P.S. don't be jerks and say something stupid. You are all intelligent people and I really am looking for some meaningful feedback. Thanks

Simply don't worry about it, nothing is probably going to happen, and if it does, so what? What is worrying going to do? Enjoy your life while you can, you could die tomorrow in a car accident, more likley than this end of the world stuff.

Have a nice day.

I agree with _Phoenix_.

The only thing you should be concerned with is living life to the fullest. If there is any truth to all this 2012 stuff, and I doubt it, there is nothing anyone can do about it. If there isn't any truth to it there is nothing to worry about.

All of this 2012 stuff is speculation anyways, because NOBODY REALLY KNOWS.

Ok, these topics are a bit scary since I haven't a clue for what to believe but my friends and I have decided that if we found out that a Meteor was about to hit our beloved planet Earth we would put ourselves to sleep just before the actual impact (you know, like what some vets do to dogs, cats and other animals) so we wouldn't have to witness the destruction of what we hold most dear. I just hope we get to find out so we can prepare for it and I'm sure many other people feel the same way. Why should the Government ignore people's wishes thinking the knowledge will cause widespread panic when it just might be best if everyone knew? The knowledge would give people time to prepare and spend their last times on Earth having fun and enjoying life rather than screwing up their planet as much as they can..........I hope our dear planet Earth survives the coming storms and that if we are forced to surrender our planet to the forces of nature, we won't have to endure the physical and mental pain of losing our one common home.

I read somewhere that if the powers that be recognised that an asteroid or other body looked like it could possibley strike the earth then we as the public are not to be told about it until the object had safely passed. I read there was actually a law passed about this kind of disclosure. Im not sure how much truth there is in that though.

The asteroid that will come very close in 2029 will be on Friday the 13th of April. Freaky huh? It's also nicknamed "Apophis", which is the Egyptian god of evil and destruction.

Hmm, do those astronomers that named it know something that we don't?

On the plus side 1500 megatons of energy released on the middle east from it could be a good thing!

Such a world stopping meteor would only have to be about 6 miles wide to wipe off most of the life on the planet. Last year one large meteor was discovered, by luck, within only a few months of the "close call" it would pass near earth closer then the moon is to the earth.

So the truly painful, but truthful answer is that we might never see such a meteor until a couple of days to a couple of months before such an inpact. Chances are also good, but far less likely, that we might never see it.

People like to think someone somewhere is aware of all N.E.O (Near Earth Objects), but that person doesn't exist.

Sure we "see" comets, because they reflect and throw off ice and have tails, but such things as meteors don't have to be seen until they are already falling to our planet.

That's how I understand it anyway.

I watched the bible decoding show on the history channel last night and it says that the 911 events were found and that another prediction is that the earth will be totally destroyed in 2012 by a meteor.

This is the very reason why people are being killed. They believe the Bible is a book of predicitons. IT IS NOT! The Bible is NOT a crystal ball people, it is not a fortune teller....

Don't believe anything you watch on the history (his story) channel.

This is particularly scary since the Mayan calendar says that time will stop on Dec. 21, 2012.

The Mayan calender does not say "time will stop". The Mayan calender just ends on that date, because on that date is a winter solstice!

ok im a 13 year old kid so im not that smart but if u think about it why you going to ruin life thinking that were going to die cause belive it or not they made technology that will push the asteroid from hitting earth it a a booster that collect solar energy from the sun .;. therefore we have surived ^-^

hi guyz!
well i think that this meteor 2012 business is a serious issue and should be given attention by each and every citizen of earth.
Frankly, i believe that god is testing the willpower and endurance of mankind . God wants us to ourselves decide our destiny and also that mankind forgets all the boundries dividing countries and unites to face off such disasters with ease.
even if this happens [which should not ] then wats the mater ?
follow the following motto and be fearless :-

LIVE LIFE KING SIZE , LIKE A KING !!!!!!!
SO ENJOY EVERYBODY AND KEEP WATCHING THE OLYMPICS!!!!!
BYE,
