Kay, recently I saw a commercial. It wasn't for a hygiene or fat reducing or even male/female enhancement or even previews for the next movie to hit Hollywood. This commercial was focused on December 21, 2012. The supposed 'end of the world', to say I am Sceptical is an understatement, yes, I am well aware of the end of the world. Or so what various calenders from ancient times predict. I am not scoffing at that, I am scoffing at this commercial, how they'll perform a lottery to pick the ellegable people. That is the most fair and impartial ways of doing things.
This commercial is for the possibly of a massive solar flare striking the earth. Possible. But, in my mind, they should be coming up with a way to protect Earth, the whole of Earth, instead of saving a few thousand people. Plus, in my state of mind, I would sooner think that these people are simply playing on peoples fears to make money, not that if the world ends, that it'll matter. So, what if this solar flare that will reportedly destroy the surface doesn't hit? What if its damage is minimal? Those are my questions pretaining to that scenario.
But, then, other possibilities of the world coming to an end is Meteor X, aka Niburu, hitting the Earth. I don't know about you, but an asteroid the size of Texas hitting Earth, no matter how deep you dig down, there is no way in hell that anybody would survive. For what is it that all things need to live with? Oxygen. And guess what, according to predictions, if Niburu hits, it'll take approximately 10km of the earths crust with it. All atmosphere and oxygen would be gone, so you could have a shelter some fifty kilometres below the earths surface.
Some directors theorize that the earth is simply going to rotate on its axis some 180 degrees, which'll completely screw up the earths crust. Or, this one is especially my favourite! All of human technology is going to rise up and smite us!
Seriously though, if the world is going to end, be by flare, meteor, or shifting of its axis, I would sooner stay on surface then live in a cramped quarters with fifty other people. I require my personal space.
In any case, there is one thing guarenteed, nobody knows exactly what 2012 will bring. And, should it come to the world ending, so be it. However, I cannot abide by anybody playing on the fears of most people just to make a quick bit of money.
