Face Palmer User ID: 1149868 Germany 12/11/2012 05:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | what? "The world will soon wake up to the reality that everyone is broke and can collect nothing from the bankrupt, who are owed unlimited amounts by the insolvent, who are attempting to make late payments on a bank holiday in the wrong country, with an unacceptable currency, against defaulted collateral, of which nobody is sure who holds title." Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. The woman who is not pursued sets up the doctrine that pursuit is offensive to her sex, and wants to make it a felony. No genuinely attractive woman has any such desire. - H.L. Mencken, In Defense Of Women |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 4914062 United States 12/11/2012 05:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm curious what explanation you lunatics are going to have 11 days from now when everyone is sure that the world hasn't ended. Quoting: Skeptic 12430998 Will you say that the date calculation was wrong and we should just wait another 2 or 3 more years? Will you say that the world actually did end in a metaphorical sense? Will you say that the world actually did end and the new reality is only perceptible to the truly enlightened? (I.e. you irrational, deluded lunatics) The world is screwed up, and I hate it. I'll admit that, but predicting the exact date it will end or change I think is a little foolhardy. I can see it now. On 12-21-12...all the doom-tards will be waiting the day out for something to happen. As NOTHING happens they will be on here saying ..well theres still 5hours left...oh wait now...theres still 2hours left....dont speak so soon...theres still 30 min left...etc etc etc. I will be here lighting these retards up....cant wait. Its going to be soooo much fun. |

Your life already ended, when you are the chosen seed,out of the 200 million being shot whit a single ejaculation. You/we live in a slave world, ruled by slavers. But the funny thing is, most slaves have no idea that they are slaves. If 21 December is real, I'm happy. but offcourse it's not the end. It's only he beginning of the end. Then GLP is correct after 1000s of failed predictions. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1110734 United States 12/11/2012 05:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When the world doesn't end, my worst fear is that people stop preparing for a disaster. A whole lot of people who bought into this 2012 thing will feel stupid and they'll waste the food supplies that they purchased. Probably a lot of them don't eat rice and beans to begin with. Rather than waste that food, if they're not going to seriously prepare, then I hope that they'll donate it to a food bank, and it will go into the bellies of hungry children. The best thing that could happen would be that scene in Arthur Clark's 2010 when people realize that there is life on other planets and how sacred life is in general. If we could see in our folly that we're all essentially the same, and we could laugh at ourselves with true mirth, then maybe we'd be more forgiving for other cultures and try to create positive ways of fostering peace. Every day is a new one, and an opportunity to start anew. We don't have to wait for New Year's Day. Tomorrow could be the first real moment when we embraced life and lived life to the fullest. Much of that new life would be about creating things with our own hands, teaching others skills so they could too, and finding solutions to real problems. What if, we'd simply back out of the Middle East, and let them solve their own problems. Let's worry more about fixing our own nation's issues with energy, education, renewing the land, creating long sustainable jobs, finding ways to support incentives for investment in our own nation versus taxes that help no one but only encourage government jobs with little oversight. What if on Dec 22, 2012, you went up to the person who's angry with you and said, "You know, I messed up. I said some things that really hurt you. I wish we could repair this old friendship. It used to be very valuable. Let's start again." What if on Dec 22, 2012, you decided to dig up much of that grass lawn that isn't doing you any good and costs you time and effort and gas to cut, and planted herbs, vegetables, fruit, nut trees? You planned it out as well as you could learn. You bought inexpensive seed and cheap tools. Then you asked for help working it (when it got warmer) from your friends and relatives and shared the bounty. Then you learned how to preserve it so you knew it was good safe food free from pesticides. What if on Dec 22, 2012, you stopped watching pointless tv shows and instead decided to read those classic books of literature that you always intended? What if you decided to actually create some art by painting? What if you built something useful? What if you spent some time learning a skill from your friends and in return you taught them a skill? What if on Dec 22, 2012 you remembered that you fell in love with someone? Their body and face changed and aged, but so did yours. What if you decided to see the person they used to be, the soul that is still inside them, not the shell on their exterior? What if you decided to stop spending money on clothes, jewelry, nail salons, hair appoitments, and instead exercised, ate right, and invested money in yourself and your partner? What if you decided to massage them three times a week just to treat them with kindness, respect, and affection? Imagine a world where everyone did that. It would be a beautiful place. |

Let's look at things a different way. Is it possible that there is a rhythm to reality? And if there was, what would that rhythm be? :frctlfrn: A fern GROWS in a pattern, which is called a fractal. :frctltr: So do trees. Every single tree that ever existed, existed as a fractal representation of the universe that it was born into. :rus.dolls: People reproduce in a fractal pattern. :dnrdng: DNA's path of information emulates... :plntrysprlmtn: ...the planets and stars path of information, in a self similar fashion at different scales. :brnvltn: The growth of the human brain emulates... :wrldppltn: The growth of the "global brain". Thread: The Global Brain And human consciousness, since the inception of the universe has grown in a pattern. :mayantempl: :Mpyramid: Thread: The Contact Thread ~ The Magic Of Our Fractal Reality ~ Wanna Take A Ride? (version 20.13) A universe that at its largest scale that we can detect, emulates the structure of the human brain... :universe: :cells: So it's not some future point that fascinates me. It's what already HAS and IS happening that does. ------ |
