Haha, I'm not too worried. Everyone was freaking out about 2000, and we're all still here. It is spooky that the Mayan calender suddenly ends with 2012... but I mean... how far in the future are you gonna plan? I think they were just like, 'Okay, that's far enough. We'll add more when we need it.'
Or they just assumed they wouldn't be around that long.
But, hopefully the world doesn't explode. It would kinda ruin my plans...
But if it ends it ends lol.

You know, this is going to sound really angry haha. But it's how I feel.
Okay, so my psycho step-grandmother decided it would be a cool idea to tell an anxiety-attack prone nine year old in December 1999 (if you couldn't tell, that nine year old was me) that the world was going to erupt in fiery lava in 2000.
I was up all night hysterical, fearing the end of the world.
It never happened.
I hate that woman.
So, this is what I think about all the 2012 rumors: if it does happen (which I'm fairly sure it won't, mainly because of what Del mentioned) God will certainly have an earful from me. :/
I would be so royally pissed, you don't even know.
Yeah, it wouldn't really be worth it, being all angry. But I've got plans. I've got a right to freaking live my life out, too. I've got a little brother that I love and would want nothing more than to see him grow and live and love. Heck, I've got 5 younger siblings, and that's all I hope for. And if he takes that away from them -- and I don't care how perfect Heaven is -- ohh I will not be pleased.

Part of me is like "hmm well I'd like to graduate college yannow".
Part of me is rolling my eyes. I don't believe in a conscious god being (hence why I never capitalize the word), more of a force. But not with the dark and light side, closer to the Unifying Force theory. But anyway, my point is this: FORCES DON'T MAKE PLANS.
Also, if something happens, I won't have anyone to yell at, because I'll too busy being reincarnated as something on another planet or in another universe or something, I dunno. Also, forces don't listen to people. Nope. They do what they want.
Sure they say the Mayans did a lot of stuff that was really accurate and predicted other stuff... but then again, so did the Simpsons. -.- (donut-shaped universe? hello?)
My desk calender ends on December 31, 2009. So THAT is the day the world will end. Unless I get a new calendar.
The fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012 tells us only one thing: they had better things to do than make a 2013 calendar. I figured they though "Ehh we'll make one when we get there". I mean, I know people say be proactive, but isn't there a point at which you should stop?
</ramblings>
PS: I wonder if someone out there is basing the way they live the rest of their life on the "fact" that the world will end in 2012. Probably. Imagine their disappointment. xD

A more "logical" reason why I don't believe is because so many people predicted the end of the world -- like 2000, for example -- before and made fools of themselves.
I'm pretty sure one guy, as early as the 1800s, predicted the end sometime in that century. People probably were wary about that. Never happened.
Same thing occurred in like... the 70s and 80s. I'm pretty sure people also thought WWII was a sign of the end, with Hitler being the Antichrist and all. But we're still here.
And why -- for god's sake -- would anyone who believes in divine retribution from a Christian god ever CONSIDER that Mayan people who worshiped several "fictional" gods, be correct about something like that? "Oh yeah, Rapture and Armageddon will happen when the Mayans said it would." "You mean the ones that never heard of Jesus and believed in a flying snake god?" "No, those were the Aztecs. But God definitely sent the Mayans -- their cousins -- a sign."
Pfft.

LMAO.
Either one would suck [for me].
I'm not sure which one would be worse :/
Granted, if the world does end, I'll have better things to worry about than the status of a FFVII remake XD

We'll add more when we need it.' I had heard that the Mayan calendar constantly updated itself over and over by itself and that it just stops at 2012, thats why people think the world will end. Then again I also heard that it isnt exactly the end of the world, but the end of the world as we know it, meaning something would big would happen and change our world. Who knows...

That's when time machines will be invented. Mayan's can't comprehend time machines, so they just stopped there.

Indeed.
Maybe in 2012, everyone goes forward in time to meet future people... no wait that doesn't make sense... aghhhh >.<
But I'm sticking with my time machine theory.
