^and apparently men are more likely to be suicidal than women so.....

Anyway the mayan calender is a complete crock maybe if the mayans had existed for another thousand years or so they may have added on a few more years?
And how the hell would the mayans get the information about the end of the world in the first place?

Truth be told I wouldn't mind being part of the 'end.' Then you wouldn't have to wonder what you're missing out on in terms of the future.

However, those looking at the 'signs' that the world is coming to an end are just grasping at straws. Even for conjecture, they all seem weak. Basically not a single 2012 theory is not extrapolated beyond the data given. For example...

Fact: Mayan calendar cycle ends on 2012.
Fear: The Mayans say the world ends in 2012!
Reality: No, it just means the calendar cycle ends. -.-

Hey mods, purely for educational purposes, so I don't unintentionally get banned in the future, what caused the 2nd last post on page 25 to get banned?

I'm always so nervous to post my thoughts or anything for that matter in the fear of getting warned or even worse banned >.<

Thank you

The world ending is one thing. It's the world almost ending and me surviving it that scares me.

Im not a mod but search the forums for Ban List and look for him there.
Why are we too worried about 2012? y2k happened and we are still here. Its fun to come up with theories but we gotta remember that they are just that, theories.

Because he used his necromancer powers to summon this thread from the crypt for virtually no reason. Dark magic isn't taken lightly on TL.

No, just read the bolded text in the ban thread and you will understand why;)

Ok, my prediction would be that in 2012 the world is still spinning and life will continue like it always did. Prediction's don't always come true but i'm pretty sure i will be right with this one

I wonder if anyone is so sure that the world is going to end on 21st December 2012, they will do something totally wreckless on the 20th like robbing a bank or something.

The saddest thing about "the end of the world" is that when it DOESN'T happen for the millionth time, no one cares.
It's like "meh, it didn't happen whatevs, but OH WAIT it will happen next time for sureee"

Infinite fucking loop..

I dont believe in an end of the world.
i just think that the human race A.K.A Homo Sapiens will get extincted, the world will probably cure of all the damage we did and a new species will be made. or probably an ice age will fix that, but that will get all the viruses we had on our time, but who knows
we all gotta die someday anyways, :/

I think it's a little strong to suggest the Mayan's "predicted it" have a read of this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerican_Long_Count_calendar. It is actually just the end of a cycle, it has happened before, and will again. Infact, the Mayan's treated it as a time of great celebration (Kinda like 1999-2000 was in our culture, a big party year). I don't think you should suggest something so inaccurate. Carry on, though.

My calendar ends in December.

...oh SHI-

Seriously though the whole thing is a crock of shite, there is absolutely zero reason to think the world will inexplicably end in 2012. To that banned guy on the previous page (thehitman I think?), there are always natural disasters, there are always wars and there is always one crisis or another happening. Take any point in the 20th century and you could claim there were signs of the End Times everywhere.

For instance say the Mayan calendar ended in the 1940's, there'd be people saying 'The world has been plunged into the biggest war in history, do you think it's a coincidence that all this is happening near when the Mayans predicted the world would end?'

Anyway what people seem to forget is that if the world is indeed going to end in 2012, that means that the Mayans had magic fucking powers.
