I can't wait for December 22nd 2012, so I can stop hearing about this crap

I completely agree.  Except for the fact that there will be another predicted Doomsday after that.  It never ends.

agreed.

Michel de Nostredame followers are trying to connect everything together now with the Mayan calendar this time around, they had it worked out with Hillies comet, then it was May 1999 when all these conjunctions was going to take place now its the Mayan calendar.

 the problem is if anyone does any real investigation for themselves what the Mayan's really said or what Nostradamus really wrote down in his original book they don't even look close to what these TV documenters say they said or wrote

Yeah, I've look at Nostradamus' quatrains and you could pull any meaning that you want to out of what he said.  His 'predictions' were so vague that you could claim numerous events to each fit of his 'predictions'.

You know just about every year I hear someone say the world is gonna end.

Guess what? ITS STILL FUCKING HERE BITCHES!

Seriously, people have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years. If it is going to end, it will be because we end it.

 

Akuma is right. It is very arrogant to think that the "end of days" will happen in your lifetime. Everyone assumes they are important, but in the scheme of things, we really aren't at all. Its possible the world could end at any time, but it is far far far more likely that humanity will end because of mans own doing. The world still won't end, but if we humanity dies, why would we care.

I would be more worried about the all-out-nucleur war that could happen at ANY TIME... (though its still not all that likely. )

Don't use doomsday prohecies as an excuse to slack off... I though 6/6/06 would be the end of the world, so I slacked off my first 2 years in high school. Boy, that was really stupid.

LOL at year 1000. The late 990's was a good time to be a criminal or a peasant it seems.

I bet we get alot now becuase A) we can accuractly record all of them, whereas in history we only hear of the big ones and

B) we are still near the year 2000

Funny the Mayans never predicted their own doom at the hands of the spanish. (Too soon?) I don't trust them with predictions, even though there is evidence behind it that there will be huge climate shifts etc., It will suck, but a doomsday, no.

Mayans were amazing astronomers, mathematicians and architects. Predicters of doomsday we will see.

What I find more fascinating is that it seems like humans consistently want the end of the world to come about.

In my Anglo-Saxon english lit class I read wulfstans "sermo lupi" or Sermon of the wolf, and he talks about the end of days as near in the 10th century CE/AD. You see these ideas always popping up throughout history. It's depressing, because it is sort of a perverse fascination with destruction. People say they fear it, but I believe people actually want the end of all life, maybe subconsciously, because clearly they bring it up enough.
