Just a question.... kairouwatoshimi December 5 2009, 15:50:42 UTC
It was just a harmless question. It didn't ask if you believed if it was going to happen... just if it did, what would you do.

if you read some of the other responses, you will begin to see that a fair number of people find the concept plausible.

that bothers me.

i also have a lot of personal contact with people who see doom and gloom in every political, social, and environmental situation.

it wears me out at times.

There won't even be an alignment on the winter solstice of 2012. Nor does the Maya calender end then, it's just the end of a multi-thousand year cycle, of which there are more.

I think I'll rent the DVD and skip through all the parts where we're meant to care that people are falling into cracks in the ground and drowning.

the areas where we are supposed to care about people falling into crevices were the worst parts of the movie.

i think you should see this on the big screen. it really is quite a ride.

did you catch the criticism im getting because of my comment?

Lol just had a gander now that you mentioned it. I see plenty of uneducated people having an oh so *not* good time with this whole "scare."

"if" is a really easy word to understand.

however there are too many people out there who never seem to do so. i get fearmongers and doomsayers in my shop all the time.

everytime someone publishes something like this, they just increase the paranoia. the act of bringing the item into consciousness makes it seem more possible. read some of the other comments of people who aren't making fun of this like you are or who aren't rejecting it out of hand like myself and some of my other friends. if they aren't believers, at least they are entertaining the notion that the premise is plausible.

Inductive fallacy.

Just because the world didn't end last time, it doesn't follow that the world won't end this time. We'll see who's laughing when New York is under water and Hawaii is under molten lava.

- Adolf Hitler

I've been a "doomsayer" in my life, I guess because I can see the simple posibility of it. However, should the world end or not is really nothing to worry oneself over. I will make plans for December 22, 2012, even the end of the world will not stop me from living my life. (heh.)

In a nutshell, what will happen will happen - what won't won't. No use in adding to our own worrying by contemplating the death/destruction of the world. ^^
