December 2012

That, and stop watching the History Channel for a couple of years.

Better yet, just get rid of the TV, then you won't have to watch the "news" like balloon boy, politicians mindless ramblings, scripted reality TV,
the stock market, and other nonsense.

Ignorance is bliss, and matapule is VERY blissful!

[surlygirly]

Hear, hear Leo. I cannot watch that stuff for long without fears seeping into my consciousness.

Another idea from the Bible I like to remember is that your eyes are the window to your heart. What you put in front of the eyes can imbed itself in your heart, so "be careful little eyes what you see" is not only for children.

My DH loves to watch post-Armageddon movies, and there are quite a few out there; not just Dr. Strangelove. He was watching a particular one entitled Threads, and I had to leave the room. Too much for me. It took me a week to get the stuff out of my head.

I don't watch the Armageddon shows on the History Channel. But there's really nothing you can do about the commercials. They're there before you can hit the mute button or change the channel. And a lot of people are talking about it lately with the movie having come out. Kind of hard to stick your head in the sand entirely. Besides, it's one of those things that's kind of been at the back of my mind since I was a kid. Crazy, I know.

Now if our elected officials tell us our bad economy will be over in two years, I'd be really worried cuz if 2012 is for real, then Obama's spending has no means to the end, just an end.

I take one of matapule's earlier suggestions, and get my news from HT now!

It is near eschatology getting nearer all the time, the myth of death slowly
arrives in to the now in tangible time; Y2K all over again. But what is true
is only ever in the present, not some myth about the future.

And then if our inquiry is in to the truth, no future time will fix what is not
already here now. So will the planets turn, will the stupid warmongers
continue to screw up the planet? Probably. Are you some kind of god
who can change it? Probably not. So whatever about the future;
its whether one is true to the present, where the love is, where the choice
is about who we are, and what peace and magesty there is in this world.

Then we are only ever alive in this profound moment, and we can change
our minds, our hatreds and our beliefs, or drop them all together. And who
are you behind this moment, but a mysterious ghost who will observe from
a body for a while before it dies. Choose deeply, brother, sister, love
deeply, and 2012 whatever, we share the seasons of the lord.

Meh.

If the world ends, the world ends. No sense trying to save the environment in the first place.

Like every living things, a world is born, ages, then it dies.

I do find it ironic that some people who are trying to save the world and her environment by recycling and stuff, doesn't do the same for their bodies, which is a planet by itself (inhabited by bacteria and whatnot).

As for me personally, I'm hoping the world ends sooner.

[Menehune Man]

Well since...

My wife and I live on Laau Street and the land leases run up in Dec. 2012...
It would kinda work out, don't you say?

HaHaHaHaHaHa, out of breath, at least we won't have to find a new place to live!

Depending on the sources either December 21 or December 23, 2012 is when the Mayan Calendar ends or resets itself after 5,000+ years of keeping track of dates. What happens on or after those dates, well different people have different views of what might happen.

I was just wondering:

Did the Sacred, Intelligent, all-knowing, omniscient Mayan Calendar predict the fall of the Mayan kingdom as well?

From what I've heard (third-hand, and I haven't checked), the Mayans were significantly decimated before the armies of the East (i.e., Europe) even set foot on their shores. When Europeans (Spanish) got there it seems the culture was already significantly in decline.

Did they predict and avoid their own conquest?

Perhaps we'd better watch out!

K!

[craigwatanabe]

Well they apparently vacated their village before any slaughter could have happened.

On Location: Guatemala — Not worried about 2012

Sounds about right...

Searching for a noose, brother?

Nah he's hoping rapture happens before foreclosure.

[craigwatanabe]

I'd stick that on my car.

Nah, too personal. If I have to go, I'm taking some company.

Sorry, but I owe no one but the Tax Man.

[Kaonohi]

Sorry, but I owe no one but the Tax Man.

I think that's backwards. We pay the Taxman, and the Tax Man owes US!

K$

Yeah, try convincing my wallet that.

No need to apologize

[memorylane]

The idea that the world is going to end in December, 2012 based on a Mayan Calendar is nothing but tu'u mama'o.

Whats tu'u mama'o please?
