because nothing we do can destroy this blue ball we call earth. Thats a fact. Even if we use all nuclear, chemical and biological weapons at once. A few million years and the planet will move on :px'il said:

Fair enough. People are fucked up, man. That's why I don't have Facebook/MySpace/whatever, and I do my best to rarely read/watch/see/hear the major news media. Just makes me depressed and angry.SnapSlav said:

Some dumbass radio host here apparently heard abut the phenomenon of the short days in places like London, and tought that it would happen WROLDWIDE and started telling people that on the 21 the night would come at 3 pm, and that they shouldn't eat meat that day.

I'm anxious to see the next bogus prophecy that predicts the end of the world, so I can laugh at the morons who believe it.
The best part is, if they're finally ever right, we won't be around to hear them gloat about it.

Methinks they're all mysterious visitors from the future, come back to the past to prevent the Apocalypse the DAY before it's scheduled to happen (as opposed to, oh I dunno, the root CAUSE, or something a little more convenient and easier to fix, instead of the major incident that's right about to happen). It's JUST like Mashima showed us in this week's chapter of Fairy Tail!!!Sduibek said:

I've heard this "end of the world" stuff" too many times. In 1982 all the planets lined up on the same side of the sun. A lot of crackpots predicted civilization ending earthquakes and tides. Given that such an alignment happens about every 179 years, and that the earth survived every other time it occured, what do you think happened? The same that happened on 12-21-12. Zip.
Actually, the Mayans never said the world would end. It was just a change in the calender to them. "End of the world" scenarios sell books, magazines, TV airtime, and videos. Oh, it sells cool computer games too.
So, the world didn't end this time either and I have to go back to work on Dec. 26th. Whee.

awesome ,thankyou
I'm really proud that I've become an End of the World Veteran. I'm so good, I survived more than a dozen endings so far.
If it keeps going like this, you know who will be the bestest wasteland warrior.

While the mayans were accurate about that shit, I highly doubt the world is going to end.

Precisely. The craze was a modern myth, not an ancient prediction. And for millenia societies have been predicting doomsday over and over, and ending up wrong each and every single time. The closest that humanity's EVER come to its own end was during the Dark Ages as a result of the Black Plague, and NO ONE had a stirring prediction foreseeing that shit!Richwizard said:
But there was the end of days and the coming of Christ in 1000 AD. Didn't happen.
There was the coming Ice Age scare in the 70s predicted to happen in the 90s. Didn't happen.
There was the scare of Mad Cow or Killer Bees killing everyone. Didn't happen.
There was Y2K which would coincidentally overlap with the second (second) coming of Christ in 2000 AD. STILL didn't happen.
There was Global Warming which would kill us all, curiously predicted by the SAME scientists who brought us the Ice Age scare... STILL. DIDN'T. HAPPEN.
Now we've gone through 3 separate apocalypse scares in 2012, which never happened.
The reason I can't just take this all as a joke, and laugh about all the idiots being idiots, is because the stupid seem to outnumber the sane, or at the very least they have more influence, and we have to suffer FOR them. We've got to pay more for gas and electricity and generally raise the cost of living across the board because of Climate Change (the latest name for Global Warming, which I suspect is in preparation for calling it an oncoming Ice Age, again, in 10-20 years) policies. Sane, reasoning, normal people get murdered by their absurd, stupid, fanatical family because of the doomsday scares. Okay, those of us with a clue get a tiny chuckle for being able to time and time again utter "told ya so", but at the cost of pointless deaths, increasing poverty, and other unnecessary hindrances? It's just not worth it.
I'd rather everyone came to their senses, everyone had better lives, and no one had cheeky shit to chuckle about.
Unfortunately, for this you probably need a heaven equivalent, not reality. Life can really suck, the point is to get out or get above it.SnapSlav said:
If this shit really bothers you just throw the television out the window. I honestly had no idea about this latest end of the world stunt (not to mention how big a deal it was) until I saw this thread. Same with the shooting at that school.
Every time something like this is in the news and I'm out of the loop and hear about it weeks later it's almost a sigh of relief, like I dodged a bullet or something.
