if you believe the world will end in 2012 then you believe that cars transform into alien robots, and on christmas taliban will hijack santa claus sleigh and leave bombs under our trees

I love this guy.. But if 2012 is what others are saying then you should not pack any survival kits. because then that makes it easier for others to kill you and steal you kit. ::) just a little tip.

Knowledge is power. . . and silly believers of magic and chaotic ends like that we see in sci-fi books, well, they are delusional and perhaps wish for the end themselves. It's okay, they were born 'that' way. ;) hahahaha

whatever, we're all gonna die.

@mmbbal24 hahaha idk you at all but if i did and something actually happened, id shake your hand. Until then, I dont believe a word you say. Science is bs? What about when Galileo discovered that the world revolved around the sun instead of visa avers? Periodic table? Im sure everyone that believed heaven was above us in the sky just "felt it". Until we were able to reach past the atmosphere through SCIENCE! The people that start chaos bc of this are stupid anyway.

you know, i like this guy

[Anime2GW]

@tuhottaja i disagree something amazing will happen, oh not end of the world stuff, but there will be some kick arse new years partys ^_^

[mmbbal24]

First of all, You can't predict anything....But at the same time this guy seems to be biased towards nothing happening in 2012. Shit is going down in 2012 for this reason. Everybody thinks it is! Regardless of any catastrophic events people are going to be going crazy buying food water, seeking shelter etc. Nothing truly has to happen for their not to be chaos. Their will be atleast chaos but something else is going to happen. Science is bs anyway, Intuition is powerful. I can feel it.
