In my opinion, no one can really say it WILL happen. Then again, no one can say that it absolutely CAN'T. The planet can flick us all off like flies any time it wants, so if it does happen on the date that everyone says it will, it will just be a coinsidence. Not just because one of us said it will. I honestly think that it can happen at any time, like perhaps tomorrow or the day after that. Or maybe even a day before or after the planned date. What gets me mad is when, one, when people say straight-out that it's not going to happen, and then two, when people say it WILL happen but only because one of us says it will. Really, who can you completely, fully and utterly trust when discussing the end of the world? How can someone know for sure? I'm sort of stuck on whether or not it will happen, to be perfectly honest. That's precisely why I checked "Other" in the poll. xD But really, we're acting as though it will be a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, or something. Something that WE created, when it is really just the planet that is doing it.
Now, I know this may seem like the cruelest thing I am about to say, but...
People who are taunting those who fear the end of the world in 2012 say that they are going to go and beat up and tease even MORE on the people after it supposedly DOESN'T happen. Well...I'd absolutely LOVE to see the world end like...the day after, right when those people who doubted and are rubbing it in, saying "I told you so, fags!", are enjoying the fact that they are still alive. xD
It isn't nice to pick on people just because they believe in something different than you, especially when you most likely know just as little, if not less about it. And that is why it is in the future :3
