butttttttt

did they really say "this is the day the world will end" or did they just not make another calender and ppl are making a huge deal out of it?

and

do you believe it? i was EXTREMLY freaked out when i first learned of it but then i did some reasurch and saw that ppl thought the world was gonna end on 1/1/00 and they made the same HUGE deal... and when it didnt happen they just decided to change the date and freak out even more people.

Answer 1

i'd be more worried about 8:00 on 08/08/08 im being serious

Answer 2

Its just the end of the calender.

The ending of the world is a very interesting topic, so when someone comes up with a reason why it would end people listen. When someone provides a reason why it will end soon people start bringing it up in conversations, it spreads, and 1 in 10 people start saying they "could have sworn I heard it was for real!".

Seriously, why would an extinct civilization know anything about when the world would end... and what does "the end of the world" even mean?! The end of our social structure? Then end of civilization? The end of humanity? The end of the Earth? The end of the universe?

People these days think everything around them is too complex to understand. JUST USE SOME COMMON SENSE! Why would an ancient civilization who didn't even use the wheel know anything about the future... they couldn't predict their own demise for God's sake!

Answer 3

Nobody prior to the 20th Century ever predicted that the world was going to end in 2012.  The Mayan calender ends there but makes no mention of the world ending, Nostradamus never predicted anything regarding 2012 nor did The Bible.  Therefore it should be taken as seriously as the warnings of the apocalypse that was supposed to happen on January 1, 2000.
