Every generation has worries about the world ending.
Think about it this way, 300 years ago would we have known about the tsunami? Probably not for years later. 500 years ago, would we have known about katrina? 100 years ago, would we have known about global warming? You get my point.
If the world does end in our lifetime, then I'll wear a dress and mow your lawn or something.

No, in all likelihood the world will live on long after we are dead, our species is extinct and our continents have moved around into unrecognizable forms.

Simply put, many who do believe the world is going to end soon follow institutions that have been saying that for thousands of years. Humanity may end, but I think even we would be hard pressed to remove ALL life from earth.

Interesting. Care to cite the sources and methodology of your many years of careful research? Or am I supposed to just take your word for it? Because unless you can actually come up with some kind of evidence, it doesn't seem any more plausible than any of the other predictions out there (most of which don't predict 2006-2009 as the correct time frame).

i dont think the world itself will ever end, just the things that live on it. i dont think that will happen in our life time, but i could be wrong. you cant predict the future

THE END IS NIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been in hospital for attempted suicide. I'm over that now. Life can end in a split second. People get run over by buses everyday. You can hide under the bed and read your horoscope but there is one thing for sure... no one knows when they are going to die. Do you want to spend what little time we have on earth worrying about the end... you could reach 100 and have spent 50 years worrying. Just imagine what you could accomplish in all those years. Steve Irwin may have left us early but he lived life to the fullest and done more than most people would do in a hundred lifetimes. This might be the only time you have to experience life... do you want a life under the bed or a life that says WOW!
Carpe diem. Seize the day.

I think it's goin to end, but not blow up or noin.. It's just goin to End as we used to know it, its goin through changes all the time I admit, but i dunno if its because of technology but events are unfolding exponentially.
I just had a brain wave. When all the oil is pumped out of the ground, r we left with air holes? If so how many air holes and how does this affect the stability of the Earths equilibrium?

Yep, air holes. And after we'd sucked enough oil from beneath us, the earth will collapse in on itself and we'll discover that our true enemies are...the Crab People!

Invevitably the world will end one day, and with each decade that passes, the path to that end accellerates as we (collectively) continue to knacker our environment in acheiving short term profits. The justification, constantly, for not changing our approach, is the increased cost, the inability to compete in markets dominated by the exploitation of 3rd world countries. America refused to conform to the Kyoto protocol citing the impact on America's economy as the key reason - "Do you have any idea of the cost of the Kyoto protocol?" - a short term, egotistic view and America are not alone.
The general view seems to be - I must make profit, f*ck the future beyond my lifetime.
The world is driven by the financial markets, we outsource our skilled labour to India and other third world locations in the name of profit, and ignore the fact that more and more people are losing work and dropping into lower levels of poverty in our western countries. The additional impact of that, is that we are then forced (because we have less money) to buy cheap, poor quality products, whose manufacturing techniques are often key contributors to pollution and the knackered environment.
Before this turns into an Essay, there is some encouragement - the Ozone layer is beginning to heal itself - 2 decades later than anticipated, but it is happenning. Perhaps it will be enough to decrease the Global Warming effect, prevent further erosion of our ice-packs, and prevent huge quantities of fresh water from pouring into the sea, disturbing the key currents essential for habital climates around the world (including places like the UK).
More than this, many western countries are now adopting recyclying in a more effective way - but the Governments will apply increased taxation and charges to encourage us to not "throw so much away" - this is self defeating as this pushes us to (as mentioned above), buy more cheap products, made in locations exempt from the Kyoto protocol, and manufactured in a manner which is not "environmentally friendly". But - recycling is definately a step in the right direction, and is a way we can all help a little.
We are becoming wiser - finally we are learning that leaving electronic devices in stand-by and not turning them off is a contributor to our increased electric bills and global warming... more and more of us a re remembering to turn our TV's off instead of just to standby. If one person does it, the effect is minimal, if 50 million households do it (UK population), the effect is significant..... so do your part too...
Man ... going to get off my soapbox now ... you might have noticed this is one of my pet subjects.... I am not some "Green Avenger", but I do love this world, the people in it, the music, the love, the green.... I don't want to be part of the generation that knew we were f*cking it up, and did nothing!
Unfuck the World!

