December 21, 2012. Doomsday?

Where has any of their "predictions" come into play with people avoiding some catastrophe or benefiting from "pre-knowledge" of an event? Like most times...hindsight is 20/20.
How about this...throw all the Mayan shit out the window. You now know that it is predicted either:
1. We will get hit with a sunstorm that will knock us off of our current position.
2.The alignment of the sun, earth, and center of the galaxy is going to strip us of our atmosphere and we're all going to perish.

What can we do about it? What would you do about it? Keep in mind this is based off of sheer scientific study, not a psychic, or an ancient people's prediction.

remember when half of the US and Canada lost power? that was by far the best day of my life. i hope from the bottom of my heart that im alive for dooms day. even better i hope it happens soon so im still young and wily.

i really hope this goes down.
itll be amazing.
Anarchy!
Natural selection at its most brutal!
Heaven!
(assuming we all dont simply get annihilated)

im seriously happy this was posted. next four years of my life are really going to be meaningful to me. live every day like its ur last.

Personally, I reject all of this. I believe it's a bunch of voodoo science, myself. Sorry but I'm a skeptic at heart.

Ok...throwing all the Mayan aspects out....In terms of shifting planet poles...sunstorms etc. There is not much that can be done.

Nasa has just begun to map asteroids and space crap that may threaten to hit earth. If they are just begining to look into things like this...there is nothing in place that could avert an even happening so soon. 2012 is only 4.5 years away.

Maybe something occuring 100 years from now...we'll have something in place to handle it. Then again....some things you cant do anything about. Like our sun going supernova....Or our moon's gravitational pull changing in anyway. Those things....all we could probably do is sit back and enjoy the show.

As far as the predictions made....yes...you do have to let events pass before you would know that the prediction was correct. But predictions have been made from the beginning of record keeping at least. So when a prediction was made....a warning given about something and it came to pass....the next prediction should be heeded as we can see what happens if they are ignored. All that Im saying is that predictions are just that....a prediction. Its up to people to understand it and act if they think its true. In essence....the predictions are worthless...not because they arent accurate...but because no actions are taken after a warning.

Very well said Blood. I agree with you. There is nothing we can do about it and thats just the thing. Life must go on.

Nonsense...Just like 6-6-06 and soon to be 7-7-07...
The 6-6-06 was/is biblical related. The bible doesn't specify how this sign will appear to us, or when it will happen, just that it is the mark of the beast. I don't think 7-7-07 has any relevance in any of this.

i think 7/7/07 will be a lucky day!

the crazy part of these predictions though is in every Katun something happened that fits the prediction perfectly!

i have to find something that has all these predictions and the things that happened correspondingly

See thats where they are getting confused Baysmoke. They think the Mayans actually predicted EXACT events with specifics.

The katuns were just spans of time that had a certain characteristic. For example:
Katun 8 Ahau. There is an end of greed; there is an end to causing vexation . . . much fighting
This katune refers to the period of the american reveloution.

Katun 13 Ahau There is no lucky day for us
This katune refers to the period when the Spaniards arrived

Katun 5 Ahau Harsh his face, harsh his tidings.
This katune refers to what we are going through right now

Katun 4 Ahau. The Quetzal shall come . . . Kukulcan shall come.
This katune begins on Dec 21, 2012. This is the period of time when the Mayans believed that the creator(s) would return......whoever/whatever they/it might be.

This is exactly what I mean by hindsight being 20/20.

The end of greed, much vexation and much fighting. That could be ANY war or fight at ANY TIME!!! How could you settle on any one thing? Wars were going on in other places at the time. Why American Revolutionary War?

There is no lucky day for us. Again...making things fit AFTER the fact. Why couldnt this be talkng about the Aztecs kicking the Mayans' asses in South America. Nothing refers to the Spaniards.

Harsh his face, Harsh his tidings. How does this refer to this day and time we're in right now? This one is even more of a reach than the previous two. In no way does this refer to ANYTHING about this period in time.

The Quetzal shall come...Kulkukan shall come. Are Quetzal or Kulkukan terms for the end of time? Doesnt sound like it. Sounds like they are expecting the return of someone....And didnt they accept Cortez the conqueror as being this "Kulkukan"? He was expected to arrive from the sea (like Cortez) and be pale (like Cortez) and have a beard (like Cortez). Alot of scholars say that had they not believed Cortez was the returning "One" they probably would have fucked him up. Anyway...the point being...that I doubt that that last Katun refers to the end of time.

No insult meant to anyone who buys any of this but it's all pseudo-science mumbo jumbo. Just like Nostradamus. After the fact it's very easy to reinterpret a "prediction" to match almost any historical occurence. And you know what they say, "if you throw enough bullshit against the wall, eventually some will stick".

I completely agree with you Blood. The whole prophecy concept is a little far fetched. This is indeed what people today have related to these katunes. I'm putting more faith in the scientific studies about the solar system and the galaxy than I am in predictions.

Like Baysmoke said earlier, there are predictions for after this period, so it is not supposed to be "the end of time" so to speak, but rather what you said earlier about how the Earth cleanses itself from time to time.

I'm not dead set on any of this hearme, it just makes for good conversation
:mrgreen:
And the bullshit quote is hilarious:bigjoint:

Something definitely will happen on that date, I assure you. I will wake up, take a dump, have some bfast, drop my little one off at school and go to work. Work will be the usual same old same old. I'll get home, have some dinner, see my little one off to bed (she won't be so little in 5 years), and light up a big bowl with the Mrs. What happens after that is unpredictable at this point.


Maybe it will, maybe it won't. No one knows for sure....only time will tell:mrgreen:
