do you actually believe the world will end on 2012?

I think the Mayan calendar stopped there because just like today we can only predict so far into the future in other words they just couldn't plan any more ahead.

I think the calender maker simply got tired of making calenders.

HOWEVER; there are more than just that that predicts 2012. For example, Nostradamus (I hope I spelled that right). He said that the world would end in 2012, and he was definitely not part of the Mayan culture. How would two different people know the year of the end of the world so far apart in time and in totally different parts of the world?

Hmm...I predict that nothing will happen...and that alone will scare people the most. Then people wll cause the ends themselves. It makes sense, the old saying, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself."

How many people had cornflakes for breakfast last morning?

There's a lot of stuff said to be predicted by Nostradamus. The last thing I heard taking him as a valid source was Armageddon 2000.

Dude, that stupid Armageddon was really annoying it announced itself with big words and left everything unfinished.

who knows maby the events of 2000 kicked off a 12 year plan that ultamatly ends the world,
but also know that their is no such thing as luck many would say, it is fate. and also many things that nostradomis(sp) has predicted has came similar to events, like one of his predictions is similar to the world trait centers being blown up(and i did say similar so you cant rule this argument soley on that))  

idiotic randomness

It's called a self fullfilling prophecy.

I could also make a general statement like "You will see a lot of people in red shoes, during the next days." And you will see a lot of people in red shoes, because you start to focus on the peoples feet and recognise all the red shoes more than shoes in other colors.

I could also say "In a few months you will witness something unbelievable."

I highly doubt the world's going to end. It's just the end of the mayian calendar. I think it will be lil another era, or something how there was B.C and A.D...Maybe it will be something different. I don't know but I really don't think it's going to end.

mmm, let's not make this a religious thing, shall we?




As for my own idea, I think that 2012 will be simply a new beginning, since the Mayan calendar, which everyone loves to comment on, simply marks a cycle, and when the calendar reaches 1/1/1 again (basically, not actually), or maybe 0/0/0, whichever you prefer, there will be essentially a reset of ideas.

One thing that's just as plausible as the next that popped into my head just now: we could very well be visited/contacted by an extra terrestrial life form in some manner. not saying it's good or bad, but still. maybe the god Quetzalcoatl is simply an interstellar visitor who told the Mayans when he'd be back. like we'd know, nobody's deciphered enough of the Scripts, and those a*****e conquistadors had to go and burn all their books...
