FUBAR

[Cajolocs]

Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition
This may seem like a weird title to an insane thread, but right now I'm FUBAR.

All of you are familiar with the date 21st December 2012. People say that at 11:11 a.m. GMT that day something big is going to happen. Giant EMP, Polar Shift, Total Anarchy, Nuclear Power Stations Blowing Up, etc. I have read many articles that present actual scientifical proof that siht like this might actually come down. A crazy ammount of "paranoid nutjobs", as you would call them, are preparing. I read an article from a 40 year old guy that escaped from his abusive parents in the mountains when he was 10, had military training, huge ammounts of ration and guns in his house. I feel very... unsecure? It's not that I'm not prepared to die, I can accept my death all day long. I just can't bear the thought of losing "my dog". I love "my dog" over anything in the world, even if "it" doesn't feel the same way; it's a unlogical thing, but I just can't help it.

This is kind of a cry for help. I feel down. I just want certainty of something impossible.
Sorry for bothering you, but I really need someone else to talk with...

How about this. I promise nothing's going to happen and if I'm wrong you can punch me in hell. Okay?

[Killing_Time]

The Earth is not going belly-up. Quit reading pseudo science and join the real world.

There, cheer enough for ya?

At least this is what I'm hoping you mean, your post is rather incoherent.

I remember that yesterday, I had a dream. I was located somewhere near Dresden in the dream, looking at a reconstruction of WW2. Then I looked at the skies, and saw ICBMs flying all around, closing in. My last thought in the dream was "and this is it? Is it what we are going to end our lives with?"
How realistic it was... Then I woke up, and, realizing that it was all a dream, I still gained insight in death.

Normally I would make some jokes about how anyone who believes in the 2012 doomsday theories are idiots followed by subtle suggestions that "my dog" is some sort of unusual euphemism, and while I do think that 2012 is going to be as void of doomsdays as the rest of time, I'm not gonna mock you. All I can say is that I've had a rough past few days and am feeling pretty down too. So I guess what I'm trying to say is:

[Flashlight]

What exactly is a "dog"?

[Rockonman]

What he said.

But yea, you don't have to worry about anything. We're all going to survive, nothing is going to happen. All the Mayan calander that the myth is based on says that the calendar is ending/end of an age. So you have nothing to worry about.

[Cajolocs]

Thanks guys...
And Vic, I think that, no matter what happens, I will never feel the need to punch you.

[Mastersarge Redux]

Wow. You are a total FUBAR. But do not worry Caj, no matter what anyone says 2012 will probably blow over like those two other so called doomsday dates. Oh and let's not forget 1666 or 6/6/2006 or the Y2K.
But don't you worry about that. You are going to live a happy healthy life, that I am sure. Just look on the positive side and enjoy life. And make the best out of your life.

Thank you for revealing this incredibly useful and easily exploitable characteristic.

My guess on that: the mayans probably all got killed before they could finish their damn calendar. Everything's gonna be fine. There's gonna be no EMP, polar shift or zombies and shit, there is not enough psychos who beleive in that stuff to create total anarchy, chillax, bro!

[Zolen]

Thanks guys...

But that was the only form of entertainment I was looking forward to down there. I even got some fire proof popcorn.

At the risk of being very melodramatic and cheesy...

If it makes you feel any better, I am myself also afraid of the concept of non-existence, as all creatures are - hell, even grass reacts to defend itself when you cut it. Fear is the natural concern for ones well being and survival, and thus most people are instinctively troubled by the concept of death, with the possible exception of morons, psychos or the deeply spiritual and/or religious. You'll also note that these 3(or 4) kinds of people are the only ones coming up with these retarded doomsday theories to begin which is a funny bit of trivia.

You have an equal chance of dying on the 21st of December as any other day of the year. It's mortality that makes life worth living, so try to see it from a different perspective. If you're truly still nervous that your life will end this December, and it might, then dedicate this year towards doing all the stuff you want to do before death, or at least as many as possible. Live life as you would if you were dying because - guess what! - you are. You might drop down dead tomorrow or in 40 years. No one knows, so waste as little time as possible.

Which is kinda funny because it's only the sensationalist/small left-wing groups that scream most about doomsday prophesies.

This is most certainly true.

I once had a similar dream, but in somewhere around Kabul in Afghanistan, but in the war. My squad was pinned down in a small hotel. We had to save every bit of food and water, down to one sip and one bite a day. I couldn't help but think how cruel everything was. I don't want to start talking about it again, but... I don't think I've cried harder in my life after that dream.

So, did we repair him or what?

*bashes head with wrench* Ruhpear!

[Big Boom]

I don't think you need to worry about December 21st

[Oscar]

This 2012 thing reminds me of the millennium-bug-doom hype thing. Except that the millennium-bug-doom actually sounded slightly plausible in my young ears.

Nothing to worry about, Cajolocs

[Shinoi]

If world ends, I will at least die happy with a thought not even idiots will survive this time.

[Tyemdi]

If it makes you feel any better, you can counter negative pseudoscience (we're all going to die!) with positive pseudoscience (we're going to be 'enligthened!').

Thank you for revealing this incredibly useful and easily exploitable characteristic.

Vic, you should probably be an insult comic.

[Victory]

Yes. Yes, I've always wanted to be a comic. Perhaps a web comic written upside down in hieroglyphs... Nah.
