Do other kids keep up the rumors of the world ending in 2012, or does everyone just like the scary thought of it?

Though the plot is fictional, this scenario has occurred many times in the real world. In 1997 Michael Drosnin published a best-selling book titled "The Bible Code," in which he claimed that the Bible contained a code (hidden in numbers and letters) accurately predicting past world events. Drosnin's work was later refuted, with critics demonstrating that the "meanings" he found were simply the result of selectively choosing data sets from a vast sea of random letters.
Similar "hidden codes" were found in other books such as "Moby Dick" and "War and Peace," demonstrating that any sizeable text can produce such codes if you look long enough.
In psychology, the tendency for the human mind to find coincidences, patterns, and connections in random data is called apophenia.
Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ Apopheniahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophenia
Apophenia is the experience of seeing patterns or connections in random or meaningless data. The term was coined in 1958 by Klaus Conrad,[1] who defined it as the "unmotivated seeing of connections" accompanied by a "specific experience of an abnormal meaningfulness".

lol, Maybe research the questions your children are asking and give them an answer??? Is that hard? Read this.
Two years ago, Patrick Geryl, then 51, quit his job as a laboratory worker for a French oil company. He’d saved up just enough money to last him until December 2012. After that, he thought, he wouldn’t need it anyway.
apocalypse
Unprecedented catastrophe will precede the end of the world in 2012, believers say, such as massive earthquakes, tidal waves and volcanic eruptions, among other calamities.
Instead, Geryl, a soft-spoken man who had studied chemistry in his younger years, started preparing for the apocalypse. He founded a “survival group” for likeminded men and women, aimed at living through the catastrophe he knew was coming.
He started gathering materials necessary to survive — water purifiers, wheelbarrows (with spare tires), dust masks and vegetable seeds. His list of survival goods runs 11 pages long.
“You have to understand, there will be nothing, nothing left,” Geryl told ABC News from his home in Antwerp, Belgium. “We will have to start an entire civilization from scratch.”

