The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - Miller0700 - 12-02-2012 12:08 PM Alas, the end of the world is only 3 weeks away. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_phenomenon) And that got me thinking about society and the planet itself. Do you think the world will end in our lifetimes? What could you do if it did? Do you have the materials and food to survive? Do you believe that society would be able to bounce back after a major crisis? Are we to succumb to nature or to the economy first? I visited numerous news channels, browsed numerous videos of people rioting, pillaging and destroying anything in their way and stumbled onto many survivalist/prepper websites urging people to prepare themselves for the end of days. Or is it all a giant rouse? A giant fear mongering gimmick to get people whipped up into a certain mindset? Is the collapse of society overhypered, not to come anytime soon? Many of these doom and gloom sites tend to ignore the positives of the world and humanity's strive to survive in it. What do you think? The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - no - 12-02-2012 12:42 PM The collapse of society wouldn't be so bad, as long as there's a planet for those who don't depend a contrived system for their every thought. The destruction of the Earth... now, that could be a genuine problem.

The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - Ky - 12-02-2012 02:53 PM It's all hype. The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - SoulRiser - 12-03-2012 05:57 AM It better not end this year, I have awesome plans for 2013 and possibly 2014. RE: The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - Night - 12-03-2012 06:24 AM I don't care if the world ends. I see it as I can't control it, and I'd probably be too dead to care. And when the world does end, it'll only be our world, the rest of the universe would stay. Our end is probably going to be when the sun dies. Or when Andromeda collides with us. Both won't happen for another few billion years. But I think if We don't get our shit together we're just going to end up like Venus. Oh and I read somewhere that they found that mass extinctions happen ever 62 million years, but I think that could just be for marine life. The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - Potato - 12-07-2012 06:51 PM so everyone thinks that the world is going to end because some Mayans ran out of space for their calender?

RE: The end of the world or the mindset of fear? - IamNoone - 12-08-2012 11:53 AM It might end then, for all we know Russia is making plans to colonize space and nuke earth to oblivion. |
