Shootings, bombings, disease, inflation, war, famine, police brutality, constitutional corruption, spiritual corrosion, the list goes on and on.

If you don't understand that, then maybe we should be shooting you into space instead of those monkeys. We sure don't need you here.

Thank you, my friend, for insight into something I was not previously aware of.
To verify my understanding, you are saying that nothing did indeed happen because a happening could be said to be a psychological illusion due to lack of physical evidence?

Forget 2012. Forget the Mayans. Forget the end of the world. None of that has any meaning here. You think nothing happened over the course of 2012? Have you been on some other planet? Shootings, bombings, disease, inflation, war, famine, police brutality, constitutional corruption, spiritual corrosion, the list goes on and on.
Yet another straw man argument of no importance to the discussions of 2012.
I'm placing the blame on all of humanity because we are the ones making a difference for this stupid rock floating in space. It's up to us to decide what kind of difference we make. If you don't understand that, then maybe we should be shooting you into space instead of those monkeys. We sure don't need you here.
And what did you do in 2012 to make the world a better place? What did you do for your community?
Ejecting people from the planet sounds like another anger issue. Seeing a clear pattern here.
Where is the 2012 connection?
So far people have simply distanced themselves from 2012 and are discussing issues that occurred in 2012 that are unrelated to any of the nonsense claims made about 2012.
That clearly suggests to me that the 2012 believers know that they were wrong - they just can't admit it.
The title of the thread asks, "Will You Admit You Were Wrong?"
The clear answer is no.

Well, I was gonna suggest that aliens swapped our sun with an imposter when our backs were turned but I guess we could roll with that one.
Lol, how convenient! The climate is also changing all the time, it takes a long time. The world is orbiting the sun, it takes time. I am writing this text, it takes time. Democracy takes time.
Being that we are in the space-time continum. Time is part of our being in the world, regardless of what pseudo-scientists and false mystics say. Even the "ancients" regarded it as holy.
By the way, what did you think about my explanation on why the earth survived the auspicious date?

It's all of our faults that the world isn't changing like it should.

I was pointing out that the "long process" or "long time" excuse for the 2012 debacle does not work as it can be applied anywhere.
2012ers waited for an apocolypse, a revealation. All have this in common: an outside agency of magical proportions setting things right according to their view.
You said we should change it. We (not astral elders, messiahs, feathered serpents) should change it. I agree, the date means nothing, nothing either. Western society, as horribly faulted as it is in some respects, is moving humanity forward, based on centuries of people not waiting for someone to descend from the heavens: from the Lollards to the Wall St. protests of last year (even the Tea Party) humanity has been fighting fiercely. Sometimes we've gotten it right (1776) sometimes wrong (1848). Yet, websites like this are proof of the expansion of the human spirit thanks to humanity.
My point here is to say that nothing happened because you didn't make it happen.
Why didn't 2012 happen? Why did it have to be 2012? Why not 2010, 2009, 2000? Don't put so much importance on the year, because it ISN'T the year. It's YOU.

Why? Why do they need to admit it? They KNOW they were wrong. Why do you need to rub their nose in it? What's the point disappointing them further? There's no argument to be made. None at all. You win. You want us to polish your trophy for you? I have better things to do than that, like figuring out how to survive another year on this planet. I'd suggest you do the same.
The clear answer is, "It's the end of an era, not the end of the world. The era was ending before 2012. It's just taking a very long time."
