Mayan calender ends blah blah blah. Do you think there is any possibility that the world will end Dec 21? Will we have much time to play GW2 before we all go up in a puff of smoke?

    They found another calendar, so probably not.

    Well it didn't end during Y2k or when they activated the Large Hadron Collider, so I'm leaning towards no.

    I certainly hope so.

    If I remember right the end of that calender (cycle) is the beginning of the next cycle. They ( the Mayans) just didnt change calenders yearly.

    Maybe not the end of the world but im betting on something signifant happening, just to prove the myth right :)

    Why do people put any stock in doomsday predictions of a people that did not even have metallurgy and thus effectively lived in the stone age? Why do people put faith in doomsday predictions at all, really?

    We all know the truth of the path our Planet is going down but we dont admit it, so we wish for a miracle to happen to prevent it, a natural disaster would be top of this list of what could help prevent it.

    The world has been scheduled to die on pretty much any and every day you could pick by someone or another. Thus far, we have a 100% failure rate on those predictions. The Mayans had even less insight into today's world than most of these, and none of their other assumptions about the future came true, why the hell is this any different?

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

    December 21st will come and go just like every other supposed 'Doomsday'. You'd think after hundreds of failed doomsday predictions people would stop falling for this utter nonsense. image

    I think of doomsday events as the ultimate pessimism of a person who wants to die but doesn't want to do it themselves.

    Doomsday will happen when people stop trying to second-hand guess the time and hour.

    No one knows so their points remain invalid. Until then they will continue to hype it and people will fall for it.

     

    I've heard and seen cases were people thought the world was ending so they ended up selling their houses or draining all the money from their accounts. Only to be left with the stagnant reality that the earth is still there and they are too!

    America better hope the world ends this year.  This country is in a socioeconomic tailspin that it will likely never recover from. :(

     

    If you've gotta go out, may as well go out on top rather than becoming an allegorical modern day Roman Empire.

    Actually the Roman Empire fell because of aliens. I learned this from that crazy guy from Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. It's on the History Channel so it has to be true. I guess that means the world will end with an alien invasion. I don't know what form it will take, but I'm putting my money on Tiberium. While US money still has value, because Tiberium is going to change the game as far as wealth goes.

    Alien Invasion? like how? "Mars Attack!"? XD

    Sorry, i just don't watch history channel. If we get invaded by aliens how sure are you that they are going to destroy the whole planet? Can't we just make a peace contract with them? hahaha *peacemaker XD

     

     

    and just to answer the question, NO it is not going to end on Dec 21, 2012. They don't even have proof. The Mayan Calendar doesnt count.

    I'll be at the beach, with my guitar, playing that one REM song, and they will think I'm brilliant.

    All these recent doomsday scares have done wonders for my social life.

    Of course not, there are always people who claim this or that to make some bucks. Allegedly the world did end probably dozens of times already if you would believe such stories and look back about such stories.

    No, The whole Mayan Calender ordeal is new age propaganda to seduce people into believing in a judgment day. To me it seems like a conditioning tactic to see what the populus would do. Anyways, most of the "new agers" believe that day will bring a spiritual enlightenment to lead us into a spiritual evolution. I do not agree with that belief because basically what they think will happen is that those who can "spiritualy evolve" can become divine like. The same lie in the garden.
