2012 Prophecies Sparking Real Fears, Suicide Warnings

neanderthals weak minded people, change will always come, like it or not the universe and everything around us changes and rearanges but the thinking earthlings unknowingly or knowingly will make a way, not give up on life, like the nonthinkers non creators on this planet.

im glad dysgenics is fulfilling itself within the feeble minded.

Oh come on. The world was supposed to end a thousand times over by now.

If anything why not try to do more? I am tired of hearing about people who believe in the Armageddon prediction and think that it is a good idea to kill themselves before it happens. I normally don't criticizes people on their beliefs, but this is just messed up. Especially the women who thought about doing it to her family because she didn't want her kids to suffer.

Mayan calender used wheels as a method for keeping time but not in the ways of hauling like in draft horses and other beasts .. these animals were none to be found in the New World. It's true, however, that the roads they traveled were not custumed to rugged typed wheel vehicles. Egypt was highly advanced and was fine without using wheeled transportation as well but eventually did, in 2nd period Egypt, find use of wheels after being invaded and like the Mayans also their pyramids were well in place before it's development. You suggest Mayan peoples were barbaric or I think you meant they were savages. Barbarians, unruly, antisocial, and uncivilized as they may of been don't meet your description quite, because they were invaders of an empire at the time who was the elite class or kingdom were these outlanders invading? Rome or Yuan dynasty and Qing dynasty of China all had barbarians hoards that crushed empires. That is the only way to be dubbed as barbaric. They were not invaders but if they are savage then you are entitled to that.

I believe you were perhaps given the image from a certain Mel Gibson directed film that the culture you see in the movie you mistake as being the absolute religion known at the time but do you know that during this decadence period of Southern Mexico and the Yucatan that society under the priesthood order all too desperate to keep instilled a propped belief structure for their subjects that all people hoped for one day is their worshiped gods return to save them by giving them a new way to live. They waited for the same gods that abandoned them many centuries earlier following decades of drought and adding to whatever mystery devastations that became of the civilizations centuries before the arrival of Spain. About those tribes in the 1600's, ..technically speaking that is, they were known at that time as Aztec but were of a Mayan origin mostly adopting the round shaped calendar Mayans use. Maybe you need a book or sit down and read the internet because it might bring some closure to your undereducated superstition that your smart or something.

The Mayans were barbarians.They couldn't even invent the wheel.Great job stacking rocks though! Anyone who believes this crap(especially after The Millenium Crisis) is truly an idiot.

Such controversy, I saw this coming some ten years ago...

Whether or not a 2012 doom prophecy is true,... human panic is very true, and can itself be very devastating. So,... we'll see.
But,... end-of-days thought is not that wacko of a concept. Nothing lasts forever. People die. Societies rise and fall. Humans will one day go extinct. The Earth will eventually disintegrate. The Sun will die out. Our solar system will be absorbed, demolished or rebuilt.
But as for the immediate,... humans have demonstrated very powerful behavior. We can cause extinction, disease, weather changes, nuclear reactions, we can alter DNA, we can split atoms, we traverse space, et cetera. It's not crazy to think that we may be the death of ourselves. And it's not unthinkable to think that humans have the power to severely alter Earth's natural progression.
Past prognosticators may have recognized our inevitable demise and the demise of celestial bodies. We're just getting hung up on specifics.

No such thing as the end of the world. A shift perhaps. Evolution maybe. An awakening or tuning in hopefully. A galactical alignment... and also an alignment within ourselves as individuals, since each one us is the center of the universe. Back to the essence of what we are. It's good to be open. If you're truly living in the moment and paying attention to how events and time feels, I'd say that I really recognize things as different even right now as we are heading for that date. As trueforyou said, go inside yourself and really pay attention to how you feel. And how you effect your environment. Everything revolves around you and your thoughts and actions. We have to be the change that is in the air now. Don't look to 2012, It is that time now.

we should change the world... lets?? or no? aha

I really thought it was cool when we started the new millennium and the earth was totally destroyed. Remember???

Do we always have to be scared of something, earth quakes, pandemics, 1988, 2000, etc...and now 2012? We are are mortal creatures on this planet and we all going to die one day or night and when the time comes, nothing matters. Every day of life is a precious gift, we have to live it to the best, while we are alive. Omar Khayam (Persian poet) in one of his poems says; tomorrow that we depart from this ruined temple, we will be equal to those who passed seven thousand years ago.

wow, that's going way to far, doesn't the mayan calendar end in 3000? why wouldn't you want to be around at the end of the world anyways? even if the world did end, wouldn't that be the best way to go because your gonna die with your family so your not gonna go to heaven all alone(if you don't believe in heaven i guess you'll be all alone, sorry). Anyways, haven't there been lots of other ancient prophecies that say the world was to end in like 1970 and 2000? So you can never be sure. My advice, get on with your day and don't morn the future think what gonna happen with your life alone:)

I don't believe Mayans seriously thought the "world is GOING TO END" because there would be no point to write this down unless, and only if, you have a prepared spaceship to flee this pop stand and in that case say hi to grandma for me because it's getting a little late in here to think of leaving. What I suggest is anyone that's feeling somewhat cRaZY to calm down a little and swallow your meds because Oh My God-the sky is falling-get outta the way! Where am I going? Something is really HAPPENING but it's just that I don't think or pretend that it's NOT HAPPENING or that I KNOW it won't KILL MANY of us. My guess is global ice age. Just a hunch. Sorry that my opinion may look cold.

The world ends for someone every hour of every day.