That’s because Geryl believes the world as we know it will end in 2012. He points to the ancient Maya cyclical calendars, the longest of which last renewed itself approximately 5,125 years ago and is set to end again, supposedly with catastrophic consequences, in 2012. He speaks of the ancient Egyptians, who, he claims, saw 2012 as a year of great change too. And he points to science: NASA predicts a sharp increase in the number of sunspots and sun flares for 2012, he said, sure to cause electrical failures and satellite disruptions.
All this adds up, Geryl said, to unprecedented catastrophe. First, a polar reversal will cause the north to become the south and the sun to rise in the west. Shattering earthquakes, massive tidal waves and simultaneous volcanic eruptions will follow. Nuclear reactors will melt, buildings will crumble, and a cloud of volcanic dust will block out the sun for 40 years. Only the prepared will survive, Geryl said, and not even all of them.
These may sound like the ravings of a madman, or perhaps the head of a small apocalyptic sect. But Geryl is not the only one who believes in the apocalypse. Thousands of people worldwide seem to be preparing, in one way or another, for the end of days in 2012. Survival groups exist in Europe, Canada and the United States. A simple Google search for “2012″ and “the end of the world” brings up nearly 300,000 hits. And the video-sharing Web site YouTube hosts more than 65,000 clips informing and warning viewers about their fate in 2012.
But for all the hype, there is little evidence the ancient Maya ever intended for the end of their calendar to be read as a portent for disaster. –the Maya saw their “long count” — the longest of their cyclical calendars — coming to an end in 2012 but also beginning anew on that date, without disastrous consequences.
You can get them to stop asking their questions, by answering them, or going Socratic method on them, and keep asking them why they think so, and where they heard it, how the Mayans would know, etc.
It sounds like they are watching the History Channel, there was a doc. on this very subject recently.
it freaks me out cuz of a lot of stuff thats actually true
but the bible says NOONE knows when the world will end
my mom tells me everyones head is one world one life so when you die your world dies hard to explain but it means no matter what everyone will die within time before that or after
BUT i HATE how they say it will end cuz they say its 2012 of dec 21st and thats my sons 6th bday!!!
You know what’s hysterical? The fact that our year is not technically 2009. By virtue of blunders of early church theologians, our calendar is a bit off by a couple of years. Since trying to correct the mistake would throw everything off, it naturally remained uncorrected even until today.
This is a life long issue… When I was young it was gonna end so many times. Remember what they said about 1999. lol Just relax when it ends no one will be around to say they were right. I don’t know about you but Im working on my wings. So when the lord is ready to get me im ready, and if there is a time that the world will end at once. Well more power to it. Just think everyone you love will go as well. sounds good to me.
Our school doesn’t talk about it too much but the other day a friend brought it up with me and i said i don’t believe it because if it did happen that year i would be pissed because that is the year i graduate and if i had just gone through 14 years for nothing ( i got held back) than that would suck.
I use to be a high school teacher and my students would ask me these conspiracy questions all the time and I would give them logical answers. Yes some refused to except the logical truth but the students who like to think about the answers I give them would sometime turn around. My point? Do not treat the way you answer them like you are dealing with a child. Answer them like an adult and stay logical with you focus in you answer and some will see the light. My opinion.
Now you feel what we adults/scientists feel. We get sick and tired of little immature teenagers/kids who don’t know their facts.
BEFORE YOU ASK QUESTIONS, YOU MUST HAVE SOME BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE. That’s all I can say to teenagers/kids who know “NOTHING” about 2012.
And besides..even with technology, we can’t even teach kids at young age about the Mayan Calendar.
I’ll be laughing at the kids/teenagers who believed in all this crap like they did with the Y2K and go on and live the life I wanted to.
We can’t, amd we shouldn’t.
It’s part of the price we pay for an uncensored Net.
People can & will post bullsh*t, and others will read and believe it.
If it really bothers you, write up & save a nice complete careful text file
for the question and just paste it in as an answer each time you see that
dumb annoying question.
Send feedback to Y!A that they should add a filter, any question involving 2012, Nibiru, etc, gets automatically deleted.
It’s really all silly, anyway.
But anything that scares kids has got to be dealt with. Either Y!A does it on its own or someone gets them to.
Either educate them or wait till 2012. But if we educate them too much than they will be smart enough to keep feeding their friends the 2012 lie so that the smart one can make the dumb ones panic… uh huh….. yes… I see where I am going with this. Make sure kids are just smart enough to no longer be dumb.
Find there IP address track them down, sterilize them so they can’t breed and lobotomize them so they can’t ask the questions anymore.
Man i miss the Moon Hoax, LHC Doomsday, Is My Friend An Alien questions.
Just tell them that what will be, will be. We can’t stop the sun of rising in morning. we can’t change what will happen. Some people are making more out of this then thy need to. Just for the fun of it.
just to clarify, the mayans didn’t say the world was going to end in 2012, that’s just where their calendar ends. They probably figured 2012 was enough in the future to end it
If the world ends in 2012, I’m cool with that. In 2013 hardly anyone will mention it anymore, kinda like how the big Y2K scare fizzled out.
the mayans were probably just tired of making the whole calendar thingie and stopped it! whateveer, tell them they have to die anyways!
Tell them I graduate in 2012, so it obviously doesn’t end that year. The world is going to end in 2000. everybody knows that
Just wait until 2012, then they will stop naturally when the world doesn’t end.
Who is Socratic Method??
We could stop answering the 2012 questions – oh crap I’m a hypocrite!
Take away their keyboards until 12-22-12
not sure yet
the same way we can get gals to quit asking “am i pregnant”
or rate me or am i cute
education,education,education!!
I think 2012 is a myan version of Y2K nothing will happen.
Why stop them from asking questions?
…or if the world end…either way.
tell them to stop
Two words:
Cattle Prods
We’re all gonna die!!!!!! Tell your little spoiled ingrates of children that the end is near!!!
tell them its a suprise when we get there
