Population,
Latest official current world population estimate, for mid-year 2011, is estimated at 7,021,836,029.

The majority are dependent, if there were to be a mass extinction event, even peppers wont make it.

Never before in the history of this planet have the nations been so unstable.

Never before has this planet been so polluted.
Oceans Are Dying, the rivers are polluted.
Deforestation
Mass extinction of species,

The stage is set for the perfect storm.

But I know how the story ends.

edit on 073131p://bSunday2012 by Stormdancer777 because: (no reason given)

When people and governments let things get out of hand because of indifference, lack of leadership, interest only in money, various other minor distractions.......isn't this exactly what happens?

We have ourselves to blame. Well technically not me because I do all I can to make a difference in this rat race world, not that I am perfect either. Everyone makes mistakes occasionally. It is the frequent intentional ones that are unforgivable.

Wow alot of opinions here.

Yes there alot of doom predictors that were very wrong.

Let me throw 3 lines of thought out here and see where it leads.

What if the doomsday and apocalypes failures were not caused by being wrong, but being prevented by either others, planing and blind luck be it overt or covert?

Then people/press/history mock the doomsayers.

Let me give three examples explaining this.

One of the most famous one is the Y2K.

Now alot predicted gloom, doom, end of humanity, ect.
Well nothing happened major and everyone reported it was all hype.

Now I looked into it and was saw that for it being "hype" why did government/industry/military/ect spend MILLIONS OF MAN HOURS and untold billions of dollars for programmers to fix a "hyped up problem"?

Is it possible we saw/predicted doomsday but due to the efforts of planning it was not hype but we averted it?

The second is the predicted astroid hits that gloom and doom predict but seem to miss us?

Now scientist claims the odds are XX millions to one. But then if you do some research the same scientists predict xx named rock (sorry I don't remember the name) that if it its just right the "keyhole" in space that it will change the course to a direct hit. But we don't know EXACTLY how this keyhole works or even will know it did till the time to stop it is too short?

Is this an example of not hype but a predicted doomsday that averted or caused by no control of our own?

Third and most scary is the report in russia of "dead hand" system incident (note this was not the only one by far)

www.wired.com...


It was predicted for years of nuclear doomsday and one person not only prevented it, but it was covered up for years.

Second line of thought is why does it have to be all distruction or all "hype"?

What if a prediction came partly true but no one in press/power want to give any credit to the whistleblower (as it were)?


The third what if some part or all of a prediction has come to pass but the powers that be cover it up?

Just throwing some ideas out there/

A point of fact....using the word Apocolypse in its real context does not mean the end of the world, truth be told the meaning of the word denotes Un-covering its true meaning... not the later hi-jacked word used in Religion..

S&F! Nice list, too; many cases I didn't know about! Interesting reading. I think you are right, and that there will be people panicking, and doing stupid things on or just before that date. We saw people acting foolishly just before 2000, and more recently, before that one old fellow made "end of the world" predictions. Selling their possessions, etc. I would not be surprised, either, to see suicide cults, and so forth, using this as a catalyst. People are always certain (as a group) to do something totally nuts. Well, not me. Planning Christmas, buying gifts, etc.

Reminds me somehow of the "Claimant of Buddhahood" list on wiki.

2012 isnt going to fail..

There is too much in cultures, traditions and dare i say religion speaking of a day to come.

Since 12 has been a motif, and we are in 2012 i tend to think this is the date that will be.

If you look at all those failed predictions including Y2K, non of them had a rich background as to why things would occur, unlike 2012.

I'm not trying to have a go at you slayer, this is the internet, and i like your avatars.

What are your predictions for the big date in a few weeks time? I find this all very fascinating.

I remember back in 1999 when everyone thought the end of the world was going to happen in 2000. As far as I can tell, I'm still here. I've also noticed that there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on exactly how the world is going to end. All that aside, our sun is growing and I think in a few billion years or so it will have become large enough to suck the earth into it. There are also any number of space rocks large enough to wipe out all life on earth should they collide with the ground and then there is the possibility that we will just take care of the issue ourselves simply by launching nuclear weapons. From my understanding, most of all these "dire" predictions are because the Mayan calendar has suddenly stopped. While I'm not well versed in the whole Mayan issue, it's my understanding that they were exceptional at predicting celestial events and for some reason they were unable to predict anything beyond Dec. 21st. As far as I know, none of our telescopes have detected any large space rocks heading to earth or have we found that the sun has suddenly grown exponentially and is sucking the earth into it's grasp. Now in the more UFO/Paranormal areas, there has been talk of a hidden planet orbiting the sun that will cause a pole shift that will destabilize the earth's crust and then a bunch of ET's will come to:
A. Take all those who have requested or willing off the planet.
B. Reduce the severity of the pole shift.
In either instance, it's not the actual end of the world just a cataclysm that's likely to wipe out most of the life on the planet.
If I were the paranoid believer, I would have a UFO landing pad in my backyard and a space-rocket prepared and ready to land me on the moon. However, I'm simply going to be doing the normal things like investing in kool-aid and sleeping pill markets and then on the 22nd I'll be hanging out with my friends at the globalradioalliance.com for the "we are still here" party. (sorry, shameless plug there. *grin*)
If this has gotten off topic or a bit chaotic, blame my ADD or unlucky goats. *shrug*

People can appear to have everything you describe, yet they have no inner peace. Chained to the mundane, bound by debt for material things, they are sad and lost. What better way to escape? It leaves them without the burden of responsibility.

I agree with you on this at the same time I also feel its the lack of activity and too much time on hand with many individuals in general that breeds the social/media/political fear m ongers who generally capitalize on the weak minds In addition, the animal/mammalian instincts to kill and destroy the competition are not completely erased in the hompsapiens
