End of the world predictions are pointless

Hello,
i just wanted to express my thoughts on Predictions in regards to the END OF THE WORLD.

I find them irritating.
Thousands have been made regarding Doomsday and they are all BS, because the date comes and goes. All the dooms day fanatics seem like they have only ONE intention, and that is to SCARE people.

Why is every single prediction negative? I have yet to see ONE positive prediction!
Seriously, do people enjoy scaring and predicting mass extincion??
The world and daily lives are already filled with enough things to stress and worry about.
It makes me laugh when i read for example: End of the World Dec 21th 2012, prepare!

PREPARE??? For what? It just really is annoying.

Well, honestly, think about it man.

How can anyone make a "happy" prediction of somethin ending?? This isnt a fairy tale or movie where the characters "live happily ever after." This is THE END OF THE WORLD, maybe not the planet, but possibly the end of human existence.

I agree w/ you, there have been thousands of predictions as to when and how the world will end, with lots of the dates having come and gone. But everthing that has a beginning has an end, Neo...lol

Death is inevitable, it is the one thing that is absolute and you can count on. Food for thought, when a person dies, isnt that the end of the world for them? Who says the end of the world has to be a community thing?

LOL yeah you are right.. I am interested in finding out if science/technology can predict something as simple as the US Election results. At least we know there will be an outcome to this event, and it like a coin toss in every respect. Are computers smart enough to figure it out?

2012, End of World, etc... people cannot fathom, but technology should be able to prove itself worthy of notice.

The reason why stuff is negative, is because we live in a society of fear. We do not go around, loving everything, look at people, they are scared all there lifes.

I agree predictions about the end of the world are pointless, but negative predictions are more likely to come true than positive ones, maybe we are all pessimists.

I do not think in all my life i have made a positive prediction, except for sports. Not one positive thing that matters to my life, i like many others have always been pessimistic, and i can hardly see that changing soon. Thats one of the great things about sports, its one of the only positive things males(mostly), can cling to in life.

I seriously think that if i posted that my great great aunt had warned me about a date, and i posted this date claiming it to be the last day humans see the living daylight, that maybe not ALL but i assure you SOME will write the date down in their calendars!



They are seriously getting on my nerves

mmm...because this is ATS and we like to talk about end times? News to you? I for one am excited about the apocalypse, I have already pre-sold some t-shirts. On the front it has a picture of a four-headed dragon with Dick Cheney heads and on the back it reads "PROJECT BLUE-BEAM: GOOGLE IT!!"

Oh i see,

So people WANT the world to end? Say by an asteroid? Or a supernova? Or reptilians? Or blackholes?

Interesting.

Threads that are created to say "predictions are pointless" are pointless themselves. Also there are many threads that already exist discussing this same topic. No offense to anyone.

i guess as 'pointless'as your post

Yes, of course because I posted in a pointless thread. Just expressing my opinion. Hope I didn't offend you.

Why a 4 headed dragon? And why blue beam? Are you buying into some conspiracy or what? Why not bet on the Lion or the Bear? At least we know Lions/Bears are real. Dragons are a myth right?

I'm sorry but threads like this are pointless. This is conspiracy themed website, which means you are going to get "End Of The World" threads. The only way not to be annoyed by them is to A: Don't click on the thread link or B: Don't visit ATS anymore.

These type of threads won't perish no matter how pointless they may be. Matter of fact threads like these may only contribute to more annoying threads popping just to grab your attention. Take my advice and they will no longer bother you...

Are you serious??

I did not mention the Cheney-Dragon is over 100 feet tall, and is virtually impervious to all forms of conventional injury. In fact, one head pukes molten lava, one breathes arctic blast, one shoots laser beams from its eyes, and the other one just says "meh!"

What a bloody mess it will be when it is unleashed on American cities....

Wow.. You need to get an artist to render that and patent that idea. Hey if you can think of it, I am sure they can build it. If you patent the blue beam 4 headed dragon... you would be one up on them.

Oh no, there goes Toledo. Go, Go Dickzilla.

You know Plucky, I would ask you to marry me but I feel you would just turn me down. Of course thinking that you just didn't find me worthy enough I would go overthrow some random nearby world superpower you know to prove my conviction an resovle. Aftwards I would return only to hear you say "Thanks, but I turned you down because the age difference kinda wierded me out a bit." Then we would just stand there and have a chuckle for a second over my mistake.

Let's just say that GOD really does exist. What if he gave us all the abilty to manifest whatever life we desire, (Humanities collective consciousness) here right now on this planet. So why is it that religious and non religious people are literally willing the destruction of this planet, just to fulfill some prophecy that will apparently bring them eternal peace and tranquility, or simply because they are sick of the way things are and destruction will hopefully bring about a better world, at least for those who survive. Are they being deceived, or are they simply mad and naive. It's probably a combination of all three. If humanity doesn't wake up and drop this negative self destructive crap, then it's safe to say, you'll be burning in an eternal hell and it'll be all your own doing.

Quite alot of these websites, religions, and ideologies are being used by elitists to change the collective consciousness of humanity to suit their own needs and bring about their own sick and twisted agenda. The solution is simple, stop buying into the fear and instead be positive and think and believe in a better world for all. The day when all human beings subscribe to fear and hopelessness, is the day when that spark that calls itself humanity goes out!!!!! Even if I'm wrong about the evil elitists, at least the world will still be better if everyone thinks positive.
