It does seem like that would happen, since people now a days a easily impressionable. It wouldn't be surprising if panic alone started a downward spiral...

Ah well, I'm just gonna sit at home and watch what happens. If panic ensues, sweet, people are more scared than I am. If not, well whatever we made it to Dec 22, 2012.

On Dec.21st If we all die, I'm giving everyone I know 50 Dollars.
including everyone here....
^See what I did there

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...alyptic_events

Since the dawn of time, people have been choosing arbitrary dates and numbers that predict Mystery Disaster X. They were all wrong in the past, they will be wrong today, and they will be wrong tomorrow. (ignoring the fact that the sun will eventually die off, killing everything on Earth)

That said, I would advise staying indoors on December 21st if possible. There are plenty of people who believe in this thing and may indulge in reckless and harmful behavior. The end of the Mayan calender is 'the big one' for the-sky-is-falling predictions, so there may be something to fear from other human beings.

Besides general human ******tery, nothing magical, mysterious, divine, demonic, or unexplainable will happen. There is nothing to fear.

If the apocalypse happens, nobody will be around to say, "Haha, I told you so."
So always deny it.

And now, the official theme song of December 21,12:

Turns out I work an all day shift at work on the 21st.

Guess I can go around asking random people who stop by work who actually believes it.

The 21st falls on a Friday, so I have school that day. It's the last day of school I have before break. I wonder how many people will be either cracking jokes about the day or panicking.

I don't believe the world will end on the 21st. Why?

New Mayan Calendar Unearthed in the Ruins of Xultun

"Newly discovered wall writings found in Guatemala show the famed Maya culture's obsession with cycles of time. But they also show calendars that go well beyond 2012, the year when the vanished civilization, according to popular culture, expected the end of the world. Some of them include dates corresponding to a time after the year 3500. "

I think that the whole world ending theory has just been hyped by the press and the internet and on that day nothing will likely happen.

I'm not afraid of the Doomsday. I'm afraid of the people who believe in the event. Just think, having thousands of believers thinking its the last day of their life. What would they do? If they think everyone's going to die anyways, do you think they would care about what they do the day before? I'm going to stay home for those days just to be safe.

I'm definitely seeing my girlfriend on the supposed doomsday anyways and I'm sure she's gonna do something fun with me cause she's probably gonna use 2012 as an excuse for doing something crazy.. also, we're partners for this sweet 15 court and yeah... I'm actually quite excited for whatll happen haha

So, if my geography is correct, based on where the Mayan civilization was located, and by some cruel joke to humanity the world were to truly end on the 21st, it would end on midnight of the 22nd in Central Time. That would be 1am for me.

I have some plans for one minute before that time.

It just occurred to me, but I wonder how many babies are going to be born in September 2013 because of this.

2 days wow.... I will tell you all about how I feel about the whole saga on the 22nd...

So... Who's ready? Two days left!

I don't know about you. But I see no face on the moon, or it getting closer.

Stupidity aside, turns out my schedule got switched around on the 21st, so now I'm "Opening the End of the World."

... At least that's what my supervisor said to me.

The world can't end Friday I've been getting emails from the year 2036!

1:30 AM right now for me... Under 23 hours remain. Come at me, world.

Hah, it's still Wednesday here. I have a while. And what if it doesn't end on 12/21/12 on the dot, like it could end sometime during the day, maybe even the night of it. I seriously hope if it does happen, it happens LATE at night so I can still have some time with my girl...

What timezone is actually supposed to happen in? I've heard GMT and GMT+13, which is it!?

I had no idea there was a timezone for it. Never crossed my mind.

Aw man, Cat already made the "If you were born in September 2013, your life is irrelevant" joke. Ah well.
I know a guy whose birthday is on that day. I might make him a special doomsday card or something, I dunno. All I know is that my iPod is ready to loop Final Day from Majora's Mask and my vocal cords are ready to constantly scream "IT'S THE END OF THE WOOOOORLD!" It's gonna be a FUN day~!

Anyone else hoping it's Zombies?

This isn't even a debate thread anymore, is it.

