A New Thought about 2012
« on: March 30, 2010, 01:18:08 PM »
I was just thinking about how much everyone believes in the doomsday belief, and I have to say that maybe because everyone believes in this theory is the reason why the world might end in 2012.

Hear me out, lets visualize this, if no one paid attention to the 2012 theory then most likely nothing will happen, the year goes by without a second thought and everyone goes about their day. But however this will not happen, with the thought that the end is near highly powered people who do believe in this theory perhaps might not care about their actions, after all the end is near...why care?

Perhaps it's not the events themselves that might end the earth, but possibly the power of belief in it. With millions in belief of 2012, that's millions with moral hazard, millions that may not care about their actions...these millions themselves might be the cause of the end of the earth. If high powered leaders take actions that they would not normaly take due to the belief then perhaps there might be truth in this theory.

The theory itself may by a cover of an underlying message, if you think it will happen...then it will. The closer 2012 comes the more panic arrises, the crazier people become...they loose control and start doing what ever it takes to survive. Chaos arrises in the masses, neighborhoods turn into war zones, congress unable to act in any motions, nations abroad follow, world chaos inssues. All because they believed.


I do not believe in the theory, but however I am terrified by what I just stated above...with millions in belief, they themselves are what they must fear.
Why am I terrified? Because events are controllable, people are not.


Thoughts?

I'll bet you a trillion stimulus dollars that 12/21/2012 comes and goes like any other day.

If I'm right; pay up.

If I'm wrong; it wont matter.  :)

A trillion dollar stimulus would devalue the dollar so much that a billion dollar stimulus would be worth more  :aok


besides the point, I said I do not believe in the 2012 theory, I only fear what I stated above.

Without fear and panic we wouldn't have ratings.  Politicians wouldn't have a platform to run on.  We wouldn't need religion.

I am with Spikes,..uh,...in an idea sort of way, not in a man-love sort of way.  :)

Have to figure it this way.  If it is going to end, there is nothing I can do about it, so why waste precious time worrying about it?  If it is not going to end, then I will not have wasted precious time worrying about it.

All I have to worry about is the backlash from the first sentence of this post.  Now, THAT IS something to worry about.

Civilization would have collapsed a long time ago if such a thing would push people over the edge... 2000 came & passed without incident as far as I can remember.

Oh, I'm with spikes in that other sort of way.   :bolt:

Anyway, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it Flipperk.  Some people will bug out, millions of dollars will be made by those capitalizing on rampant stupidity, and this big old rock will keep on turning.

Exactly the way I see it as well.

Also you'd have to think to yourself, how would the world just 'end'? Just like that? Too many people are freaking out that I talk to, since all of these earthquakes are happening.

Like Skuzzy said why worry about something you cant stop ( for those who do believe it) then TV blows everything out of portion with there constant bombardment of what if Shows, lol  like that show Life After Humans (i think)  lol   how can they even know what will or could happen, again all speculation, i mean after all... if its a bigbang, poof were gone, then i guess none of that show really mattered now did it  :D

Yawn. This is about the 3rd EOTW situation I have seen. They seem to come about every 20 years or so. I recall some folks who said the Earth was going to be destroyed and were packing up to live in a cave. I don't know why they figured a cave would be safe if the Earth were to be destroyed. I am not going to pay a darn bit of attention to the current scare. Y'all have fun playing with it but that "toy" is boring to me.
