The numbers 2012 is not unfamiliar to us...It's already December of this year and it's the so called "end of the world" next year according the the Mayans and Nostradamus...

Who believes it's going to be the end of the world and if it really is...what will all of you do?

the so called "end of the world" next year according the the Mayans


Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then -- just as your calendar begins again on January 1 -- another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.


I'm not buying it.

Sorry. I'm not buying the end of the world theory.*

Why are all these threads popping up everywhere? The end of the world is supposedly going to be on 12/21/12. In case no one's noticed, that would be next year. And has anyone thought about the fact that maybe the Mayans just got tired of making calendars and just decided to stop at that date?
I doubt the world is going to end any time soon. The only way it could end so quickly without pretense would be if aliens came from some faraway galaxy wielding weapons beyond our comprehension and zapped the planet into nonexistance.
^^This is honestly more likely than whatever people think is going to happen on 12/21/12.

that pic made me laugh. thats what i have been saying
guy: the mayans say the world will end in 2012
me: no no, they just ran out of rocks.

aparently, it marks the date when they make another temple or pyramid or whatever u wana call it. its supossed to worship the gods or something similar.

but i belive the bible, to which i re word this
"we will not the when the end is upon us."

Given the recent spate of natural disasters and climate change, I can't blame them for jumping onto a myth to explain it.

Another one, albeit less funny:

Why is everyone saying that 2012 is fake. We aren't even talking about 2012, we are talking about End of the world, which will happen, someday.

Maybe it's because the OP is asking about the 2012 End of the World Prediction and not whether the world will eventually end?

Nah, good ol' Terra is going to last at least a few more millenniums, if not more.
Either humans are going to mess up everything, or Sol will get too old and go supernovae on us. I have a feeling the first option is going to happen, but alas, that's yet to be discovered

I don't see why or how the world is going to magically end on that date. I've seen the movie and the world explodes lava for no reason.

I think the world will eventually end when our sun burns up and becomes a red giant destroying the earth

Why would the Mayans or Nostradamus be right about the end of the world? How would they know? Also, the Mayans never actually predicted the end of the world, that's just a misconception.
