[Locked] 2012 Real? Or A Scare Tactic?

No , not this again , please guys don't fall for this trap ....

I was planning on watching "2012" tomorrow.......

Well I think the whole idea of the end of the world in 2012 is rubbish. However, who knows, we don't have the ability to predict the future after all. Anyway, I have already planned out my activities in case the end of the world does come.

Ugh, not to get too tangential, but all of these apocalypse movies are pissing me off now. I mean we've always had them, but we've had like what, hundreds since 2000 especially since 9/11?

It just irks me to bank on the sketchy will of the American citizens, yet we are the ones who can't seem to see enough of them so I guess it doesn't matter. I just don't like it. It got so old after the first few in 2000. -_-

There are Maya decendents still alive following the same calander that their ancestors did. Acording to them in 2012 its not the end of the world but a new beginning. Take it as you will, but to me it doesn't mean the end of the world.

Fallout The Motion Picture Confirmed.

Nah seriously though. I'm starting to get tired of it as well. And even if it is true (which I doubt) What's the use masturbating the concept and enticing so much freak out over it. End of the World=We all die so why spend all your waking time fearing it?

In 2012 the world will end, in the movies XD that's all I feel like pointing out. Shit happens get on with it. I have seen to much idiotic stuff to believe stuff like this. However if in 2012 the world of stupidity ends because we invent something useful to enlighten and convince all the ignorant people of the truth it would be awesome :P

Yea they just didn't have time to think ahead.

Haha, I'm glad someone agrees with me. Seems like every time I bring that up in a conversation among friends or on another forum I seemed to get chased away as if what I said is pure heresy.

this is still on the serious discussion forum?
stupid
my addiction forum was moved because apparently it is not serious
stupid

You didn't really encourage a serious discussion related to it. You would have been better just asking everyone if they thought they had an internet addiction rather than adding a tacky questionnaire.

Mayan Great Cycle Calendar: 5,125
Current Cycle Started at: August 13, 3114 B.C
Ends at: December 21, 2012

Civilization started at: 10,000+ B.C

Question: Before the current great cycle, what happened during the end of the previous cycle? Did anything happen during August 12, 3114 B.C?

Answer: Nothing happened. Restarted the calendar and started to do the same shit till they evolved.

Congratulations, however, you forgot one thing.
What if they started making the calendar midway, because they didn't figure out what would happen till then? As in, the actual cycel started mayby 600.000* years ago?

On a side note, i watched the movie and i am fairly certain such a thing would never happen, don't get all hyped by it please. At least don't slit your throat untill you actually see the Earth getting ripped apart, 'kay folks?

* Random amount.

You need to remember the Mayans were really good astronomers for their time. Rather than what the movie shows with the Earth splitting apart and all that stuff.... Has anyone considered that the threat could be coming from the universe?

Although, it's highly unlikely as I'm sure NASA would have seen some sort of object approaching at high speed.

However, what the can't really detect are Gamma Rays that could be aimed right at us! Well, they can I suppose, but when they actually do... We're already dead.... What do you do about that!? Nothing... You can't do squat. Our atmosphere is going to be destroyed and everything else along with it. At least if it was a meteor, we could try and destroy it.

Lol. So much crap in the Universe that could destroy us. Fun fun....

yeah sorry i posted this while i was angry sorry :S

There has been some reports that our polar magnetism is shifting, thus weakening it enough so that if a solar flare or any other such outer-space activity stuck us, all life on earth would dissapear. Solar flares are made of pure gamma radiation. You would need many, many tons of lead to block even a small amount of gamma radiation.

In a few years, North will be South, due to the shifting poles. This is scientifically predicted to be around 3 or 4 years from now.

Now, I believe the reason for the shifts is because both poles need to rest. After all, nothing has limitless energy.

Anyway, The Myan calender had 5 catistropic events on its dates. 4 have actually happened. Each has been enough to reduce the life on earth by an extreamly noticable anount. Each date has been checked, and it was confermed that they each happened on the written date.

Of coutse, this does not prove anything. The Myans were absolutely obssesed with time, so perhaps they didn't have tme to waste on extending the calender.

If NASA says it's pure bs, I say it's pure bs!

Halley comet anyone?
The only possible senario for the world to end is human blow up each other themselves.

Planet Nibiru theory is the only plausible theory I see.

Big galactic chunk with very large orbit getting too close to Earth, changing our tide levels to catastrophic and sending a giant tidal wave to circle Earth, causing a biblical great flood.

Since most religions and myths have a great flood story, I can only assume this happened once already.

Still, its just another theory, and what are the odds of it coming at us at 12/21/12?
