Is 2012 Real? What do you think.?

Question

I know this question has been asked countless times, but I won't to know what other people think. I know that countless 'Doomsday' predictions have been told like 'Y2K' and the more recent one that a someone said the world would have ended in June from a nuclear Holocaust. I don't believe the world will end, I just want other people opinions.

Answer 1

People used to think that the world would end at midnight on Jan 1st 2000.

Then people thought the world would end on the 6th June 2006 because it was 06/06/06 (666 - number of the devil).

All of the other predictions were wrong, so this one probably is too.

Answer 2

people are always predicting the end of the world ... don't worry about it ... if by some strange coincidence somebody actually gets it right ... we'll all be dead anyway.

Answer 3

I do not believe it is real. One reason is that I believe the christians will be raptured...and then the tribulation begins. Now the tribulation will last 7 years. Then the end will come. 2012 is only 4 years away, so not possible. So 7 years after christians are raptured would be the end and..... that hasn't happened yet.  

Answer 4

Q:  Is 2012 real?  What do you think?

A:  It is a real date four years in the future.  I think it will be a day like any other day and a year like any other year in the 21st. Century.

People who fear 2012 base their fears on the Meso-American Long Count Calender.  I only still bother to answer this question because I dislike doomsayers who scare people.  This because I grew up in a town replete with Jehovah's Witnesses forever prognosticating the End of the World and scaring the less sensible senseless!  As you pointed out Y-2K was a non-event, June did not end in a nuclear holocaust and in 1999 the Great King of Terror (predicted by Nostradamus to come from the sky) was a complete No-Show!  All of the JWs end-time predictions (and there were many!) have proved false and now they have developed mass amnesia about their predictions!  So what is the truth about the Mayan/Aztec (take your pick) Calendar?

Know this first:  These people were calendar-makers but they were chipping away at stone, not computer generating their calendars. This is a very time-consuming task. Second, these people (like other people of their time who liked to star gaze and make calendars) couldn't care less about what was going to happen to an unknown people way in the 21st. Century.  They were only concerned with their own affairs.  

What must have occured was that worked ceased on their calendar on that particular date in 2012 for one of two reasons:  

1. They were overrun by enemies and had to stop working on their calendar on that date in order to head for the hills.  Or:  

2. They were overtaken by plague or some other natural disaster when they reached that date in 2012 and so they had to stop working on their calendar in order to head for the hills.  

In either case remember this very important fact:  They failed to predict their own end (by assimilation) way before the year 2012.  What makes anyone believe that they were able to predict our own end-times when they first failed to predict their own end???

Answer 6

ppl thought bad things will happen and the world would end in 2000 but that never happened

Answer 7

I have bet everyone on YA who asked this question $1000 that doomsday will not be 12/21/12. No one has bet against me on here. In bars, a dozen drunkards bet with me. I am wearing a $12,300 Cartier "Santos Dumont" watch. 12/22/12, I will win enough to buy another such watch. This prediction was invented by some charalatan based upon ignorance and wild guesses about one of many cycles of the Mayan calendar. He or other morons added nonsense to that basic beginning. The whole thing is obviously "kuso" (Japanese for $#!+), so it is appalling to see so many people mindlessly repeat this absurd stuff. Some TV channels that should know better have evidently had shows that blindly repeat this "ngao si" (Chinese for bull$#!+).

Answer 8

I don't believe that the world will end in 2012. But most previous Doomsday predictions didn't have any scientific evidence (Y2K, 6/6/06, etc.) At least December 21, 2012 has evidence from lots of different people.  

Answer 9

Remember Y2k? Everyone thinks the world is gonna end tomoro

Answer 10

ugh im not sure, but i dont think anything will happen

or atleast i hope

Answer 11

See that green bar that says "Search" at the top of this page?  If you type "2012" into that and click the button, you'll get more than 12,000 different questions and answers that contain that text string.  Some will be about other topics, but most will probably be on this doomsday prediction.

Me - I don't believe it.  The mayans just ran out of room on their stone at this point.  The influence of gravity caused by any planetary alignment at that point will be miniscule - probably unmeasurable.  But the fluffheads keep yelping about this as some sort of cosmic milestone that will be "The End Of Civilization".  Don't you believe them.  Mankind is a bit more resourceful than that.  Well - most of us are.  The fluffheads may head for the hills or bury their heads in the sand.  The rest of us will just sell them more sand, is all.
