1. the calendar only goes to a certain point, the mayans did not say this meant the world would end at this point.

2. when that day is, therefore, is irelevant to even conspiracy theorist morons.

This.  To expand on this, also:

The Mayan calendars were made starting with a short calendar and then combining that calendar with others to make longer time spans.  The Long calendar, even if it was accurately going to end in 2012, just meant that was their longest combination created.  This could be for a variety of reasons such as they saw no need to expand a calendar any further since it was going so far ahead of their current time frame anyways.
