bblankfein Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hello. I am interested in 2012, notably - the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world 12.21.2012. Many people talk about it now, besides, the movie comes out soon. I'm interested to read something about it. Disclosing this theme. Advise me some articles please. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you The Mayans made no such prophecy. All that happens with the Mesoamerican Mayan long-count calendar is that the 13th B'ak'tun ends and the 14th B'ak'tun begins. The movie, on the other hand, looks like it'll be usual Roland Emmerich fare: Total fantasy with little care for reality, but rather fun despite that.

Ophiolite Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 What will happen in 2012? London will host a moderately successful Olympics, but people will complain about the weather, the high cost of accomodation and inadequate transport facilities. Meanwhile conspiracy merchants. doomsayers, the intellectually stunted, and those who prey on the foregoing will be searching out the next 'plausible' End-of-the-World scenario. My advice is get in early, identify it quickly and make a packet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iNow Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 In 2012, reality will provide us with yet more evidence regarding how wrong prophecies are, and how silly people are for buying into such tripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholly buy into the idea that Stone's prediction of "vertical" tasting events will come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 What will happen in 2012? London will host a moderately successful Olympics, but people will complain about the weather, the high cost of accomodation and inadequate transport facilities. And Jeane Dixon will remain dead.

John Cuthber Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I predict that a group of people who, in the circumstances ought to say "Oh Shucks! I was wrong" will say "The scriptures have been misunderstood ; the world is meant to end on..." and will set a date at some point between, say, 2012 and 2030. I predict that I will be well and trully pissed off with the olympics because, while I understand that some people like to prove that they are, for example, the fastest runner in the world, I don't understand why they think I should care.

Your country...forces you to watch the Olympics or something? I don't see how them competing in sports impacts you in any way, shape, or form.

insane_alien Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 well its not as if it is a low profile event. the olympics will take up significant space in tv news, newspapers, radio, people will be talking about during the day. its kind of hard to not hear about it due to the vast quantity of coverage.

elas Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Your country...forces you to watch the Olympics or something?I don't see how them competing in sports impacts you in any way, shape, or form. John Cuthber is a Brit. The opening ceremony will be compared with the remarkable last opening ceremony. It's a safe bet (prediction) that all us Brits are in for a huge embarrasment. Our politicians are in charge, we are already in national debt to the tune of £20,000 per person (including children) soon we will add to that the losses on the olympics, it will not just impact on us, it will pound us into the ground.

D H Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I predict that in 2012 The US will elect a Democrat or Republican as President. A political scandal will take place somewhere in the world. A famous celebrity will die. News agencies will cover this death to death. The year will end on December 31. I will of course accept cash contributions in recognition of these amazing prognostic capabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really not see how cluttering up the 5 terestrial TV chennels with pictures of people running round in circles impacts on me, or did you just not think very hard before you posted that? Anyway I predict that in 2012 Christmass and New year will fall in the same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mooeypoo Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Narrator: There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much hate the Olympics too, but I'm not going to complain about them doing it for a week every four freakin' years. Have some modicum of respect for your fellow humans and their aspirations.

John Cuthber Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 What do you propose to do for the other week? Not to mention the "excitement" of the run-up to it? Have enough respect for my point of view to check the basic facts before deriding it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Tripolation Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 When nothing is on TV, I play Halo. I study. I do my homework. Sometimes I get caught up on some intern-ish stuff I'm doing. I watch movies, go out with friends, and if I had a lady-friend, I might spend some time with her. There is a plethora of things going on besides what's on the TV. I'm not saying the converage is ridiculous (it is), I'm saying that you really need to lighten up and let other people show off their life work for one week every four years! Is that too much to ask for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
