These types of slow change posts only seemed to start appearing a couple months ago as the "Doomsday Believers" realized how foolish they we're gonna look on December 22nd.

WAKE UP The World is ALWAYS Changing, ALWAYS Elvolving. You say you noticed this change start around 1998, or 89 (hurt my eyes to read your post)? Well what of the Start of Cold War, and Man Landing on the Moon in the 60's? We're these not MONUMENTAL CHANGES?
What of the Great Depression, the Holocaust, WWI, Vietnam. The building of the Great Pyramids. The World is always changing, constant EBB and FlOW. Positive=Negative,Karma. Why do the Mayan people deserve credit for this latest change, when nothing AT ALL happened on the key Date, heck I didn't even stub my toe. Because they made an accurate calendar that ended on a date.
Well, I have a Calendar created by Way more scientifically advanced Humans and it ends on Dec 31st 2012. But it's ok, because there's already tiny versions of the 2013 calendar on the last page, and full sized 2013 Calendars on sale in stores. Whew, Praise Jesus!

I heard this in 2000, then in 2002, 2004, 2005 and every year since. Are you new to Ats?
You guys keep making this stuff up and shifting years.. making predictions that never come true. remember the fema camps, mass starvation and police state?
Yea.. BS, all of it.
Now it's "2013", when that comes to pass you will say "2014" and so on.
I really shouldn't rag on you though, you need this.. NEED it, it's how you survive month after month, trying to scare people with dire predictions. There was a guy on ATS I basically laughed at with all his scientific predictions of mass earthquakes and volcanoes in 2008.. his thread was HUGE, cats and dogs and HORSES! were scattering, boilers needed to be tied down, the entire gumball.
I took a lot of heat for that and.... what happened? Average disasters on an average year.
Where did he go? He turned in to you, or someone just like you. Moved on to a new subject.
There were also "look at all the FEMA camps. no one has food!" Nada
Then "Romney is going to steal the election" Nada
Mayans predicted the end of the world - NADA
Some rouge planet to smack the Earth - NADA
see a pattern?
last month this website was awash with all the "we're gonna die" and right on cue the day after now we have "mark my words it's coming" to me, that is such a sad existence. The only one you are convincing is your fellow hats. You can get mad and stomp your feet all you want, it's cool to talk about things.. it's not cool with me to demand that it going to happen and then when it doesn't shift gears to something else.
Like psychics that steal your money, your doing the same thing for absolution, it's selfish and dangerous.

These unelected people took a vote and no one without a degree can get a top job in this Euopean Union, it is an elitest organization, where you find freedom here baffles me.
This nip picking takes away from any message a person is trying to get across.
When you lose all your freedoms and are in a Fema camp and your son or daughter says "daddy did you not know this was happening" what are you going to say.
Yes I did read it honey' but you must understand It was not in paragraphs so i ignored it.

You seem to be saying (in a basic nutshell) because people in History had it bad we should stop complaining as they had it worse?reply to post by kaptabs
I see the ATS disease has gotten to you, if you had read my post it was about comparing history to TODAY and calling it worse, it was not about hardships that still exist today. I did not say anything about you not being able to complain about your life or some unknown person in India you currently aren't helping except with lip service.
Complaining is the human condition.. I am merely pointing out the "it's worse" crap.
we ARE whiny little snots, all of us, we have it made and all we do is bitch bitch bitch and do nothing.
You know what is worde, the guys replying to the OP about MONEY, that someone else has it and they don;t.. that is REALLY sad, because anyone who even mentions money is out of the conversation, period, because all it is at that point is someone whining that someone else has MORE.
No one is promised a mansion on this earth, it is not your "right" to sip cognac by an ocean view. Other people BEFORE you sacrificed to get what they have, some more than others and some not deserving granted but that alone does not give you some right to riches. And in case you get the wrong idea, which I am sure you will, by sacrifice I do not mean some old white rich guy built a company on the backs of the poor, I am talking about people who discovered this land, tilled it, bled for it, died for it, fought for every scrap they ever received.
what have you done for these rights you think belong to you?
You point fingers and whine, while doing nothing as if it's someone else's fault, always someone else's. You could get off your butt and go to Africa, you could have went to medical school (I'll wait while you tell me you have 11 degrees or something) but what do you do instead, spend your time on ATS proclaiming famine for the masses.
I'll see you at the end of 2013 and you know what will happen? you won't apologize for your postulations, you won't back down, you'll just say "2014, mark my words" like all the rest
But just because you cannot seem to be able to read my entire post or discern it, here it is again summized..
I didn't say the world was perfect, I said it is BETTER There are 7 billion people on this planet and the vast majority live meaningful fulfilling lives, kids getting killed by drones.. HORRIBLE, absolutely HORRIBLE, but wander back just a few decades and tell me how many Jewish kids died in an oven?
The world is a better place, not perfect, better.
Your cancer postulation, surely this is some NWO twisted theory based on acendotal evidence (my entire family has cancer diabeties and aids! coincidence! I think NOT! even my dog is lathargic!!!) , that all the little people are getting weeded out and yet, 7 BILLION on the planet, growing every day, more countries coming out of the third world every day. Were living longer than at any point in human history and yep, were making mistakes along the way
You want to focus on the negative and paint the planet.. ok, your right to do so, but please don;t sit there and tell me the world is worse now than at any time in history because it's simply not the case.
But that's ok, rant... get it off your chest, ignore content to further your own opinions on something not actually being discussed.

