2012 - Will The World End

[Mattemma]

Whether it happens or not my dd asked for the day off from school.I am hoping we will be using an online public school by then so there will be no issue with staying home anyway on that Friday,lol!

I do think eventually one day the human race will do things they will not be able to recover from.

I don't think so. As a Christian it doesn't make sense.

I don't know about the end of the world and all....but the mayan calanders have predicted eclipses and planetary alignment over the past 5,000 years with stunning accuracy. - also the year 2012 is thought to be the peak/ climax by astrologists of the sun's solar flares. Just like the solar tsunami that lit up the north skies last night - its residuals off solar flares that are hitting our atmosphere and creating the light show if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think it will be the end of the world - but if the solar flares get back in 2012 it could very well be the start of the end - as in death of satelittes and communications. Where the devil would we be if that happened? Our society is ran off phones and internet - I mean Wal-mart is lost when their program/hard drive for the cash registers shuts down or malfunctions at the store here!

Also there are tons of interpretations of the mayan calander and their meanings for 2012. Some think it means enlightenment/spirtual change of society. One thing though Mayans put alot of stock in birth, death, and renewel and renewing the cycle.

I haven't prepared for 2012, though we do always keep a large emergency duffle bag freshly stocked and atleast 10 gallons of fresh water (2 5 gal bottles) in our pantry, plus 2 propane tanks and tank top heaters - and just freshen up batteries, food, and water every so often but thats for black outs in T-storms, snow storms, and hurricanes.

I'm like this - if it happens it happens, but I don't think theres going to be any one big event to 'mandate the end' on 12/21/12. However if I'm wrong, well i won't be around to say I was wrong 12/22/12 will I? lol

This is my answer, yep, I dont worry about it and sometimes the media "hype" it up like if it is gloom and doom! Like hubby said once, we will deal with it when the time comes and I am not going to sit there and worry about it. I am certain we will have another repeat of the previous Y2 thingy.

It is the end of the Mayan calender, not the end of the world. I am not getting into the religious stuff but it is vague in what will happen in that day, nor does it say in the Bible, the world will end on 12/22/2012. I just take it one day at a time. Solar flares are the natural episodes of the Sun and it has been ongoing for years. Would the sun burn itself out in that time? I would doubt it.

I am with you Ewesheep.... back in the day everyone was tearing up their backyards putting in bomb shelters... then Y2 thingy... If it happens it happens... just try and be prepared as possible for anything.... storms, death... etc.... If you worry so much about this and that.. you'll wind up not having to worry about anything...

While it never hurts to be prepared, I say it's a bunch of excrement. If I'm wrong, well...

If it happens I figure it will be one unforgettable birthday party for me (My birthday is on the 21st of december lol).

I tend to worry more about a foreign power invading and making our lives suck than the world ending. I imagine the end of the world will be shorter and less painful than being a slave or something.
