I sense a confluence...

[Hetzer]

...of events.

2012 just around the corner, the capitalist system is finally unravelling, the climate is in meltdown and ET has anounced he's to make himself known to the masses.

Coincidence?

Fingers crossed we just happened to be born to be alive when the real big sh!t hits the fan.

Christian escatology has been pointing at 2008 for a while.

A guy called Ronald Weinland claims to be the last prophet - we actually the last pair, as his wife is too. He's been predicting away for at least 10 years, and has been tolerably accurate, although his predictions have been somewhat vague. All of it is based on the events in the book of revelations unfolding.

Anyway, the basis of his stuff is that 2008 is where mankind gets past the point of no return - he predicted a financial collapse starting off the collapse of western life, and leading into a massive war, proving once and for all that man is incapable of running the earth.

Then Jesus Christ comes back, takes charge, and everything is great for the next thousand years. We also get to go back to living for hundreds of years, as in the old testament.

He wrote a book with the predictions of all this stuff falling over during 2008 back in 2006, when it wasn't that obvious. So the man may be on to something.

So don't rule out Jesus. I know there's no proof, I know its not trendy, but its just as valid as aliens.

If any of these events are true - the second coming, aliens, mayan calendar, it puts a lot of stuff in perspective. Buying a house, getting a mortgage, saving. All may turn out to be a bit pointless.
Accumulating assets and knowledge that you can actually use makes more sense. A lot of teenagers in Holland are buying boats and tinned food.

Time will tell. Luckily, seeing as I am of the playstation generation and therefore have an attention span measured in minutes, none of the predictions involve waiting too long.

Of course, if it's all not true, the stock market recovers, life carries on as normal, we'll be psychopathically bored out of our skulls by 2015.

Inspired post Robby


I really, honestly would like something to happen on October 14th. Just to see the look on peoples faces after theyve spouted bullshit like "Its ridiculous!"

For fucks sake, we know its unlikely, it will probably be absolutely nothing at all, and as Robby says, we'll be bored again by 2015. But what if it did. What would your reaction be if they came "in peace"? Or...howabout they came and destroyed us? Made war on our planet? Imagine if the army started a round up of able bodied young men once again? The entire planet unites and goes to war? Epic. Dark, impossible probably, but epic.

But how is it so hard to even entertain the possibility of other life out there, that out of thousands of planets and tons of solar systems, we are the only life form? It just seems fuckin' naive.



However. The imagination is a powerful entity. And mine got carried away.

I would genuinely be getting gear together, singular war hero stylee, belts of ammunition, hundreds of guns.


Im imaging a "Lobby Scene" recreation, from the Matrix.


Alien: "Excahuse me human, do you have any loose change, keys, valuable items etc..."

*Opens coat in slow-mo and looks cooly up at the alien*

Alien: "Holy crutsfaeces!"

*slams the alien with a flat palm, whops out two mp5's and lets rip, all in bullet time*

I'd be wanting the special DVD: "All urban conurbations with one-million or more inhabitants levelled by photon-cannon."

Children and kittens evacuated first of course.

Interestingly, perhaps, is that the site which hosts the latest version of the timezero software has been down since October 2nd.......

Whats going to happen in 2012 again? Do I need to tell the milkman not to bother with our usual?

Just do what you did the night before the Millenium bug was about to destroy the world.

Dom, the end of the world is a very possible situation. Pretending that it's never going to happen is only going to make it more likely.

I bet after a thousand-odd years of continuous empire the extant Romans never thought the show was about to come to an end. Same mind-set going on here. All we've got that's different is technology, and the way it's being used it's not going to be of any use saving this particular civilisation. If anything it'll hasten the end.

Get used to the idea people, we've run out of everything and there are too many people about to fight for what's left. This show is nearly over.

YAY!!!

I don't think the end of the world is coming, I just acknowledge it as a possibility, and strangely enough enjoy (using the term loosely) discussing it with like-minded sadists.

But ultimately, you're completely right. There's nothing we can do about it, so just enjoy yourself. I'm not letting it get me down. At least not right now.

It's easy to say "just enjoy yourself" when you have food in your belly and a roof over your head.
