Here is my prediction for 2012. In astronomical events, the earth will be in direct line with the galatic core.
Beyond that life as usuall, some will like the US, good chance that there will be the same groups that hate the US.
Won't do any bets.

I beleive in the power of thought.....

Sorry for the one liner...

I'll take your bet, and your money, cause there won't be anyone to pay off in 2013. You make the contract, I'll sign it with my attorney present, and you send me $50,000.00, or as much as you are willing to lose.
I'm serious, send mre a personal message. I never turn down a sucker's money.
Believe that.
Let's see if your pocket is as big as your mouth is.

Ok, here's my question about all of this; cause I find it really interesting. Now, I'm not brave enough (or maybe smart enough) to take part in the bet cause I have no idea how I feel about 2012. But, for those who are so extremely sure something is going to happen... (which btw, takes massive guts to follow through with the bet. That's awesome.) What if you are wrong and lose the bet? You would have spent all of the money; right? Cause you want to enjoy it before 2012... So, if you were wrong; how would you honestly pay it back? And even if no one actually bets.. (which I agree. I see that the believers are willing to bet; but the skeptics aren't.) but, if no one bets AND if nothing were to happen; what would you do afterwards? Just say, "Just kidding. I was just messin around." Or would you do something like say, "I honestly thought something was going to happen and it didn't. *Shrug*"

At the same time, for all the skeptics; if you were so sure that nothing was going to happen; why haven't you accepted the challenges? There was a slight debate but when it came down to it; this thread kinda died. So, I dunno. I just was curious. I'm not trying to provoke, just curious what's going through people's minds.

Although the monkey attitude of beating your chest and screaming, "Bring it on!" Isn't exactly what I'd consider noble mannerisms. But, what do I know? I'm just a lurker.

My bet is a polar shift. massive flooding, Earthquakes, Volcanoes. Not death to all, but up to a 30 degree shift of the poles. Not a complete earth flip, but a shift from the current positions.
