I believe most of us would think that it wont really be the end of the world then but I was wondering how you think most people would react, would there be massive riots and mayhem due to paranoid people?

I'm sure that we will have some rioting, but unless we lose power or something like that. I don't see that widespread of rioting

What happened in 2000 anyways? I can't really remember.

weren't we suppose to die every year since 2000?

Well if the world had just ended I doubt there would be much rioting.

I'm talking about days before...

Near December the amount of door to door missionaries will go flying up...

If you want to see a thought provoking and enjoyable film about the end of the world that answers just that question. Get the 1997 film "Last Night" By Don McKeller.

One of my favourites. But I'll warn you now, there isn't a single special effect and it has nothing to do with heroes trying to save the world.

The reason why the Mayans stopped making calendersis because they got killed off by the Spanish.

I'm not sure if people really believe the world will end in 2012. Everyone says it will be the end but there won't be rioting unless we somehow find out before hand. No need to riot if its not going to happen.
