<Accept for the thousands of people that believe they are made by aliens and that they have been abducted by them. Do you think before you type or is just a natural flow, like diarrhea?>
I will begin here as it will follow your train of thought.
Yes you are right, except is the word I meant to use, thank you for the correction, however, it does make sense, in context. See how it was a response to another statement? Though, with the English skills you posses such a connection would be easily made, right? PS: Some people do believe that humans have been MADE by aliens perhaps it was your ignorance that confused you. Since when did the point become evidence vs beliefs? I thought it was about helping people understand that they have been hoodwinked into believing something that is not true, especially something that increases their level of paranoia. Why are you not as happy to leave the children in their fantasy worlds of 2012 doomsday? Perhaps you feel like a saint helping poor, frightened children, then again, Andy has admitted to not being a child yet feeling anxiety about 2012. Since there is no evidence that 2012 will bring about an end to the world do you think that Andy should be left to his world of fantasy and imagination?
As far as your go at answering my actual questions,
<How can you be scared of a 2012 doomsday scenario? Personally, I find the idea exciting. What a fresh and thorough rejuvenation of our world and way of life.>
>I don't find the prospect of death and destruction exciting. You are either playing devil's advocate or you have a rather childlike detatchment (I THINK YOU MEANT detachment) from reality.<
As you can see here, your fear is not of 2012 but death. Perhaps if 2012 was presented to you in a different way, say a global enlightenment of the human race, you might reconsider your connection between death and the date.
<To me it sounds like the problem you are trying to solve is how to make people not fear death. WOW! Good luck! How do you plan on spreading out of the 2012 spectrum?>
>No. Explaining to someone that they are not going to die is not the same as making them not fear death.<
Oh, but the fact of the matter is that they WILL die, everyone dies. The sooner you understand this the sooner you can begin to accept (I used the right one this time) your fate. No matter how many years you put under your belt nothing can save your body from ceasing function at one point or another. You are trying to say that you are explaining to people that they will not die on 2012, but what if they do, through natural or supernatural causes die in the year 2012?
<Once again, to me it seems as if anything outside 2012 and the multiple theories surrounding that date is easy enough to blow off as silly isn't it? "I guess not a lot of people are worried about crushed grain">
>Since all the theories surrounding 2012 are silly, I'll quite happily explain that to any kids who fear that they are going to die. Feel free to elaborate on any that you feel not to be silly. Of course, debating the physics of the 2012 'predictions' is something the 12-tards avoid at all costs because they will be out of their depth.<
First I would like for you to know that I do not know what will happen in 2012. However I believe that life will continue as normal. Because of this, I do not feel that any scenarios are not silly, but my statement was directed at the fact that if you make a site dedicated to preventing fear of death on the date 2012 because of amateur videos on youtube, you might want to consider other sources of fear children have these days. Onwards, you seem to contradict your view on people who believe in 2012. By "12-tards" do you mean people that believe 2012 will happen, and that they might die on this date? The same people you are talking about as being the kids who fear they are going to die? This must be the same group, logically. Notice how yet another member of this forum refers to the same people they are defending, protecting, and saving in a negative way without even realizing it. I know that you are truly referring to the people who spread around their opinion on what is going to happen on 2012. It is important for you to remember, all physics arguments aside, that it is just that, an opinion, as no on can predict the future, that I know of, not the people who make youtube videos and especially not you, so referring to these people as having less intelligence than you do over an opinion is not complementary to your argument. Good try.
