If my missus doesn't like the Christmas present I've got her, my world will end on the 25th..... With a swift knee to the danglers no doubt!
Seriously tho, I couldn't think of a better way to go than being hit on the head by an asteroid. Wonder what 'injury lawyers 4u' would make of that.
I'm actually amazed people believe this and have rushed out to buy 10 years worth of baked beams and marmalade to put in their shiny new doomsday pods. Mental!

Plenty of nuclear bunkers from the cold war years are still functional. If you have an undertanding of those years it's actually quite surprising we don't live in a "Fallout" type world. Richard feynman was amazed infact.
But it's classic fearmongering this mayan crap. like global warming and y2k.
I'm off to lace up my high tops now and bunk down for the glorious alien contact.

And that's the tragedy of this bunk. The huge number of fools and charlatans who propagate this rubbish do real harm to those few they manage to truly delude. I find it reprehensible.

Guitarpima: There are lots of Mayans, something like six or seven million. They're a huge slice of the central American population. The languages are still spoken.
I realize that but the civilization they created did end at some point. Probably due to the same reason all civilizations end. Our's is next. Humans always destroy what they have never realizing how important it is. A shame that after over 5000 years of destruction, we still can't figure it out.

I forget which race it was - it might have been the Mayans, but there was definitely one of the old Central/South American races whose disappearance has been solved by modern scientists.
It appears that they poisoned their only source of fresh water (a HUGE natural well) by dumping the bodies of their dead into it

Yeah, there are two broad eras to Mayan civilisation, the first being fairly sophisticated and urbanised, with fairly grand cities, and then a later less prosperous one after the cities were largely abandoned. I'm no expert, but I gather the leading theory to how this happened was a massive drought, probably caused by massive deforestation during their semi-industrial peak. I've not heard of that poisoning theory, but I know there are various theories doing the rounds.

What I was getting at is why every great cililiation has failed in the past. The concentration of wealth to the few who steer it that way via corruption has always been the downfall of any civilization.
It will happen again. With an economy based on war, it is inevitable. It has haapened before and it will happen again.

Dont worry. The mayans just ran out of ink (or their pencil was broken).
Or the reviews were bad for the calender they made.

The Mayans did not say the world was going to end people. It is simply an end of an era, and a beginning of a Golden Age according to them.
SHEEESSSHHH --- the only fear mongering going on is coming from people that twisted the Mayan prophecies to add to their endless religious old world mind control methods.
Part of the "awakening" is probably people loosing the ridiculous guilt and fear that has been used to control them for thousands of years, and we can thank the internet for a big part of this "awakening".

Even that "end of an era" thing is overstating the case. It's just a cycle in the counting system. There's no evidence it had any particular significance to the Mayans. It's just that their counting system was (more or less) base 20, and the 21st is when the next lot of 20 sub-units starts. It's literally just one column going back to zero, and another column going up by one.

The "era" is nothing more than the Earth's revolving around our sun as our star system revolves around the galaxy. Every 26.000 years we come to a point where there's some galactic alignment. We are about to come to it again. It's also interesting that whoever built Stonehenge were as adept at how stargazing, as the pyramids in Egypt and other sites around the world.

Why are people buying supplies if the world is coming to an end?
That makes perfect sense. However, they will never again be able to spend money, so let them have that last liberating feeling of blowing their hard earned cash on frivolous things that won't last or do them any good! Spend your money more wisely and build a fire with it so you can at least be warm for a few seconds... money burns fast. .

Dear Just Sayin, Some of us are dead set (get it) on the world ending (at least ours anyway) and no one's gonna ruin our pent up anticipation, perspiration, or participation in this once-in-a-lifetime event with half contrived conspiracy theories like it's all a hoax... or something like that.  And BTW, I haven't been controlled for 1000s of years. Just half a century. Which, of course, makes my age Golden.  Anyway, which was supposed to happen first? The world ending or the sun burning out. Or does that all happen with a big bang at the same time? Either way I just hope I'm awake so I can watch.

"Galactic alignment" is a seriously meaningless term. But even if it wasn't, it has absolutely nothing to do with the Mayan calendar, which by the way didn't even operate on what we'd now consider a yearly cycle, but rather a 9-ish month cycle.

Also, the Mayans didn't have any concept of anything of the scale or nature of a galaxy. It was a very remarkable civilisation, but it was over and done with a long-ass time before anyone realised the sun didn't go round the earth.

This stuff is basically much more recent astrology. And even if we put aside that astrology is absolute guff for a moment, it doesn't take that much scepticism to note that there's an almost desperate mashing together of entirely unrelated ways of thinking about things, from different eras of history, to try to make all this 2012 stuff work.
