Do you believe in 2012?
For some reason I think there may have been a thread about this but I'm too lazy to look.
Does anyone believe in this nonsense?
Personally I think a year between 2040-2050 is more likely. That's when the world's population will be ballooning out of control and water shortages
and famine will be much worse than it is now, especially in the mideast, Africa, India, etc. Then a WWIII will ensue and the entire planet will be
bombed to hell.

From wiki:
December 21, 2012— The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, notably used by the Maya civilization among others of pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, completes
its thirteenth b'ak'tun cycle since the calendar's mythical starting point (equivalent to August 11, 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar,
according to the "GMT-correlation" JDN= 584283).[6] The Long Count b'ak'tun date of this starting point (13.0.0.0.0) is repeated, for the first time
in a span of approximately 5,125 solar years. The significance of this period-ending to the pre-Columbian Maya themselves is unclear, and there is an
incomplete inscription (Tortuguero Monument 6) that records this date. It is also to be found carved on the walls of the Temple of Inscriptions in
Palenque, where it functions as a base date from which other dates are computed.[7]
"2012 is claimed by some to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or apocalypse). This claim is based on Christian text, Mayan civilization or
some other source. However, there is no agreement whether in 2012 there will be the end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher
level, or a new human species will evolve, or some other major catastrophe will occur.
Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by
the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order."

I'm not sure. Perhaps the beginnings of the collapse of the current world order begin and a period of serious tribulations kicks off. A new dark age
perhaps. Like I said in the other thread, won't be long and Rome WILL burn along with the rest of the world that's be readily absorbed into the
conventional Western industrial approach to the world. Changes are in the wind, and the real question isn't who is going to lead us... but will we
even survive individually to see the dawn of a new age? One, God willing, filled with justice.

WHat I want to know is what is the exuse for Y2K and other predictions to be false? What are people supposed to assume about any future things? It's
BS.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Y2K was a computer scare, not really a future prediction.

Thinking of the future dilutes the joy of living in the present.

Ah, in a way it was a future prediction because you had a lot of idiots believing that there would be chaos so the media created a "frenzy", resulting
in people running out to buy bottled water and non-perishable goods. That was of course nothing more than the US's way to recoup the billions of
dollars that they paid to correct a problem that was created because of lazy programming.
Also, didn't Nostradamus also "predict" the end of the world in 2000? Well, at least that's the way the evanegelicals interpreted it, of course for
to bolster their flock.
And right now a lot of doomsday predictors are just saying something crazy will happen, they don't know though (of course not).
Lastly, I couldn't agree more ShootingCars.
