There's quite a bit of controversy surrounding these dates.

The Mayans, A Chinese Confucianist, and the Torah Code all state that the end of the Earth happens on this very day. And all this was said when they didn't have a clue about each other.

I personally have known about this controversy for quite some time, a few years even. But when I heard about it everyone thought it was a hoax, now there are all these people that are freaking out about it.

So what do YOU think is going to happen?

Me? I have my money (hope?) on a Zombie Apocalypse, it's been overdue for quite sometime.
 
None of the above.

The world will end when 4 giant cannons are fired straight up. :P
 
nice idea booster, but i seriously doubt that ne of the top 3 choices will happen. it is interestin wishful thinkin.
 
I'll be hungover from my Birthday the day before, can't think of anything else happening.
 
people have been incorrect about the end of the world each and every time... as far as I'm concerned, they're all batting .000

if the world ends, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do. I'm just going to enjoy my time here.

Frankly, I'm not concerned. If we all die, we all die. Big deal.

well that was depressing but anyways I believe in the meator crash sometime in April 2033
 
i've heard some wierdness about a comet heading in the general direction of Earth which (apparently) could destroy all humans, that is if it's on target and hasnt got owned by other spacy stuff and the wierdness is that if it does hit us, it's (once again apparently) going the hit us on the same day that those old times ppls said we would die, im just gonna wait, i guess we shouldn't worry about dieing because if we do well have been wasting our time because we dont have to worry about dieing anymore. %-6 i think

EDIT: in all my rambling i forgot to mention that i dont believe it totally, it justs seems a wee bit more on the point than other theories, but im not gonna hide under my desk just because of this
 
I believe in God. :) I'm not worried, but we aren't supposed to know when this will happen, and how many times have these people been right?
 
To fear the end of the world is to fear death.

And my only fear of dying is that the Christians were right.

Because lord knows I'm not going to heaven.
 
Scientists actually know that life on earth will end someday because of something to do with the orbit of earth getting closer to the sun and the sun will explode. But...this isnt for like a million years or something.

On the other hand, I doubt anything will actually happen, imo, its like y2k scare.
 
Sweet! A depressing smorgasbord of pessimism! Let the games begin!!

Yep, the sun will one day run out of hydrogen and helium, then it will expand into a red giant. It'll start to cool and its outer layers will start to fall off into space. It'll slowly fall apart and then become a nebula! Damn, I wish I could be alive to see that happen. Also, I wasn't aware that the earth's orbit was decaying.

Aaaanyway, who cares? If life ends, it's not like I'm going to live to regret anything, right? You can bet that if life as we know it is going to end, there will be some AWESOME parties beforehand. I'm hoping for a meteor crash. I want to watch!

No, I don't think it will happen. I know that human life will eventually cease to exist, but I'm going to put my money on some kind of disease, more specifically a super STD. I think we're too smart for something like the plague to get us again, but if we can't have sex, we can't reproduce and it'll end anyway. Oh well, carpe diem till then, right?

Isn't that the day Duke Nukem Takes Forever is going to come out?
[/quote1206761026]

If DKF comes out before the apocalypse, I will be pleasantly surprised.

And @ Glitch.
I didn't mean for this thread to be all depressy, I just wanted to know what people thought of it.

Maybe the zombie apocalypse is closer than you think.

Oh, and don't think that I'm a Nihilist. What I mean by this is that I don't live my life anticipating my death. I live my life to enjoy my life, as I'm sure it was intended. If you spend your life preparing for death, then at the end, all you have is death.

Live for today, because there's nothing you can do about comets, decaying orbits, renegade asteroids, rabid zombies, or anything else like that.
 
The way I see it is that you have lived your live as well as you can, never done wrong to others, lent a helping hand when possible then you have nothing to worry about. If you can think back on what you have done and have no regrets then you should be able to face the inevitable end with courage. Something like that it doesn't read as well as it sonds in my head.

Oh and btw December 21, 2012 is just going to be another day.

I've heard this before.

Nothing is going to happen.

I remember when there was some date (don't recall more except that it was in the 80's) and California was supposed to "fall off the edge of the earth," probably by being violently destroyed by The Big One. We had a party to celebrate (over here in New Mexico, which would have a different climate and beach-front property), but alas, no sign of Arizona Bay.
 
Sigh... this thread isn't taking the path I was hoping it would. I didn't mean for this thread to be a religious debate over what happens or where you go after you die. I wanted to know what you thought of the controversy surrounding this date.

Can a mod lock this please?
