Apparently according to an ancient Mayan Calendar, tomorrow is Doomsday.

(Also, someone named 9-Jaguar-Paw has a dental appointment.)

So, what's your Ragnarok story?

####
Buffy: This is how many apocalypses for us now?
Giles: Oh, uh, six at least. Feels like a hundred.
— Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "The Gift"

####

Dr. Peter Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, "biblical"?
Dr. Raymond Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff. Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Dr. Egon Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...
Winston Zeddmore: The dead rising from the grave!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Human Sacrifice. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria!
— Ghostbusters

So, we've had Y2K, 5-5-2000 ( planetary alignment ) , numerous rapture claims by a nutcase preacher, and now 12/21/2012....

When we're still here on Saturday, can we call a moratorium on Armageddon predictions, at least for a couple of decades ?

Or until the end really IS nigh?

Not until Obama is out of office.

HE is the one who said he wanted to FUNDAMENTALLY change this country.

He's doing it, for the worse.

If you mean that your constantly proving your stupidity means there's ONE thing you're good at.... then, yeah, sure. Go right ahead and latch onto that one...

You're a bit off in your 'fact' making up there.

The global death rate sits between 150,000 and 160,000 per day. Even when escalated by conventional war that rate is not likely to exceed +50%. Millions in one day would likely require something along the lines of a nuclear attack.

As someone who was in Mayaland a couple of days ago I can honestly say that the only people worried about this were uneducated Americans who know nothing about the Mayan calendar. All the Mayans I saw were just hangin out.

I'm sick of people who don't want America to change -- or, worse, want it to go back to what it used to be (more sexist and racist -- although perhaps less ignorant -- than it is these days).

The world has changed in fundamental ways, and America must change with it to succeed. There's an adage in writing that "stagnation = death," and that's really true everywhere. Worse, the world of yesterday belongs to yesterday, and to try to cling to it is idiocy at it's finest.

I know some folks don't like Obama -- indeed, don't think he's a "real American" -- because he doesns't seem to believe in "Amercan exceptionalism." Guess what? He's RIGHT. In my life time, I feel like I've seen the death of American exceptionalism, and I'm sure my parents and grandparents have even more to say on the topic.

The first step in dealing with a problem is recognizing it which makes him lightyears more American than the morons who for the past decade or so have been trying to return the United States to the 1950s.

Oh, also: Mayans, you can suck it.

Quote:

"The Apocalypse is, to those who receive the 19th Degree, the Apotheosis of that Sublime Faith which aspires to God alone, and despises all the pomps and works of Lucifer. LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!"
-General Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", Masonic bible "Morals and Dogma", page 321

"LUCIFER, the Light-bearer! Strange and mysterious name to give to the Spirit of Darkness! Lucifer, the Son of the Morning! Is it he who bears the Light, and with its splendors intolerable blinds feeble, sensual, or selfish Souls? Doubt it not!" Kosher General Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, page 321

"The true name of Satan is, the Kallaists say, is that of Yahweh reversed; for Satan is not a black god, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of Atheism and Idoltry. For the Initiates, this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good; but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument for Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force, which presides over the physical generation, under the mythological and horned form of the God Pan; hence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpant, and the Light-Bearer, or Phosphor of which the poets have made the false Lucifer of the legend."
-General Albert Pike (jewish Masonic pope), "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 102

"There is in nature a one most potent force, by means whereof a single man, who could posses himself of it, and should know how to direct it, could revolutionize and change the face of the world. It is a universal agent, whose supreme law is equilibrium; and whereby, if science can but learn how to control it, it can be possible to change the order of the seasons, to produce in night the phenomenon of day, to send a thought in an instant around the world, to heal or slay at a distance, to give our words universal success, and made them reverberate everywhere. The Gnostics held that it was adorned in the secret rites of the Sabbat or the Temple, under the hieroglyphic figure of the Baphomet or the hermaphroditic goat of Mendes."
-General Albert Pike, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 734

"All religions issued from the Kabalah and return to it: everything scientific and grand in the dreams of the illuminati is borrow from the Kabalah; all the Masonic associations owe to it their Secrets and Symbols. The Kabalah alone consecrates the allegiance of the Universal Reason and Devine Word. The Bible, with all the allegories it contains, expresses, in an incomplete and veiled manner only, the religious science of the Hebrews. Thus was a second Bible born, unknown to, or rather uncomprehended by, the Christians; a collection, they say, of monstrous absurdities; a monument, the adept says, wherein everything that the genius of philosophy and that of religion have ever formed or imagined of the sublime; a treasure surrounded by thorns; a diamond concelaed in a rough dark stone. One is filled with admiration, on penetrating into the Sancuary of the Kabalah, at seeing doctrine so logical, so simple, and at the same time so absolute. The Absolute Deity, with the Kabalists, has no name. The terms applied to Him are the Most Simple Light. For then there was no space or vacant place, but all was infinite Light."
-General Albert Pike, Jewish pope of Masonic Mafia, "Morals and Dogma of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry", page 744-5

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. We shall unleash the Nihilists and atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirit will from that moment be without a compass (direction), anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the pure light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view, a manifestation which will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."
-Albert Pike, jewish pope of Freemasonry, author of the Yiddish Masonic bible Morals and Dogma, on a plan for world conquest, written in a letter to Mazzini dated August 15, 1871

Obama couldn't be more wrong about America and our exceptionalism, nor could you about who the community agitator in chief, Obama, really is. Freedom never goes out of style, yet you're such the useful idiot, blinded by false promises and utopian dreams, that you'll gladly trade in any amount of freedom you can to fall in line w/ this spoiled, selfish, arrogant man-child of a President.
