It's not going to happen. I was fascinated by this theory at first but every programme I've watched on it, they've all said it's a hoax and nothing will happen.

2012 isn't the end of the world, it's just the end of the Mayan Calender, if there was any serious and true astrological threats we'd be aware of it by now. The only eerie thing of note is the solar flare that's supposed to happen in 2012 but that's not gonna kill us all, it'll just mess with our technology a bit, and even that is an if as the media likes to report on the worst possible scenario instead of being realistic. Just look at Swine Flu and Bird Flu, half of us should be dead if the media was to be believed about it.

Yeah, its just a bunch of idiots. Just look at the video that I posted. They can't prove anything. Scientists and everyone in that kind of field say that nothing will happen.

I wonder how many people will kill themselves because they believe all of this is really gonna happen? Thats quite scary.

Yeah there's no denying there will be a mass number of suicide cases in December 2012.

I can't wait though until that night because it'll be such a ******ing epic atmosphere.

Everyone will be like partying and that and breaking the law.

And the funniest thing will be if nothing happened and so many people ended up in jail for robbing off-licence shops and that

Yeah about that Solar Flare, would we all go without internet for years then after that?

That will be one massive challenge for everyone I'm sure, we will realise how much we rely on the internet and television.. will that be gone too?

Nof if anything happens it'll probably be a blip rather then some catastrophe, it'll end up being that your internet goes a bit slower for a few minutes and your phone becomes a bit crackly

There's nothing to worry about, if this Solar flare was a serious threat then Nasa and them lot would not be sittting around picking their noses they'd be working on something to protect the phone lines and such.

I don't belive it will happen but there are people who DO want it to happen, There is also the chance that a man made event could trigger the end of the world (War , technology etc)

Why the panic about the end of the Mayan Long Count( the big wheel calendar)? It isnt the first time it has ended, stella and codex found at various sites show they held the belief there were previous counts before and also intended to have counts after it.

This is a bit like primary school children seeing the calendar on the notice board at school only goes up to the end of december, and declaring the world will end on the 31st because there is nothing after it.

As for the solar flares, in the 19th century during a similar period of increased solar activity telegraph wires were burnt out in several countries. However since then telephone wires, energy power lines etc are now protected against surges in the energy they carry and external power surges like EMP(electromagnetic pulses)

There is the potential for certain types of radio communication to be disrupted, like HF radio because of the disruption that may be caused to the Ionosphere by solar flare activity, however this will eventually settle and right itself.

Aw. I love how easily scared people are.

Planet X will not hit us, if there was ever any real danger the press would be all over it. I've heard every theory about 2012 from ****ty documentaries to my deluded step brother did you know another theory was that Maddas (Saddam backwards) is meant to take over the World and destroy us all too? So where the **** is this Maddas? It's lies and people are using it to scare people for merchandising and unfortunately Patrick you've walked straight in to it.

Actually I was only asking for other peoples opinions and thoughts, I have had mixed opinions on the whole doomsday thing since I heard about a few years back, I keep hearing about this Y2K thing that you pointed out.,

I may go and research it now.

Good excuse to not fork out on expensive Christmas presents. Come Christmas day 2012, Lucy where's my present? Oh sorry babes spent my money on better things at the time incase we weren't here
