I fell like we are in our last days. There was an 5.8 earthquake on the east coast and Irene is on the way.
I just know that there will be more disasters somewhere. The stangest thing is, I don't think that they're just coinsidences. I think that something (or someone) is causing all this.
My younger brother thinks that its the Golden Sun appearing (I wish).
Does anyone have any theories??
Yes, i have 5 different thearys,,,
1. the law of gravity in the universe is going away, they said its already kinda week and said one day it could happan.
2. aliens are trying to wipe us out.
3. the planet has come alive and wants life off its back.
4. this is all just a dream of mine and the quakes and stuff is some one trying to wake me up.
5. this is all just a natural cycle the earth and the whole solar system goes through every now and then, just like the 7 year on and off activity period for the sun, and the suns 2000 year solar rotation. and we haven't been looking at hour "whole planet" long enough to know what cycles it even has...
but yeah it could be the end of the world... i mean i did sleep through the quake and the falt line does run under my county, so yeah if it was that bad, it has to be the end... right?

I roflmfao'd at that pic.
Leaf....what the hell does the cheshire cat have to do with the end of the world?
What are you talking about Kingzane? every one knows what it has to do with the end of the world!
You know that thing with zombies and tornados? its like that but different.
The chesire cat is from Alice in wonderland which was created by disney.....
Zman.... you are right. Disney is one of the roots of evil because the illuminati touched it (just like they did everything else).

I think that they are the source of the hurricane and the earthquake... think about it, where is Jay-z?

You guys are nuts, think about it,its not disney...its the aliens. Come down here from dimension X an a brain kinda alien has set up a terrible weather controller device. I not even joking. In if any of you have any faith in us making it out alive, you need to pray for 4 bold turtles.
Spam much, leafgreen?
Yes, yes. 2012 is the end of the world because the Mayan calendar happens to go through cycles like any other calendar, and that happens to be when it restarts, there are nearly 1500 earthquakes of magnitude 5.0 or greater every year around the world, and hurricane season also occurs every single year with the east coast being hit by approximately 5 substantial ones for every 3 years.
Oh the signs are terrifying, patterns that have been observed for at least the past century are continuing to remain constant! Run for your lives!
Edit: Relevant pic is relevant.

LOVE it.
The government propbably knows what's going on and they know how to stop it but they continuously lie and hide things from us. Does anyone know what's in area 51 or even where it is? All I know is that they caught a UFO in like 1954 and they probably got all this super tech from reverse engineering and it won't be released until it gets developed.
There is a section in northern mexico where every electronic dies. Cell phone, radio, handhelds, anything that ran on a battery died even if the battery came fresh out the factory.
Somewhere in europe there are these stones that are perfectly aligned in a row for miles.
In that same part of europe, there are cities in a straight line and the first part of their names can be translated to star.
Stonehenge, yona guni, atlantis. I believe that they all have something to do with the end of the world.
I felt a slight wobble. I am currently producing provisions, ranging from simple food to outfitting my basement as a nuclear shelter, fully armed with turret guns that shoot anything that moves that doesn't have the last name "Merryfield".
Well, humans have shown that they are resourceful creatures. If they can survive earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, eruptions, and even live in areas that are known to have frequent tornadoes, then I doubt the end of the world will truly come. Who knows, we might just have a new invention that changes the world the way we see it.
Whenever I think that the world is going to end, I always ask myself...

Stop eating donuts in the car, it greases the wheel.
btw can a Delorian even go faster then 88 mph? I mean once it hits that it goes through time, and if you keept going 88, you would naver stop going through time... which in turn could cause the world to end... slowly, with earthquakes...

I take offense to that. All of my posts are

I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO IT DOC
I never saw part 3.... tell me where he landed in 2015 and if I survive 12/21/12, I will knock him out and take that car for a joyride. Lol
All you need to know about that.
I can't watch that at the time.
I got an android genbook and it thinks its a phone...(apparently no one ever told it that it runs on android only).
I bet that this will get necroposted around this time next year.
Well yeah... isn't that exactly what you just did?
hmm? I wouldn't call that necroposting... and its not even next year.
heck it hasn't even been half a year.
It's a conspiracy obv

Spending too much time on dcrisis, sala? This isn't digimon, you know. Something from a video game isn't gonna spell the end of the world.
I don't care if it hasn't been a year yet. I'm just sayin people are gonna be like 'ZOMG!!!! ITS OCTOBER!!!!! THT MEANZ THT WE WILL DIE IN LIKE TOW MNTHS!!!! AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!RUN ND HIDE ND SAV UR FAMSS!!!'
I will admit, that was kinda annoying to type.
But yeah, I believe that that's what will happen.
QuoteSomething from a video game isn't gonna spell the end of the world.
Not necessarily from a game, but because of one? I mean, if Sonic ever makes a comeback, that will certainly end the world as we know it. Not to offend anyone, it is just that Mario is pretty much known as
the video game character, even amongst non-gamers. If Sonic were to make a comeback, then that could change a lot.
heh the world dies when i say so.
And I plan to live until i'm 999 years old.... so yeah.
I can make that happen. Only catch is that you will watch all of your friends die and you will stay one age for 999 years. Meaning, that if you are in high school, you will stay in high school.

