If you believe anything a human said about the end of the world if their first name wasn't Carl and their last name wasn't Sagan, you're unbelievably stupid.

Everyone thought it was gonna end in 1995, 2000 and June 6, 2006, what makes you think it'll f*cking end on 2012? Humans have that ideal of thinking too ahead and too close to fall on their own Delusions ~ The World can end any time, any day, any year, and when it happens, what the hell will you do about it? Panic? Bah! ~ You won't even know what hit you all ~
Just because some Mexican Indian tribe wrote it would end in 2012 doesn't mean it'll happen, and I'm not putting Religion in the discussion as it's out of the question before anyone says otherwise.
Besides ~ Natural Selection, benefits the survivors stronger and better ~

Honestly I could care less when the word ended. I'm happy with my life and if I died tomorrow or in 30 years it wouldn't make a difference to me. And you know what, either of those could happen. 'End of the world' theories are retarded, everyone dies, it doesn't matter when or how.

The Mayan calendar wasn't actually a product of the Mayans. It was passed on to them by the Olmec, and they adapted it for their own use. So, technically, it is the Olmec calendar. Also, they were significantly older than the Mayans, so the year 900 thing doesn't matter. The "cyclical" nature of the calendar comes from folklore that states that the previous age was ended in water, and the current age will end in fire.

But it still raises the question of how far the calendar we use today goes. It's simply a question of how lazy the person is, and how far ahead they decide to figure out the dates for. Computers kind of make it irrelevant for us, because we can go any number of years into the future, it doesn't even matter. But back then, they had to stop counting somewhere, you know? To believe that they actually CHOSE a specific date to stop because it was the end of the world, as opposed to just stopping because "eh, that's like 2000 years into the future, that's far enough for now" is pretty gullible. The fact that the Mayan calendar is even older only supports my point.
Then again, I don't have all the information, this isn't really my subject. But still.

You can be an optimist and say "The world's not going to end for at least thousands of years still."
Or you can be a pessimist and say "We're all gonna die before then anyway from nuclear war or global warming."
Either way, the world's not going to end in 2012.

That's the best explanation for the end of the calendar. Why didn't I think of that, or even hear it before? ;_; |

Did any of you actually see the Mayan calendar? It's not a thing that just comes to an end arbitrarily.
