Hmmm....here's what I think, in brief.
*clears throat*
meh.
Bearing in mind, this is not a stab at you, but these kind of theories in general. Also, this is just my personal opinion on the matter. If something significant happens in 2012 to convince me that the chart held any worth, I will send you a PM.

Actually, these kinds of threads make me wary. It's the kind of thing that could lead to a religious debate and such debates are not permitted on these boards.

I think people just want to believe in such theories because it would be boring to think that nothing special is ever going to happen in the span of our lives or the earth's near future. It holds a kind of cool factor to think that the earth's peace/stability/lifeforces will just go kaboom all of a sudden.
These theories are usually an interesting/humorous read to me, but I believe it's just a case of cherry picking past proofs and evidences to make extravagant predictions. Kind of like the people finding links in banknotes printed decades ago and the WTC.
Personally, I wouldn't give too much credit to things associated with ancient civilizations that practiced human sacrifice to their gods, maybe they got a few more things wrong? Why would an apocalypse suddenly occur at the end of a calendar that they devised after realizing their old calendar didn't cut it in the long run?
Oh actually... isn't Palin supposed to be running for president in 2012?

I am not saying an apocalypse will come with any sense and this is nothing about religions. I think the world is going on a dark path thanks to humankind. A world war is made by humans, anyone else.

I too believe that these ideas along with fate, etc. are just another way humans have to comfort themselves that there is something more than just the randomness of life.

On every judgement day everyone must wait in hushed silence for the clock to it midnight, and when it does and nothing happens run outside and laugh in the face of the doomsdayers with the sign around their necks.
Thats what I'm going to do!

There are so many judgement day theories how do you know if any of them are real?
I say the whole thing about the world ending on 2012 is a bunch of junk and it won't happen but the only good thing is that it makes people realise that the world could end at any time and you start living life like it's meant to be.

First i need to apologize for my english. I try to improve it everyday.
You will wanna kill me. I dont want the end of the world but i think we (as humankind) should meditate about what we are doing and where we are going. We should try to help countries in difficulties, stop with pollution, stop with finding excuses to justify wars, stop thinking that money and luxury is the best life has to offer, research more, spend more time with children (endless list) etc etc. Things that we already know. I shouldnt had put tha maya thing on the chart becose it become something esoteric. Do you know Macchiavelli? He said that history is made of ups and downs. Usually at the bottom of the down part there is a war. Put it togheter with the today ability of autodestrucion and you have the result. Now putting togheter every problem we have in the world i begin to think that we are approching the bottom of the down part. In the short time i think something will change. If we are rly different from beasts we will improve our life but if we are simply intelligent beasts something bad could happen. I am trying to explain my thoughts. Im not a dark messiah, i am simply analyzing the past history and today humankind behavior. In the end i will post something from WikiPedia about recession.
Causes of recessions
* Currency crises
* Inflation
* National debt
* Speculation and economic bubbles
* War
* Excessive interest rates
* Underconsumption
* Overproduction
Effects of recessions
* Bankruptcies
* Banks lending less money
* Deflation (or disinflation)
* Foreclosures
* Reduced sales
* Stock market crash
* Unemployment
Now, War is written to be in the causes of recession but the last time war begun 10 years later the recession so i think is more appropriate to write a thing like this.

the reason why we all aware that future aint that bright so every expectation were counted but yeah mayan create the calender either good reason that those guys wanna warned us just playin around im not sure
but what i know we still progressing the technology too advanced is devastation thats why the goverment nowadays are maintaning order on the progress like i said too advanced we ended up in ugly war too moderate technology riot can happend so yeah
its like i dont know im confused on this world again , what do you people want?
so how we can prevent destruction on the future
1. keep the earth clean from polution trash on the drain , river everything if we could accomplished cleaning it , but theres no way righ people still throwing up trash on the road and evantually cause polution.
2. stop burning trash instead , we can bury it on the ground thats how we keep the earth clean
3. stop war , thats all we can agree war evantually create human extinctions thats how earth is gonna end
if our country has global crisis financial issue we gotta go through it cuz the country needs money too to pay all our taxes , pay roll , the place we worked in
why we need taxes the usage of taxes is to pay the profit for the workers that contribute the country not just talking about america but other countries are same too we all pay taxes
the reason why we are in the global financial issue , is because the sports , sports demand billions of money just to trade players for winning the game evantually cause a small problem.
thats not related on 2012 whatsup with this judgement day
let me tell you what is the real horror of judgement day
1. the human extinction all the nation are reverting the pass on modern warfare , nuclear misile etc's

after all, most of you said the world sucks if it's going to end, but I have something to say:
Remember if the world didn't suck, we would all fall off.

"what happens? The end of the world?"
"Oh, no. Nothing like that. Probably the end of civilisation"
it is a good end of the world story, your is just rubbish
