See, we have only one year to live, thankfully next year is a leap year so we get a day extra!

I am going to play games and die without acomplishing anything!

[Erix]

Sounds like a plan, I'm in!

[Thunder]

Newsflash: The world won't end next year.

I wish people would just stop with this "Omigod! teh w0rld is going to end in 2012!!!1111" bullsh*t.

The closer we get to that date, the more convinced I get that nothing's gonna happen.

But even in the far fetched notion that the world does end at that point, I wont perish, I shall carry on and live.

Does anyone here seriously believe that the world is going to end on december 21th 2012?

[Erix]

I'm more worried about what people will do on that day, than the world actually ending.

[Thunder]

^That is a valid point. Say for example, if you have defeatist type people who thinks that "nothing matters since the world is going to end anyway" they can run around and do whatever they want during their last days/hours alive since the world won't be around long enough for them to face the consequences of their actions. You could possibly see rapes, murders, looting, vandalism, robbing, vioelence etc skyrocketing when the final days/hours arrive.

The fun part is afterwards when it's clear that the world didn't come to an end and all these thugs do get to face the consequences of their actions

I think it might actually change the face of this planet just because of what we have made of that day all these years now.

Let's say 10% of the world population is that retarded and believes that ^@!$, I think it can lead to a lot of problems

[Dei]

I'm pretty sure nobody will act the part unless there's a visual representation of that danger. Like..lets say a meteor.

I doubt people will act like it's the end without any obvious signs.

Wait, isn't that how a good portion of earth's population already live?

[Thunder]

I guess. My point is that there could be a lot more of it in this scenario.

Exactly, but this so called end of the world thing would only make more people act like this.

[Commander Loony]

The world will likely end, or come close to ending, due to mass panic from all the fear mongering that's been built up over the past few years since the date "2012" became more and more ominous with society.

What will I do?

Same ol ^@!$.

Saw this today on wikihow: How To Overcome fear of 2012

It brings up a good point about the Mayan calender. The world ending on 2012 is really just a loose interpretation of it. Scholars disagree as to what it means and even when the "end" is supposed to happen. I also thought it was funny that it said:

Quote

If the Mayan civilization had prophesied an end of the world in 2012, its reliability has to be doubted given that they didn't manage to prophesy the demise of their own civilization.

A worthy point I believe.

Indeed.

The problem with these doomsday predictions is that when they are proven wrong people just find a new date on which the world willl supposedly end. It's a never ending cycle of doom and gloom.

After december 21th 2012 turns out to be false, the next ultimate doomsday date will be june 6th 2066 when the Antichrist will come, and after that it will be august 8th 2088 when Adolf Hitler will be resurrected and so on.

I'll drink something alcoholic. And take the day off.

Maybe play "Black Hole Sun" too...

What do you make out of this:



I am especially interested in hearing Cheese's thoughts about this.

[Piglet]

What I am making out of that is a movie that has the exact same sound in it (slightly morphed in this one but still same frequency), in each clip.

I don't buy it that this is real. I can let my dog bark and it isn't that weird for rabbits standing up. Not really that scary.

I think this is the same as crop circles. It's fake, and just a couple of people trying to let the masses believe ^@!$ is going down, when all they do is use the same sound over and over again. Some people are better equiped and morph the sounds a little to let others believe it's not the exact same sound.

Which you see in the first clip, he closes the window, sound becomes muffled.

given, in some of the clips it's a totally different sound, but none the less, man-made IMHO.

Best reason for fakeness: If in densely populated zones you hear that crap, you'd go outside. Your neighbours would go outside. The whole $@$!*(( town would go outside and record it, talk about it on the internet, and call the news about it.

None of that has ever happened in recordings that clearly are about towns.

It's just fake.
