With all the media attention that 2012 is getting, I am starting to wonder if things aren't a little worse than everyone thought. I am not sure if I believe that the world will end, but I am concerned with the state that our environment is in. I have started using my recycles for other things, including crafts for my daughters and we have been trying to be energy smart at our house. it make me very sad to think that I just had my children a few years ago and now I have to wonder if I did the right thing. What about you? Do you think that there is any truth to what everyone is saying? Do you think that we should all continue living the way that we used to? Or do you think that the government needs to bite the bullet so to speak and do something more?

you are question is interesting,in 2012 it never happen why i am saying this its all faith in god , so no one cannot predict that in 2012 the world is going to be perish,in future definitely it could be happen but not in 2012. so u don't confuse about that. we can't say and can't predict also,in my point of view.that's all i know about 2012.

Everyone was talking about that movie, so I decided to give it a try and watch it. Now that I have done so I don't get at all what's all this fuss about. The movie is not that good, I didn't really enjoy it or feel much interest while watching it. Everything was predictable. If it had been a good movie, and not an average-low one I would understand it, but seriously... We have to take care of the planet, with bad movies or without them, without being told to do so, as this is the place where we live and we have no other place to go. I try to help on it recycling as much as I can, and I would like to believe that everyone cares about the planet enough for not to damage it even more than it already is.

The science in the "Day After Tomorrow" is woozy. It's a great movies, but it's not the least bit accurate. The hype behind the end of the world conspiracy in 2012 is all fabricated from the end date of a Mayan calendar. People who are actual experts on the Mayans think the end of the world theory is silly. But are we killing the earth? Probably. And you should continue to take steps to make your space a better place, regardless of whether or not the government does something or whether or not the world may come to some terrible end. Love your children and continue to teach them. The future isn't certain, but that doesn't mean you made a mistake in bringing them in.

I'm sure the government is doing something and just not making it widely known. I dont think it will happen - I think the chances of it are so small and its being so widely publicized to make people do what you are doing: recycling and trying to help the environment. Its a good thing, but there are people who are taking it too far and scaring many people too much. Its making people think about the world and their lives and I think many people are changing for the better - living life to the fullest and trying to fix years and years of pollution. However, if it does happen I won't worry about it til then. There isn't anything we can do to stop a meteor or something like that so just take the time we have and use it wisely. Even if 2012 is a farce - something unexpected could happen any day. Enjoy the time we have and don't worry too much!

You would have to be nuts to think that 2012 is the end of the world or whatever. Shouldn't believe the hype the media puts on things either. Remember Y2k and how apparently all the computers would get confused over triple zeros or something? That was so silly. But people were worried about it none the less. I think we should take care of our planet, have no unnecessary wastages etc. But we shouldn't be sucked in by political agendas like the Copenhagen thing. I'm gonna have kids, and they won't be doomed to a cataclysmic future or anything.

There's really not anything that our government or anyone else's can do, if the extinction event is prompted by the return of a planet approximately the same size as earth we don't have enough nukes on this planet to blow that thing and definitely no delivery system to send them into space. Aside from the fact that if we managed to blow it up we would be showered with radioactive debris , meteors, etcetera. That would probably peel back the ozone layer and then the sun would nuke us like 5 billion roasts in a microwave. That really would be the end of the world. Supposedly this type of thing has happened on a regularly scheduled 2300-3600 year cycle. Humans have been around for over 50,000 years so we have seen several of these extinction events. It is just that every time it happens it plunges us back into ice ages and 80-95% of the species dying off. We are not as big as dinosaurs nor are we cold blooded so some people will survive and build everything up again before the next cycle comes back. Never regret having your children, they have been a joy and a comfort to you I am sure. The world has never been a safe or secure place to bring children in, yet generation after generation has done so. Just because something may happen is no reason to panic or to expect that even if it does that you will not either die together or survive together. That is the same chance that you take every time that your family is all together in one vehicle and out on the roads. I know I probaby sound morbid but what I am saying is also true. Trajedy strikes us all the time it takes people, families, friends, cities, and towns, yet we continue to pick up the pieces after everything and go on. It is not the end of the world either way, the earth has been through this at least a few hundred times in the 5 billion years that it has been floating here in space, and here she still is. I would think I would be a relief to good old mother Gaia if 80-90% of us toddled off of this mortal coil and stopped poisoning her.

There is no use believing that the world will end in 2012. Nobody knows of the end, not even the brightest of all scientists. What is needed is to protect our planet from deterioration in any way possible. Only God knows when our planet will come to an end.
