What will happen in 2012

Post by bblankfein »

Hello.
I am interested in 2012, notably - the Mayan prophecy about the end of the world 12.21.2012. Many people talk about it now, besides, the movie comes out soon. I'm interested to read something about it. Disclosing this theme.
Advise me some articles please.

Thank you

Have you ever heard of doing a search on Google?

Just go to - http://www.google.com

DUH!!!

Then simply type in 2012 and a whole bunch of web site links will show up.

I come up with - Results 1 - 10 of about 179,000,000 for 2012.

Then just click on any one of many web site links.

There are web sites about the movie, and some You Tube videos. There is all kinds of information about 2012.

Some people are saying that on 2012, as a result of the precession of the earth's rotational axis, on December 21 or 2012, the sun will appear to be lined up with the galactic center and it will spell disaster, the end of the world as we have known it.

But after I have done my own study of the subject, I think the end of the world scenario is just a bunch of hooey!

That is because, the processional cycle takes about 26,000 years to complete, so every 26,000 years the earth and sun line up the same way, and the last time we had this alignment was about 26,000 years ago, and it's obvious that the world did not end just simply because the earth and sun lined up with the galactic center.

The earth is about 4.5 billion years old. That is 4,500,000,000 years, and since 4,500,000,000 divided by 26,000=173076.92307692307692307692307692

Then, the earth has gone through approximately 173,077 processional cycles during the last 4.5 billion years, and as we all can see, the earth has survived every one of them pretty much in tact.

So, what the Hell is so different about this one that it would bring about the end of the world?

Now, in the past, there have been many cycles of global warming and global cooling, many ice ages, and some major world wide extinction events, for example, an asteroid collided with the earth causing the dinosaurs to become extinct about 60 million years ago.

There have been a few other major world wide extinction events, but they occur on average about every few-hundred million years or so. There was a major volcanic eruption about 600,000 years ago the pretty much fucked up the whole earth, and the earth has recovered from every one of these events.

But there has never been any major disasters that have occurred every 26,000 years.

So, this processional cycle is the same as the last one 26,000 years ago, and the one 26,000 years before that, and the one 26,000 years before that, and so on, and so on, and so on.

If the world as we have known it does end soon, it will probably be because we were stupid enough to stage a nuclear war or something! So, we do have the means to end the world.

Of course, the planet will still be here, although badly damaged, it's just that we won't be here, so for us, the world would have come to an end, just like the world came to an end for the dinosaurs 60 million years ago.

However, we do have a choice in the matter. We can choose to NOT have a nuclear war thus choosing NOT to end our present world.

We also have an advantage over the dinosaurs.

Someday, another asteroid will be on a collision course with the earth. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

But we can develop the means of altering the course of an approaching asteroid if we act soon enough when we know that one is coming, thus preventing another major extinction event.

We can send probes out into space.

The dinosaurs could not!

So, when December 21,2012 comes along, 11 days later you can look forward to a Happy New Year on January 1,2013 assuming that you don't do something stupid like getting drunk and getting behind the wheel of a car and wrapping your SUV about 21 times around a telephone pole or some other stupid shit or something!

OK???

The Mayans performed human sacrifices. So, I can assume that "prophetic" statements they supposedly made are reliable? Are you kidding? Oh, wow. Our latest spammer says that a movie is coming out? Well, now, that settles it! We all know that Hollywood is the source of all truth, don't we. What a bunch of baloney! It's amazing what some people will believe.

In Hollywood, most of them are puke-breath anorexics who model the latest clothing styles in a size zero or a size -2 and they eat nothing but lettuce leaves and tofu, which explains why they are such bubble-headed bimbos with the IQ of a steam iron!

A recent article I have read in a medical journal says that eating a lot of tofu can cause dementia.

Also, due to the total lack of essential Omega 3 fatty acids in their diets from not eating fish, because they are vegans who are members of PETA who refer to fish as "sea-kittens" it is no wonder why Hollywood is the Retard Capital of the West Coast, and a citadel and sanctuary for total morons with too much money and too little brains.