Good point graph, I mean about the every generation thing, not about the dress but feel free to mow my lawn anytime ;)
Anyhow, I was born in '69 and for most of my younger life everyone was certain that a nuclear war with the Soviet Union was just around the corner. There were always articles in the paper talking about how many taks and missles we had vs how many they had. Kids were going to psychiatrists about it, they made movies about it, Pink Floyd had a song about it, etc., etc. It wasn't a question of "if?" as much as "when?". People really thought that we'd see a nuclear holocaust in our lifetime. Then, in 1991 the Soviet Union collapsed.
Now there a whole new set of worries: global warming, hair spray and the ozone layer, the evil Muslim horde. Are these any more likely to destroy the world in our, our our children's, lifetime. Not likely, there may be subtle changes but not the end of the world. That won't happen for a long long time. There are certainly things to be worried about but we shouldn't live in fear.

well here it is
2012-2019: Damon_051572, who describes himself as "the physical and spiritual Jew," distributed an Email widely on 2006-AUG-19. It it titled: "Message from God: Some events of the end of the world." He of the events that he predicts will happen sometime before 2019 are: The Two Witnesses mentioned in Revelation will issue prophecies and send plagues.
144,000 Jewish virgins convert many to Christianity.
People will be required to receive a mark on their hand or forehead. Any that accept the mark "will be cast into the lake of fire forever to experience unimaginable suffering forever."

The Mayan calendar has a 5,125 year cycle ending on december 21, 2012. This does not infer that the world will end at this date, instead the mayans predicted that there will be dramatic changes in our world and our way of thinking, the beginning of a new age.

The world won't end on December 12, 2012, not even according to the Mayans and their calendar. From wiki:
"The end of the 13th b'ak'tun is conjectured to have been of great significance to the Maya, but does not necessarily mark the end of the world according to their beliefs, but a time of re-birth. According to the Popol Vuh, a book compiling details of creation accounts known to the Quiché Maya of the colonial-era highlands, we are living in the fourth world. The Popol Vuh describes the first three creations that the gods failed in making and the creation of the successful fourth world where men were placed. The Maya believed that the fourth world would end in catastrophe and the fifth and final world would be created that would signal the end of mankind.
The last creation ended on a long count of 13.0.0.0.0. Another 13.0.0.0.0 will occur on December 21, 2012, and it has been discussed in many New Age articles and books that this will be the end of this creation or something else entirely. However, the Maya abbreviated their long counts to just the last five vigesimal places. There were an infinite number of larger units that were usually not shown. When the larger units were shown (notably on a monument from Coba), the end of the last creation is expressed as 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13 .13.13.13.0.0.0.0, where the units are obviously supposed to be 13s in all larger places. In this age we are only approaching 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.13.0.0.0.0 , and the larger places are nowhere near the 13s that would match the end of the last creation. (Schele and Friedel 1990: 430)
This is confirmed by a date from Palenque, which projects forward in time to 1.0.0.0.0.0, which will occur on October 13, 4772. The Classic Period Maya obviously did not believe that the end of this age would occur in 2012. According to the Maya, there will be a baktun ending in 2012, a significant event being the end of a 13th 400 year period, but not the end of the world."
So according to the Mayans, we won't even be one billionth of the way to the end of the world on that date. Too many people reading uneducated BS from the conspiracy guys. Heh.

I agree. Unless we're hit by a meteor, the big blue ball will keep spinning till the sun dies. Long after everyone else is dead.

I try not to worry too much about what I cannot control,but I am definately of the opinion that the human race will use the hell out of the Earth and all resources before it's all over.

That big asteroid isn't going to hit us. They say now that it'll come within 100,000 miles though, which is pretty close. But pretty close is far enough. It isn't big enough to do that much damage anyway, even if it did hit. Localized damage, maybe a little more if it hit water.
Incidentally, rocks that hit water are far more dangerous to the human race than those that hit land, oddly enough. A big rock hitting land might wipe out a state-sized area. A big rock hitting water would vaporize monumental amounts of water and cover the earth with clouds for years, cause tsunamis and tidal waves and wipe out cities along whatever coasts are near. For a good fictional account of a big rock hitting the earth, and the aftermath, I recommend 'Lucifer's Hammer' (by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle). Great book!
