Is mankind really coming to an end?

BTW, you're about 6 months younger than my son. I hope he is as smart and willing to learn as you seem to be sir.

Alright thank you sir!! I just opened all of those links and book marked them into my favorites so that at a later time when I have a wild hair up my ass to read and gain more knowledge (Which is more likely for me in doing so) then I will do so!!

Well thank you for the compliment, I don't hear that as often as I think I should?? :wtf: Haha. And I'd hope your son is just as intelligent as I or more, because as these days go by soon after turning into months to years which will become the near future, things are going to be getting tougher and tougher and this generation (that I am) and the next generation (which will hopefully be my children in the years to come) will need to gain as much wisdom as possible in order to survive and hopefully can and will positively change the world as we all know of it. We can make change but it takes a lot of good people in doing so. I'd hope mankind will wake up and change everything into what we need it to be before the hands of God do..because we all wont like the way he will make change. Each and every single day he is throwing us signs and not to sound so negative but it seems mankind is becoming more and more ignorant and not seeing what the lord is trying to do :wtf:

I worry very much about the state of the world and even more about our country.

I don't talk religion so I'll bow out here. BTW, Ann Rand was an atheist, if that would bother you.

Yeah even at my age I worry just as well, and probably because I'm so young that I have a feeling that I have more to live for you know??

Nope I am open to everyone's opinions and beliefs, when I was younger I was thought to be an atheist but I choose to change into a better person recently and found faith for personal reasons. I'm not religious what so ever, there are too many of them and too f**ked up, they lead people into other directions then what I believe that the lord has asked to do. I'm more of a spiritual person though. I have a variety of beliefs, almost too much that they all contradict them selves haha and I'm sorry for calling you a sir, I didn't know

[NextLineIsMine]

hah famous people are mortal too

But I got something to say about coincidences, they happen

With the number of things that happen in the world daily it would be absurd for coincidences to not happen, you can draw parallels between anything and everything if you want to.

As for the apocalypse of 2012, yknow I think I many people secretly wish it would happen just so we could experience something truly epic, fuck I want to see alien contact, but disappointingly you and I are probably going to miss both those events, sorry

describing the end of the world as epic... thats a good word. epic. yeah. i like it.

[koshea]

the theory behind the whole 2012 phenomina is that on december 21 2012, the ancient mayan calender comes to an end. the reason behind this is unknown, but many speculate it is because it's the end of time. now, everyone knows that the mayans were brilliant in math and astronomy but could they really predict the end of the world from the positioning of the stars?

on one hand, this very same mayan calender is actually more accurate than the modern day one we use in terms of predicting the length of days, months, and years. But on the other hand, this is the same civilization that A) believed that solar eclipses were a monster eating the sun, and B) believed that the new white visitors from spain were gods.

If you want to go deep into theorys (me and my girlfriend spend many nights smoking and discussing this at our apt.) it can all be wrapped up into one millenium long explanation. because i am stoned and have nothing to do, ill spill what we have decided so far.

Human beings are by nature not a physically dominant species. Thats not to say we are physically incapable, just not even close to the top of the list as far as physical prowless goes. Yet somehow, we have all but taken over and destroyed the entire planet. Humans spread across oceans, lakes, deserts, jungles and successfully survived. Also, since the beginning of time, man has believed in a higher power and witnessed unexplainable phenomina in the skies. Egypitians, Greeks, Aztecs, Mayans, Incas all have pyrimids. The materials and labor force nessisary to build these by hand, not to mention the expert educated craftsmanship and construction knowledge would have been impossible is most every case of pyramids being built. Most of these pyramids line up with stars and other things of astrological importance creating a sort of navigation system for aerial craft. Human and alien interaction has occurd in the past as well.

One thing nessisary to sustain an exploding human population was a steady food supply. One crop has sustained humans since the beginning of time and that is corn, or maize. While recently taking a bio class at the CC, i learned something interesting from my professor, the origin of corn in only theoretical, no one really knows where it came from, and it dosent natrually occur anywhere on earth because it is an invasive plant that fights for soil nutrients and water. within a few hundered years without humans corn would be gone. now i know your reading this thinking "he has lost his mind who cares where corn came from?" well untill recently, we thought that corn came from a hybrid of 2 plants: Tripsacum grass of south america and the teosinte plant of central america. The problem is that these two plants do not genetically mix in nature and would need human (or alien) intervention. But wait, humans didnt have this ability of gene minipulation untill much later, so either corn was a hybrid food source created by aliens in exchange for SOMETHING from man kind, or ancient humans were practicing gene minipulation.

Me and my girlfriend have pretty much decided that aliens need something on our planet. They also need our planet to be healthy and alive to produce what they need and so they wouldnt take it by force. I believe that thousands of years ago aliens made a deal with the current pharos, kings, and emperors of the days giving them much needed technology and knowledge, and they will return soon (possibly in 2012 based on the mayan calendar) and claim their half of the deal, who knows what it would be. is it possible our forefathers sold us out to be condemned? 2000 years sounds like a long time when your making a deal with someone but the time is coming.....maybe:rastasmoke:

excellent topic.

as far as the coincidences of our famous friends passing on, like someone else said already - celebrities are mortal two. and just another spec of information about coincidences... Coincidences are a natural occurence. it would, in fact, be a coincidence if on any given day, coincdences did NOT happen.

ponder that

and as for the 2012 thing... i've been thinking lately about whether or not there is some cosmic planet heading our way to destroy our civilization, or some other natural disaster that the Mayans somehow foresaw...

but really, it's kind of like that scene in The Matrix where the Oracle tells Neo not to worry about breaking the vase... and then he breaks it. And she presents him with the question, Would you have broken the vase if I hadn't said anything?

My latest ponderances have been similar... I have been wondering if, because we are putting so much attention on this 2012 thing, if there's gonna be some country in 2012 that just decides to make the future come true and blow us up to bits.

Basically I'm saying I think man will CHOOSE, or rather is capable OF choosing to make this disaster come true... which leads me to the following question: Would the world have survived if nobody had ever predicted it's end?

If you want to see a very trippy movie trailer?...go to hulu and watch the movie trailer...2012...preferably ...:stoned:

Yeah I've already seen both trailers, I think it is going to be one of the most epic movies to ever come out in theaters soon. The CGI is incredible :thumbsup:, it'd be best to go to apple's website and what the HD video trailer for it!!

But even if this 2012 is to be true, how did the Mayans foresee the future?? Supposedly the Mayans died off or people claim that they have no idea where they went in all honesty..let's say they died off and the Mayan calender was not completely finished. Still to this day for how intelligent humans are we are still not that intelligent as we think (we still can't figure out the human brain to a 100% :wtf. What if there is more to read from that calender but we aren't that bright to understand it?? I mean everything happens for a reason in life even if there is no explanation to it or we just don't see one for it. Every race in the past thought there was something such as a higher power and to this day we have came to find out that they were wrong in what they believed it, so are we wrong in what we believe in?? But then I have many other questions that contradict everything I just typed down haha

Maybe we aren't suppose to know until we pass on?? Mind boggling isn't it, almost makes you want to go insane sometimes haha :yippee:
