in the past decade there has been a so called end of the world date, if im not mistaken, i seem to remember alot of publicity surrounding that when i was much younger.
i cant remember the exact date, but that didnt happen, so 2012 wont.
all these rumours are exaggerated through the media, and thats why people get scared, personally it gets on my nerves having to see constant exaggerations on how our earth will come to an end, if anything the end of the world will come when the sun life span comes to an end, when it has converted all its hydrogen into helium,and it goes into this so called "red giant" phase and it burns earth to a cinder.
to me thats more believable than something someone predicted thousands of years ago, because it cant have an unlimited supply of hydrogen, and so like our resources, it will run out eventually, but we dont have to worry about that in our life times.
if that doesnt kill our planet, then future generations will, can anyone say global warming?
