Tom, I couldn’t agree more.

I’m trying with this site to get the point across that we better sit up and pay attention, cuz maybe there’s gonna be a test soon. It doesn’t mean we’ll fail it, and it doesn’t mean we’re doomed, but it sure is time to start taking the lessons seriously. What’s the point of being given challenges and chances to learn and improve if we just squander them? Let’s at least take a “what if” approach and debate what our options are *just in case* the worst actually happens. At the same time, we should live as if we have a future, because the chances are that we do. We just need to take difficult moments in history like the one we’re experiencing now and use them to help us decide what that future ought to look like.

Michelle – you’re right, there have been many times in the past when people predicted the end of the world, and as we all know, the world is still here. Of course, the world DOES have to end sometime, but we don’t really have any way of knowing when that is – scientists think it will be billions of years from now, when the sun finally burns out, and if that’s true, we have plenty of time to figure out a solution. If the earth is hit by an asteroid, WE get wiped out, but the earth will go on and life will reappear eventually. Great for the earth and future life forms, not so great for us. If we blow ourselves up with nuclear weapons, again – life will eventually come back, and with any luck, they won’t have any memory of us, the cosmic screw-ups.

So I guess it depends on what we mean exactly when we say “the world is going to end.” End how? For whom?

I think if anyone out there takes a good hard look at what is happening to the world as far as weather patterns, global economy, and our universe, they might see that there are major changes taking place. This “end date” in december 3 years from now may not be a real thing but i think it is important to pay attention to the changing world around you…and react accordingly. To sit back and pretend like everything is “normal” is kind of foolish…don’t you think?

This is also true. There have been a lot of doomsdays that have been predicted – then come and gone and nothin’. This could very well be another case of that. Another Y2K build up and let down.

Thanks for sharing your opinion, Is…y.

It’s true, no one can tell the future, as far as we know. But I figure it never hurts to get informed as much as possible…come to my own conclusions. Gotta get the information to form an opinion from SOMEWHERE – although if you don’t like the Internet and TV, you can always find a good book on the subject.

All the people who actually believe in this are going to feel really stupid and are listening to the tv and internet to tell them the truth because no one can tell the future.

Well, rubicel, there’s a school of thought that says that WE decide what’s going to happen, based on our own beliefs and actions. So if you feel fatalistic about it, and believe that it’s inevitable that something terrible will happen, you could be unknowingly adding your energy to the eventual, *unpleasant* outcome.

Since the scenarios that indicate the worst is going to happen are a lot less convincing when you really take a good hard look at them, maybe if we all do a little more research into it, we can start feeling positive that our future has good things coming rather than disaster. My take on it is – if you can’t really know one way or the other, expecting the best while preparing for the worst is a nice middle ground to take!
