is anyone else sick of these goddamn 2012 threads? use the search bar
OT: nothing will happen, and if something does, no one will even notice, because we will be dead. were all gonna die regardless so if you worry about this then you obviously obsess over your own mortality(very understandable as i used to), and were not special as a race and we dont get a prophecy of doom. we will die when we do, and nothing will foretell it. we will die whether it be alone or with the rest of the world.
so just kick it and enjoy life, dying cant be that bad

Go watch Penn and Tellers, "Bullshit", the episode on 2012. 2012 is a wacky conspiracy theory, in no way coherent, consistent, or sensical. There's no reason to consider anything in it legit, and even the Mayan writings say absolutely nothing about an apocalypse.
The y2k comparison is surprisingly appropriate. Y2K was based around old computer programming not accounting for the computer date and time adjusting for a date that begins with 20 instead of 19. So people in the past just weren't concerned about something decades in the future, because they figured they would never have to deal with it. Meanwhile, the Mayans just weren't concerned with there calendar accounting for CENTURIES in the future. That's because they figured they wouldn't have to deal with it. There's no reason to worry, except maybe some asshole doing something crazy because the Mayans figured they had enough time to add a few more pages to there calendar. Like, eons. Literally.

Actually, there was no doomsday prophecy to go with 2012 for the Mayans. The calendar just stops there with no mention of it being anything special. Because they had to stop somewhere, and 2012 was an amply far off enough date. Then conspiracy theorists see that the calendar stops,, and start making stuff up.Carlos263 said:
IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AGHHHHHH!!!!
In all seriousness. A zombie apocalypse is more likely than the world physically ending. In fact aliens landing on earth is more likely. In fact... (need I go on?)

No.
NO.
The world will be ended by dinosaurs in the year 4055. It's all written in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I don't know what commercial you're talking about, but I'll tell you what I think of all 2012 apocalypse theories. They are bullshit. It all stems from an over exaggerated misinterpretation of the ancient Mayan calender. Besides we've been supposedly been living in the end times for the past 1000+ years or so and yet we're still here.
In a slightly unrelated note, does anyone remember when Chris Jericho debuted in the WWF? The whole "Millennium Clock" Shtick they had going? I wonder if they'll do the same thing with this impending doom? Maybe for, COLT CABANA? (This thread has officially been hijacked by Muhammad Hassan, it is now Wrestling Discussion.)

Guess what kids, I think the world will end in 2012 because the history channel told me so. Haven't you seen all those convincing yet thinly and obscurely connected predictions? How CAN'T it happen?
We're mowing the lawn, and selling oranges off the freeway. And yes I just insulted my heritage a bit. Actually according to my family's placement in Mexico, I belonged to the one of the tribes that was ransacked and used for human sacrifice by the Mayans. And yes that was my ancestor who was kicking their ass in Apocolypto... kidding.oneniesteledain said:
I doubt they predicted the end of the world 2012. Though chances are they are laughing at all the people who do believe in it. Every prediction I've encountered for 2012 has been debunked scientifically. The term Planet X has been coined since they days when people were looking for Neptune (its gravity was affecting the orbit of planet Uranus), and celestial alignments (look up Jupiter Effect for a good laugh) have already "happened" several times in human history.Cavouku said:
They were actually mathematical geniuses. They came up with the concept of the number 0 before the Romans. They also pimped the pyramid at Chichén-Itzá by having the shadow of the staircase create a snake every equinox.
If you're looking for more of a good laugh, I've posted a link below called 30 days when the world when the world didn't end.

Come on people, that's off-topic. This thread is now about Professional Wrestling.
I didn't mean to imply there were no people of Mayan descent. I should've said "Where is their civilization now?"BrownGaijin said:
Link bookmarked, my family'll get a kick out of that. Thanks.
i think that time is when we will find out everything that people have done wrong with our countrys. it isnt physcal its more of finding out how bad things already is. but thats just me thinking of the futur for who knows how far. we arent going to lose the world at that time. whats with people and the incas calander.
lol @ 50% calling you an idiot
when I have a sneaking suspicion most of them are christian
Not all "speculation" on 2012 is negative. I've heard theories that it'll just be an apex of technology, or a great change is the worldly zeitgeist. All of the theories are questionable, but always fascinating.
I wouldn't worry. Even if somehow the world was ending, what can you do?
