Default 2012

Is this not the biggest bunch of bullsh*t ever?

At least 1988, 2000, hell even 2007 was based on SOME actual evidence, by that I mean religious kook evidence, 2012 dosen't even have that.

It's all about the Mayan calandar, we're talking about a civilization that made human sacrifices and believed sinkholes were portals to the underworld, they couldn't even predict their own downfall, how are we supposed to believe that these guys can predict the end of the world? Oh wait, they DIDN'T predict the end of the world, their calandar just f*cking ends on December 12, 2012, what are we supposed to expect, for the calander to go on forever? We all have monthly calandars, does this make every January 1st potentially the end of the world just beause the calandar ends?

All of the 2012 theories have nothing to do with the Mayans or any ancient stuff, it's the work of the same assh*les who continue to push the Nostradomus hoax. The Mayans had wars to worry about, maybe they realised that a calandar that goes on FOREVER is just a waste of time.

So, what do you believe? I know what I'm gonna do on that day, I'm gonna laugh my ass off when nothing happens.

Except maybe Palin winning the election, and it will probably be thanks to all the people who believe this nonsense, now THAT's worth worrying about.

They probably ran out of room. Or thought the number looked pretty.

Of course. Big, nice looking numbers always mean that the world is going to end. Usually they have to end in a few zeroes though. The Mayans probably just though that 2000 was too cliched and obvious, so they choose 2012 for their ending date.

I ****ing hate how this kind of bull**** actually gets time on major news networks. Very few people would be worried by this kind of thing if it wasn't taken as seriously as it is. A few weeks ago, I saw some show on the history channel where they had "experts" explaining how the world was going to end in 2012, and I just know that some people out there were taking it seriously and actually truly believe that since those experts believe it to be true, it must be true.

I agree. It's all bullcrap to me. Their calender wasn't the same as ours anyway, so their 2012 may have already passed.

It's funny how an ancient civilization can predict the end of the world, but can't prevent themselves from disappearing.

close minded argument. They never predicted the end of the world. They knew something we didn't about these cycles because they were just as smart as us, just without the technology we have.

they don't sacrifice humans anymore.

for those of you that are curious, i went to Guatemala for about two weeks this summer and actually had a chance to interact with ethnic Mayans, people whose beliefs are still indentured in traditional Mayan religion.

the religion itself resembles pagan cultures of eastern Europe, with very similar belief structures directed towards the four corners of the earth. throughout the religion there is a strong correlation between the human spirit and the Earth from which that spirit is blessed, and many of their ceremonies worship this interminable connection.

while i was there i managed to ascend to a Mayan highplace, which is a small building with an altar where practitioners sacrifice animal and crop offerings. there was a pink cross which marked the highplace (resembling the Christian cross very closely), bearing reference to the four corners of the earth.

although almost the entire population of Guatemala is ethnic Mayan, only few of the oldest generation still harbor beliefs about the "end of days" which supposedly plagues the end of the Mayan calender. for the most part it's a developing nation which seeks to industrialize while maintaining the Mayan heritage from which the peoples have descended.

are you people really this god damned retarded?

Honestly, are the people in Saudi Arabia not as smart as us because they don't allow women to drive?

Yeah because people who think that just 3 years from now we'll all turn into peace loving hippie douchebags based on what a bunch of superstitious savages wrote down ages ago are the pinnacle of open mindedness.

Seriously, you believe in stupid sh*t, and when you say stupid sh*t, I have the right to tell you it's stupid sh*t. Don't give me this BS about being open minded, if you were open minded you wouldn't believe in this media hyped garbage.
