Well atleast we're lucky as shit that we have the magnetic "shield" around us so that we dont get the heat from the solar flares unlike on Mars, we would be toast if that was the case.

For something to relate to i guess you could see it the way the movie "The Road" played out, although this isnt very likely . First off: source? Second: Your assumption is that the solar flare will basically fuck up every satellite, and every electronic device on the whole world, and that will be the start of the end of the world. nice
Yeah NASA diddnt say that at all, they said the next sloar maximum (happens around every 11 years) would likley be in 2013 and they said a big solar flare COULD hit us at this time.
As i understand it though, it would only fuck up the the electrical grid or any electrical device if its turned on, so if given a warning, any problems could be avoided. Im not totally sure about that though, somone please correct me if im wrong.

They are resetting the internet in 2012?

The calendar use was interrupted due to some conflict thus the 2012 date is an error, it is recent archeology discovery, new calculation show the calendar ends in 2116.

thats just done by the gouvernment to prevent a global panic
haha jk its so easy to create conspiracys
but source? :D
i bet noone of us made the actual calculation from mayan days into our calender
we just believe what the almighty internets tells us

Mayans were bored of looking at the sky all day, thats the story they used to make the kids go to bed, dont let them scare you.
But seriously, if you look at most documentarys about this they are all WRITTERS making up storys on vague scientist facts. ooommmg, gsl starting BOXER FIGHTING!!! This is the most sensible post of this thread. Too bad Boxer dropped from Code S. 
This whole 21 December thingy could be counted as another conspiracy theory bullshit based on vague interpretations of Mayan myths. It's just that the End of The World is pretty catchy. It could have just as well been a prophecy of alien mutant bears attack, it would hold just as much significance...
Do you seriously believe that those Mayans had some way to predict events that will happen next year and today's scientists can not? Don't you think that maybe, just maybe, those who believe in this bullshit try to find something to justify their theories?
Hopefully by then EMP will be a missile so we can at least try to dodge it. This is up to Blizzard, man. You just have to accept that some things you can not influence.

That's pretty bad. I was really looking forward to see the end of the world live but that destroyed my dreams. : /

no mayans ever said anything of the sort

There was a guy at my school who was never listening to the teacher during class. One day i asked him "why don't you ever do anything at school?" he awnsered "because it would be a waste of time, the world will end with the year 2000 computer failure". I wonder what he do now and i think he is an example of why u must never lsiten to those stories about end of the world.

HAHAHAHAHA he got pwned!
Agreed, even if you believe the apocalypse stuff, you still have to live life because there's always the chance that life COULD go on normally and you could get fffuuuckkkked
So, even if he is cheesing you can't just all-in and forget your lategame plan! Ridiculous! This is why you shouldn't pay too much attention to apocolypse/doom stories, because you're better off ignoring it.
I swear, as soon as we hit December 22, 2012, we're gonna have ANOTHER apocolypse shit we never heard of before. :/

Hopefully it's Fantasy who will be shooting the missile -_-

Maya were like other people, they ended their calendar when they written enough to have a good margin before some other pages should be added. They could have eventualy continued it if they didn't disappear (oh sh*t... they didn't see it comming... but did they see the end of the world?)

21 december 2012 is a friday. I refuse to believe the world will end on a friday, that would really be the worst possible timing ever. The world ending on a monday, that i can understand.
Edit:
Just saw the Rebecca Black clip and I realise friday has now lost it's meaning to me. Maybe the Mayans knew this.

Well actually it's just that their calendar ends at 2012.. they're not saying that the world will end, they just though thtat making a calendar 500 years forward would suffice for their present needs. I mean we make calendars for one year forward.. doesn't mean that there is no future from that point onward.
The youtube video doesn't work for me, but basically that's where the 2012 nonsence is coming from, even tho the video might be speaking for another opinion

I wonder if in one hundred years from now humanity would be as stupid as now. Oh now tchecoslovakian guitarist from 1980 predicted 130 years ago that the world will end tomorrow and his sister was a physists, must have known well what he was talking about.
Better drink my own piss

well if the world does end in 2012- ill die pretty at least.

Isn't it possible, if the solar flare is large enough, for the ozone layer to be completely vaporized? That would basically end all life over the course of a week.
