Dude, you are a fucking idiot. If you honestly believe that we are going to pass through a universal equator, and in half an hour the polarity of the planet is going to shift causing a massive onslaught of natural disasters, you are straight up A FUCKING IDIOT.

There is something called coincidence, and the fact that multiple doomsday predictions just happen to land in the latter half of 2012 is likely one giant fucking coincidence. Nothing is going to happen in 2012 that didn't basically happen now in 2007, or y2k, or 1984, etc etc. It's just a bunch of paranoid garbage. The fact that the only person I've ever spoke to who honestly believes in the shit lives as a hermit in the backcountry, and believes he's a reincarnated hopi indian shaman, who studies an eclectic combination of hopi tradition/christianity/hindu/buddhism (ya, seriously, wtf?) doesn't exactly lend any credibility to the whole thing.

I'm a pretty open person, I'm open to a lot of possibilities. But to put much faith into the 2012 prophecy is pretty ridiculous. I'd go out on a limb and bet I've read more on this topic than you have. The last time one of these "polar shifts" was supposed to have taken place was around the time of the building of the sphinx and the great pyramids. Do we have any historical evidence that anything took place the was of any significant took place to alter the course of mankind at this time? Not particularly...

Believeing this shit is like believing you can actually make day to day judgements based upon your horoscope...

i think its true, it was posted on the internet

The end of the world schedule for the nearest future
2008 — an asteroid more than ½ mile in diameter will fall on the Earth.

2009 — Armageddon will destroy the civilization, in accordance to Peter Lorie’s research on the Nostradamus’ Centuries.

2010 — the oil stock will be over and the whole world will start fighting for the natural resources. This year also Earth is promised to turn off the Sun.

2011 — the end of the Maya Calendar Cycle. The 2005 YU55 asteroid will possibly crash into our planet.

2012 — the most expected end of the world. Here come a lot of events, such as: the 5th Sun period, the Solar System will turn one of its sides to the axis of the Galaxy, all the cosmic cycles will be broken, the poles will switch upside down. Good news everyone! Indigo kids stand a chance to survive, as well as 0,5% of the population.

2013 — Doomsday. The day of the beginning and the end of everything! Hyper spatial passage to the 4th dimension will bring death to the mortals and birth to the Gods.

2014 — according to the astrophysicist’s research the solar system will sink into the cloud of cosmic dust, which will destroy everything on the planet. Pretty boring, hah?

2015 — the end of some 9576–year cycle that will put an end to the civilization.

2016 — the researcher of the climatic conditions James Hansen affirms that in 2016 all the glaciers will melt and the major part of the dry land will drown.

2017 — the end of the world will come in accordance with the hierarchical theory of disasters.

2018 — the nuclear war will start, following Nostradamus.

2019 — just commonplace crush of the Earth with the 2002 NT7 asteroid.

2020 — following the prediction of John the Baptist, Isaac Newton counted that the end of the world will occur exactly in 2020.

The first part is actually a physical scientific fact - what it causes - nobody knows (or at least are not going to put their scientific reputations on the line to predict) - the fact that you dismiss the possibility of anything happening to the earth like this, shows your total ignorance since it has happened before - although I would say that you probably believe that the earth was created by some imaginary friend you believe in - so its kinda useless to point out facts to you

one day people just need to step up from their "regular" life into something they're lost thousands years ago - into real galaxy travel. to be free!

I dont give a shit.

as my 40th will have been the day before, I doubt I'll be in any state to care ;)

You disbelieve in god and laugh at christian faith, yet you buy into Hopi prophecy predicting the end of all times?

Of course there is proof that the planet's polarity can and does shift. The earth's axis is not absolutely fixed either. I don't dismiss the possibility that something could happen, but I do say that it's highly unlikely that anything out of the ordinary is going to occur. I highly doubt a polar shift will enlighten the people, or that we will ascend to a new level of consciousness. Nor do I believe that a sudden wave of natural disasters will blanket the earth in a matter of days.

Possible yes, but then again there's a possibility that god truly exists if you want talk possibilities. There's a possibility that astral projection is real, and that the hahahahahahahahaha really does live in the rockies. Elvis is alive, and the illuminati bloodlines really are shape shifting reptilians out to overthrow the world and establish a one world order. Hell, Hitler was a secret Rothschild offspring planted and groomed for power & world domination. Prime Minister Mackenzie King's dead dog DID give him sound political advice form beyond the grave. All these things are possible, but at the same time all these things are pretty god damned unlikely.

In a scale of likeliness, I'd put 2012 prophecy here....

gravity > 2012 prophecy > santa claus & the tooth fairy

All I see is a bunch of people buying into the latest and greatest doomsday hype. Who in the end, are going to be proven wrong again. Have fun waiting for the world to come to cosmic end (or new beginning?) It's probably not going to happen. I think it's a lot more likely to happen that man blows the fucking shit out of the planet and kills himself off, than for any strange interstellar event to send us into the new age of enlightenment.

