    We're fcuked. We're too arrogant to realise that while we are the most intelligent life form that is no reason to believe that we are the most resilient. Life will survive long after we're gone and personally I think it's already too late. Nature gave us every chance to regulate our own population and we didsn't listen. We're a cancer and nature will heal itself as it has always done. Where there is no life there is no God.

    I predict that by 2012 your glue sniffing habit may have gotten the better of you :p

    Actually as far as intelligent life forms go...
    There are 3 scales of civilisations

    Type 3
    Type 2 and
    type 1
    wich are widely accepted to be intelligent as in use their entire brain rather than the small precentage we use. These are your space travelling telepathic aliens

    We are in the scientific brain development scale a
    Type 0 civilisation
    which is in non-theoretical physicist terms....fcuking retards

    I respect the calender with its acuarate readings but the end of earth on a certain date is not one which I agree with. There are scientifically moderate reasons for concern however.

    I dont think anybody would dispute that strange things are happening to the planet,and few doubt that carbon emmisions etc are affecting the globes natural balance.

    Real scientists told govts about this danger decades ago,no govts listened.


    the diffrience is the scientists were using Scientific method,based on research not the prequel to Harry Potter!

    i actually heard something about the north and south poles switching or something along those lines on QI and if stephen fry was saying it,well it has to be true...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    i've heard the whole poles switching story numerous times growing up.

    Its become a sort of boy who cried wolf thing with me now.

    Cause I'm pretty sure I heard it twice during the ninties and at least once in early 2001-2003.

    Cant remember if I heard it before then though.

    Always different dates I might add.

    Fair enough, I suppose worrying about football is quite a bit more sensible than worrying about the world ending.

    Worrying about something you can do nothing about or stop is most likely going to lead to cracking up.

    It does not have to be soccer,just thought it was an appropiate quote by Paisly in light of previous postings.

    We ALL need something positive to stay healthy in our mental health,without it we would crumble?

    How does it predict where and when the stars will be throughout the ages if it ends in 2012. That's not an "age". In astronomical terms it's a nanosecond!!

    Maybe if the Mayans had concentrated more on inventing the wheel rather than focusing on human sacrifice and the sort of predictions that are more suited to the astrology section of a tabloid they wouldn't have been wiped out by the Spanish.

    Still I wonder did they see that coming?

    They did apparently. Wasn't there meant to be the return of some white skinned god at some stage in their folklore?

    Nah, apparently that's a load of ballcocks! Cortes made it up so as to use it as an excuse to flatten the Aztecs. Basically he claimed that when the Aztec lad saw him he thought him a god, bowed down to him and then gave up his throne and begged to be converted. (i.e. kidnapped)

    Surely if any of those cultures actually believed that these white men were gods they might have been a little intimidated by the sheer number of them. It wasn't only the one white lad traipsing around South America. There was loads of them.

    Anyway Quetzacoatl or the Kirkiruk (sp?) was supposed to be a feathered serpent of some kind. Doesn't really describe a white man.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn!


    Its been foretold that the world will end at pretty much every significant milestone in history.

    If you keep guessing you eventually get it right.

The calender ends in 2012, which the mayans think that this means a new era in human evolution, an "awakening" of some kind. It is said that in 2012, massive disasters will happen throughout the world, like earhquakes and floods. This happens every 3500 years or so, some think, by a mysterious massive planet like object travelling through our solar system, others beleive in aliens, the new world order or a black hole. Nasa predicted that the north and south poles will shift in 2012, and that the earth will pass through the gravitational line of a black hole in our galaxy in 2012. you can find more info about 2012 on youtube or the internet.
    But my question is, do you beleive this or anything will happen? The evidence seems to be pointing towards something will happen!


    Lads that is potentially the biggest cock-block on New Years Eve 2011...I don't mean the "black hole", I mean the end of the world or alien invasion.

    Is a north and south pole shift in the Karma Sutra??
