Hercules Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 When the world ends, I'm pretty sure I don't need to be "ready". Once I'm dead, I'm dead.
televisedconfession Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 What is it that they know, that we don't. About what's going down in the year 2012, nothing. They did not have Flight Deck. So, they can't possibly foretell the future. hahahaha!!! EXACTLY!
mcjaco Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I fear death by terrorists with shiny hair....and iPhones. I fear tapioca pudding, chain saw wielding monkeys, and black market bread.
larrygator Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 I fear waterparks that have a "speedo" only rule. Oh and high milk prices!
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ^ (Probably my only serious reply to this thread) Rich, you are exactly right. People need to just live their own lives to the fullest and not live out of fear and constant worrying. One thing that struck me as highly interesting was something DBru said:Our preacher just happened to bring it up in church last week. Nothing like a new spin on the old "Fire & Brimstone" routine to scare people into becoming faithful churchgoers. The end of the world is coming, QUICK, don't do anything BAD or you'll end up in hell in about four years. I have no problems with religion being a positive source of inspiration and motivation in people's lives, but using an underlying fear tactic to frighten people into faith seems so wrong. See, here is where I agree with you. I cannot stand it when preachers or pastors act like you are going to get hit by a bus as soon as you walk out of the church. And also, just saying, when the world ends, (again going by what I believe here) you don't immediately go to hell when the world "ends". You get ~7 years after the rapture to make things right with god. But without going into detail, lets just say getting hit by a bus may be the way you WANT to die during about the last half of those 7 years. Just nit-picking!
Ccron10 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 You guys are all wrong! The Earth is going to get swallowed by the sun.......A FEW BILLION YEARS FROM NOW!!!! lol
AllenA07 Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ^It's debated if the Earth is going to be sallowed by the sun. As the Sun expands it'll get really really toasty on earth, but there is a good chance that the expanding sun will expand the orbit of the earth, so we won't burn up completely. However in something like 1000^100 years everything is going to basically end up at a constant low state of energy as atoms themselves break down, don't think the Earth is going to escape that one!
ebl Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 ^ Of course by then I'll have a Honda S2000,000,000 and point it skyward to escape when the heat comes up. Eric
Hercules Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Wait. I'm going to get hit by a bus when I walk out the door?
DBru Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 ^Only if you go to church... (I'm still going though, because he hasn't said those *exact* words yet)
ebl Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ^ That depends...do buses run on your street? Am I driving it? [evil laugh] Is your time on Earth up yet? Eric
Hercules Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ^Only if you go to church... (I'm still going though, because he hasn't said those *exact* words yet) Oh ok. Good thing I don't believe in God!
DBru Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 ^Oh, well I guess that works out for you then...
X-L-R-8 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ^Sillier people who actually believe that someone can predict the future. Why does our society have some fixation on trying to figure out what happens to them before it does. Seriously can't you just be happy that for the most part you have control of your life, I mean if we really knew when the world would end can you imagine how big of a$$holes people would be. what, i don't believe nostradamus, why else would i say "lol, that silly nostradamus"
DBru Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 I don't think he was pointing you out. I believe the "can't you just be happy..." statement was just in general. Or am I wrong? lol
coasterdude5 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I believe Lost will end in 2012. Along with American Idol. The world??? Not so much. We might be underwater, but we'll still be here.
cycamps Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Think of all the other times that people thought the world would end. I don't think this'll be any different.
DBru Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 ^^We can debate the prediction of the end of the world, but NO ONE can predict when American Idol will end...
map2 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 2pac is still alive? Of Course he is! His death has WAY too many coincidences to be believable; he's hanging out with Eazy E Cuba
the sound Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ^^We can debate the prediction of the end of the world, but NO ONE can predict when American Idol will end... I'm gonna go with 2012. Nostradamus said so.
Nrthwnd Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 ^^We can debate the prediction of the end of the world, but NO ONE can predict when American Idol will end... Or Wheel of Fortune.

There was nothing in it directed toward you. My comprehension skills are good enough to pick up on the fact that you calling him silly does not in fact mean you believe him. However your total lack of the rules of capitalization leads me to believe you should spend more time studying and less time on the computer.
thrillgeek Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 The world better not end soon! I still need to make it to Cedar Point
