When 2012 passes and we are all still alive will doomsday theorists shut it?

I cannot wait for 2012 to get hereso I can finally stop hearing about the Mayan calender and Nimbru and all this crap about how we are all going to die.

Will the crazy people admit they were wrong or simply change the year to a later date?

It will just change to another date - crazy will still be crazy

sigh - There will be other dates as the above poster said.

With reference to the topic title:

Not "when", but "if"! :shock:

Nope, someone else will come up with the next one. Christians have been predicting Jesus is going to return and the world as we know it will end basically since the generation in which he lived, for instance. Many other religions have been claiming the same - that the world will end. And when it doesn't happen, there's always a convenient explanation as to why.

we won't know because the topic will get locked?!

Maybe a couple will commit suicide. The rest will just quietly go back to their day to day lives.

That depends entirely on whether or not we're still here.

Nope. It will probably be 2360 or sumthing. What I find funny is that like on History Channel there was this show that had like 7 ways that humanity could be wiped out. I knew it was bogus when they had Global Warming as a bigger threat than a Nuclear Holocaust. But they're like, "Oh, ya, the world will like be bad and stuff and in a few hundred years we all go splat a stuff." What they don't realize that if it's a long time from now, as in not in my life, why would I care? Besides, I don't trust scientists anyways. They say that earth is millions of years old, and unless they know somebody's great great great great X 1,000,000 grandfather who was an ancient scientist, then I won't take their word. Plus they think that suns die after like a few milion years when they didn't even start studying it until like 2,000 years ago. And it's not like anybody can get close enough to the sun to study it. On January 1st, 2012 though I'm going to have a lot of fun running around the streets yelling "Holy Crap! A Meteor!"

Then it will be doomsday 2013!

they didn't shut it after 2KY. :(auron_16

It is called Y2K, not 2KY :P. But you are right they didn't and they will just find another date.

The only way they will shut up is if the world really does end in 2012.roosuu

No, because the History Channel would run out of shows and would find put together some contrived dooms day theory and make over 9000 hour long specials on it.

people have been spouting the end of the world since the beginning. I don't see much changing.

The Mayans weren't a crazy bunch of people y'know? These were a very intelligent race that even predicted theirown demise to the white people on horses.

They will all turn to global warming.

Yeah but I mean they had to end the calendar sometime, maybe they just got lazy and said "When we hit the 1900's we will continue the calendar."

I guarantee that nothing bad will happen in 2012.flowersjf

You just lost. Something bad happens every year.

Once all of this 2012 nonsense passes the next doomsday theory will shift to the asteriod that is "supposed" to impact with Earth in 2029 or 2030.

Every body that belives in this theory should watch this.

Penn and teller are just a comedy act. You should never take their **** seriously.

The Broncos will win the superbowl, and i'll be so happy that I'm gonna explode with joy. Taking out our entire solar system and creating a black hole.