Either way one side of the argument is not too far from being proven wrong.

why does sas-quatch wordfilter out? lmfao...

I fucking hope so... Could do with a rest...

I can't say that I am believing their prediction, i just hope it won't happen that soon..

it won't, trust me

Well we will be having the seconds overflowing in another couple of decades. Since they are hardware based, it's going to be a lot nastier to fix them up.:Oh crap

I think it's bullshit. The same it was back in Y2k

this event is possibly going to happen:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_reversal

but there's good news:

The worst that will happen upon the event that the North and South magnetic poles reverse is that compasses and navigational systems will need to be adjusted. Yes, there may be some issues cause by this... but the end of the world? NO.

Let's hope that the Fifth Sun is just a rebirth and not the end.

lol bump for this thread ..

Interesting.......

:1orglaugh

I know exactly when the world will come to an end. In about 1 billion years when the sun burns out. But by than man will already have gone extinct or moved away.

the only thing that will happen in the few months prior to 2012 will be sales in bunkers and preparedness supplies.

I don´t want to die before I can see the earth from space, and that`s not going to be possible before 2012, so fuck it! I won`t let finish the world on that year!

Many Mayan scholars perceive it to mean "the end of a cycle". The Mayans wrote their calendar up to this cycle, doesnt necessarily mean its the last one or armageddon. 12/21/2012 so happens to be the day of a planetary (or galactic) alignment.

An "alignment" usually means that most planets in our solar system are on one side of the sun. They line up in a straight line with astronomical rarity. Even so, nothing will happen, as the mass of the solar system is predominantly in the sun and tidal effects won't have much effect. Also, because of size and/or distance, the earth won't be affected to any noticeable degree.

Might be the end of human existence, but the World will still be here.

I don't think about it.
They said it before and nothing happened.
It's just a cult idea if you ask me.

The only reason people think the world will end in their lifetime is because their ego is so big, and they are so full of themselves they think that it has to happen in their lifetime, even though the earth has been around 4.5 billion years

Any reason to leave out the other part of the quote? You know the part of a restart (new cycle)?

Personally I do not believe in most predictions, well the exception of what they as a civilization were able to predict. (do not assume I think it is a date where shit will end either, that is just one of many theories)
However we are talking about people that had and used a calendar that is still even more accurate than the one we use today.
They had an uncanny ability to know or predict the cycles of comets, galaxies, the wobble of the planet, sun spots, and so forth. Not in vague interpret how you wish riddle jargon like every other seers. They gave dates, times, even down to minute predictions.
Again this would not overly thrill me, but what eats at me is the how in the fuck was it done. We barely now have the ability to see parts of the galaxy that they were predicting alignments with, wasnt to long ago that we began to learn of certain cycle events that happen about every 20k years or so. Then again just recently the real effects of to many or to few sun spots. Ok to make it simple again how?

Again though I do not think it is a doomsday.

the Mayan calendar only goes to 2012, but nobody has been able to explain why.... hey, there's always the possibility that they knew something we don't.

10.000 years back :thumbsup

The Mayan "Long Count" was a way to record a period of 395 solar years. It is going to reset in 2012, much like our calendar resets on Dec 31st.

Big freakin' whoopie!

BUT it is so cool and Mayan and everything you should probably buy some cool books on the subject that make bold claims about the world ending and/or the fourth plane of existence coming about. Help out those new age authors a little. Maybe they even have affiliate programs?

awwww so sweet

you all must read "Fingerprints of the Gods" by Graham Hancock... it is about all of this and is very educational... I have been reading it for about 8 years now, and everytime I sit down to read it, I find something new.

Many of the stories of early civilizations, the mythologies, etc... all have celestial origins and all basically use the same celestrial equations with different representational forms to tell the same idea of the stars progression in the sky (aqe of aquarius et al) and tell of a catastropic event (floods, earthquakes etc...) and how it affected their societies. most of these stories were passed down for generations before they were put into a form that would last "forever"

etc... all the stories are the same all over the world even though the civilizations were thought to have never been connected.

it's very well put in the book and I think you should read it.

The mayan calender IS simply amazing for these reasons. The fact that an ancient civilization had the ability to predict solar eclipses and so forth, down to the day and centuries into the future, is just absolutely mind blowing. Ancient astronomers understanding of the cosmos was pretty unreal. Interesting stuff indeed :thumbsup

As for anything spectacular taking place with the whole 2012 deal though, I still doubt highly. I think the most of it is just the fabrication of whacked out new age thinkers.

i will try to buy as much as i can with my visa .like the last time in 2000 ;))
just kidding

sounds good.. can't wait! :)
