A Happy New Year, indeed!




But seriously: Is anyone here really expecting a happy 2012, and more even 20XX to follow?

Unless belonging to the profiteering top class, how do you invision happy times in a collapsing eco system and exploding poverty?

This is not meant rhetorically.
I am really curious to get a notion of optimist / unaltered expectancy layout.

no not really. in contrast, I'm expecting the end of the world by the end of 2012
seriously look at all those earthquakes, tsunamis, protestions and wars
some articles already stated that scary earthquakes and mountains' eruption are yet to come.
so no .. I'm not very optimistic actually.

I think some of you younger aficionados dont realize just how lucky you are to live in this day and age!

After spending a few New Year's eves and other cold winter's nights(1939,40,41) as a 5/6 year-old ; shivering in a stinking air raid shelter listening to bombs and guns blasting away all night - plus living on fish and chips and occasional frozen rabbits - I might perhaps stretch a point and say that things are probably 'not as bad as you think they will be'. At least, from a Western World standpoint, anyway.

Happy New Year everybody. Enjoy it to the full while you can. And may your fingers never seize up ( like mine. . . )

keep in mind that No ancient civilization ( not even the Mayans!) and No prophet ever predicted doomsday. Only God knows when that day is!

So what?
Has anyone beeing rivaling for predicting a single day, or what are you actually aiming at?

God won´t help you in estimating status quo; facts will.
How about reading up on environmental factors and how they are exponentially effecting each other, before following a lull idea of a basically unpredictable future in the first place.

If you take a handful of salt you will die.
Beyound certain proportions things become rather concrete.
Unfortunately.

Ruphus

PS:
The Maya didn´t mean 2012 to be the end of this world. They only meant to predict the end of an epoche and the beginning of a new one.
Which they very likely erred with.

Happy new year everyone!

I dont think anything of those doomsday theories or anthing, but I think still that each new year should be celebrated, and I think it is a gift that we can continue on having fun, love, family and friends as well as pain, sadness, death and decay.

It is the cycle of things on this planet, and we need all of them to be able to live to the fullest, and I for one am glad this cycle goes on.

Happy new year means proof of life!

I hope none of you got too much of a hangover

Well then.

Cheers!













"Believe"!?
WTF has believing have to do with incidents of colossal dimensions?

Must it first be yourself sinking in oil mud, starving or sloughtered alive, before pleasing to take notice of what is going on?
What´s out of sight can´t be, pal, let´s switch to the sports channel.

RE: Happy New Year! (in reply to Ruphus

Man my comment seems so stupid now..

I was thinking more towards natural disasters as mentioned for example...
It happens every years, and has been happening the entire existance of the earth.. its not suddenly happening, even though the news may make it seem so.


I dont think war and hunger, pelting and ugliness like that is a good thing, but it is indeed true that it does exist... One of the sad parts about it is that the western world wouldnt be what it is without all those things.

I think of course such things you depict Ruphus, are things we need to work to stop it.

I should probably have thought a bit further.. sorry!

My mother's mother lived with us throughout World War II. She had buried three husbands, raised eight children on a family subsistence farm in northwestern Oklahoma, been bankrupted twice, first by the Dust Bowl, then by the Great Depression, and had five sons in combat in the war. She was always even tempered, had a smile and a good word for everybody.

She was not unrealistic. She knew from personal experience that the world was filled with disappointment and danger. We all do. But my grandmother also knew that a positive attitude was a necessity for survival.

My grandfather, her second husband, was a Socialist who came close to winning a seat in the U.S. Senate. When he learned that their neighbor on the next farm was illiterate, he didn't complain about the dysfunctional society that had allowed this to happen. He taught his neighbor how to read.

So I say "Happy New Year!"...an expression of hope and encouragement--qualities we will need to face the tasks before us.
