Is the world really going to end on the 21/12/2012

According to the Mayan Calender we are all going to die on December 21, 2012. I wont even be old enough to legely drink. Does anyone else think that this really sucks or if this is just plain BS.

start drinkin' now, Larry... times running out, ..at least for you...

I believe the Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012 because the guy who made the calendar thought that he was going enough centuries into the future. It turns out he was right cause his society didn't even last to December 21, 2012.

There is a lot of tension going on in the Middle East right now that has a lot of people pointing "2012." With all of the tension with Syria and the slaughter there and Iran's ambitions to wipe Israel off the map, it is extremely likely to cause World War 3. Make no mistake about it, Obama's record of foreign policy towards the Middle East has been avoiding World War 3. However, with slaughter continuing to occur in Syria, and Russia and China continuing to veto action at the UN, it is a growing probability that the situation could strongly destabilize. If any country intervenes in Syria, despite the vetos, the idea of the United Nations will dissolve and so would international diplomacy - forever.

Where? Where does the Mayan Calendar say that we're going to die on 21 Dec 2012? Why does everybody think the Mayans predicted the end of the world? They didn't! And even if they did, SO WHAT? How many times have people predicted the end of the world since the Mayan civilization declined? A million, maybe? How many times have they been right? Exactly zero. Every crackpot who discovers an ancient prophecy thinks he has the inside scoop on the End of Days, and yet they are wrong time after time after time after time.

Here's the scoop: The Maya NEVER predicted the end of the world on 21 Dec 2012. That prediction is solely the product of people living in modern times. Those people want two things: attention and money. Do not be a sucker. There's absolutely NO evidence to suggest that anything globally catastrophic is going to happen in this year or any other. None!
