Today is December 21, 2011. As most everyone knows by now, the world is scheduled to end one year from today according to the Mayan calender.
According to people who are crazy. The Mayan calender says nothing of the sort.
Curious. Why would it end on 2012 and not 2013 or even 4013? Did they run out of time before they disappeared or did the guy making the calendar, croak.
I'll be spending my next year working and making money. Too bad I won't get to ever spend it. I like how everyone thought all electronics were going to be down in the new millenium when 2000 hit. Everyone freaked out or something. Still lol at that.
having read a few books that "tried" covering 2012 and its mayan tag, all I can do is consider possibilities.
if the world changes for the better, great. if some "cloud" embraces the earth, I'd wonder what it brought with it(mutation?)
beyond that I can't say I care enough at this point since the leaders of the world are total and official wack jobs, and as 1 person there is jack squat I can really do to redirect the decisive direction any country *COUGH*iran*COUGH* is headed. all that said I'm an open mind, so the best and truest policy is to take things 1 day at a time, and keep some resources on hand if shit does hit the fan.

Well a calendar has to end some time... i mean you can't make an infinitely long calendar. There is always a time where the guy says "well this is long enough".
But my main issue would be , what technology did the mayans have that we don't to predict the end of the world? We most certainly exceed on every aspect technology wise, if they managed to find it out we surely should have as well. And unless the people who believe in the end of the world believe in a giant conspiracy where all the governments are hiding that info from us there is no reason to believe in the end of the world.

Wrong!
One day our Sun will become a red giant and that is when the end of the world will be. The Sun only has enough fuel for another 5 billion years.

Ok, so I finally did some research into the Mayan Calendar so I would know exactly what all the hub bub is about. It turns out the Mayans had one of the most complex calendars of any civilization. They had two different annual calendars, a 260-day count known as the Tzolkin and a 365-day vague solar year known as the Haab. After 52 Haabs, the two calendars would syncronize to form the Calendar Round.
Of course, none of that is really relevent to the 2012 date because those deal with relatively short periods of time. The 2012 date has to do with the entire period of time known as the Long Count. According to Mayan creation lore, the earth "re-cycles" itself every 144,000 days in a period known as a baktun. There has been 12 completed baktuns already and the earth is in the midst of the 13th baktun. The 13th baktun is scheduled to end on Dec. 21, 2012 when the world will re-cycle again. What that means, no one knows I guess, but many have taken it to mean the end of the world as we know it. I guess we'll find out.
It would be awesome if the world came to an end with the moon slowly closing in and crashing into the planet with a nice evil face on itself, just to make it that much more awesome.

I know. The Mayan calender simply comes to an end on that date. The Mayans never said that means the end of the world. It's just that peoples' imaginations have led to that conclusion more than any other. My personal opinion is that the Mayan scribe simply got tired of recording the days of the calender that far out in advance and just quit. He probably said, "Look, I've written this thing out a thousand years into the future, everyone around today will be dead by then, that's it. I'm stopping right here." But let's face it, it sure has made for an exciting doomsday scenario.
Edit: Oh, also it is kind of interesting that they did arrive at a date when humans could potentially kill themselves off and at a time when a lot of freaky stuff is happening.
See this the kind of stuff I fear about 2012! I fear the crazy nut cases that believe this crap will do crazy crap to harm people. History has shown that their were groups who believed the end of the world was near, and caused mass harm because of that!!!! What will we do about this this year?

Well if the shit happen before, yet the world is still here, where did people get this idea that it means the world would end?

Pfffff 5 billion? if we an't off this rock by then we never will be.
But back on toppic... If the mayans (sp?) could really see into the future and see that the world would end that day, why couldn't they see into the future and see that they would all die off? ....Seems like they could have done somethign to prevent that.

Maybe when it goes to re-cycle the trash dude gets it confuzed and just take the whole thing to the dump?

The Mayans could not "see into the future." They made a big calendar that ends and starts over on 21 December, 2012. That's it.
The Mayans measured time in repeating cycles, just like us. Their calendar is cycled through just like ours. The main difference is that our calendar is much smaller and is recycled much more frequently compared to theirs.
The Mayans used a bigger, more accurate calendar that starts over in 2012; and, without any more evidence, people erroraneously correlate that to the end of the world. You people are crazy. No wonder stupid shows full of pseudoscience and pseudohistory do so well on network television.

Now when you say "you people", who are you referring to? I don't know if I've seen anyone on here who is taking this seriously, just people who are having a little fun with it.
Also, you don't have it quite right. You are saying that Mayan calendar recycles, only over a longer period of time than our calendar. According to the baktun, it's the earth that's supposed to recycle on December 21st. That's a bit more significant. It's just that we don't know exactly what that means and so, some are taking it to mean the end of the world.
The planet is fine. The planet will endure anything. The planet will endure plastic, the planet will endure having its oceans sucked dry, the planet will endure the emptying of its unearthed resources, the planet will endure meteors striking it, earthquakes, volcanos erupting, tornados, hurricanes, etc. It's the people that are in trouble.
I think that much like any Doomsday theory, 2012 is BS. NASA hasn't found anything scientific that could connect 2012 to a worldwide disaster. We still don't have solid proof that Gods exist. We still don't have solid proof of anything supernatural existing on Earth. It's illogical to follow a theory that cannot be proven true.

The 2011 calender ends on December 31st, so the world is ending in two days.
