2012 predictions ring true

Sagarin,

That comment wasn't meant to belittle you or your history (which is remarkably like mine, funny how we have very different perspectives on things though).

My point was, are any of those countries really going to be MORE STABLE than the US?

Honestly, what "prediction" are you speaking of? I read Classical Maya glyphs, and there is no such prediction. All that will happen in 2012 is that we will move into the 13th ba'ktun (a measurement of time = many many years), which for the Maya would be a day of celebration. It's very much the same idea as a new year for us - nothing more.

HAHAHA! Are you serious?

I have heard of the movie, but the movie is FICTION. Have you heard of fiction? I'm not in the dark - I'm actually EDUCATED and know what I'm talking about. You should do research before you start believing in fiction. If you learn to read Maya glyphs, you can easily see that in 2012 there is no prediction of any kind of catastrophe... just the end of Ba'ktun 12 and the start of Ba'ktun 13.

POD.

The start of Ba'ktun 13?

13 is an unlucky number. Case closed.

Not for the classical period Maya. They celebrated the numbers 13 and 20. 13 was FAR from an unlucky number to them.

We are not classic period Maya. They are long gone.

Then why do people care about their calendar at all? The discussion was over their calendar. I was merely explaining why 2012 would be a time of celebration, not something they would prophesy as a disaster.

The calendar on my wall right now ends on December 31st. Does this mean thats when the world ends?

That's exactly the point I'm trying to make: that December 2012 is just like "turning a calendar page" to the Maya. That's it.

But I'm out for now... just got in from a 9 hour drive and I need some sleep.

Just like Y2k, 2012 is being used in a time of potential economic downturn to increase consumer sales numbers.

That said, 2012 worldwide doom philosophy is mostly B/S.

Climate Change, Peak Oil, Overpopulation, and a new Global Pandemic however are not.

The earth's crust will not displace. There is no 'Planet X'. There is no Alien space ship. The movie was a joke.

The oil is running out, and the sun's solar output could fall similar to a maunder minimum. With 7 Billion people on this planet, 2-3 Billion would starve. Swine Flu has yet to hit in full force.

America imports half its Oil needs...so what happens to America when no one sells it oil?

You dumbshits better start running...lol

Maybe we'll have more sub 13 guys...lol

11 is more important to the Maya.

Sun cycle is 11 years.

guess what else is 11?

I’ve seen worries that when this lot get going and sub-atomic particles bash into each other at virtually the speed of light - the resulting chain reaction may cause all atoms to mutate, blowing the planet to smithereens.

Oh good. I was wondering when they'd get that back up and running. Now I have a back-up disaster to my economic collapse theory - the super collider is a much better doomsday scenario.

Folks, nobody wants to discuss the possibility of hundreds of thousands of lawsuits against the US government by Katrina victims? I guess I'm overestimating the need of the Katrina victims and the greed of their soon-to-be lawyers .

Oh yeah. This is good.

Hey man,

Truthfully, I really thought someone hijacked your name. I didn't see the Palin comment that you were responding to, so you starting off on Palin, and then moving onto the 2012 Olympics and the queen and Brazil and Panama and.... whoa, it just all seemed a little odd to me, a little over the top. And it seems that is the direction you've been moving lately. Anyway, I guess your post was at least certainly addressing the topic at hand, which I had thought it wasn't.

( i thought someone was cutting and pasting some past comments of yours from different threads)

But I do think you need to not overcomplicate things. If you keep going down the path you are on, at a certain point, your posts will become indecipherable.

(but did you see how Peeps chimed in right on cue?? See, you WERE channeling his spirit a bit)
