"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; and the end of the world is evidently approaching."
--Assyrian clay tablet, 2800 B.C.E.
(yes this is legit)

Ahhh oh no, oh noooo aaaah. This is junk. I don't believe anything like this. Unless the world starts ending up like in the movie 2012.

It'll end eventually, but not in anyway we can think of. The Mayan long count calendar and prohpecy say nothing of an "end of the world" it's the end of a cycle and nothing more. Dawn of a new day etc etc etc...
Expect some people to do some batshit insane stuff around the end of the year regardless..
SG344 might hit Earth in the year 2030....or something we haven't even seen yet, you just never know.

I think we have a few trillion years left on this giant ass rock we call our home, and that giant-as-my-fat-uncle ball of gas called the sun :]

I agree. Just cause people long ago (AKA old people) say we are going to die soon, doesn't mean we are.

It's not the sun burning out we gotta worry about, it's natural disasters here, or even us blowing each other up.

Yeah our sun is relatively young, just gotta worry about asteroids, meteors and such.

Well, I had done research into this supposed end of the world for many months when I first heard about it.. All that is happening is the Mayan calendar reaching it's end, nothing more.. All the hype came from Hollywood with this "2012" movie, and a fan website selling survivor tickets to some unknown island to prepare for the end of the world. The world is in no way ending anytime soon. The only thing garinteed is a few billion years in the future when the sun turns red giant and consumes most of the planets in this solar system.