We're talking about bimbos who purge after every meal.

And they are making a movie predicting how the world might end???

I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Penn and Teller debunked it on their show Bullshit. People believe the world will end on 2012 because the Mayan calendar ends there. This is not because they saw the end of the world, but (so I've heard) because it was the start of a new Mayan calendar/cycle.

Now that makes sense.

The Mayan calender is actually the most sophisticated and the most accurate calender there is, even more accurate than the calender we use today.

Also, the Mayan used a base 20 number system. We use the decimal system which is base 10 since we count on our fingers. The Mayans counted on fingers and toes, so their number system is base 20, and they used a symbol that is the equivalent of our zero so just like our number system, their number system also has place value.

We use Arabic numbers, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and we added the 0 some centuries later. The number zero is actually a Hindu concept.

In the ancient Chinese oracle, the I Ching (pronounced Yee Jing) there are 64 hexagrams made up of solid Yang lines and broken Yin lines.

________________ = Yang

_______ _______ = Yin

The 64 hexagrams is actually a binary code! If we assign the value of 0 to the solid Yang lines and a value of 1 to the broken yin lines then the 64 hexagrams would have a value of 0 to 63 in binary.

000000=0 111111=63

The binary code is just simply 1s and 0s. Binary means base 2. Computers use the binary code because a computer only has 2 "fingers" to count on. A micro-switch is either off or on, or 0 or 1. So, a computer is simply made up of millions and billions of micro-switches turning on and off. Another words, a computer is a box full of Yins and Yangs!

So, I'm really surprised that the Chinese didn't invent the computer before we did, because they already had a binary code thousand of years before we used it for our computers.

I once designed a computer program in Basic for a Commodore 64 computer to consult the ancient I Ching Oracle. It would generate the 64 hexagrams at random. The I Ching is excellent for computers.

Well, here we go talking about numbers!

I imagine Polite24 will attempt to post something here about numbers and make a total ass of himself!

He uses his own number system, comprising of one number (nine) which is usually doubled up and precedes a percentage sign. :P

I am unsure what will happen on 2012, maybe this could be a good excuse for getting someone cheaper Christmas presents. Though part of me thinks maybe North Korea or Iran will do something stupid.

2012 will be another election year. A Presidential election year.

If Sarah Palin should decide to run for president in 2012, then it will be the end of the world!!!

Sarah Palin is a moron!!!

Here are a couple of cute songs about Sarah Palin on You Tube.

These two songs were created a few months before the election, so now they are out-dated since John McCain and Sarah Palin did not win the election.

But the songs, although out-dated, they are still relevant because the songs are about her stupidity.

Here is the You Tube link to the first song.

Her Stupidity Flows (Sarah Palin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gQdCHDuags

And here is the lyrics to the first song.

Her Stupidity Flows (Sarah Palin)
This right-witch is so unqualified
I feel like reason has just up and died
How he'd pick her as his running mate
How can this moron be a candidate

It starts in her toes and goes up to her nose
Her stupidity flows, yes it really shows
How could no one have stopped her
She shoots wolves from a copter
How dose she fit a gun into those pantyhose

Even if you're OK with McCain
You have to see this woman's got no brain
She made the victims buy their own Rape Kits
Dan Quayle would crush her in a game of wits

It starts in her toes and goes up to her nose
Her stupidity flows, yes it really shows
Joe'd have to finish that six pack
to make sense of this she-quack
it has taken her long
to be completely exposed

What is there left to say
It's an all-you-can-eat dumb buffet
I just . . . hmmm . . .

It starts in her toes then she crinkles her nose
Her stupidity flows, yes it really shows
With that wink and that smile
oh, she is so vile, now
She can't name one case
other than Wade vs Role

It's great that she's learned to say "maverick"
but she's more like a viper from that "Top Gun" flick
She's Bush and Cheney in a drag disguise
An Axis Of Evil runs between her thighs

It starts in her toes and goes up to her nose
Her stupidity flows, yes it really shows
With that wink and that smile
oh, she is so vile, now
What would she do, well God only knows

Whatever, we'll never, we'll never bestow
the title of V. P. on this Arctic shmo



Here is the You Tube link to the second song.

