warning this rant my have some language some might find offensive don't say i didn't warn ya..
ok i can't turn on a tv now with out some douche bag scientist or some historian talking about the end of the world in 2012, and its starting to piss me off. there saying that the world is going to fucking stop and spin the other way causing massive tilde waves and earthquakes that will destroy everything on the planet and no one will survive, and how the Mayan calender ends with 2012. so by that logic i can go to Wal-mart and get a 2009 calender and freak out cause the world ends this December cause the calender says so. and that little tiny January one is in case you live. but i wont do that cause thats fucking stupid.
this is sounding a lot like the Y2K crap all over again. nothing is going to happen. there saying it can happen from December 7th to the 14th. i had a chat with my friend and he had this to say
in the year 2012 in December here is whats going to happen in Wisconsin.
1 its going to be fucking cold
2 people are going to get there Christmas shopping done.
3 it may snow
4 if it snows people are going to shovel there driveways and after that go in and have some hot cocco and there may or may not have a marshmallow in it
people are letting this 2012 get way out of hand. don't get me wrong the movie looks ok and i may go see it so i could have a movie adventure but not going to take it was real.
people who are falling for this bullshit are the same who worried about y2k and who built a bunker and robbed other people to get there stuff so they could "survive" i have the tv on and there talking about even when man started to write there has been stories about the end of the world. note STORIES works of fiction. ok ill say this if there right and its a huge if. the earth splits in two water turns to lava ill say they were right and be the first to start the lave plunge. much like the polar plunge but into lava. and you who were right could laugh your asses off. but that's highly unlikely .
that was my rant on the whole 2012 shit.. The King has spoken

Y2K on the other hand was a actually legitimate concern, it was just blown a bit out of proportion by the media (who like doing that). A lot of work went into stopping Y2K from actually becoming a significant problem on the day, and it was mostly successful, but there was actually a real, scientifically verifiable, situation that needed dealing with. Unlike 2012.
Just thought I'd add my 2c.
As for the Mayan calendar, ask some of today's people of Maya heritage. They explain it very matter-of-factly: the calendar is a cycle, a circle, with no beginning or end. Just as we roll over from December to January every year, so does their cycle as well. We don't see people freaking out that the world is going to end every 31 Dec, hell, we freaking celebrate it. This has even less legitimacy than the Y2K thing, which went over very smoothly. A few computer banks had to be patched, some people got bills dated 1900, and that was it. I can admit Y2K was a genuine issue for some people, for example banks running on old computer mainframes having never been programmed with the concept of a 4 digit year. The 2012 thing is nothing but a bunch of media hype with no backing whatsoever. We could blow up 5 seconds from now, Yellowstone could explode tomorrow, or nothing at all could happen for years and years. I think we are definitely going to blow ourselves up, it's just a matter of when, and 21 Dec 2012 is no more or less likely than any other day.
Tachyon pointed out the #1 problem with all of this: the media. Right on, buddy, right on.
