I am sure you have all heard about the global apocalypse that is predicted to happen on December 21, 2012. All because of a Long Count calendar created by the Mayan Culture and Nibiru, the United States is fretting over the doomsday.

Many compare it to the odometer being all 0’s on a car or to a clock striking midnight, the world will reset to a “zero date” –which will result in the world drastically ending. But the end of the world is also being blamed on Plant X or Nibiru, as well.

Supposedly, Plant X will enter our solar system at the edge and cross orbits with Jupiter. Here’s the catch, Jupiter could ignite and become a baby sun, and by 2011 people will be able to have a bird’s eye view of two suns. However, at the 11 ½ year cycle the solar flare might peak –knocking out power grids around the world; causing mass devastation to all.

What is up with the "could" and "might"? If someone wants to persuade me to believe something, you better be showing me proof, and stand confident of the things you say. And not use could and might in your facts.

What a load of shit. Not only can any human Google ‘2012’ and get 368,000,000 articles about the horrid date, but there are so many stories that it has become more than a bit ridiculous when spoke about.

The first story about this date was the Mayan calendar. Seems a bit believable, right? Wrong. The Mayan’s could not predict their own “end of the world” date, why would anyone believe that they would purposely predict ours? Do not get me wrong, the Mayan calendar could in fact mean bad news because yes, the Long Count calendar is set to reset to 0 after 1,872,000 days; and that date it lands on just happens to be December 21, 2012.

However, what people seem to be missing is that according to Skeptics Dictionary, “this date is of enormous interest to certain doomsday prophets and New Age astrologers, such as John Calleman, who are spreading the good news either that the Mayan knew the date when the world would end or they knew the date when a New Age of Transformation would begin.” You people seem to only be looking for a reason to make your credit scores sky rocket, and buy all of the fanciest cars and biggest homes, which is why you believe the worst, the world will end.

Nostradamus predicted the world would end, as well. He technically predicted that a huge space collision will happen in 2000 with Nibiru, which will lead me to my next point, later. But he also said that a catastrophe would happen in 2012. Hello people, a catastrophe could mean anything, why think the worst?

To be exact, there are thirty-six different predictions of what will happen on December 21, 2012; ranging from sort of believable stories, to off the wall things –it all depends on how you take it. But thirty-six? That is a bit out of hand.

I bet you did not know that the world was supposed to end on May 5, 2000, either. All the planets would align and the result would be the end of civilization through the melting and shifting of the polar icecaps. And did that happen? No.

When the world did not end on that day, the doomsday was pushed back to 2012. Now, because the economy is slipping, polar icecaps are melting, and we are only a few years away from December 21, 2012, everyone is flipping out. Although the hoax has been going strong for many years, there is much evidence proving that the world will not end in 2012. Just open your eyes a bit, people.

Hoax –that is all it could be; a way for film makers and journalist to make a living. Whether the world does end or not, the way I look at it –one day it will. But for now people should be enjoying their time they have with people, and stop trying to predict when, where, and how they will die.
