World Ends in 2012?

Thousands of people in The Netherlands say that they expect the world to end in the year 2012. Many are stocking up on supplies for the Apocalypse.

A Dutch-language newspaper says most of the believers they talked to tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, which ends around December 21 of that year.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?

There was a Baptist preacher who said the same thing back in the 80s and he made alot of money off the simple minded people who believed him. In the bible God said noone will know when the end will come. To me these people can believe what they want,but I will believe what the bible says.

The Mayan's long term calendar says 2012...

The Chinese "I Ching" when ran through a super computer says 2012....

The Bible says a man of Muslim descent in his 40s will sweet talk the world and bring good change for the first half of several yeras before showing his true intents....

Obama elected in 2008 then re-elected in 2012....?

Truth is stranger than fiction.....

Watch Discovery and History channels for more information on all of this. How people over 5000 years ago pegged 2012 for the end and all that is going on is a head scratcher!

Listen I have read and seen many documentaries indicated that on December 12, 2012 a major disaster will strike earth. I also believe that if all those terrorists in Guantanamo Bay or let free, perhaps the disaster will HAPPEN in 2011...for now, I will not bother myself with such nonsense nor would I question what God has install for us but live each day like if it were my last and ENJOY IT WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS...on another note, many thought THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN 1999..we all saw the stupidity that people committed, withdrawing their money GETTING ROB AND ENDING WITH NOTHING...ME PERSONALLY I went on a shopping spree and just like the song I PARTIED LIKE 1999 only thing I woke up in 2000 WE WERE STILL HERE EXCEPT I AM STILL PAYING ALL THOSE DAM CHARGES........LMAOFFFFFFF...ruf ruf...MORNING.......

Why are people so negative?...
i cannot believe people are still talking about this! the people who proposed this theory ended the calender at 2012 because they couldn't count further than that. We need to start having faith and believing that God wouldn't do this to us.

The world will end ..... some day. No one knows when, no one CAN know when. Scientists are guessing (educated guessing, but guessing nonetheless). Theologians apply interpretation (aka "spin") to religious texts. No matter how pursuasive the argument, individual gullibility will determine who believes what about the unknown.

Like Eric said...or quoted..."No man, not even Christ, will know the hour or the day when the end will come".

But it's fun putting in the puzzle pieces, isn't it? ;)

Watcher you are incorrect when you say The Bible says a man of Muslim descent in his 40s will sweet talk the world and bring good change for the first half of several yeras before showing his true intents....

Not true my friend. If you are talking about the Anti-christ then he would of Jewish decent and the Bible didnt give his age. And he wont rule from the States but set his kingdom up in Jerusalem.

As far as the world ending pretty soon, So be it. I am not afraid. but no man knows the hour so dont listen to what all these people say.

Thanks for pointing that out, Afelton, but I never said the anti-christ. It's about a false prophet who precedes....

But.....

Vote McCain to be safe....lol

Lauren: if it is correct it's a winter solstice party...

I find it interesting we've come to a conclusion every period on the Mayan calender cycles except the longest one. Something doesn't seem quite right if all the other units cycle why doesn't the longest one? They've found texts to calculate dates way before and after the Mayan calender started and ended, but thats not very interesting is it. remember we are trying to piece together something that is debated when it actually started by years if not more, and something that hasn't been used for centuries.. It's like our civilization ending and we have no unit after a millenia to future civilizations when trying to decrypt our strange texts.

Now on the other side I'm content with the world ending tomorrow if it happens. We will go to a better place :)

Ok...ok..according to the History Channel..LOVE THAT CHANNEL....they had a few years ago (maybe 4 years ago) in theory what would happen in 2012..DECEMBER 12, 2012..yes they were precised as to date. It is said that every 100 years or 1000...the world goes through changes...i.e. ice age, dinasaour etc.meteor hitting us..so being that this date is about right making it 1000 years or 100 the prediction was that MACHINES WOULD TAKE OVER...YES machine not kidding toaster will blow you away; lawn mower etc. PETS WILL TALK BACK TO YOU - SO BE NICE TO THOSE CUTE AND LARGE ONES......but then again THESE ARE PREDICTIONS..whose right is THE BIBLE...remains to be seen. Personally I hope I am safely tucked away with the LORD

Well this is awsome!! Everyone now that found themselves stuck with all their Y2K supplies and generators, can now sell them on EBay to these folks!

Myself, I think when McCain wins the election, we should send Susan Suranden, and Alex Baldwin to live there!

The holy rollers who believe in this BLEEP and try to force others to also believe in it are the biggest problem with todays society.

Its just as bad as anyone trying to say that Obama will be a good president. Yeah, thats another big joke right there.

2012 isn't that the date set for our new “EPA emission regulations” to go into affect ? It could just be that we have to give up our big cars and fast bikes so ...”life ends in 2012” !
What supplies does one buy for the end of the world ? ...but I will take this as seriously as I can , I am willing to bet every one of you $50 that the world is not going to end in 2012...so if we all die I owe you $50 , if not send your checks to.....

EPA emmission regs by 2012? Either that or Dupont's patent on R-22 will expire and the world will once again be in peril unless we all switch to the new refridgerant that just so happens that Dupont has a new patent on.....

China and India will be happy as by then they will have finally depleated the world stockpile of illicit R-4 and R-7 plus all the illegal cans of hairspray and spray on Right Guard.... Then all the R-22 will go there, and we will start using the new stuff..

Thanks Kyoto!

I have the cash , how to collect is your problem (could be a “see you in hell” kind of thing) LOL
Hang on a moment you know where I can score some illegal R-4 , if the world is going to end any way put me down for 6 30 pound cylinders ....never used R-7 what is the molecular weight of that one ? Larger than R-12 or smaller ? Speaking of which if any of you have any R-12, it is illegal and I will be happy to come and pick it up to “dispose” of it safely for you !!!

Cromagnonwoman

Jun 24, 2008 | 2:43 PM

Look on the internet. You can still buy R-12. There are plenty of companies here in the USA still recycling that stuff. You better have an EPA certification to buy it.
