Do you believe the world will end on December 21, 2012?
People (and annoyingly, the History Channel) always point to Nostradamus as this apparently fail-proof source of impending doom and destruction. What they won't tell you is that there were a large number of predictions Nostradamus made that were wrong. And don't give the Mayan calender prediction baloney because one fact people love to omit is that it's the end of one calendar and the start of another.
Personally, I will make plans for December 22, 2012 without hesitation. The world was supposed to descend into nuclear holocaust after computers went haywire for Y2K and we're still here, right?

Nostradamus was a quack! If I wrote down a bunch of predictions, in time, someone could find where they come true. (People believe what they want, tragedy foremost)
I don't think anything will happen. Some people will be very disappointed, but I am sure they will come up with a new doomsday they can look forward to
The same history channel also used Nostradamus to predict WWIII before the year 2000. Remember the yahoos that went to the mountains on -12/31/1999 because the world was going to end the next day.... I predict on the date 12-31-2999 the same will be true. And that will start with the 3, the number of trinity so it must be true then., (sarcasm)

You are correct, but you are also probably pretty young.
Those of us who are not young remember times before Y2K when the world was going to end. 1990, I think, was one--I remember it was a certain date in October. The movement was big in Korea, although it carried over here--I still remember someone with a REPENT sign on the side of his car and the date. People in Korea deserted the army and went to church to sit and wait for the world to end.
Go back further--1000 years before Y2K, people sat in churches on 12/31/999 because the world was supposed to end then, too.
Mid-nineteenth century in the US was also very big on End-Of-The-World cults. They were all over the place. Some of them survived and morphed into long-term religions--The Mormons, the Seventh-Day Adventists, and the Jehovahs Witnesses all started as End-of-the-World cults from that time period. Many more just died out.
I flip my calendar over every year, and its not the end of the world.
