2012 is just next year. Really the world is going to end? - General

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;27124773]Nope, just the start of the 14th cycle, no real different from us and the end of a century or milennia or even decade, except their cycle (instead of say a decade) is around 395 years, at which point the mayan calendar will be 5520 years old. There's nothing mystical or hidden about it, it's just liek us going from december 1999 to january 2000. It's also the way it is because they simply had a different way of counting than we do.[/QUOTE] No it's not the start of a 14th cycle, but I can see why you would think that. The calendar goes from 13.0.0.0.0 to 0.0.0.0.0, and starts over again from there. A process which takes about 5125 years. Apart from that you're quite right though.

The Y2K is going to get you!!! [editline]2nd January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Arc Nova;27149443]no more 2012 threads please [editline]2nd January 2011[/editline] you'd be surprised what thousands upon thousands of slaves can do in a long period of time[/QUOTE] actually, slaves werent used in the building of the pyramids

I was just watching 2012 on tv when I saw this thread :tinfoil:

if the world ends in 2012 then im a girl

[QUOTE=Heatvision...;27149397]Why do you think that? Aliens were definitely here in the past, just look at the pyramids. You have to be absurd to think that humans built that alone. Those things are huge and cut with such precision.[/QUOTE] You dont give humans enough credit

especially when they go through the effort of enslaving other humans for strenous labor

Why on earth would you believe that crap.

its closer to 2 years then 1 [editline]3rd January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Treybuchet;27157202]actually, slaves werent used in the building of the pyramids[/QUOTE] go on. i don't believe you but go on.

[QUOTE=deaththrea10;27123218]Iv just finished watching Water world the movie. Then i was thinking shit 2012 is around the corner. I honestly don't think world is going to end. Who ever thinks that are complete nut heads and should eat camel dick.. No proof it will ever happen. Just Theories that is all. Tell us your thoughts. For all you people saying its a dumb thread. Well think about it, of course this is not going to happen. but think when December 2012 comes around, Serious shit will happen. All the dumb fucks will go around mass murdering and raping, thinking the world will end. Keep that in mind. So if i were you next year. Just in case i would fucking buy a Baseball bat with hammered in nails. Shit will go down. Because of all the dumb fucks believing in this shit. Trust me, Mass WORLD chaos will happen. But the WORLD not going to end....[/QUOTE] Did you see tons of people raping and killing during Y2K? and that made more sense

Reminds me of elementary school. "We're all gonna die in 2000 just because it's 2000 durrrr."

[QUOTE=deaththrea10;27123218]Just Theories that is all. [/QUOTE] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory[/url] Also, bet ALL your money the world will not end. [editline]3rd January 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=xZippy;27166733]Reminds me of elementary school. "We're all gonna die in 2000 just because it's 2000 durrrr."[/QUOTE] That's actually a legitimate thing to be scared of though. The computers holding insurance, social security, important stuff, etc may have gone haywire because they were not programmed to know the date 2000. Y2K

Social fallout on earth Smart people move to mars' moon, glorious master race is formed.

What a stupid fucking thread, why the fuck is this labled as politics? What a load of shit.

Well we saw where Baba Vengas prediction got us...I don't trust her, and I especially don't trust the Mayans.

yeah the world will end in 2012 were all fucked sorry guys

OP, is this you? [img]http://bankruptbookie.com/wp-content/blogpic/2010/05/Tin-Foil-Hat-300x225.jpg[/img]

Im planning a big party for Dec 22nd 2012 and everyone is invited BYOB.

[QUOTE=RayvenQ;27124207]People often say its because the Mayan Calendar ends on dec 21st 2012, when, infact, it doesn't it just begins anew.[/QUOTE] It already repeated itself several times (3 times if i'm correct). Global warming probebly BS aswell since we haven't had this much snow since 1983. (Rate clocks if late, didn't bother to read all the pages).

[quote=jesser92;27167898]im planning a big party for dec 22nd 2012 and everyone is invited byob.[/quote] yes

We're just as fucked as OP's English skills.

If Valve releases Episode 3 next year, it will, trust me on this one. :v:

The world can end at any second. Why are you so afraid of 2012?

[QUOTE=Arc Nova;27163465] go on. i don't believe you but go on.[/QUOTE] People built them voluntary, because they saw the Pharaoh as a god, and to serve him as their duty. Just wanted to say that, even though I wasn't asked. :smug:

Y2K[/QUOTE] The [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem]2038 problem[/url] is not only far worse, it's also very legitimate and proven.

I agree that the odd batch of idiots will indeed go on a rampage of raping and pillaging, but they will be relatively easy to quell generally Although, as is the case with us humans, no matter how certain you are that nothing will happen, a small niggling doubt will always be present.

The Mayan calender didn't end because it's the end of the world, they just couldn't be arsed making any more dates
