Anybody else besides me have family members that have bought into the fear of the world ending in 2012? It's to the point that I just don't want to even know them anymore :). Also, anybody think this will be worse than Y2K paranoia? Maybe it's time to start a generator and dried foods company.

Once Obama is revealed as the Antichrist, he'll do away with money and dole everything out including food, but only to his supporters. That'll happen in 2011, I believe, and then Armageddon will take place in 2012.

I got bored one day not long ago and found something on YouTube that sent me down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. And there are some doozies out there. And the last year has produced a lot. Everything from Revelation stype apocalypses, to Planet X and an Earth pole shift, to passing through the grvaitational line of the center of the galaxy causing a pole shift. There's even a guy claiming that Oprah is the anti-Christ and Obama is the beast. The theories are WAAAYYYY out there. But the 2012 myth has some long standing followings. Mayans, I Ching, Edgar Cayce... However, the Mayans didn't predict that 2012 was the end of the world, they predicted that it would be the start of a new era where the world would be fundamentally changed. I think it's all hokum, but I'm still interested to see what happens in the next few years. Still, you kinda have to keep your tin foil beanie on when reading Revelations these days.

The end of the world is when one of those dumb a*ses hit me on the interstate when I'm driving the Corola. I need the drive the 87 Ford pickemup truck more, plus it has a big honk'n trash bin in the back.

There are some people I'm reading about whom think May 21, 2011 is the last day, not sure I understand their rationale.

I don't put much stock in it, but I do use it to great comedic effect.

The world ending, huh? Should make for a nice change in scenery.

I thought it ended in 2000 or did I miss the email?

I hit the "three score and ten" around the end of 2012 (and my bus pass expires), so for me 2012 could be apposite. :) However, the good book does promise me that if I continue to four score, it will be labour and sorrow. Which must mean that the conservatives will lose the next election! That's the sort of prophesy I can believe in - I'm off to BetFred!

Hey, if the world is going out in 2012, then the heck with bailouts, let's start the frakking party!

The way it was told to me was: The generation we are living in will not pass away before 'The End'. 'This generation' started at the end of the Gentile times which was figured at 1914. So, 'The End' will arrive between now and 2014. :)

I bet you'd be able to convince them very quickly that they don't actually buy any of it at all. Just write up a little something that says they irrevocably agree to transfer all of their worldly possessions/wealth/etc... to you on January 1st, 2013 in exchange for $1000 today. They won't sign it, because they don't actually buy it either :)

Actually, I'm pretty sure the world will end in about 3 to 3.5 billion years from now during the suns red dwarf phase when it expands far enough to swallow us up. I would suspect that humans will have gone extinct or evolved into something completely different around 3.49 billion years before that happens though.

Wow - really ? Great - that will be awaiting me when I get home. Is this a Mayan calendar type thing ?
