The end of the world, if you believe the words of Nostradamus and the Mayan.

Some months ago I saw a documentary with my bro, pretty convincing, convinved me, though I forgot it after 5 Min., well im pretty sure many of you heard about it aswell.

Anyway, some days ago I told it to my gf and ever since she just keeps talkin bout it and how the world may end, now she even wants me to take her to the 2012 movie.

So now that I heard all of her damn frikkin annoying zombie aliens shooting nuclear bombs out of their asses versions of how the Earth may go down I was wondering what you guys think about it?

What goes for me, well, I try not to think about it at all, the easy way.

I couldn't care less.

If the world will end, theres nothing I can do to stop it, so I'll continue living the way I am now.

If the world won't end, there is no reason to do anything, so I'll continue living the way I am now.

Thus, whether the world ends or not is of no importance to me.

The end of the world will probably happen in some form sooner or later, but I don't think the prognostication abilities of people that lived between 400 and 2000 years ago should be relied too heavily upon.

I am now taking bets.

I will bet $100 that the world will not end in 2012.

If it does not end, you pay me $100. If it does I'll pay you $100.....

I don't believe it will happen.

However if it DID, it would likely be one of two things:

1. Nuclear War
2. H1N1 Swine Flu

It's not easy to trust predictions made 2000 years ago, no matter how advanced the civilization was at the time.

We'll see if you're this calm when facing your impending fiery death.

ah this is one of the main topics of Coast to Coast AM

however, according to better understandings of the various prophecies and predictions regarding 2012, it's better understood that that year stands for a very significant change to earth, not the end of it. It's the end of an approx. 5000 year cycle, in which the solar system is lined up some special way against the galactic center.

Anyways, my favorite prediction about how the earth would significantly change in 2012 is that would be the year of first contact. I'm all down for that.

Well if the Mayan's had all the answers where are they now? Oh wait...all dead. Looks like their world ended a little earlier than expected.

I don't believe the human race will be destroyed, or Earth for that matter.

What I do believe is that on December 21, 2012, the age of Aquarius will begin. The planets and the Sun will then be aligned towards the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. Use your mind to figure out what will happen after that.
