Ok...so the media has been selling the whole mass hysteria end of the world paranoia crap, pretty much force feeding it to us and it seems like for the most part we are swallowing. What the heck? Shouldn't we be angry or upset at the fear mongering???

Im sick of it!

Am I the only one who doesn't believe in that nonsense? I mean, how many thousands of years has humanity been on its toes about this sort of thing? Were fragile creatures that can go at any moment...but why do we need to put a date on it? I don't know about you guys but I don't have an expiration label. I'm not a canned good.

Even if the mayans are right, why is human extinction equivalent to the end of the world? There was life before, and surely there will be life after us. What do you guys think??? Cuz I want a good argument/FIGHT about this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sport_boxing.gif)

Just let me be the first to cry "BULL!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/q20.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dots.gif)

This gives you an overview.
My favourite was the prophecies of William Miller in which he predicted 4 dates for the end of the world in 1843-44. When the world didn't end at the predicted date, he moved it up a bit, then a bit more, and a bit more. You would have thought they'd wise up after the second time.

Don't worry. It'll only seem kinky the first time.
