Well it's 2 weeks till the supposed end of the world. Your thoughts?

It's my birthday. So yea, I'm cool.
Also, nobody believes in that shit.

The end of the world myths and, "theories," have always been nothing but either evangelical nutjobs claiming they've heard the voice of god or pseudoscience pushed for the sake of entertainment. I never buy into it, so why would this be any different?

What's there to discuss, other than people's gullibility and inability to perform simple research and reasoning?

The Mayan calender doesn't end on December 21, 2012. The cycle of that particular portion of the calender reaches it's "end" and starts all over again at the beginning of the cycle. There are larger cycles on the Mayan calender that don't "end" anywhere in the near future, yet people conveniently ignore that facet of the Mayan calender. They also ignore the fact that there are smaller cycles of the Mayan calender that have "ended" several times over, and the world hasn't ended with it.

And they ignore the fact that the Mayans didn't even see small pox coming across the ocean to ravage their population and kill them off. What makes them so capable of predicting the end of the world if they can't even predict the end of their civilization?


tl;dr: there is nothing to discuss :/

It's fake. Don't think of something like that. If anything the world could not end because we're just fine. If it was true we would already be dancing in meteors right now.

In case it does I'm gonna do everything I want to do these next two weeks. Not cause I believe it but because I want an excuse to do it.

Because that's totally going to stand in court.

"Your honor, I believed the world was going to end."

If you believe that you can probably be wanting people to kill themselves for the economy. Since an apocalypse is seriously insane, you can probably be sick. Extra extreme levels for this world cannot be possible.

Nothing illegal of course. I mean not too illegal. ;)

Just because the Maya calendar ends doesn't mean the world will end. At all. There's gotta be an end somewhere on the calendar, and that just happens to be now.
