Fair enough but name one year when they happened all in the very same year!?

Once the 2012 dates passes and nothing happens, people will become a little more at ease and understand life is just what it is, life!

I really don't see that big of a change coming. Sure maybe a few more natural disasters, and maybe an economic collapse. But I don't think it will be the end of society.

I'm 100 % sure that the earth's crust is going to melt by the hot molten lava when the magma explodes soon.

Name one year in history without storms.
Name one year in history without a war.

Name one year in history without diseases.
Name one year in history when the poor got richer.
Name one year in history when the rich were not in a position of power.
This is called life on Earth. Get used to it.
It may be blunt but it’s accurate.

20 years in one country?
Are you saying we had no hurricanes hit US territory in 20 years?
Here is a list of just US wars from 1775 to 1800.
1775–1783 – American Revolutionary War That’s a big one!
1776–1777 – Second Cherokee War
1776–1794 – Chickamauga Wars
1785–1795 – Northwest Indian War
1786–1787 – Shays' Rebellion
1794 – Whiskey Rebellion
1798–1800 A navel war with France.
The point is there’s always a war somewhere because we are human, that’s what we do.
There’s always a natural disaster somewhere.
Life on Earth is not a bed of roses.
You're in blatant denial if you think the current situation of the world is not unique in comparison to the problems of the past.

99.99% that it will be business as usual. I haven't seen anything happen this year so far that hasn't happened at some point in my life so far. Only the names and places change.
And I think if most of you really believed that society was going to crumble that you'd be out there living/partying doing whatever you want, not posting on ATS

Ask you grandparents about the great depression. Where you couldn’t afford to buy some of the most basic items for daily life. My mother had to drop out of 8th grade to help support her 5 younger brothers and sisters and widowed mother. There were no government checks to help tide things over.
Are things that bad now?
Ask your grandparents about the war following the depression. Where you couldn’t even buy tires for your car if you had one. If you wanted meat from the store you had better have coupons in your ration book. If father went off to war you might get a letter every couple of months never mind Skype twice a week. And if the worst happened you got a letter and maybe a hand shake. You could forget the body.

Read your history books about the middle ages when summer never came. Years of cold rainy dark days. You lived (if you called it that) on someone else’s land. You couldn’t own land! Never mind a government appeal process to keep a house you knew you could never afford when you bought it. If you wanted a change in the leaders at the top you didn’t get a ballot in November you got the cold edge of a blade. You think the medical system is bad now you try the men wearing bird masks with beaks to treat your plague. The proper method of sewage treatment was throwing it out the window.

Grow up people we live in some of the best times in mankind’s history. You go to bed at night knowing you will wake up warm and safe.
It’s only those keyboard warriors that feel the world is going to end in a few months. You know the ones where their brothers are in the next room playing Xbox and their parents are down the hall watching cable on their plasma tv.
