Many probably won't simply suicide. They'll do other illegal things (looting, killing, etc.) because they feel they can get away with it. I'd recommend baracading your house.

I can't wait for the day after the world ends, it's gonna be so much fun, I'm gonna go all 'told ya !'

Seriously, why the HELL do you think the Mayan killed themselves ? Because they were reaching one such era, the end off a cycle, but they missed the part where they say another one begin just after (heh, idiots).

If you're talking about the ritual killings, those were ritual sacrifices, that happened pretty much the whole time. I don't know of any mass suicide however. Also, if I remember correctly, there was no cycle ending during the time of the Mayan civilization; they were in the midst of it (correct me if I'm wrong).

Guess you'll have to continue posting your link some more time... ^^

hmmmm.. let's check the 1 site i linked:

"The Mayans actually never made a single prediction related to an apocalypse, but it is claimed by 2012 proponents that the Maya could predict future events. The accuracy of this claim appears to hinge on the type of prediction that is claimed. One problem with proponents is that they generally fail to cite references, so that the claims of various predictions being made are difficult to impossible to reference and check."
(more here)

Guess you'll have to continue posting your link some more time... ^^

i think i gonna link it in every post i gonna make here.
you think that would do the trick?

here we go...

I'm sorry, but in what way exactly?
Maybe I was too vague.. I was speaking of the long count cycles, and since the mayan civilization is first dated at ca. 2000 BC (if you trust wiki) they couldn't possibly have experienced the end of a long count cycle like we will. Therefore I don't see any sense in illand's post.
