Re: im scared about 2012
A. 2012 is the incorrect date. B. Modern Mayan descendants claim through oral tradition that the calender's end has nothing to do with the end of the world. C. The actual calender itself in no way mentions the end of the world, it simply ends at an unspecified date. D. There is no factual evidence that it is the end of the world.
Of course human life on Earth will probably end sooner or later due to nuclear war or some other artificial means, but that will probably not happen for quite a long time.
The maximum amount of time we have is still 5 billion years when our sun becomes a Red Giant, but obviously you need not worry about that.

Re: im scared about 2012
They've disproved all the 2012 theories so many times, I don't even know why people even bother worrying. At this point it's all hype and a chance for companies to cash in on the public's fear.
Believe me - we're at no more risk on December 21, 2012 than we are right now.
I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Re: im scared about 2012
Don't worry about it- for centuries people have been predicting the end of the world and causing uproar and distress everywhere, but they've always been wrong.
A recent prediction that upset a lot of people was the Y2K Bug, or, the Year 2000 Bug. Many people were afraid that a bug in computers would cause them to go haywire and cause mass chaos, bringing back people to dark ages.
The Mayan calendar didn't even end at 2012, it simply stopped for a time then restarted.

Re: im scared about 2012
No, no problem at all. Plus they got the date of the calendar's end WRONG. In fact, I can't remember anyone being scared until the movie came out...

yeah really whats scarier than 2012 is what people might do if they actually believe it
;_______________;

Re: im scared about 2012
Nobody believes the 2012 thing. However, there are a few people that think the world will end or something on May 21st this year, so maybe we should be more worried about that. (Not that it's going to happen)

Re: im scared about 2012
the mayans were ended hundreds of years ago (when Spain conquered mexico). I am surprised that the calendar even GOES this long. I mean, they had it made at least 4 centuries in advance.
