I feel there will be a lot of crime days prior to this because people didn’t buy their supplies and a panic will occur. I think this is all a mental and psychological hurdle that people will have to get over. I can honestly say, I am looking forward to December 22, 2012 just so people can stop talking about this.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06077924344268800628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-65528453532227846472012-04-18T19:21:48.858-07:002012-04-18T19:21:48.858-07:00Welp, people that truly believe the world will end...Welp, people that truly believe the world will end that day can stop wearing condoms this month, I guess. <br /><br />But every other sensible person will continue living their lives according to their plan. December 21, 2012 will come but so will December 22. . I think people just like talking about the "end of the world" and how sick their "end of the world" parties are going to be. I think it's ridiculous that some people actually believe the world will end that soon. Oh well. I'm fortunate to have a functioning brain.Zachary Perkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08977947867059520793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-49487858972313379092012-04-18T09:53:53.530-07:002012-04-18T09:53:53.530-07:00I just visited Mexico (Cozumel) over spring break ...I just visited Mexico (Cozumel) over spring break and was able to see some of the Mayan ruins while I was there. The tour guide that showed us around and gave us a history of Mayan culture said that those that are advocating the end of the Mayan calender indicates the end of the world are just uneducated and have not done their research. The Mayan calender was only set up to cover 5,000 years. After such time, the Mayan calender resets, which does not indicate the end of the world, only that a 5,000 year cycle has ended. Those that have used this to fabricate a story in which the end of the world is on its way are only doing so for their own gain. When I began the tour, I expected to hear the tour guide spout out a bunch of garbage about the end of the world, but it was refreshing to hear that those at ground zero have not drank the Kool Aide that some of the idiots around the world have drank.Chris Whelchelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313497245275075580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-78007157591442054872012-04-17T13:32:56.554-07:002012-04-17T13:32:56.554-07:00I think it's ridiculous that we're still t...I think it's ridiculous that we're still talking about the end of the world in December. That date is gonna pass along with other every other December 21 in the past. I find it hilarious that people are blowing their life savings just to by supplies to prepare for it so they can survive whatever might be coming. These people seriously need to be put in a mental institution. These people are extremely naive and gullible.Alan Siskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08548748763873857880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-72774939307346612772012-04-16T09:25:13.498-07:002012-04-16T09:25:13.498-07:00Law enforcement agencies should approach December ...Law enforcement agencies should approach December 21 with caution, especially because people will go crazy during this day. Im curious why people make such a big deal about this issue. Just because the Mayan calendar ends December 21, 2012 does not mean the world is going to end, it just means they were done with that calendar. If something does happen then it happens but I don't think people should make it a huge issue.Lashanda jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823506724026927405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-53299659858745143792012-04-14T06:56:34.213-07:002012-04-14T06:56:34.213-07:00You know one funny fact that people aren't tak...You know one funny fact that people aren't taking into account is leap day/year. The Mayan calender doesn't account for this because it was invented way later by Ceasar. If you don't count the leap days according to the Mayan calender today is sometime around August of 2013 so it looks like the calender just ends, not the world.Brad Meltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119304789275805920noreply@blogger.com