If, in there, had you said "end of the world as we know it," and not simply "end of the world," you may have had a point. However, omission of those four critical words, "as we know it," renders the statement silly, and your retort meaningless. Furthermore, the state of the popularity of video game characters is nearly irrelevant to the development of mankind. Now, if a video game character became a central figure in a
cultural phenomenon, that may indicate something deeper is going on, but even that would need to be on a massive scale to change the face of the world; it would need to be a completely pervasive phenomenon that changes the way people think. While I don't think it's wrong to believe that video games have the power to change society, it
is wrong to believe that they haven't already done so, and it is
also wrong to believe that they have done so alone. A single video game character isn't going to change anything, but the overarching cultural phenomenon of today's youth playing video games certainly has changed how people perceive the world, and will continue to change it. Likewise, video games alone cannot be pinned as the cause for cultural shifts, as all forms of technology have changed the way people operate in and perceive the world. Technology is what changes the world as we know it.
As humans have progressed, they developed metallurgy; they developed agriculture; they developed the steam engine; they developed computers; they developed nanotechnology. Any one of these could be considered a singularity, changing the face of the world as we know it in unprecedented and unpredictable ways. If we're to play the "end of the world as we know it" game, the obvious answer here is that it will be due to some newly developed technology in the upcoming years. Considering that the time between singularities in the development of mankind has become successively smaller each iteration, it is not far-fetched to believe that we will see another singularity within our lifetimes. However, due to the very nature of singularities - the results of an unprecedented newly developed technology - it is nearly impossible to guess what it might be.
I would guess when most people say "the end of the world", it means "all humans die". But maybe most people need some more insight in the actual meaning of the statement.
My family was sort of pushing me off of the computer, so I didn't have time to add "as we know it" to the original post... :Sweat:
But you make a very valid point.
And you are how old? ... die at 20... wtf really? you don't even stop growing until 31. And in a way you could say, you only start to die at 31...

Immortality sucks, bro. Living to 999 may not be "immortality," but it's close enough that it can be approximated as such; your very existence would become torturous long before you hit 999. Then, when you finally do die after 999 years of living, you would die alone and psychologically broken. It certainly would be better to die at 20 than to live till you were 999. Of course, since no one is going to live until they're 999 (at least, not without a singularity occurring that greatly increases the average human lifespan), if we're staying within the bounds of reality, dying at 20 would suck.
Dying at 99>>>>dying at 20>>>>>>>>>>>dying at 999.
I personally don't think anything would be worse than death. Even if I'm left alone, or go mad, or have to suffer for all eternity, I don't think it would be worse than complete nothingness.
But then again, if you live for all eternity you're already dead in a sense. Only death is eternal.
Then why do victims of torture often plead to be killed on the spot? There is no value in a life filled only with pain. If a person experiences no joy and holds no hope for the future, then they have lost their reason to live. If a person knows that they will never see the light of day again, and are destined to only suffer from that moment until their death, then they have nothing to cling to, and nothing to make them feel any remaining attachment to this world. People do suffer all throughout their lives in some way or another, but they experience bits and pieces of joy sprinkled throughout that suffering, and hold the hope that they will experience more of that joy if and when they overcome their hardships, which gives them reason to keep living. If you take that away, all that is left for them to look forward to is the end of that suffering: all that is left for them to look forward to is death.

Because they want to die, of course!
I't a personal thing, I doubt many would agree with me. But pain is still feeling, and suffering is still experiencing. In death, your conscience just doesn't exist. Well, probably. It's simply impossible to fathom.

