will befall us all.
The streets will run red with the blood of thousands of victims.
people from every corner of the globe will feel the harsh sting of defeat.
millions will cry, weep, some will even laugh.
At the end of it, we will be left with nothing.

I am, of course, refering to the London Olympics.

Ah, my bad. I never really read much on his predictions himself, like I said, I only watched whatever was on the History Channel or SciFi or whatever channel had a thing on him when I was a kid. I still believe most prophecies are crap though, and anyone who might be even remotely able to predict the future sure as heck isn't famous by any means, most likely considered crazy by most. Ironic how that could work: the famous seers are phony, but the ones called crazy might really be able to see something, though doubtful.

A tattoo of his face on his face?

Skynet becomes self-aware ^_^

 

[Xaryn Mar]

As I said in a much earlier thread on the same topic (slightly differently worded though):

It will be the winter equinox, the shortest day of the year and 3 days later it will be christmas.

 

[El Poncho]

Well i'm guessing the mayans all died out and thats why they ended.

 

[razer17]

Scientific evidence showspredicts that this may happen, if we don't change, which we are that dicks will begin to rocket skyward not on 2012, but between 2020-2050. I do not expect the world to last until the latter date, as we not only have a meteor approaching us but nobody cares about global warming and scientists won't stop dicking around with particles that could cause black holes and kill us all.

The meteor has a tiny, minuscule chance of hitting us. And even if it did come towards us, im sure there are contingency plans.
And by scientists you mean nuclear physicist. I would like you to tell a nuclear physicist to work on fixing global warming. it would be like asking a first aider to perform brain surgery. Plus the chance of creating a blackhole is ridiculously small in the first place.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Some dude will set the world on fire.
Just so he can say "ashes to ashes... dust to dust."
Or maybe a star bazilions of light years away will blow up destroying a civilization much like ours.

If you look at the darkest point in the night sky, with a high-tech telescope and zoom a while, you will see thousands of lights. No they are not stars, they are galaxies.

There are more planets than all the deserts have sand particles, there obviously are lot of planets that have intelligent life dwelling on them.
It would be odd to think that we are something unique.

since when does life even matter? no life is significant. no one matters. all intelligent life does is live for awhile, and then eventually die out. no matter how evolved. humans dont matter, neither do any aliens or other lifeforms. nothing matters. if we all die, you know who will care nobody, and if someone does care, they will soon die. life really doesnt matter, nothing and noone is significant. existing really isnt a whole lot different from nothing, cause either way it doesnt matter. depressing i know

The present life only matters to us. When we die, life will be the problem of the next generation.
There will always be someone who cares.



It's a peculiar thing, though. That I just though about end of the world at 2012, earlier today.
I promised myself, that I'll stay up all the day and see what happens. Probably nothing.
