Do you know any 12/21ers? (Limbaugh, drug, conspiracy, 9/11)

What is your conversation with them like? I know a few, I try not to laugh because they get very angry.

[KUchief25]

Don't laugh yet. There is a giant planet out there hidden by the moon that may still plow into us on friday according to some. What does Limbaugh say about it anyway?

The last guy I talked to, while trying to convince me that it was going to happen, told me that the Mayans predicted 9/11.

Mayans predict the end of the world in 2012, yet couldn't predict their own annihilation at the hands of the Spanish conquistadors years later.

Mayan empire collapse 5 centuries before the arrival of the Spanish.

What's more puzzling is that they couldn't predict the next days let alone next seasons weather .

Empire collapses, culture does not. Their language is still spoken in Mexico and central America.

Here is some more information. Indeed the Mayans were still an identifyable people and culture when the Spanish came.

They were far-sighted. Duh. Really, really far-sighted.

I do know one single person who believes in this nonsense. I met him years ago on a beach in Central America and for the most part, he was somewhere between constantly drunk and permanently high. A while ago, he found his spirituality and is currently convinced that the Mayans were right.

He wrote me an email a few weeks ago wondering if I would visit him before the end of the world. Something to do with re-aligning with people whose company he had enjoyed in life.

While I find his belief laughable, I find him far less offensive than some of the conspiracy theorists on this board. He was actually quite pleasant and fascinating in his drunken, drugged-out state - even though a coherent conversation was rather challenging.

I don't believe it at all, nor do I know anyone who does.

That said, I wouldn't mind.
The world is so whacked that this would be a good time for it to end.
