2012 - Your thoughts.

[Lost]

The people who truly believe 2012 will occur should not be breeding. What's more, the people who are CHRISTIAN and believe in a CHRISTIAN relation to the MAYAN prediction (which were thousands of miles apart from each other on separate continents) should be put in a padded cell until December 22, 2012.

I posted this in response to a similar thread on Sofurry:


I remember Y2K Preparation classes in my elementary school. Wide eyed, survivalist wackos telling kids their solar powered calculators will do them jack shit in a year. They taught us how to...

Nothing. There was nothing of any real use we gained in those classes. All it was was this:

"FUCK!! THE WORLD WILL END IN 2000!!! NOTHING WILL HELP YOU!!! THE NUKES WILL ALL LAUNCH!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! SLIT YOUR THROATS NOW AND SAVE YOURSELVES THE SUFFERING!! WWAAAUUUUUUUUGHHHH!!!"

These are the same kinds of people who think the Fallout series is a historical documentary.

For the last 100 years, we've been "predicting" the end of the world about every 20 minutes.

• Nicola Tesla's AC current discovery (This was all Edison)
  
• World War I
  
• Great American Dust Bowl
  
• The Great Depression
  
• World War II
  
• The Cold War and Arms Race (for almost 40 years)
  
• Chernobyl
  
• Global Warming
  
• Y2K
  
• Obama
  
• The Large Hadron Collider
  
• The Antichrist
  
• 2012
  

Unlike the others, citizens from the first world believe the Mayan's 2012 prediction is true because they sacrificed virgins and because John Cusack was in a shitty movie about it. Humans get a hard-on for Armageddon. It comes from our religious backgrounds which always preached this apocalyptic bullshit to us from womb to tomb (in Edison's case, it was because he was a dick).

Even before the Industrial Age, we've still been trying to predict the end of the world as far back as recorded history will allow. And when we're not trying to predict the end of the world, we're trying to predict the return of Christ, sometimes several times at the same time. For some reason, it's almost always in the form of some guy with an educational disorder from a branched off religious sect that stockpiles guns and has sex with underaged girls as part of God's will.
