Why didn't it end in 2000? The 90s were so awesome, but [fill in problem here] had to take all that away. I can't wait for all of it to end so I can see my deceased family members. I am not a suicidal pessimist, but look at humanity nowadays. Even when I was born 20 years ago, things were a lot better than they are now, both in personal subjective terms and objective terms.

The 2000s were a crap decade, and the world just seems to have everyone following the wrong solutions. I keep predicting it'll keep going downhill every day for a few more years. When the time came, I would not want it to be the end of the world, but just enough chaos to loot some books and electronics and museum holdings while everyone's distracted elsewhere. And some shelves to store the stuff, too.

Sigh. For the umpteenth time: the Mayans did not believe the world would end when their calendar "ran out". To them, calendars were supposed to roll over once per era, and the rolling over of a calendar was cause for major celebration and a week of festivities. Put another way, if the Mayans were alive today, they'd be getting ready to throw a party like we did back in 1999.

The only people who genuinely believe anything bad is going to happen on December 20, 2012 are Americans who somehow got the crazy idea from popular fiction that the world is supposed to end then.

If you want a date to really worry about, worry about January 19, 2038. 3:14:07am (UTC), to be exact. 2^31 seconds after the dawn of the Unix Epoch at midnight UTC on January 1, 1970. January 1, 2000 was just a fire drill. January 19, 2038 is the Real Thing. The computers lots of people were so worried about back in 1999 couldn't have cared less about 1999 vs 2000, because Unix Epoch Time is how they REALLY keep track of dates. In 2038, the problems will be much, much worse than being forced to see dates like January 1, 19100.

The Mayans also smoked Salvia. So technically the Mayans are drug addicts predicting our future.

You can still enjoy the past via cds, mp3s, youtube, dvds for reruns of old shows. In fact, my family is getting rid of cable at the end of football season. No Mike and Molly or Two and a Half Men for me. Will miss Storage Wars, though, especially Brandy, she's hot.

On a more subjective note, I thought audio and videocassettes were awesome. But unlike vinyl, I doubt it's coming back, which is just one of the reasons I think the world needs to end, because I want to have happiness once again in everything I do. Besides, I don't know if you understood me.

I just hope I know when the world is going to end ahead of time so I can meet up with my aquantinces Lucy and Mary Jane one last time :twisted: But I don't really think the world will end, I think something major will probably happen but not the end of the world, don't know for sure though.

Only smoking Salvia in excess and not being able to stop would make them addicts......smoking a bit of Salvia on occaision for spiritual purposes does not make one a drug addict. I don't even think Salvia is addictive.

TRUE.

It is the New-Age doomsday cultists that seem to have started this rumor, based on the fact that someone else translated enough of the Mayan calendar to note that it covered a period of time up to December 20-ish, 2011.

Oh, look! My "Peanuts" calendar ends on December 31! This means that Charles Schulz was a prophet who predicted the ends of the world on that date! We're all doomed! DOOMED, I say!

:lol:
