Why do people say the Mayan calendar is predicting the end of the world?
All it is is an astrological calendar, which is ending it’s cycle, so why do people insist it’s the apocalypse. I mean the calendar can’t go on forever!? And how could anyone predict the end of the world?? There’s no proof and no possible way, can someone give me a real reason to believe in this scam?

There’s a sucker born every minute.
With this many mystics, crazies, evaders, liars and right-wing non-thinking dupes being added to the usual fringe left-wing elements, apocalyptic predictions are bound to find more believers–with no proof–than ever before. Add in a failed and even diseducational a-conceptual school bureaucracy, distrust of financial and corporate bought-and-paid for lobbyists’ puppet government, the failure of Congress, the executives and the Supreme Court to fix anything in 40 years and there’s a lot of fodder for failed minds to chew on/..
Besides, it’s still close enough to the meaningless millennial date, 2000, that they’re still left over after all their predictions at that time collapsed into a heap of nonsense, with nothing better to do than spew out more crazy hypotheses.
Thanks for asking.
Give your answer to this question below!
There is always a bunch of cranks going round predicting the end of the world every few years. A history of unremitting failure doesn’t deter them because they are desperate for your attention. They have ‘important information’ which you should know and which the ‘government’ is trying to cover up. In reality, they haven’t the faintest idea about science and all their predictions can be shown to be false by anyone in possession of two or more brain cells.
Some of these cranks may be genuinely mentally ill and in need of help but worse still, a bunch of crooks have latched on to their rantings as an opportunity to make money from the more simple-minded in society by selling them useless survival guides and equipment.
After the world fails to end in 2012, the next date will be set at 2018 or 2020. Not too far ahead or people won’t be interested. Just enough time to get the new books and DVDs about the latest ‘end times prophecy’ on sale. And don’t forget the movie.
