DOOMSDAY 2012! OMFG FTW Options

The way I see it, the world will end a long time from now, when Japan somehow bombs most of the countries, and China and Russia join forces with Japan. Then Japan will break the truce and bomb Hong Kong, with it's convinient harbors, and Russia will finally catch on and will attempt to defeat Japan, but by that time, it'll be too late, cuz Japan will have stolen China's army, and they will crush Russia and China, and then the rest of the world (besides Australia, which decided that they'll rule the world once everyone's in smoking ruins) will beat Japan to the ground, and then bombs Australia, and then everyone dies of intense radiation.

The end.

Hmm, stories like that give me warm fuzzies.... *SNORT*

Sounds like someone has been watching too much "End of the World" flashes.

I always laugh a little when I hear people discussing the end of the world, because simply put the world could end at any time. Theres a whole list of cataclysmic events that could occur and we have no control over most of them. But as for putting a date on it, and a date using a calendar thats millenia old? That's a little ridiculous, as is using coding from ancient books that are meant to have a meaning.

The simple fact is the human brain dislikes disorder, and so tries to make order out of nothingness. If you take Carl Jung's theories on Archetypes that's why many religions have similar ideals, like the sun being a symbol for god. It's also the reason why people see Christ in toast and faces on the moon. So of course someone who's looking for a pattern in a book as long as the bible will find one, it's sheer probabilty that at some point the numbers will line up.

And in any case. What chu gonna do?

To the end of the world? Probably nuclear apocalypse. Am I afraid? Nope. If we die, we die. Can I fight it? Tooth and nail. Will I fight it? Oh yes.

If 2012 really happens...I'll die with my friends, we'll have a ton of fun on December 21st, 2012 (Also Yule!). We're going to throw a party and on December 22nd, 2012, we're going to walk outside at 12:00 AM and scream to the whole world, "FAIL!"

I'll join in in that battlecry. Reverse phsycology tends to work more often than not.
