So I am reading these posts and some are informative while others are only self appointed opinions. 

Some would consider a 'religiously-based' opinion a "self-appointed" one, (since the foundational basis relies upon 'faith', not facts).  In this context, the Mayan calendar is indicating the end of a cycle they called "the long count".  There were several previous long-count cycles, come and gone without dooming mankind to extinction.
PSSST!!!....**to no one in particular** watch the video at the link I previously posted.

I don't know if anyone else watched it but, I did and the shaman mentioned that his Mayan ancestors did not consider the end of one particular long-count, (this one), any more 'world-ending' than several previous others were.

One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

Thank you, absolutely correct.

So, if anyone is interested in survival/preparedness supplies or gear, my advice would be to wait until after the first of next year to find the real bargains, as everyone else who listened to the hype and were to lazy to verify what they were told, begins to dump tons of goodies on the market. Just as we saw happen after the Y2K non-event.

On 12/21/12 I'll be doing the same things I do every other year.  Finishing up the x-mas shopping and maybe enjoying a well-earned cinnamon roll...depending on the time of day of course.   :thumbsup:

What, the whole Mayan 2012 discussion or, something for which the context was omitted?

What are your thoughts on the issue of the Mayan calendar and the 'deadline' of December 21, 2012?  ???
I think that's when their calendared ended, not the end of the world.

In that case, you'd be incorrect; it's not the end of the Mayan calendar, it's the end of the current "long-count" cycle.  There were other prior long-count cycles according to the Mayan calendar and another long-count, (about 5126 years), follows on 12-22-2012.

I don't believe we or anyone else can predict when the "end" will be. We should just focus on the here & now and live the best lives we can.

FAIL.

If we were discussing dead societies, Mayans would never come up except by someone who is completely devoid of knowledge on the subject.

I doubt it will happan; there was the y2k, rapture, and other end of the world events. What makes 2012 any different from those events.
