The date is just a focal point. To help our little minds focus on a much larger picture. We are already IN the 2012 event. Things are changing everyday almost. It is symbolic. Sure we will be here in 13 but just how?
...Or at all times. But in this case the concept of 2012 is real to many and symbolic to many and meaningless to many others. We can head off careening into each other if you like. Or not. Because if we really want to get down to it from my understanding, all this that so many consider real may or may not be real...

This is where the 2012 argument was brought up as symbolic....

So it is real to some and not real to others. So it is only real if people believe in it then? This is nonsense. That is a no win argument for anyone that takes it up with you because after 2012 comes and passes with no change whatsoever you can say it was real.
More war, more strife, more suffering.... You can say, oh yeah, but people are more spiritual now.
Things get better for everyone, you can say "see, this is what I was talking about".
The world ends, you can claim victory once again....
This 2012 following is no different than a cult.

Argument = Debate = Same thing.
I was just trying to find out if their was any validity to the idea. But you are not providing anything, so I assume my views on the matter are not far off. If they were not, I would surmise you would provide evidence to the matter.
To each their own, believe in whatever you want.

If nothing happens on Dec 21st 2012, I will personally get the ATS logo tattooed on my left butt cheek. That's how confident I am. Ill even contact the Overlord and make it official.

Reading through some other threads I realized that some of us here are enormously invested in the 2012 myth. I'm interested in making a wager and exchanging information in order to bet whether or not anything will actually take place. Let's say we even wait till Jan 1st 2013 to settle it. Now maybe this comes off as unfair because if there is some sort of cataclysmic event and we both die, there's no exchange. Also if we come in to some kind of harmonic convergence and all ascend to a consciousness in which money as we know it is completely irrelevant it's pretty much void again. OR if the global economy eats it big time and neither of us have the cash to pay the other, it'll suck then too...
But I'm saying let's bet $1000 that December 22nd 2012 is pretty much exactly like December 20th. Any takers?
