@Moirera Well, it has nothing to do with ignorancy, we live in a planet full of deceptions and lies, crimes, hate, racism, killing, and you are calling me an ignorant? How well are you aware of this planet? There is a lot of truth being deceived by your dear world elites, when someone wants to tell the truth his or her life is being threatened, you have no idea of the amount of secret files that are hidden from the public.

@Moirera Nasa does hide stuff from the public, and so does the government. Dont expect that they are going to admit it, use your brain a little bit, what would happen if they did admit it? World wide mass hysteria. A lot of things are happening now, do a Google search and see what just happened in 8 months! Planet Earth climate is changing, the same thing is happening to the planets in our Solar system.

“I don’t trust this guy or anyone from NASA.” hahaha what? What exactly do Nasa stand to gain by the world ending, and therefore lying to you? Even the Mayans don’t think 2012 is the end, it’s just some nut jobs who saw the calendar finish and claim it meant something other than, they just stopped writing a calander… They had to stop somewhere. I suppose if they wrote another one for another 100 years the world would be ending in 2112 now?

“Religious people need to have the world end to justify their ideologies.”
Hopefully once we start to colonise Mars we can terraform it. Then all the intellectual/rational minded people can set up there and leave the religious/conservative people to let their lust for profits, war and disregard for science (unless said science = money) destroy THEIR world.

What he failed to leave out that when the Mayan Calendar ends the “Gods” from outerspace come back to collect all the gold and sacrifice thousands and thousands of people to appease these “Gods”. Plus, its just two and a half years away. We may get to see it with our own eyes. COOL.

there is no logical evidence that the world is going to end. scientists study “patterns”?? my dad works for nasa and he tells about how much bullshit is released to the press. he says that these “patterns” about the sun and the black hole have changed many times before. the only factual evidence is the mayan calender