The world is going to END in 2012. If you beleave that then by all means kill yourself now and save yourself from the hell that will be 2012. Please do it over yonder so I don't have to hear your screams.

the Mayans did not predict 2012 would be the end of the world..in fact their calender records dates after this one...they were pointing towards the moving planetary cycles coming into alignment once again..to move the galactic clock forward...no need to panic..at the end of the day you will either still be here or not?

Kind of like you are right now.

I remember when everybody was bugging out at the end of 1999 when alot of CRAZY STUFF was gonna happen , nobody is thinking like LETS MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE BY 2012 , MORE PEOPLE WANNA RIDE THE RIDE BUT VERY FEW WANNA DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ? TALK THE BUT CAN'T WALK THE WALK , BUT WHAT THEY DO BEST IS COMPLAIN & WHINE LIKE MOST PEOPLE DO ON CURRENT !

Please try and understand 2012 for what it is and don't dismiss it as some whacko conspiracy. It is one of the most exciting things that we will live to see. Close your eyes, be silent and breathe. Focus on nothing other than the sound of life flowing in and out of your body. Immerse yourself, become one with nature. Acknowledge the ancient wisdom inside you and find meaning in knowing that we are all connected. to each other and our planets.

understand that 2012 has been a long time coming. This is true. There is an interplanetary alignment occurring NOW. It will be complete in 2012 and I promise, you will feel it. The world will not end. But we can only hope that the world as we know it does. This is the test of humanity. To realize our small role in the grander scheme of the cosmos.

dont listen to me. look into it, and look inward. We will either rise to the opportunity to join together and experience this world as it was meant to be, evolving, and forever expanding human consciousness, or... we will continue to sell our minds, bodies and souls for cheap. and laugh with tears in our eyes, as our lives are quietly signed over to the banks.
anybody? anybody?

Let them kill themselves, get rid of all the nutters.

My all time favorate is"88 reasons why Jesus will return in 1988".

I'm just getting pumped for the party. We've already started saving. If it is the end of the world, might as well go out with a bang, right?

It amazes me how much these stupid prophesies scare people, to the point of wanting to kill themselves and their children (I think Child Services might want to look in on those 2 mothers). Most people don't even realize how many doomsday prophesies have been made already: anyone remember Y2K not even 10 years ago? I do. I remember January 1st, 12:00 AM and 1 second coming and saying to me and my drunk friends who were convinced we were all gonna die "Well, Im not dead, you people so are retarded" as I proceeded to vomit then pass out on my friends floor.

Its funny, most people dont realize how close weve come to destruction without it being prophesised. In 1991, a Russian Nuclear early warning system malfunctioned and said a full scale attack was being launched from the US. The Russian missiles were 2 minutes from being launched from their silos when a Russian Major noticed the mistake, and Armageddon was averted.

Life is something that only happens once, make the best of it people, and please don't kill your children.

hmm should i be concerned or thankful?

has it not already been proven that the Mayans stopped making calendars because they had calculated them for such a long frigging time into the future that they didn't see the need for any more??

THE WORLD ENDS DECEMBER 31 2009!

Oh wait, i just need a new calendar.

let 'em kill themselves, i could use a job making trophy's for the darwin awards.

Never understood the logic of committing suicide because the world was going to end.
Anybody else know what I mean?
Is it the fear of suffering part?
It just seems illogical.

Edgar Cayce has some pretty interesting predictions regarding this (http://www.theastralworld.com/prophecies/edgar-cayce-predictions.php).

Specifically that the magnetic poles on earth have changed in the past and will invert once again. I am not sure what to think of it all, but I definitely believe that due to our relatively short lives on Earth we do not completely fathom the subtle and not so subtle aging processes of our planet, even with modern scientific method taken into account (man is fallible, after all). It will be interesting to see what happens.

Gotta give them a little but of credit, the world would be a boring place without nut cases.

i like mire's post.

But i think this story sounds hyped up. If someones going to say, "Yeah I might as well kill myself to avoid the end of the world." I can't see them being 100% serious. It sounds like an exaggeration.

I think people are making too big of a deal of this 2012 on both sides. People should freak out. And people shouldn't freak out about people freaking out.

The human ability to create and generate random stupidity will never cease to amaze me...

Isn't every day a possible day for the end of the world? What's most important is that each and every one of us realize that Armageddon or not,don't waste time.Live your life to the fullest in every moment,and when you're time comes it comes.At least you won't have to feel a sense of dread over the fact that you sat around every day like a bump on a log filled with fear.The late great Paramahansa Yogananda said: "Live each present moment completely and the future will take care of itself.Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each instant." The world has already gone to hell in a hand basket and frankly we're not getting any closer to a resolution when there is a possible 40,00 more troops being shipped off to war.People spend too much time worrying about the apocalypse and not enough time thinking what they could do today to make the word a better place.The end is inevitable anyway.Suck it up.Deal with it.Start living today!

The totally heartless side of me says to let morons dispose of themselves if they are so inclined. The realistic side of me has compassion for those lacking the education to realize their stupidity.

Who wouldn't be scared!? The Mayan are such a credible bunch...I mean, look at them now, their well developed society and- wait... The Myans are gone

Y2K 2: Electric Boogaloo!

I've heard of this prophecy a while back. I really don't know what to think of it. It doesn't scare me but I'm just seeing how this prophecies are accurate one by one. I mean the bible was written a long time ago and in the book of revelation you'll see that those prophecies are becoming true and those events stated in there are currently happening. But people shouldn't get too scared and go wacko. Just hope for the best i guess??
