Random Topics - 2012 doomsday prediction
The 2012 doomsday prediction is that cataclysmic and apocalyptic events will occur in the year 2012. This idea is based primarily on what is claimed to be the end-date of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, which is presented as lasting 5,125 years and as terminating on December 21 or 23, 2012, along with interpretations of assorted legends, scriptures, numerological constructions and prophecies.

Travoltron, you'd be a lousy 2012 hustler because you have integrity and a conscience. -- Submitted By: (Soggy9000) on May 15, 2011, 12:13 pm - (0 votes)

The way I see it, if something happens that's as serious as some are worrying about, most or all of us are going to be dead. If nothing happens, life will go on and anyone that worried about it will be probably be embarrassed.
Either way, we're not going to have to worry about it anymore once that day come and goes.
In my opinion, if you want to have at least a small stockpile of non perishable food and water just in case something happens then that's fine. Heck, it's a good idea to always have one on hand just in case.
However, I think making bomb shelters and such is going way too far. -- Submitted By: (ExplodingConsole) on May 15, 2011, 11:49 am - (0 votes)

If the world doesn't come to an end in 2012, they'll say 2013 is when the world comes to an end. If the world doesn't come to an end in 2013, they'll say 2014 is when the world comes to an end. And so on. "The end is near" types have been around since forever, so this 2012 prediction is nothing new. Just the most over-hyped. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on May 15, 2011, 10:43 am - (0 votes)

If I had more business sense (i.e. was an opportunist), I'd find a way to make money off these kooks. And these people are selling all their possessions cheap, too. -- Submitted By: (Travoltron) on May 15, 2011, 1:23 am - (0 votes)

@MacFan95 - Yeah, I heard of that claim as well. There was a billboard in my hometown proclaiming it, even had the words "The Bible guarantees it" in the lower left. It made me facepalm thinking the one behind it (Harold Camping, the guy who runs Family Radio) honestly believes his prediction is correct when it contradicts a good amount of the Bible. Camping and his bunch are in for a rude awakening, of that I am certain. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on May 14, 2011, 8:54 am - (1 votes)

The way America's going these doomsday people are bound to be right sooner or later though.
They do need to just pick a date and stuck with it instead of changing it at random. -- Submitted By: (DolFan316) on January 28, 2011, 5:24 pm - (0 votes)

Now we have a theory that Judgment Day is May 21st of this year, and that the world will end on October 21. It's just sickening how much doomsday crap people come up with, and then it winds up false. -- Submitted By: (MacFan95) on January 27, 2011, 2:36 pm - (2 votes)

Indeed, johnnydough. I laughed in the face of Y2K, and I chortled at those freaking out over June 6, 2006 (6/6/06). -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on November 18, 2010, 1:49 pm - (0 votes)

The movie will be nothing but the butt of a huge joke by the end of it all. Remember the Y2K scare, now all the stuff on TV about it is nothing but pitiful. This was asking for ridicule since its inception. -- Submitted By: (johnnydough) on June 4, 2010, 12:37 am - (0 votes)

Oh brother, here we go again - another "world will end" load of nonsense which will undoubtedly NOT happen. I'll be one of those laughing at those stupid enough to believe that nonsense when nothing happens yet again. -- Submitted By: (BigAl) on June 3, 2010, 9:20 am - (0 votes)

PYLrulz, I think this might be the next "doomsday fad" you were talking about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem -- Submitted By: (ScottyB) on March 20, 2010, 10:16 am - (0 votes)

Probably just like Y2K. They will come up with some bullcrap on "oh, this or that happened", but it will be nothing more than uneasy silence from the nuts, and everyone moves on with their lives, until the next doomsday fad comes along. -- Submitted By: (PYLrulz) on March 19, 2010, 4:26 am - (0 votes)
