Whether 2012 would truly be the Apocalypse or not; anybody have plans for it, or placing bets or anything?

For example, on the day of Armageddon, so to put it, I'm throwing an "end of days" party. While everyone across the globe is in a panic, those who still have their head on will hang out and welcome the end in peace.

But just in case the "end of days" is a sham, I'm placing 1:3 odds that we'll have a population boom (or mass abortion) due to so many paranoid people getting it on within the week of the apocalypse, only to learn it wouldn't happen.

Hell, if it is a sham, I got me a nice mean joke/question to ask some old friends for my 10-year class reunion if I attend it. ;D

I'm happy to say most people don't seem to really believe in the 2012 phenomenon.  Just a frighteningly large minority.

The thing that I find most frustrating about the 2012 TBer, is that they can't be wrong.

Their isn't anything taken set in stone for this particular thing of woo, the date, month and events can be anything just as long as it happens in 2012.

Even the wording of end of the world, is terribly vague, there the most dramatic meaning then there the more esoteric meaning. And there so many flavors of 2012, there the novel time theory (read theory here, as blatant idiocy with no validity and predictive power), to nostradumus prediction, to the planet nibru colliding, to social political change (as it so happen to also be with a presidential change) john casey predictions, mayan calendar and various other smaller predictions and 'signs' with it.

So when nothing major happen on 2012, it won't matter.

No matter the angle, there deep seeded flaw with it. The one being spoken of here, with the mayian was started in the seventies, as is with most modern woo and new age stuffs. The person who spouted this nonsense, openly took took LSD and various other drugs who holds a doctorate in literature I believe and communed with the mayian spirits, that has never studied Mayan culture.

The TBers with these views are crazy I was in a discussion with one that held the belief that the mayan empire allowed itself to have genocide committed by the spanish, and the sixteenth century spanish conquers and the spanish government to date had untold influence over everything mayan and censored information cept for a few mavericks.

I could ramble on about this subject. 8/

Also, 2012, was a crappy movie.

So it was just hard core destruction-"porn" with some cheap version of an older sci-fi story attached? (I'm referring of course to the story that sets the scene for Firefly, people abandoning earth on newly built spaceships)

2012 is the end of Central America. As can be seen from all the multiple earthquakes in the area.

Understatement. The plot had more holes than swiss cheese, the atmosphere was wrong, someone seriously screwed up the models on the ships, spoiler below...

So, in 2000, we expect nukes to start to fire off at random because the military is lazy with updating Nuke Targeting software (Or something).

In 06/06/06 we decide Satan is going to head on up to earth because calendars are actually complex demon summoning tools in disguise.

And now, at the end of 2012 we expect the world to just up and die.

It's like every 6 1/2 years we get lazier and lazier with our Apocalyptic prophesies.

If it gets any worse than the world dying from the Mayan calander we'd be logical in assuming that whoever came up with it was on meth or something at the time.

There's always tons of world-endign theories, and I'm sure a good portion of them are meth related.

It's just which ones become popular.

The Y2K bug was real concern, it could have delayed countless things, costing hundred of millions and possibly billions in revenue and man hours. That was a real world crisis.

Still not causing the end of the world.

Well, silly me I used past tense verbiage and that meant happening right, and the international effort to help amend the issue into compliance, of a problem that was going to plague us in ten years ago, isn't plaguing us now, meant that it didnt have the plausibility of plaguing us ten years.  ;)

I'm more worried about the 2038 bug which doesn't have such an obvious solution.
