Wow a lot of good discussion.
As far as 2012 there are many prophecy and predicts, I searched end of the world failed predicts, and on Wiki you find a very long list, A lot of Religious predicts, return of Christ, antichrist, people that have studied their whole lives done all the math, a few meteorologist with meteor predicts, planetary alignments, and so on you can check it on wiki, but These ideas have been happening for a long time through history, I don't exactly know what it means, why have we been always predicting the end or our demise. I know one thing it's not happening for no reason.
There is some significance for sure.
To Even think of the world ending is a privilege.

Another thing that got my attention from Terence a little random but just came to me, Is that the trouble we face is our level of communication, for instance when i am speaking to you, and you think you understand me, I cannot assume that you fully understand what i mean or what i am trying to say, assuming that our dictionaries are the same, they are not. The world is made of language and many humans if not all struggle to be understood.