Hey Sarah Palin (with lyrics/subtitles)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DIc8jdra0o&NR=1

And here is the lyrics to the second song.

Hey Sarah Palin
Hey, Sarah Palin, do you tell them in Wasilla
that 4000 years ago we roamed the planet with Godzilla?
Is it true?
I am so fuckin' scared of you
as number two!

Hey, Sarah Palin I think Alaska's very pretty
but just 100,000 people more than Oklahoma City.
Yes, it's true.
Go look it up. I'm telling you.
Oh man, we're through!

Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, it's Canada for me.
Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, it's Canada for me.
It's Canada for me.

Hey Sarah Palin, did you really once inquire
whether you could throw library books into a big bonfire?
Oh God, my eyes!
This really might be our demise.
This pack of lies.

Hey Sarah Palin, just because you're good at shootin'
doesn't mean you have the ammo to negotiate with Putin.
Are you on coke?
This fuckin' country's up in smoke!
Oh, what a joke!

Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, what will it mean for me?
Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, what will it mean for me?

Just because I can see the moon
doesn't make me an astronaut, you loon!
Your foreign policy expertise is poo!

Do you really think a woman commits
to a candidate just because she has tits?
Please tell me that this ticket is not true!

I thought that there could be no worse
than Chaney, but here you are, I curse
the madman who would cast a vote for you
and McCain too.

Hey Sarah Palin, is it media distortion
or would you tell a girl who's raped
that she could not have an abortion?
It's a new low.
Who knows just how far you would go?
I'd rather vote for Ross Perot.
Hey Sarah Palin, I don't know.
Where can we go?

Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, it's Canada for me.
Oh, if you become V. P.
oh, it's Canada for me.
It's Canada for me.


I thank God that John McCain and Sarah Palin did not get voted in.

But when 2012 comes, Sarah Palin might have a chance to run for President instead of just settling for running for Vice-President.

And if she did become President, then all the books will be burned, the libraries will be shut down, rape-gangs will go into all the poor neighborhoods and ghettos because they know that poor women who have been raped can't afford to pay for cost of the rape kits used to collect forensic evidence against their assailants, so the rapists know they will be able to get away with their crimes since no evidence against them can be collected since their victims can't afford to cover the cost of the rape kits.

And so, after 2012, the skies will glow red from the burning of books, libraries, and schools while rape gangs will roam the city streets.

So, in that case, 2012 will be the end or the world as we have known it, the end of civilization.

The planet will still be here, but we will all be living in caves, banging two rocks together to make a fire and going UGGAH! UGGAH! UGGAH!

Yeah! The year 2012 could very well be the end for all of us!

Why thank you! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D I think. :) :) :)

Yes, the present alignment of the sun and earth with the galactic center is no different than the one that happened 26,000 years ago, and the one before that, etc. etc.

People use to go into a panic when ever a comet appeared. They though it was some kind of omen that something terrible was going to happen, something like a plague, a famine, or a war.

Then, when people would panic, they would often do stupid things to cause some kind of disaster. Wars have actually been started because of an appearance of a comet.

But the comet didn't cause it. We caused it.

We are very good at making self-fulfilling prophecies. We get scared that something terrible is going to happen, then we panic, and riot, and then we make terrible things happen.

It's like the old superstition that walking under a ladder will bring you bad luck. So, some guy who is superstitious sees a ladder leaning up against a building, and to avoid walking under it, he walks around it, stepping out into the street, and gets hit by a bus or a taxi or something. He would have been better off just walking under the ladder.

No, the only thing that scares me about 2012 is that Sarah Palin might run for President, and win!

Now, that really scares the ever-livin' bee-jeebers outta me!!!
