If the world really does end in 2012 then the first thing we need to do is find all the 'rapture' believers and lock them up. The last thing we want is these folk walking around in t-shirts that say "I TOLD YOU SO".

OK, an alternative viewpoint. Suppose something really bad is going to happen that will result in almost total extinction of the human race, what do you do? Me, I'd be about ten miles from ground zero so that when the meteorite hit or the supervolcano went up I'd have the most amazing view, for about 1/10 of a second. Why? Life on Earth wouldn't be much fun after the big one so there's no point hanging around.

Yeah, Id do something similar. Lets say Yellowstone goes krakatoa. Id be out on my lawn chair sipping a martini just because I want to go out in as awesome of a way as possible.

Actually, if there was a big catastrophe, and the rapture folks were around afterwards, they'd not be walking around in teeshirts saying, "I told you so," they'd be total basket cases, because they were still on earth. People who believe in the rapture think that Jesus is going to return before the world gets into a real mess, and take them out of it first.

The problem with that theory is that the world is already a mess, and everyone's still here.

I'd like to be dressed in vintage 60s clothes, Mod - not hippie, listening to my favourite Kinks album on CD, when it happens. I want to go out, just doing my own thing, and being myself. 8)

The rapture is not in the slightest bit biblical.

No less a person than Eric Theodore Cartman has already taught us that the world will end in 2012 (The Cult of Cartman - Revelations DVD), so it must be true.

Oh well, no need to worry about George Osbourne stealing a year of my pension, or the noise and mess of the 2012 Olympics.

Thanks for the heads-up 8)

I would alternate between crying for all the stuff I never got to do/ not being able to graduate, and trying to paw at the blinds to get the best view of those crazy ash clouds and possible lightning from the whole thing. 8O

If it was a total "explode in a fireball/meteor/volcano" type armageddon then I'd shove on some Sabbath' and rock till I dropped > : D.

What an epic way to go out!

I wonder, if it is even true, if the world would end suddenly or over like a year period.
