Ignore 2012 fearmongering

while this is mostly true in general, was there some particular "it" this is in reference to?

 

Might refer to the fearmongering in the title of this topic, maybe?

 

It might not be something physical thats going down. It might not be about protests and elections and physical actions or material things.

I don't think it will be anyway :sunny:

 

Wait, I'm confused.. I thought the world had already ended

 

It's a slow decline...

 

'Death of a thousand cuts'...always just below the pain threshold. :smoking:

 

Wait till the dump that salt on those cuts... Then you'll realize.

 

Bath salts?

 

it has a thousand times, and risen from its soggy wet ashes a thousand and one. pity that.

in another thousand, homofuzzius will be digging our middens and puzzling over our love of polymer containers.

 

We could get sucked into space and die on impact at any time.

 

Yup.

An asteroid the size of a city screamed past our little island in space just last week.

One astronomer said that it was "alarmingly close".


:hide:

 

I knew I should have used bigger magnets. :banghead:

 

I hear HAARPS playing.

 

Dammit!

when i was little, national geographic used to be mostly objective, even if they did advertise cadalacks and bentleys. of course they also had lots of pictures of whole civilizations who lived out in the woods and ran around naked.

 

Since I'm the one who started this thread I suppose it's down to me to say

LAST CHANCE TO DANCE!!!!!


What are you doing tonight? I'm playing a gig in London.
Anyone who plans to party tomorrow night is assuming that the supposed "21st December event" - whatever it may be - will occur at the end of that day.
Why not the hours just after midnight? or the pre-dawn hours? or breakfast time? or (etc etc)

90% of tomorrow will have happened before 9.36pm

 

2012 has come and gone, like the year 2000, and the year 1984, and the year 1844, and ever so many others. suprised? no. disappointed? no.

many things happened between 2000 and 2013 we could have all lived without.
many happened beginning in 1980.

for those of us who weren't stoned in the 1970s it was in america an amazing and wonderful time of awakening and enlightenment, which the 1980 ended with a crash, and not of reality but a greedy, short sighted backward headedness, compensated only by the internet going public and personal computers getting powerful enough to do interesting things on them.

so we have another time and another chance to build another era not based on the superstitions of the past, though also just as many excuses to use them to destroy ourselves.

i think we've been beating ourselves long enough, from 1980 til now. long enough for enough people to have gotten tired enough of doing so, for us to actually again begin looking forward and building the kind of future that is where we want to go.
