No not the year. The stupid thing about 2012 is all the doomsday talk. it isn't going to happen. The more and more I read about the doomsday crap the more and more I see how stupid of a society we are.
There are literally people who take post apocalypse training to get ready for 2012. They learn how to make "shelter" out of sticks and make fire by rubbing sticks together. It is dumb. If something like an apocalypse did happen don't waste your time learning how to survive like a stupid caveman.
If the end of the world came we would all be screwed anyway. If it is just a little apocalypse where there are survivors the best way to get ready is to buy water proof matches and stock up on guns and food.
There is no scientific proof to anything related to a 2012 doomsday. If you are worried about it please stop. You have nothing to worry about.

We're a society of people who will get worried over the smallest thing, Remember how Y2K was going to turn the robots against us?
Or how the LHC was going to create a Black Hole and destroy us?

I think it proves older societies were stupid, because I think the vast majority of our current one really isn't all that bothered.

I'm going to be quite irritated if I just happen to randomly die in 2011 and miss it.

Robots? What? Actually I think it was just that all the computers would turn off basically sending us back to the dark ages.

one of my best friends believes in all of this. I don't bother arguing. He always says stuff like "yeah, every ancient civilization predicted the end of the world in 2012!"

Yeah that is the kind of ignorance that is really big these days. Sure there is a big astronomical thing happening in December of 2012 but there is no proof that it will affect us in any way especially considering it has already happened before.

Listen, when the planet Nibiru, prophesied by the Summarians arrives, you'll all be sorry!

*Raises hand*
Just for the sake of controversy, I'd like to mention that until the year 2012 is over, we can't say it won't happen. Just like until tomorrow is over, you can't tell if zombies & demon-men won't take over the World tomorrow due to the secret experiences I've been making in my garage for the last seven years to create an unstoppable army to do my biddings.

The thing about that is that the whole "Earth/Sun/Milky Way Center" alignment is only an alignment from the Earth's prospective, and not a true celestial alignment, so that theory is kinda bupkiss.

You'd think if the Mayans were so good at predicting shit, they'd be able to predict their own demise.

Plus even if you want to go by the Mayan calander, it doesn't say anything about the world ending.

Hand cramps probably.

I mean for crying out loud, when they made the calendar they still had hundreds of years before it ended. They weren't future seers.
