Gotta love the 'End Of The World' predictors    It ain't over till it's over and if your already over it, what's the dif? If the world blows up, will we all be floating around in space bitching about it? Why am I thinking about Mel Brooks movies right now?

Because the Mayan descendents who are alive still actually said so.

Oh Wow.
Sorry

Not sure what this reaction is for...because that wasn't meant to be stringent sounding in tone or anything.
Perhaps I should start putting "lulz" after everything I post.
I'm just saying, because there was a whole fuss about this last year.
There are people of Mayan origin still alive and most are not completely isolated from their cultural history.
I just thought I'd say, because I honestly think Tekla is panicking for no reason here.
>_<

Not to frighten anyone but...

The 'End of A Cycle' deal actually makes sense    The planet Earth has been around for millions of years and has gone through several changes, cleansing it'self from time to time... All it takes is one direct hit from a sizable meteor

Yeah.  And you know that the current residents of France are decedents of the Gauls.  But it doesn't give them any special insight to what was going on there 12 centuries ago - so much changes over time that it's just about the hardest thing to go back and really understand what they were thinking, how they were seeing the world, and what the world looks like to them.  Their link to this past civilization carries with it heritage, which is not to be mistaken for history.  I mean we know that the civilization was on real shaky ground before the Spanish arrived, long before.  The lowlands in particular seemed to have done an Anasazi and just ceased to exist, but no reasons (or even legends) ever explained why.

So it's like Nostradamus - everyone who looks at it thinks they know, but really, does anyone?  Did he even?

Meh personally I want the world to end.

Nope, it is complete balderdash.  Just because a calender ends, it doesn't mean there is a correlation to the end of the world.  The Millenium Bug was more believable.  If the Mayans were around today, I bet they would just have renewed their calender.

Also we know when the earth will end, in about 4 billion year when the sun runs out of fuel and expands to become a red giant.   A large meteor hitting the Earth wouldn't be the end of the world, just the end of the majority of current life on earth.  The dinosaurs ruled and were wiped out but they didn't have space travel or nuclear weapons

If the world ends, we won't have to worry about anything, and if it doesn't we can proceed as normal.

This topic surfaced previously, and my comment is unchanged.  The Maya didn't see the Spanish coming, so why would anyone believe them on this. 

well to be fair they did think he was the reincarnation or whatever of their god, Quatzequatl, who happened to be  portrayed as white with a beard.

LOL no, we don't have to worry

My transition is complete.

I basically live as a woman regardless of my surgical status. Did I mention I was a non op and have no plans for srs, orchi...etc?

I had my ffs done by this doctor in Bev Hills.

  Astronomical standpoint, winter solstice, two days after first quarter moon.  No biggie.  Just a flip of an archaic calendar.  We all got too many our own changes, decisions, tribulations and personal events to worry about this year.

I wonder how many fundi's are getting worried about it?  I would bet that there are more than a few, and it's a pagan prediction. 

I sure hope not, my lifes just now starting to pick up so that would suck big time lol!

Kia Ora Dooms dayers,

"Worry is to pay interest on trouble that may never comes !"

A simple philosophy to follow...If you can do something about it-do it ! If there's nothing you can do about it, then why waste your time worrying !

This looks like a job for Sadhguru :The dooms day slayer...

LOL

I'm with pebbles on that. I didn't think about the second one with the war but I'm not too concerned about that.  As far as the end of the world I doubt it will happen but in the extreme case that it does then it wouldn't bother me because in my heaven I will be complete with the body I should have been born with without wondering how I'm going to pay for it or when are they going to cut me up down there or have needles stuck in me etc. so it's only a win-win situation for me.  I will transition one way or another. 

Oh, for ***** sake.

The translator miscalculated and the calendar cycle doesn't come to an end for another century or so. Which was discovered over a year ago.

From even earlier:
http://science.slashdot.org/story/09/10/26/1517242/2012-a-miscalculation-actual-calendar-ends-2220

There was never any prediction of the end of the world. I think the Mayan scripts suggested the end of an era, start of a new one. There is some significant astronomy-related occurrence that coincides with their prediction, but I can't remember what, because I was investigating it a good 5 years ago at least. The Maya were actually incredibly gifted astronomers - they created what is believed to have been the most accurate calendar of the time and successfully predicted events like solar eclipses hundreds of years in advance. As a result, I don't find it unlikely that something will happen, but I do think it would be in the realm of astronomy, not wars or plague or any of that.

Not that it actually matters, because it won't be relevant for several dozen years.

Kia Ora,

So how will one know if the prediction was right    ...Think about it !
