2012

I'm not really afraid of the whole 2012 thing.... but I am kinda afraid it's becoming an overly pubglicised / marketed thing... why is it that every generation needs to believe it' the one that was the last to walk the earth? Are we THAT insecure about our significance?

Isn't that exactly what St. Patrick said to the Irish before he converted them?

No, he said, "Enough's enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking island!"

Then they'll go on about how the media twisted their perspectives out of context and blew things out of proportion, and it will work because we're all used to the media doing that anyway. It's a convenient scapegoat that'll be used to save face. The sad thing about it is that it fits so nicely, even the proponents of these doomsday predictions will believe their own tailored stories and it won't be long until there arrives a new event to fear. And they'll be convinced that this time, this time, it's going to happen.

I think the saddest thing of all is that it's only a matter of time before one of these events are actually accurate. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. We can't go on existing forever, and eventually humanity is going to know when that end is near. I just think our time is better spent enjoying life with hope than not living it at all because of constant fear.

They already have a back up date prepared, they always do. 2016. Trust me.

I'm seriously losing all respect I ever had for History Channel. As if focusing on stuff like bigfoot and UFOs wasn't bad enough, this weekend has been nothing but end of the world stuff.

People bring up how there are "diverse" cultures of people besides the Mayan's who believe 2012 holds some kind of significance and yet nobody can drop any names in particular or explain why they are valid sources.

I hate the History channel, they have gotten carried away with this stuff, and I'm tired of all these douches who believe that somehow all these ancient civilizations know more about astronomy and the fate of mankind than we do which is just retarded, and yet at the same time they focus a lot of time airing programs about dumbasses who can't accept that many human achievements were indeed human achievements and that maybe they didn't need the assistance of a higher power like god or aliens.

"Oh gee, those pyramids were quite challenging to make, which must mean aliens made them for us, durrrr"

Sure, it's not like they had a sh*tload of jew slaves or anything.