Terrific post! Gave you a star for that. Glad to see some common sense amidst all the ridiculous hysteria. There has been constant change, and there will continue to be constant change long after we're all dust. I feel it's unbelievable all the whining from people about how terrible everything is. Compared to hundreds of years ago, we have it pretty good.

Ok first, I have been a member here for a very loong time under a different username (gormly) and I can't remember my password. I have been tempted to retrieve it and log in and contribute but to be honest I get enough ridiculousness on reddit and this website just continues to amaze me with the lack of critical thought.
But this one, got me.
I can understand the conspiracy theories but this stuff.. is just too much. People clinging to things and distorting them to fit their now lost beliefs. We see this after every doomsday passes.
I am sure someone right now is busy trying to reinterpret the Mayan calendar to say they mean "Dec 21 2013"
The post the OP made and the subsequent replies all miss one key fact.
The world is a better place now than it ever has been.
Struggling with college costs?
a few hundred years ago almost everyone was illiterate.
Your job sitting in a chair all day or stocking shelves got you down, stuck in a dead end position with no end in site?
a few hundred years ago it was back breaking physical labor and you worked for 12-16 hours day just to survive, and there you are complaining on a website instead of bettering yourself to get what you want
That 99% you're always bitching about? they are doing fine with their iPads and Cappachinos.
You worried about "violence"
take a walk back anywhere in history.
You worried about "oppression"
take a walk back anywhere in history.
Think social security isn't enough to tied you over in your waning years?
that was invented less than a century ago
Think everyone hates each other over politics?
LOL you don't really pay attention to history
Pissed that you barely have enough cash to afford Ramon noodles?
Hmm, I wonder if people before you had trouble with food supply? I wonder if they had to till their own fields and protect every scrap of food with their lives? No?
Got sick and you can't afford to pay the doctor bill and you are now in debt?
I wonder how all those people who died from the simplest diseases back sat just a few dozen years ago would feel in your shoes? You know, treatments for disease, cancer breakthroughts, vaccines...
My point for those of you who live in the here and now and claim this to be the worst time in history...
you have no business complaining in this manner, you know jack squat about history. If you want to complain about you current conditions, please feel free to do so, but complaining that this is the worst time in history and this time is some kind of catalyst just shows that you are no student of history and have no business making such a comment.
You (no one specific here not picking on anyone in particular) have an iPhone, you have an internet connection that lets you write all your jumbled logic-less thoughts online for the world to see, you go home at night to a warm bed and food in your stomach.
You are just a whiny self absorbed human.
Please note, I mean no disrespect to any one particular person, I just get frustrated when people do not look very far into history before they claim something "worst evar!"

excellent I will mark my calendar and if you are right I will apologize and convert and beg forgiveness (seriously I will).
what will you do in June say around the 22nd if it doesn't come to pass?
I don't expect an answer here, it is completely rhetorical.
Keep in mind though if you commit, I WILL point you out in a new thread with links .
Just for the record, a quick search on basically your quote
I will thank god if this does not come to pass and there is no hunger and perhaps cry in relief because I have grand children, but the bankers will still make money they will rise prices. and by a lot.
Facts : bankers using bailout cash have been buying futures in food they now own the lot, they they have called in shipping loans even loans from shipping companies that make a profit.
shows that MANY posts have been made about this, in the same years I mentioned before, all the way back to 2000 ALL proclaiming that was the year. what makes yours any different?
