I know there are a lot of educated people on this forum. So what's your guys' take on the whole 2012 end of the world thing?
I remember first hearing about 2012 when I was 10 or so (12 years ago) from my brother who used to listen to Art Bell a lot. Even at a such a young age I didn't buy it completely, but I found it pretty interesting and left it at that.
Then, what, 5-6 years later? It goes mainstream and starts blowing up. 2012 this, 2012 that. 2012 books, 2012 movies. Apparently even Jesus moved his return date up to December 21st, 2012 when he heard the news just 'cause he thought it'd be cool.
I figure when it comes to this thing you can have 1 of 3 views
1. It's bullshit
2. You buy it completely (my mom fits into this category)
3. You can't deny it completely because sure, it's possible. However, as each day passes and you see how more and more fucked the USA and the world as a whole is becoming, you think it's pretty strange that it's all coincidentally happening as we're approaching this "special" date.
To be honest, I have this weird feeling that it'd just be strange if we actually make it through the entirety 2012. Like the destruction of our species on that date (or around that time) seems so fitting for some reason.
I guess you could say I'm actually looking forward to it since I have pretty strong feelings of misanthropy, especially lately.
