Doomsayers await the end of the world

Doomsayers await the end of the world

www.independent.co.uk< br />

The end of the world is nigh, or so apocalypse observers would have you believe. The Mayan and Hopi Mesoamerican Long Count calendar may have begun in 3114BC and continued unerringly ever since, but it comes to an abrupt halt on 21 December 2012. Hence, the belief gaining ground among those who fall for this kind of thing that the cosmos will cease to exist in 12 days' time.

I will be the first to say; I don't think the world is going to end on 21st 2012.

That being said, I am and will be following all those that do, the sheer amount of people, and volume of arguments coming from the " Doomsayer " is alarming to say the least.


A few days ago, the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, made a joke, the Mayan predictions in a spoof television appearance for the radio station Triple J. Acknowledging that "The end of the world is coming"...

Just as the story aired , I had a few folks drop into ATS chat and argue about it being true, and that the end was nigh...

List of possible causes

- Jews, as is with every disaster man-made and natural.
Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck
Reptoids
Scientologists
Large Hadron Collider
Al Gore
Justin Bieber
Tacgnol
Bronies
White Trash
You

Well I hope to see you all on the 22nd, See you on the other side ATS

I feel the 21st of december is going to be the biggest anti climax for a long,long time.If
I thought the slightest thing out of the ordinary was going to happen I'd be jumping for joy as it gives me an excuse to phone in and take the day off work.

The fact I'm going to work on the 21st shows you how concerned I am,afterall you wouldn't want to waste the end of the earth by working.lol !!

I just hope the server farm ATS uses is up to the traffic on the 21st.

I'll be spending the 21st the same way I do every December 21st.

Sobbing hysterically and soiling myself. Not because of any doom, but due to the Christmas spending we'll be doing.

Also, SLAYER is having a party that day. BYOB and hotpockets. He'll have fondue and little bits of stuff on toast for snacks.

Ater reading the whole article , i was pleasantly suprised to find a link video about a bikini dance on a vietnamese airline.
ok back to TEOTWAWKI
Those Russian preppers are on the ball ,Buying up matches ,fuel and sugar? should make for an interesting apocalypse party

The thing Im more worried about is that so many people are waiting for this date. The elite know this so it is the perfect opportunity to make something happen or appear to happen. Cut the power and all hell breaks loose while they sit comfortably in their bunkers. Maybe they wait till after the date when everyone is relaxed and done fearing. Sound crazy??

Dear Spike Spiegle,

I don't think many people actually believe the world will end this year. How many people do you personally know that actually believe the world ends this month, I don't know one. Seems more about telling the masses that people believe it then there are actually people who do.

Indeed, I too will be spending this 21st as I do all my 21st...

Hotpockets and fondu you say, I'm there!

Though I must admit it sounds slightly too... " high brow " for me, I'd probably just drop hotpocket and fondu sauce on everyone

I'm telling you.. We had many preppers today buying out Pepsi and Mt. Dew. products... Something tells me their going to be selling like gold, like Twinkies on EBAY. It's happening people. Get ready.......

Unfortunately I've met more then my fair share, be it during my day to day, or here on ATS.

Hence why I am prepared for more then one " horror" stories from the " doomsayers "....

Hopefully not too many.

I told my sister I wasn't shopping for x-mas. I don't celebrate it. And she's like, "Yeah, but she's your niece" and I'm "And, your point is?" I'm saving money.

Besides, last year I bought her a karaoke microphone and she busted in the same night smacking her mom with it. Spent $100 bucks, saved a $100 bucks.

Of course you're invited! And the cookies are fine. (just don't eat the "raisin" ones)
