All I know is I'll be 21 or so and I'll have had a good life and if it's time for me to go, then it's time for me to go. It's just interesting to see how these guys predict these things, pretty spooky. :shifty2:

November ...I hope...Ive always thought it was December...its atleast around that time...I know that for sure.
I watched that History Channel Special and it was interesting, but people around the world have been doing this for centuries. Y2k was the latest example: Electronics going haywire, things going awry, it didn't happen. There was many of these prophecies. One of them was about this Christian man (sorry, but forgot his name) who had used the Bible to see and predict that the world would end sometime around like 1600 or so. He told all the people that the world would end, and many people believed him, but again nothing happened. People put too much into prophecies. Ever wonder why someone finds a "correct" prediction of Nostradamus AFTER the thing happened? It's all about interpretation. Someone may think that it means this, while another may not. There are many doomsday prophecies by various people. People are so into this thing, like the Bible Code, even though it's not that deep as people think. These theories have been very diverse, stating that the world will end to that aliens will come, or that we will become more in touch with the world.I'm sorry that I'm taking this exactly from wikipedia but it proves my point:"Maya stela occasionally show dates beyond 2012. Most of these are in the form of "distance dates", where a Long Count date is given with a distance date to be added. For example, on Tikal Stela 10 we find the following Long Count date: 9.8.9.13.0 8 Ahau 13 Pop (24th March 603 AD Gregorian) with a distance date of 10.11.10.5.8. The resulting date is given as 1.0.0.0.0.8 5 Lamat 1 Mol, or 21st October 4772 AD ? almost 3,000 years into the future.""Despite the publicity generated by the 2012 date, Susan Milbraath, curator of Latin American Art and Archaeology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, stated that "We [the archaeological community] have no record or knowledge that [the Maya] would think the world would come to an end" in 2012.""For the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle," says Sandra Noble, executive director of the Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies in Crystal River, Fla. To render Dec. 21, 2012, as a doomsday or moment of cosmic shifting, she says, is "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."Much like with Y2k (the many "life preserving kits") this is mostly some loose interpretation that is most probably going to be used to make a lil money. I am not saying that people made this date up just for money, but people will try to milk it for something.This just happens to be something that will not happen again for a long time (a new millenium in 2000 as well) and people think that there HAS to be some significance to it. Evangelists have been telling people on t.v. for years that the "end times are coming, repent now." Then they pass the collection plate, and ask for you to buy some Jesus Juice to help cure AIDS.
I'm going to get completly sh*t faced on 12/21/2012, just incase. I'll be in my basement with a computer and viagra

Alot of people believed in Y2K, looked what happened to them- They looked like dumbassesWhat I'm saying is, don't believe every prophecy you hear of, because a majority of them never come true, while some are found AFTER the event happened, which makes them useless. Usually the ones after (mostly Nostradamus) are very vague in what they say and can mean anything.
yo F*ck it if we all die it's ok....we all had a great time on BBW so lets live up the next 5 years guys!!!!

wow... I never even said thatIt also made "perfect sense" back then for the times. A certain "Anti-Christ"(many people believe it may be Bush, or other leader) . Battle between religions (like now as well), mass killings (not as bad as then, but still many). There were also major natural disasters back then as well.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Justice @ Jul 4 2007, 07:31 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Yeah, but the Maya calendar wasn't ending then.Check and mate.</div>Do you even know about the Mayan Calender? There are different cycles, we are in the last one. Just because we are in the last one doesn't mean that well it uh... REPEATS itself again from the beginning. December 21st 2012, is the winter solstice, nothing really special there. The calender reverts itself back to the starting point, which has not been done for thousands of years or so. A mayan cycle or "world" is 5,200 years. We are in the final 5th cycle (however some people say that we are in the 4th, hence not the last one), which is set to repeat again. Also the galaxy is supposed to align, this yet again happens in cycles. The Mayans predicted that as well. Just because they stopped making a calendar all of a sudden means the end of it all. Why is that people think that they are always so dam special? Why is it that the end of the world happens when I"M ALIVE. So egocentric down there. Every generation has thought that, using vague interpretations of ancient texts to prove their somewhat selfish point.The great fire of 1666 in London, surely the people there thought it was the end for them with the prophecies that managed to apply with them.Yet again Y2K also had some biblical context to it as well, further making it more believable.These prophecies are so vague that they can be interpreted and connected with the any negative event. The only thing that seems somewhat probable is that the polar ends may shift, not marking the end of the world in one day. Like I said before, the Mayans made dates AFTER December 21st 2012. The Christian sect I stated before who said the world would end around 1840 did not end. The people still believed in it, saying that the end of the world in 1841 was misinterpreted. This is where the end of the world prophecies can be at fault. One event may not seem so disastrous to another.Considering that even the Mayans made a time after this, and that they believed in cycles, why is it so far fetched to believe that it can repeat and that the world won't end? I can see what seem people believe with the St. Malachy prophecies about the Pope and the end of the world w/ the antichrist. But yet again, like the Nostradamus prophecies they are so vague and open to interpretations anything can apply to them. People in Malachy's time said that he had healing powers and could levitate, does that make him godly? So Chris Angel can predict the end of the world as well? The Mayan calender is predicting a major celestial movement that doesn't happen often, why does the world end? The bible Code (which is a hoax in itself) can be decoded to say that the world will end in 2048. OMG its a religious text frombackthendecoded! It's a secret, it must be tru because some guy found it out. Granted there are more things that can apply to the end of the world in 2012 then say 2000, but that does not mean that it is true. In the Bible, it says (paraphrasing it here) that no one, not even Jesus, knows when the world will end. Only God does. (Sorry, I am not Christian, and don't know the extents of the Bible, but that is pretty clear cut there).These hocus pokus theories can be very entertaining, and have some truth to them, but half of the time you learn from it from a geocities website with flashing neon green and pink text telling you to how to live through it.
There's no importance to pointing out that the calendar works in cycles. It's impossible to continue a cycle when the earth explodes.
