End of the world
13 years ago
So I guess I should start this off with, who believes the worlds gonna end on december 23rd, 2012 as accordance with the aztec calendar? Don't be afraid. Tell me.
After you answer lets just delve into this a bit. Sometimes its also referred mistakenly to the mayan calender with is a different can of eggs. Eggs none the less but the mayan calender ends in 20 K'inchiltun which is 63081429 solar years. Which according to current solar theory is a lot closer to the 4-5 billion years it may need. Not that close, but hey we really need to consider that these dates were made by people that were still mutilating their genitals as a part of gods will. Whoops, people of the Jewish faith are still doing that. Thats a pretty big nail in the whole god being unfallible thing. Another time though.
So, lets look at the aztec calender. Which some may know is a wheel like shape. There are around twenty full moons in a year.
Thats all I can really tell you for certain, because there is a whole bunch of misleading and simply contradictory information out there. I've seen specials on the discovery channel that state due to improper maths the calender should end in 2014. I've heard reports that that is not an ending at all and just a great change in mans will. The end of the world to incite the last sentence, which usually lets into the crazy stuff nutjobs like to spout.
The only conclusion is that I believe man seems to need to believe its dying. Like our almost subconscious fear of death is showing its ugly head. I mean they were so dissapointed when the world didn't end in y2k nuclear disaster, a new date of death had to be seeded. Mans obsession with death manifest has been going on a long time. Revalations in the bible was not the first and thats some old stuff there.
So the end of the world? If it is I'd better have all the unprotected sex my id wants. Though like most things its all based on fear. I'm a pretty fearful person by nature, but I concentrate on tangable things like heights and std's.

Personally, I think there will be some great change come the end of this year. I know there will be one for me.
What kind of change for you? If you don't mind me asking that is. PM me if ya wanna.
But I have doubts about the specific date.
Though right now I would be more worried about Mt. St. Helens since it IS flaring up again. Had a small "Eruption Event" back in 2008... It will likely have an eruption in the next 10 to 25 years but will be on a scale that is 1/8th or less of what it was the last time it blew back in the 1980s.
I was going to go into a bunch of theoretical math about volume required to cover the stratosphere and wipe us out through starvation, but then I remember the Russian stratosphere tests and we could disperse the particulates into space easy.
Yeah specific dates always do make people iffy.
The calendar everyone is referring to in North/South America is outdated... Their society ended before they could update it... Just like when you forget to take last years calendar off your wall till two years later. Try asking a Cultural Anthropology professor, History Professor, and you will get the same answer.
Plus, if they couldn't see the end of their own civilization, then what makes you think they could see the end of the world?
Though if anything... Greedy corporations and authoritarian/controlling governments will be the most likely downfall of mankind.
The Earth will endure, like it has for the last 6+ Billion years.
Though really I just have to tell these folks that all the media we enjoy today did not exist back then. Imagine all the questionably useless stuff you would accomplish if you never had a tv or the internet.
Okay, I got nothing.