Yes, but there's a difference between talking about experiencing it and actually experiencing it. I think that if you were tortured constantly from now until the day you died, you would crack at some point. The human psyche can only take so much.
Jiten: That's what most people would imagine when they think of nothingness, but trying to imagine not being able to imagine is a paradox. Seeing your own future is also a paradox if you think about it.
leafgreen: It's very different indeed. I think if I was constantly tortured, since I'm a human I'd simply die at some point. I might also do something that could lead to me getting killed. It's a situation that will probably never arise, at least I hope it doesn't. But if I could live for hundreds of years I might perceive that situation differently, and I also don't think the human mind is capable of experiencing eternal suffering.
I'm planning my life according to the limited time I have in it, and it just doesn't feel like it's enough. If I lived for close to a thousand years, I might try to do something different, like breaking the limits of human ability. Or just go mad and be happy all the same. Perhaps I'm a little crazy already, or perhaps I'm just the epitome of human ignorance.
Please, call me leaf.
And yes, life is short. Our youth is even shorter. I've come to view the world with more and more negativity over the years, and I just don't see any way that it [the world] will ever be fixed. Of course, that's a topic that would take far too much elaboration for me to go into right now, so I'll just leave it at saying the world is a highly restrictive place.
I can pretty much guarantee that you're a little crazy already - everyone is. It's what makes us individuals. "Normal" is nothing more than an average measure, and anything that deviates from that measure, even if by just a little, is by definition "abnormal." It's just a matter of how abnormal a person is, and if that abnormality is enough to impede their ability to function in society, which it is often not.
Or maybe these are all just the ramblings of a crazy person trying to justify his own insanity. Who knows?
QuoteOr maybe these are all just the ramblings of a crazy person trying to justify his own insanity. Who knows?
Not offen, but every now and then the world needs a little insanity.
So then here is my theory about the end...
Btw its long and I could see some people having a proplem with it, but meh...
[spoiler]I personaly feel that almost every single person on earth follows a... how you say, normal mind set.
this inclued common people, killers and "quote" mentaly retarted "quote" (the reason for the extreams is an example)
much less commen is the crazys.
the truly insane, resoning is gone, and they could be called a shell of a person.
fewer still is the sane insane.
these people think out side the box, and will fight the world if need be.
these are people that range from "benjamin franklin" to people like "hittler"
they change the world or them selfs become truly insane or just stay in the shadows.
But out of all these the one that would be more likely to cause the end of the world might just be the normal.
people fear change yet, we are also curious about everything. these two sides start conflict with eachother. maby not in war but in politics.
compromise blurs the lines and creates confusion and disorder, and then lead to fighting and finaly war.
every time in the past of major conflicts, it has come down to a wild card, a new idea, or new leader that ends the conflict.
most of the time its some one who could be called sane insane.
world war two, for better worse, there was one who had the greatest pull in ending conflict.
albert einstein, didn't really pick a side. while his research did end the war, it was used to create a weapon.
As it is right now there isn't many who would end conflict should it start (and it will start)
As it stands I feel the world will end in a conflict bigger then and war ever combined. and it will be between you and your nabor. it will be half the human race verses the other half. in the end almost no one will survive and due to world wide war, the survivers won't recover and will eventauly die out...[/spoiler]
Again its my theory on the end. if you don't agree. fine.
Actually, the world ending due to nuclear holocaust isn't entirely unlikely. And a WWIII would certainly spawn a nuclear holocaust.
The bit about you and your neighbor being on opposing sides seems highly improbable, though. Rather than being on opposing sides, what would be more likely is simply every person being on their own side, competing over a set of limited resources in the fallout after the war. It's not that they want to kill the other person - it's that they want to survive, themselves.
neighbor. refering to freinds turned enemys and enemys freinds. a.k.a countrys. more or less world devided. and sure depending on what said fighing is about, who knows maby your nabor will leave the country and go to another on another side?
Zman's predictions: Lately there haven't been to much in the way of natural disasters. but there is going to be another small one, then it will be peaceful for almost a year, then another natural disaster will hit. but it win't be small like the hurricanes or that earth quake japan had. no this will make that look like an ant. and it won't be limited to one part of the world, it will effect each person in a visible way. just after there will be a short while of total peace from fighting every where. then a few weeks later a world war will start. If nukes will be used or not idk but it will be bad.
Should my prediction fail you are all to give me a coin! HNG! WALP! I-I.. can't see any more....
umm i thought is was the 21st... at 11:52 est...
12/21/2012 time 11:52am est
exact time.
yep so we have just over a year until something happens...
what happens? i don't know... maybe the xbox360 will get replaced... who knows what they thought was so bad...
I think the terrible thing that happens is that they realize they miscalculated, and the apocalypse isn't for a few more years. This will of course be a reccurring event on every subsequent apocalypse date as well for a long long time to come.
Even though I don't believe in any of this, deep down I am a bit worried about whatever may happen.
which is quite understandable. I mean what do we do if something does happen?
I'm not worried, I'm excited to see what if anything any where happens on that date.
.05% of the population will be doing stupid things to ruin it for everyone else.
Especially the looters.
