Sense it is coming and this part is copyrighted I will allow any who are intested time to read this and make comments.

Myself, my belifs are in the Bible and Jesus, not a group of people who lived long ago and then just disappeared. That is for the UFO Hunters and other

ies

I believe we will see Dec, 22, 2012 and a longer while after that.

I worry more about Iran and it's friends and all of the terror groups Iran supports. Or an outright Islamic uprising like what happened to start Islam.

NASA scientists took time on Wednesday (Nov. 28) to soothe 2012 doomsday fears, warning against the dark side of Mayan apocalypse rumors — frightened children and suicidal teens who truly fear the world may come to an end Dec. 21.

These fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar. On the 21st, the date of the winter solstice, a calendar cycle called the 13th b'ak'tun comes to an end. Although Maya scholars agree that the ancient Maya would not have seen this day as apocalyptic, rumors have spread that a cosmic event may end life on Earth on that day.

Thus NASA's involvement. The space agency maintains a 2012 information page debunking popular Mayan apocalypse rumors, such as the idea that a rogue planet will hit Earth on Dec. 21, killing everyone. (In fact, astronomers are quite good at detecting near-Earth objects, and any wandering planet scheduled to collide with Earth in three weeks would be the brightest object in the sky behind the sun and moon by now.)

"There is no true issue here," David Morrison, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, said during a NASA Google+ Hangout event today (Nov. 28). "This is just a manufactured fantasy."

well the fear is that when all the planets align there will be a cataclysm due to combined gravity ...or something of that nature...

Unfortunately, Morrison said, the fantasy has real-life consequences. As one of NASA's prominent speakers on 2012 doomsday myths, Morrison said, he receives many emails and letters from worried citizens, particularly young people. Some say they can't eat, or are too worried to sleep, Morrison said. Others say they're suicidal.

"While this is a joke to some people and a mystery to others, there is a core of people who are truly concerned," he said.

sad and understandable given the typical teen's emotional make up.

The Mayans, like the Aztecs, "borrowed" their knowledge from other people. Being bloodthirsty mollycoddlers of mythical gods is not any sign of intelligence, or of an advanced civilization. As an aside, the Muslims will follow their path to extinction also. But getting back to the Winter Solstice in December, if a massive pack of chickens cower in fear over the doomsday that is expected by them and other idiots, there had better be maintained a level of calmness until December 22 pops up and kicks them in the ass.

Time for another beer run!

Well I think if we do live passed 21 Dec which is 20 days from today our real problems will continue.

The way I see it is that the Tribulation has yet to start but with all thats on the worlds plate it can start any day. Unless it has started sense the financial downfall.

Most Americans and plenty of others think sense the Soviet State downfall that nukes are less dangerous.

Well the people who keep the Nuclear Clock have reset it.

It’s Five Minutes To Midnight. Or So Says The Doomsday Clock

by Suzi Parrasch

January 10, 2012

Are we really closer to the apocalypse? The board of directors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) certainly think so. So much so, they moved the symbolic Doomsday Clock ahead one minute closer to midnight today.

“It is five minutes to midnight,” BAS executive director Kennette Benedict announced this afternoon at a press conference in Washington, D.C.

“Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed. For that reason, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is moving the clock hand one minute closer to midnight, back to its time in 2007,” the BAS noted in its formal statement.

The Doomsday Clock, a potent symbol — and reminder — of the potential for global destruction, was conceived by a group of University of Chicago scientists who helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project. They founded the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists in 1945, and the clock, two years later. The clock is maintained by the BAS board of directors.

“Faced with clear and present dangers of nuclear proliferation and climate change, and the need to find sustainable and safe sources of energy, world leaders are failing to change business as usual.

Saw a quote today-

"The earth is round, Saadam didn't attack us on 911, Obama was born in the US, Elvis is dead, and the climate crisis is real."

Nope...

Under current law, you still have to...If you read the smallprint, it says "The end of the world does not relieve anyone of their stamp-buying duties"...:cray
