(Comment at the end of a LiveScience article saying that the 2012 Mayan End of World nonsense could be off by 50-100 years.)
All this article does is tell me that someone who knows the 2012 prophesy is true is trying to debunk the whole @#$% thing and make everyone believe that it's going to be alright. Fact is everything will not be alright. Even scientiest, astronomers, astrologers are saying that something is going to happen December 21st. 2012 and it is no coincidence that this coincides with the Myan calender. This article is a bunch of rubbish, written by those who want to de-tour you from the truth!!!

Let me think, how many scientists you know(none, judging your orthography)?, and how much Mayan, for that matter?
You're going to make me say it aren't you?
"Even scientiest, astronomers, astrologers are saying that something is going to happen December 21st. 2012"

No, they are not. NOTHING is going to happen in 2012. In fact, on December 22nd of that year, you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna go right to one of those New Age meetings and say, "IN YOUR FACE!"

Which ones, exactly? And I'm not talking about astrologers, they just make shit up anyway. In fact, the only ones I've seen saying something is going to happen are internet websites put up by nutjobs and media hype over the whole thing, much like they claimed Y2K was going to be the end of civilization as we know it.
This article is a bunch of rubbish
Says he who spouts nonsense on Yahoo News.
"Even scientiest, astronomers, astrologers are saying that something is going to happen December 21st. 2012"
Yes, they all agree that the Winter Solstice will happen on that date. Any other events depend on their religious background (if they have any) and how dysfunctional their family may be.
I really, really would like to be standing next to JakeF's bed when he wakes up Dec. 22nd 2012 and ask him what went wrong with his end of the world theory.
And I really do have to wonder about people who are so eager to believe in end of the world fantasies, whether it be 2012 or the rapture. Thes people really need to get lives or professional help.
Palin could be president-elect by 21/12/12 though.
Believe me, if that happens, I'll take any kind of cosmic mysterious get-out clause I can get.
That's what you dingbats said when NASA debunked Nibiru's impending arrival in May/June of '03.
You guys never learn, do you?
Just back from Yucatan. The Mayans are still having babies and planning for long-term goals. While they do enjoy the extra boost of tourism that the 2012 nuts have provided, they're not laughing with you, they're laughing at you.
Tell you what, if the world ends that day, i'll give you five bucks, and if it doesn't you give me five bucks.
Why do people keep talking about 2012 anyway?
It's just the Mayan version of Y2K, but since they don't have computers anyway it won't be a problem.
Such a charming tinfoil hat! You simply must tell me who your designer is!
In the meanwhile, I'll go right on dreaming of the 2014 50th Anniversary Mustang.
I guess if "scientiest" say it, it must be true, especially astrology "scientiest." By the way, "it is no coincidence that this coincides with the Myan calender." You do know,don't you,that the definition of a coincidence is when things coincide??
The best part about "Myan calender" (am I the only person who noticed that quite a lot, if not most, of these new agers have trouble with English?) is that scientists cannot figure out its starting date...
Don't worry, the problem's being taken care of.
Nothing is true, everything is permitted.
I'm still conviced they just ran out of rock and figured they woudl do another long count calender thing as the date approched. No more Mayans now, though, so there is no one to make another. Or the others have been destroyed or something. Or, you know it is supposed to repeat.
The only thing that is going to happen that December is my mom making Christmas cookies and fudge.
I haven't heard of any scientists or astronomers saying that the world it going to end on that date. The only people who have been saying that have been raving loons such as yourself.
BTW, of course something is going to happen on December 21, 2012. Something happens somewhere every single day.

"BTW, of course something is going to happen on December 21, 2012. Something happens somewhere every single day."
I wouldn't be so sure... Today, in my own home town, nothing happened. But then I don't live in the most exciting part of the UK.
On that particular date, the Mayan long count calendar comes to an end and a new long count calendar cycle begins. As for what it means for humanity, well I don't know. I only use cheapo calendars with twelve months.
I've said it to practically every single one of the idiots around me and I'll say it again: The Maya didn't say that the world would end in 2012. Their calendar just ends there. The people making it probably just decidad to go get a life rather than make a calender that goes up to 5,000 years in the future. So saying that the World will end in 2012 because the Maya said so is like saying that the world will end on December 31 because we said so.
I know what is going to happen on December 21, 2012.
Yes, it's terrifying.
Yes, it's inevitable.
Yes, beyond a shadow of a doubt...
people will go Christmas shopping.
And when in 2012 it looks as though nothing has happened, that will just be a trick to try and deceive you. Because the reality is, that the world and all it contains will actually be destroyed. It will just look as though it hasn't been destroyed. We know this for a fact because this is how it has happened so many times in the past as to be completely predictable and indisputably true.
When you look and study the Mayan Calendar from an objective standpoint, which mind you takes some time to do regardless if you want a basic or very detailed understanding of it, what you will learn is that December 12, 2012 on our calendar is when on the Mayan Calendar everything on the Mayan Calendar lines up together to form an "end" of a cycle that comes once every 5,125 years....and that's pretty much it.
Most reputable scientists, astronomers, and Mayan culture scholars who have spent years studying and working in the fields they're in have dismissed the 2012 doomsday notion for reasons made from what they have found about the 2012 doomsday phenomenon in relation to their line of work.
Yeah, we're having an astronomical event that won't repeat for 26000+ years. Anything else? Well, what will be, will be.
Kaii'dth.
I expected the apocalypse to be, well, a bit more apocalyptic...
Another one to add to the list...

Something did happen on Dec 21, 2012: The sun came up, somewhere, it rained, somewhere, it snowed, somewhere it was cloudy, somewhere it was sunny...and the sun set.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
