It's 08.08.08 - and the world didn't end

The world wont end for awhile.

Just wait till 2012. Nice big social unheveal will happen then. Guess that could be the 'end of the world' for some people.
Plus we still have a political assassination to wait for this year! I wonder who it will be.

Okay. It's the 8th of August 2008 today.

Many ATS posters made prophecies about this day as the start of World War III/End Of The World/Alien Invasion/etc.

Well, it looks like that the world didn't end today, nor the 3rd World War started.

So, I am asking you, my dear prophets - especially the ones who have marked 08.08.08 as the day of Doom.

What do you have to say about this now?

Let's shift the goal post for next year 09.09.09, last year's 07.07.07 & this year 08.08.08 has came and gone.

Does this surprise you?
The best thing about 08.08.08, is that it ends, we can laugh and move on.

Things like CERN are a sane person's worst nightmare because it'll be in use for probably 20+ years before a bigger/better one comes along. Meaning the same nut jobs will be ranting about it bringing about the end for decades. Ugh.

Still another 3.5 years left in 2012 and they'll milk it to it's very last hour!

epic fail on the part of every doomsayer

2012 will play out the exact same way as Y2K. How many more failed prophecies do we need before we all stop quaking in our boots at every coincidence/ancient nonesense/pretty number combination. Get out of the 11th century and join the 21st century where eclipses are caused by the sun and moon and not an evil spirit threatening to swallow the sun forever unless you chop off enough heads!

Well Russia was threatened by Israel earlier today regarding the S-300s possibly being sold to Iran. Meanwhile the events in Georgia lead to an invasion by some Russian tank units today. Leading to Georgia asking for foreign intervention against Russia today. Still quite a while to go and plenty of time for any terrorist attempts on Olympic Game Targets. There is definitely potential for a greater escalation in the Russia - Georgia/Israel - Iran field.

I doubt though that it is going to go uber fast or overnight into the realms of doom, though there is enough to kick off a larger or more widespread conflict.

I always knew we were in a reversed reality. The so called one that would be considered good, godly ,and humane would actually be the most wretched and evil. The one considered by the masses to be wretched and evil would be the good guys.

Givem hell Putin, Chinas got your back

It won't be long before the 09.09.09 theorists get to work.
It's 666 upside down don't you know.
Followed by.. War, end of the world, impending doom etc

I agree. And when 09.09.09 comes and the wold is still here - or when 22.12.2012 comes - and the world is still here - well, what will all the "prophets" do?

A major war did start in 08.08.08, and till now it looks like its heading for world war, if its not already started!
SO THUMBS UP TO THE PREDICTION!

Is it just me, or does the violence between Russia and Georgia seem to be escalating. Especially since Russia has confiscated tons of American supplied arms which were to be supplied to Georgia? And now Canada is black-balling any military training operations which would include Russia.

I mean it's only been 1 week, but alot does seem to have happened and is still yet to come.

NO! NO! NO! You've got it all wrong! Doomsday will be 09.09.09 as is upside down 666 - the day the world turns upside down on itself! Or was it 10.10.10 as in the code of the PC's - on off on off on off. No, the end of the world is 11.11.11 as in a full board of "ons" or yeses" meaning YES, the end of the world. Ah hell, I can't remember anymore. I will just watch the end of the world from my grave I suppose but I may be alive for the American Revolution Part II...

And when we pass by 09.09.09, 10.10.10, 11.11.11 and 21.12.2012 - and the world will still remain as it is, we will still lead our everyday lives, we still sit in front of our computer screens and post on ATS, while waiting for some other new major Doom hype to happen - well, wouldn't we realize at some point that all those Doom predictions and expectations have taken years of our lives - and that we have wasted so many years on nothing.


Wouldn't that be the worst realization - even worse than the End Of The World?


Would you passively sit and waste your lives on never-fulfilling predictions and let the future take control over you - of would you start living your lives and take control of the future?

Morpheus: Do you believe in fate, Neo?

Neo: No.

Morpheus: Why not?

Neo: Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life.

Just a thought: may be the whole paranoia/End Of The World hype is actually made by the NWO shadow government to keep us in fear. So basically, we will live in fear of our own future, and one day will will ultimately become our own demise.

Self terrorism indeed!
