2012 the world is going to end!

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyoneone with AS or in general believe this BS?
I certaially don't because it's going to be 2012 then a week later it's going to be 2013. I remember when it was 2000 there was these rumors going around that it's going to be the end of the world and theres going to be a major computer virus.

I can believe the stuff about a major computer virus.
Stuxnet has already been used against Iran's atomic energy
(or is it atomic bomb?) program. I suspect that any week now
some hacker will develop or even send a variant of Stuxnet to
attack American computers as a way of getting payback.

Has anybody here heard anything about radio and TV being shut down for a few minutes sometime within these next few days?

A friend recently said something to me about having heard that somewhere, but she did not have many details.

I hope the world does end, since I honestly have no purpose in life and I'm bored of it all.

The only way it would be true is if some zealot somewhere had access to The Button. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend running up the credit card bill December next year. (well, no more than for the usual holiday shopping that is)

People will keep predicting the end of the world, and they will almost certainly keep being wrong.

Some crazy preacher said the world was supposed to end last Friday. He predicted it in the spring I think too, but said he got it wrong and it was last week.

The Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012, that is where this came from. That's my son's birthday, and I always joke that it's going to be a hell of a party

You're all invited!

I don't believe a bit of it. The world was meant to be in 2000 when I was 10, and we even was learning about it in school, and everyone had leaflets sent round to their house telling everyone about it. I don't think it did end - it's 11 years later and we're still all here.

December 21st 2012 will be another day. And anyway, they say there is 7 reasons why it might end, but why on that exact date?

It's just one of those things they do to get people gossiping. They do it all the time.

The guy you're talking about was named Harold Camping, and he was...uhm, yeah. He was crazy. He actually didn't attempt to revise when he thought that the world was going to end, though. He believed that the rapture would occur in the spring and that the actual end of time would follow shortly after in October. Clearly it didn't happen and the vast majority of Christians view him as a dangerous kind of crazy (other things he taught branched off into total weirdness; he told people not to go to church because the church was in apostasy, and he advocated a bizarrely metaphorical view of parts of the Bible that led him to his strange belief about the end of time).

At any rate, yes, some people do believe that the world will end in 2012. New Age groups and conspiracy theorists are more likely to seriously believe that than anyone else. I don't know if there's any correlation between Asperger's disorder and belonging to groups like that, though. Most people who talk about it are probably only interested because the whole 2012 thing has been on TV a lot.

EDIT: Harold Camping apparently did revise and say that the world was still going to end in October even though the rapture hadn't happened. Well, it still didn't, so yeah.

I've known about this B.S. for years, if nothing happens, the naysayers will make something happen.

I like to think it will be a new 'age'. I.E. you've had different periods in time, and maybe 2012 will be the new period. We've come along way in 10 years, let alone 100, as we constantly evolve so quickly.

But yeah, it's rubbish. Nothing will happen, so people who will be denied by this will probably end up being on the news after throwing themselves in front of trains or something...YAWN! Less ignorant idiots to worry about. NEXT!

Well I wish somebody would tell the politicians so they could spare us the agony of 12 more months of campaigning for president.

If Sarah Palin does get elected, the world won't end there and then. Maybe in a couple years in her reign of terror, maybe?

After that, you need a black woman president, then a non-US president and then history will be complete!

I've actually read Daniel Pinchbeck. I think the book was called break open the head and the return of quetzalcoatl. I got lost in it and don't understand what heist saying but I find the psychadelics interesting to read about. He gets really new age at some points that is becomes very hard for me. He is also into the 2012 stuff. But he isn't talking about the end of the world but an age I guess. I'm not saying I believe that or that psychedelic experiences but I like the adventures or idea of going into other worlds.

9 Nov 2011 FEMA, DHS and FCC will conduct the first national test of the
Nationwide Emergency Alert System (EAS) test. The test kicks off at 2:00 p.m.(EST) and is nationwide, running concurrently across all time zones.
This system test is the first of its kind and is designed to broadcast a nationwide message to the American public. Nothing like it has been conducted in the history of the country. There have been tests in the past but none to all parts of the Nation at the same time. The test will run concurrently on all radio and TV band and the message will run for three
minutes. Most messages in the past were anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute. During the test, listeners will hear a message indicating that "This is a test." Although the EAS Test may resemble the periodic, monthly EAS tests that most Americans are already familiar with, there will be some differences in what viewers will see and hear. The audio message will be the same for all EAS participants; however due to limitations in the EAS, the video test message scroll may not be the same or indicate that "this is a test."

Of course there is concern that citizens somehow over react to the test.

I'd post links, but my post count is too low and the system won't let me.

My 11 years-old was reading about the Maya culture and found the 2012 apocalypse theory. She asked me if that was true. I told her that yeah, it is true they thought that, but I did not believe anything like that wold really happen, not next year at least. She replied "I hope so, because I am too young to die". She was laughing, but she looked a little scared, so I think she is an Aspie a little afraid about the 2012 BS.

Already happening. They found a variant of Stuxnet on the networks of multiple multi-national corporations. Industrial espionage at work.
