I have no source, and i'm too lazy to look it up but...i heard nostradamus' predictions stop at 2012. i also heard there is an ancient chinese prophecy that says 2012.
Well, there you go. Just because you heard something doesn't mean that it's true. I'm not gonna say anything about you being "too lazy to look it up" because I've been too lazy to look things up. However, people say shit a lot and, more often than not, they're wrong.
Its hard to believe that any prophecy makes mention of 2012 because they've all mentioned at least one date before 2012, until that date came and passed without anything happening. As far as any resource I could get my hands on are concerned, there aren't any prophecies that explicitly mention the world ending in 2012.

I heard that even some great prophet can't foresee year after 2012,they say in 2012 will happened a great calamity, but the humanity will remain exist.
Anyway,even if it is true or not,its still inevitable, so no points in thinking too much about it

My neighbor, his name is Bob, I was talking to him while having a beer. Now, he had told me that he could see the future. I was amazed, so I asked him about 2012, and he told me that something big is going to happen. Like GIANT big. But he couldn't tell anyone what it was in fear of screwing up the space-time continuum. So after my 20th beer, I got pissed off that he wouldn't answer, so I beat the shit out of him with the beer bottles I had lying around. When I stopped, he finally told me, that there was going to be mass hysteria and panic. People were going to riot and loot because the world was going to "end." Everyone would wake up the next morning and people would start going to jail for being fucking retarded.

That's what happens when you don't check your resources. I'm not sure where you got your info from, but I can say with 100% certainty that they either knew shit or got their info from someone else that didn't know shit about where the 2012 doomsday theory originated from.
First, it isn't from a prophet or a prophecy, the general idea is derived from the Mesoamerican calendar. It doesn't say anything about the world ending, its only the end of a cycle. Second, there isn't anything about a calamity occurring. That's just a radical presumption based upon the fact that the Mayans, one of many cultures that used the same calendar system, believed mankind was created the last time the end of this particular cycle occurred.
Although many people are banking on December 21, 2012 being the end of the world, which is reason enough to start asking questions, its not gonna happen. Interestingly enough, a significant majority of those putting stock into the 2012/doomsday bullshit belong to one of the many Christian groups that are desperately anticipating the end of the world to fulfill their convoluted perceptions about what the Bible says because the world didn't end with the last millennium.
It's ironic that Christians are contributing the most to the momentum of this crap, seeing as how they maliciously destroyed anything that could possibly help us understand Mesoamerican cultures. When Spain colonized the region, one of their intentions was to systematically destroy native cultures and beliefs in order to promote righteous Christian ideals. That alone is a major reason why, over the course of 30-40 years, we've learned so little about many pre-Columbian civilizations compared to those outside of the Americas.

To Hell with the Mayan. And if i am not mistaken, there was also a prediction a comet that will so-called 'end of the world' is going to hit earth. In the end? People still go around and fuck around. Seriously many people is affected with the stupid movie.

I really wish people would do a little bit of research before spewing off crap about the Mesoamerican Long Court Calender. It doesn't "end" on December 21, 2012. That is simply the end of the cycle. Cycles have come and gone before on the Mayan calender. There is nothing that shows the Mayans ever assumed that the date would be the end of the world, only some stupid religious zealots.

December 21, 2012. This is the supposed date of the end of the world. Some people believe that the Mayan calender accurately predicts the end of the world. The reasons for the end of the world are said to be anything from a final showdown between God and Satan to a switch in the magnetic poles. Believers claim that prophets such as Nostradamus also confirm what the Mayan calender is telling us. There has even been a movie about it (however ridiculous it might have been).
I personally believe that if the world ends on 2012, it will be because of people who belive that the worlds going to end and going out and doing somrthing stupid because of that (like robbing, murdering, riots, etc...). Other than that I think nothing too major will go down in 2012, at least nothing major enough to end the world as we know it.
So FAKKU! What do you think? Are you worried or are you going to go through 2012 like any other year?

Or maybe the Mayans decided they could live without making calenders for the next several hundred years.

I'm not that worried. The world was going to end in the year 2000 with the 2K bug. if we believe those conspiracy guys all the time the world would have ended a few thousand times already.
the Maya that are still following the old traditions say the world is not going to end but will change.
I'm not a believer so everything with prophets, God, Satan and whatever the like is a load of bullcrap to me. But that's my own opinion. however the chance of polarity in our magnetic field is possible. however during the change it does leave us exposed to the sun because the magnetic field acts as a shield. I forgot what would chance our magnetic field, I saw it a few weeks ago on Discovery Channel, but it slips my mind.
the change in polarity will also destroy our existing technology (world wide EMP) and it would take years to get everything back up and running.
Also there has been talk about "Planet X". (conspiracy: government wants to keep planet X quiet to prevent chaos)
Some say it doesn't exist. (most astronomers agree)
Some say it exist.
some say it exists but no threat.
others say it will pass the earth and stop the rotation of the earth. (although that has to be a near miss and will kill everything when it passes)
and others say it will crash head on with our planet.
and then of course you have the world wide disease that kills and turns everyone into zombies or the like.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh yes, I'm sure a bunch of ancient primitives knew stuff about the next few years that we haven't been able to figure out with modern science. Pull the other one, it's got bells on it!
Y2K wasn't even this retarded, as least back then the problem was tangible and we had some idea of what MIGHT cause the end of the world, this is just some superstitious nonsense from a dead culture that only people with a single-digit IQ would pay any serious attention to.

Yes, I am extremely worried; it will be the year a bunch of failures will realize they were wrong and in desperation, will try to make the shit happen themselves.

I'm sure a few of you remember Y2K right?
(And upon further inspection, I see that point was brought up already. Still, it makes sense, right?)
They said some serious shit was gonna hit the fan then too. Planes falling out of the sky, nukes launching themselves (Only heard that one once or twice...)
This is the same thing, get over it. Just some rumor that got too large for it's own good. It's a small piece of mass hysteria.
