The world very well may come to an end just because Dec 21 is my 10th wedding annviersary. Never thought I could get through 5 let alone 10 and my husband knows that the 10th is a BIG anniversary present

My 10th anniversary will be a few months after yours; I better be getting a good present or at least a really awesome vacation!

Canada threatens to invade the US, which will cause a panic as the two parties of Congress debate if Canada is in Europe or Asia.

It isn't far off.

If the world plans on ending then can we know beforehand. I would spend a lot of money which I have been having for the kids. I would spend Oct and Nov traveling to every place I want to. Dont have to pay cc bills then. Buy a coach bag [ya my needs r small].

I don't think anything will happen but I have a friend at work who has bought it hook, line and sinker. She thinks humanity will be lifted to another plane of existence.
She told me the other day that Barack Obama was sent to us (by whom I did not ask) to deliver us to the next dimension.
Now to put this in perspective:
I am a huge Obama supporter and I am looking at her like this
She, on the other hand, is a diehard Republican and totally believes it.

The "prophecy" is a misinterpretation of the Mayan Calendar. The Mayan Calendar is cyclical and we are nearing the end of the third cycle, as in, it has already cycled twice before. The cycle restart of the cycle does not mark the end of the world but rather a fundamental shift in humanity around the change. This is highly possible given the rapidly changing state of technology.

The world will not actually end and those that interpret it that way are in no way experts on the Mayan culture. They are taking relatively scant information and spinning it to fit their beliefs.

I agree with this.

I was in Cozumel in December and spoke to many Mayans including a Mayan historian who all said they don't interpret it as the world ending. They said the calendar just starts again with nothing mystical happening.

The moon will become as a portebello mushroom and the sun as a lazy eye. There will be fashion disasters and rumours of fashion disasters, and the smurf will lie down with the Gargamel.

I won't care, though. I'm sure I'll have my standard issue gold polyester "citizen's bodysuit" and accompanying rocket pack by then!

Please?

Plus Global Warming which is melting glaciers to a point it may look like The Day After Tomorrow . So yeah, at this point, the world may come to an end on December 21, 2012. And it will be mankind who destroys it.

I wondered about that movie. Why did the world go into a deep freeze if there's global warming? I'm thinking the glaciers start to melt, it somehow affects the atmosphere, and then cools the planet to almost unlivable temperatures. But then I hear the planet will eventually have no more winters due to global warming. I just don't understand.

 

[Disney8704]

Global Warming could go either way. No more winters, or another Ice Age. Day After Tomorrow was predicting that there will be another Ice Age.

If you do a search for How Global Warming May Cause the Next Ice Age you will find many sites with more information.

I don't think anyone of normal intelligence expects any kind of world-changing event. People not in that category -- who knows what they believe!
