Ok, all of the mayan shit is complete crap, but I still feel a sense of anticipation for 2012.
Maybe its just the general buzz/ hub bub, the collective din of society if you will, but I definitely feel something. I think anyone would be lying if they said they wouldn't feel slightly anxious going to bed on December 20th 2012. I know I will, despite the fact that there is absolutely 0 rational cause as to why something special would happen on that day (that we know of now).
Interesting how that works tho. Maybe its just me being optimistic for the future. You guys feel me?

I find it hard to believe that you're not going to feel any sort of excitement (probably just because the whole media coverage will be very entertaining) when the day roles around.
I didn't believe in Y2K yet I felt a pretty genuine excitement, just because it was entertaining to see people react to nothing.
We'll just have to wait and see.

I hope there is a mass koolaid suicide so that we can rid ourselves of all the stupid fucks who believe this shit. Party in 2013.

the world will end in 2012 if everyone tries hard enough

We are all going to die.
It's a conspiracy planned by the social, political, and economic elite.
I have credible sources.
They will all escape to a secret NATO Martian facility before the world falls apart, leaving the masses to burn in their own wretchedness.
Surrender to our Martian overlords or face retribution for several millennia of sin and debauchery.

I'm excited to see it come and go so I can watch the global reaction. Maybe if enough people think the world is gonna end, and then it doesn't, they'll find new reasons to enjoy life and make the world a better place. It's a long shot, but it's a nice thought at least.

If the Mayans could see the future then why didn't they escape Cortez?

If they end up enjoying life just because they didn't die from a stupid Mayan prophecy then their lives are meaningless.

Idk if this has been said, but there is a legitimate chance the world does end in dec, 2012, since it will be directly after the presidential election and if Palin or Gingrich got elected, we could literally all die.

Believe it. You are easily influenced by the media. Doesn't mean others are too.

I can't wait for that day. My gang have all scheduled that week off and plan to party as much as we can. Then I am going to stay with my wife all night till the very end.

Here's to two more years of living like every day is the last day of my life. Kudos to everyone and God bless.
P.S. If we make it through, I am gonna come on TL and bump this topic. A message to the future me: GG PP, that was a good two years.
|
Well at least 2012 is before I graduate with my degree and am forced to start working full-time. University life is so easy, I wouldn't feel so bad if it all had to end there. 
Edit: seeing as this is gonna be bumped, hi future me! Got a girlfriend yet? Do you still eat cereal for lunch and dinner because you're to lazy to cook/go out? Fuck you if you do

I should find some durable media, write some apocalyptic prophecy in it, and freeze myself. Unfreeze in 300 years and see how many people are going "zomg world will end in 4 hours now."
What the hell? I'm writing on the most durable medium ever!
The world will end on Gregorian year 2300.
(Actually, I'm wondering about the y2038 problem. We should patch it up by then, but what if we didn't? I wonder what kind of problems it could potentially cause.)

My birthday is on the 20th of December, so hopefully I'll fall asleep stupid drunk and happy.

Yeah, it actually coincides with the day they are going to test for the "god" particle in the biggest particle accelerator build in Switzerland. Mankind is going to artificially create a wormhole that will consume the whole world and that would be it.
Someone want to counter this? How is it that the days perfectly coincide with one of the riskiest things in the history of mankind.
So its not just some baseless thing, its actually quite accurate thing.
