Why should the world end? There don't seem to be any large objects coming our way, and the sun isn't going to disappear for quite a while. The Mayans probably just got tired of writing their calender or couldn't predict anything after 2012.

Here is what I thought...
"This is like Indiana Jones on steroids F# YEH!" but more like Indy without the relics and stuff ha ha ha, that is way too over the top Also, they say people in my country and others will be dying between 17 and 19 Nov this year due to a super storm on the North Sea -_-; http://www.geenstijl.nl/archives/ima...eonieuwsch.pdf |

As I've always stated "If the Mayan Calender predicted everything that had ever happened, why didn't it predict their end?"
Yet I'm not stupid enough to basically write anything off as pure gullible hysteria no matter how Improbable or insane it is. whatever happens happens but this solar megaflare hogwash is mindless drival. I love the fact that this all came from that really bad Nicholas Cage movie "knowing". |

Okay so this is a subject that is really discussed everywhere in my country. And everyone actually believes that we will all die when the date of 21 december 2012 will come. To be honest guys, I so doubt it. I mean, the end of the world has been predicted so many times and in so many forms that it seems it has become a sort of weird paranoia. Beside, I really don't think any human can actually tell us when we will all be destroyed. It has been said that in 06.06.2006 the Antichrist will come and he will make a huge mess everywhere and the world will blow and so on and so forth... I don't remember any devil's child coming XD And even if the world would really end on december 2012, what is the use in panic? We will all die one day, we can't change that. I for one, am expecting the unexpected every day. I live each second as if it was the last one and I don't regret it, I actually enjoy every minute of life. But anyway, that was my opinion and I thought to share it with you guys when I saw the title XD

Eh. I guess I've grown to be the artsy, cynically pretentious type over the years, but...
I'm going to make a prediction now, and unlike this stupid craze born from a Western misinterpretation of Mayan mythology, I'm going to be right: this movie will suck. Like, Transformers 2 suck. Not that I've ever seen that movie of course, but pretentious cynics like me tend to be right anyway. This one looks like it's going to be all brainless spectacle, no real tension, no sophistication -- a big waste of expensive special effects, like every other Hollywood disaster movies out there. |

Though you can still hope for the BGM to be good. And a flashy movie to take your easily-impressed gf to beside Disney comedies is not that unwelcoming for me. |

We may see the end of civilization as we know it because an alien feet will suddenly appear above our planet, zap us with a giant laser and blow our insignificant little planet to smithereens. Of course, the aliens will claim it's all to prevent the spread of another alien insectoid species that has already infested the planet.
Starcraft lore aside, I find any other "scientifically" or "historically" based claims to the destruction of the world to be far less probable - and I only think aliens are likely because that's something that we can't necessarily measure with as much definitive evidence as others. Any astrophysicists or science fiction writers want to argue differently? |