Whoa, this was a debate thread? I disagree with that statement. This seems not like a debate thread

The only thing I'm holding my breath for is all of the stupid things believers of the "prophecy" will do, and how that'll affect us after the "apocalypse". This is when the gullibility of certain people will be put into a harsh and potentially catastrophic light.
I did hear (though my sources are most likely a joke) that there could be a massive solar flare which may disable communications in a few regions of the world. And it could me more hullabaloo.

Although a solar flare happening... the chances of it happening on that day I'm pretty sure are low, but it will screw up satellites and electricity. It would be expensive getting everything back in working order. That would be a way to end the world.

Well if the world ends there is no need for me to study for my exams in January

How many people do you think this will happen to?

I'm disappointed.

Only thing I'm worried about for the 21st is how many people would be stupid enough to do something incredibly stupid. There were some rumors floating around my school today saying "something bad is going to happen," which has hinted that someone may try to shoot up the school. Bunch of idiots roam my school, I swear.

As I mentioned before, the amount of people doing stupid stuff because "You Only Live Once" will definitely be higher than usual.

5:07am here and nothing yet, but don't worry guys, I now know how to save the world.

And I know how to doom the world. Just click the search button on all of these at the same time:

Idiots we live among them. I do expect there to be a few babies to be produced because: "It's the end of the world as we know it, it's the end of the world as we know it". Put that up there on the shelf with **** where it belongs.

Here's a fun read:
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/gee...010&s_cid=e010

Speaking of xkcd, I wonder what they have in store for their Doomsday comic never mind, it's just about Instagram. So, why don't they have a Doomsday comic yet?

It's now 3:52 AM where I am and nothing has happened ;o I totally didn't expect that at all.

10:43 A.M where I live and no meteor rain around.
However, lots of peoples from my school were scared at the idea of the end of the world...
Seriously, that's hilarous to hear them : "Oh, if I'm still alive tomorrow, I promise that I'll a good person and I will work very hard to take my life into my hands"
... What are you waiting for?! ><

Well, when it was meant to happen (11:11) I was in class and loads of idiots started screaming when it turned to this time, bit extreme huh?

I never heard that it was supposed to happen then. Only that it was going to happen sometime today. (The first day of winter... and the shortest day of the year)

The discussion has drifted off the debate, which started months ago. Nothing happened and I already started 22/12/2012. If you want to discuss the apocalypse, then please create a new thread in the General Chat.

Nah, that'd be silly to make a new thread that just continues this one. *moves and re-opens*

I promise that if the world ends today, I will personally hand out $10 to everyone in the world.

Some people believed that in this certain place in France a UFO would come out a hill and save some people before the world ends... Seriously what have some people got to these days...

To answer your question idiots :aliens: you can't explain that.

The day's almost over and I'm not dead yet. I must've not been blasting The Official Theme of the End of the World loud enough.
It was fun yelling out "IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD" and getting annoyed looks. And all the people saying "The hell is that theme music playing?" so I could explain to them. And ALL my teachers let me play the song nonstop since midnight. Love them.

Well I ended my wallets world by spending every cent in it....

Does that count?

No need to panic, I got this:

Hm, I'm still here.

I'm not clearly.

I bet the guy who spent all his money on a bunker feels pretty sad now.

And now for the official theme song of the September 2013 babies. Of which I hope there are few.

Ba de ya, say do you remember? Ba de ya. That night in December. Ba de ya. We thought the world would end that day.
And we say ba de ya. And we were wrong as ever. Ba de ya. The scar we'll have forever. Ba de ya. That's why our child's here todaaaaaaaay!

I'm so glad I only knew 1 person who believed in this. I bet all the people I saw on those doomsday documentaries feel devastated and lost. Hahaha.

Some 'Apocalypse' lol....

Anyone ever see the episode of Futurama where Fry and Farnsworth go to planet Vinci? Well...
*ahem* Some doomsday that was! Barely killed anyone! /Biff

Time to see the state of the economy after this holiday season

It was kind of the end of the world for me... My relationship has been going downhill since that night x(
