Oh hang on a sec didn't we say all this back in 1999?
2000 = we're doomed
Scuse me while I run around in circle waving my hands in the air shouting , " God help us , we're DOOOOMED"..
Hang on a second before I run out of breath, we always have something on the doom and gloom horizon, either its war, climate change, a president falling over his chair and his finger hitting the big red nuke button..
It doesn't matter if we have a paradigm shift ( whatever that is) , a revolution against the tyrannical governments or NWO that are running our lives, the world will still turn ( unless a huge comet SMASHES into the Earth and it shatters us all into molecules in which case - we're doomed)
Not one to put a too finer point on the matter but just for all your information whether you have an opinion on how the world will end or when it will end here's a little spouted fact for your delectation ....
WE'RE ALL DOOMED...
From the moment we're born we're dying and doomed to die when our bodies can't support our souls anymore...
right back to running around in a circle
We're DOOOMED

I would like to clear something up regarding the y2k issue and the 2012. The y2k scare had nothing to do with galactic alignments, solar flares, the mayan prophecies etc. Y2k was about a computer flaw.

Thanks for clearing that up but the "bug" was only one of many predictions of doom (and other stuff) for the year 2000, attributed to Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, Jeanne Dixon, and a handful (or two) of others.
*Computer bug
*Rapture
*Pole shift
*Planetary Havoc
*The Tribulation
*The Second Coming
*The End of the World
*Presidential Death Cycle
*Stock Market Reset
*Change in Power
*The Aliens Are Coming

As I understand it there really is no Mayan prediction other than some nebulous change occurring. As to why their calendar "ends" (a bit of a controversy about that), this thread presents a very credible theory about a significant (to the Maya), strictly astronomical, event which may be occurring on that date, an event that would make a good "stopping point" (and restarting point) for a calendar.

The sacred Aztec calendar is properly called the Eagle Bowl. It represents the solar deity Tonatiuh. The amazingly accurate calendar has been in use in various forms for more than 2,000 years. A Zapotec prophecy, based on the Eagle Bowl, states:
"After Thirteen Heavens of Decreasing Choice, and Nine Hells of Increasing Doom, the Tree of Life shall blossom with a fruit never before known in the creation, and that fruit shall be the New Spirit of Men."
The 13 Heavens and 9 Hells were each 52 years long (1,144 years total). Each of the 9 Hells were to be worse than the last. On the final day of the last Hell (August 17, 1987), Tezcatlipoca, god of death, would remove his mask of jade to reveal himself as Quetzelcoatl, god of peace.
In the mythology of the Aztec, the first age of mankind ended with the animals devouring humans. The second age was finished by wind, the third by fire, and the fourth by water. The present fifth epoch is called Nahui-Olin (Sun of Earthquake), which began in 3113 BC and will end on December 24, 2011. It will be the last destruction of human existence on Earth. The date coincides closely with that determined by the brothers McKenna in The Invisible Landscape as “the end of history” indicated by their computer analysis of the ancient Chinese oracle-calendar, the I Ching.
The Mayan calendar is divided into Seven Ages of Man. The fourth epoch ended in August 1987. The Mayan calendar comes to an end on Sunday, December 23, 2012. Only a few people will survive the catastrophe that ensues. In the fifth age, humanity will realize its spiritual destiny. In the sixth age, we will realize God within ourselves, and in the seventh age we will become so spiritual that we will be telepathic
You need to brush up on your history. The Mayan civilization (and their calendar) preceded the Aztec empire by more than one thousand years.

A full year before the big deal in 2012? Somebody needs to reset their clock.
