Does this feel like the end of the world to anyone?

I've been watching a lot of the shows on the History channel and NGC that talk about the End of the World (insert dramatic tone here) and it got me thinking. Different cultures have been saying the end is coming in 2012 since forever.. The Mayans have that calendar.. And with all the wars and genocides that are going on along with how people are starting to act towards each other.. Really makes me wonder. Either it wasn't very well documented a hundred years ago or peoples consciences have really gone out of wack. Either way.. What's your view on things? I'm curious. :-)

Probably the only things we gotta worry about are big rocks hitting earth or said trigger happy greedy people. If enough people demand change those rich old foggies are bound to take notice.; ▶ Reply to This

People have been claiming the end of the world was here for hundreds and hundreds of years. Everyone always gets worked up.. and then.. nothing. The same thing, everytime.; ▶ Reply to This

I know that won't stop fighting and what-not.. and eventually we'd end up running out of water due to the lack of rain the moon gets :P

But anyway, I think humanity will probably cease to exist and then the next thing in the line of evolution will come along. I don't think the world will just.. die. Although, scientists say that thousands of years from now the sun will blow up and the earth will burn or something.
Science also tends to tell me (or tries to prove me wrong) things I don't believe ^_^; ▶ Reply to This
