Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Mine too, actually.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

I can't believe we only have one more day.

I haven't seen you in a while.

I've been busy preparing.


He definitely isn't an alt or anything.
They're the same guy.

So on that day we are sure not to get threads from you?

No. Me and my friends are going to the rural areas of our state.


Won't you be dead since the world is gonna end and all?

We'll we're traveling in the morning, so unless it starts early I guess not. Basically just moving away from the chaos.


You're not special. World ends you go with it.

I love you

I'm disappointed in myself for helping Rose get another hot topic :/

I feel sorry for him though, in a weird way.

Please do not send me group invites.

Someone explain to me why this time is the real thing, but the others weren't.

  • 12.19.2012 10:05 PM PDT

Not surprised. This Friday things are going to get so out of control. No one on this forum has ANY idea of what the apocalypse will really be like once it is upon us.

I'm pretty sure the Mayans said that it was just a beginning of a new calender. Where are people getting this end of the world story anyway?

It's an astronomical thing. Also, have you noticed what's been going on the entire year? It's going to climax.
I'm going to climax.

You realize that the world has to end some time.
That doesn't explain why this one is right and not the 2129 date.

Talking about Sweden is an ultrabannable offense.

If something on this scale is imminent, it would've happened before in the last 5 billion years.

And yet the planet still has an atmosphere.

Any sort of solar flare would only disrupt electronics and would not affect people. And turning off all the electronics in the world does not mean its end.

Anything important to society is EMP shielded anyway. EMP was one of the many side-effects of a nuclear war, and how long did we face one of those in our history? Everything important in military is EMP shielded, same with government.

And how do you know it hasn't happened in the last 5 billion years? Just because Earth has an atmosphere doesn't mean it didn't happen, which isn't really relevant.
A solar flare on the level that it would directly affect humans with radiation would first have to strip away the magnetic field of the earth and the atmosphere to do so.

Earth still has an atmosphere and a magnetic field.

An ancient civilisation with not even half the scientific equipment we have today could not have predicted a solar flare in 2000 years. They couldn't even look directly at the sun! How do you expect them to observe it and predict its solar patterns and behavior?

Again, not the point.

The mayans predicted nothing, and it was a misconception



The Mayans have knowledge of the stars that you couldn't even begin to comprehend. They could essentially determine the future because of their understanding of astronomy.

Please, go on...

Explain how their understanding of astronomy [before telescopes, even] could lead them to conclude the date on which the world ends.

Please, share with the rest of the class.

The mass earthquakes, hurricanes, thousands of animals randomly dying, rise in solar flare activity, etc.


In other words, nothing new.

So Mayans can look directly at the sun now?

So a bunch of ancient people, who couldn't even invent the wheel, are smarter than NASA?

Also, they've found other calendars that go past 2012, or end before it.

I encourage you to do your own research and find out the truth on your own initiative. But when you come back don't be surprised if I say "I told you so"
