Well we were talking in class and my teacher stated her opinion on the whole end of the world 2012 thing. And it went something like this.
"It is just the end of their calendar"...."When it starts over again"..."it would be like if later down the road our culture was to die out for some reason"..."and somebody was to find one of our pre-made calendars with the year 2019 on it"

I know there's something wrong here but I can't put my finger on it. Anybody care to point out the flaws in this theory?

That's just what the government pays her to say. *tinfoil hat*

I think he/she was meaning like..Just because a calendar ends, doesn't mean the world ends.

It's December 31st! AAAAHHHH WE'RE GOING TO DIE!!! *Jan 1st* Oh.... it starts over..

If somebody found a calendar of ours ending in a year later, doesn't mean that your civilization will die *SRS FAIC* in that year.

She's saying that when the Mayans made their calender, they said "Oh, I'd say year 2012 is a good year to stop. We'll finish it later."

well that has nothing to do with the world ending. but yeah the Mayans were smart, that dosn't mean that when they got too lazy to keep their calendar going that that is when the world will end

more than likely there'll just be a lot of anarchy from the people who do believe.

The Mayans were HUGELY into the stars, universe, etc. And somehow or another they figured that December 21st, 2012, would be when the planet Earth would reach the beginning of where it started in the Milky Way. Its like running around a track. Running 1 lap isnt the end, just a completion.

lmao my rother already bought 3, yes 3, guns in anticipation of 2012, a 22 cal sniper, pistol, and a hunting shotgun >.> . i think he's really stupid..

but i've pondered over that idea before, and i find it plausible. but why would it stop on dec. 21 2012 and not the end of the year? or, countering that point, they just put the last signifigant event that year....

The world can't end in 2012 because that's not over 9000.

i'm pretty sure the reason they stopped making calendars at 2012 cause someone was like ok this is WAY to many calenders don't you think we should stop now and enjoy something other than calendars
