The reason people get all worked up about this stuff is because they still want to believe the universe revolves around us.
He was.
He just hasn't growed up enough yet to do anything.

I think people say the world is going to end with every triple number date. Like when it was 6/6/06, people thought the anti-christ was going to be born and everything 
He was.

It's December 21st, 2012.
And no. There's a common misconception that it means the end of the world, which is incorrect. The calendar simply is moving onto another one of their "cycles," in which they had absolutely no prediction for what would happen, so naturally when people don't know they make things up.

That's exactly right. Many people made predictions that 2012 would be a 'turning point' in the world's history. If you look back we've actually only had a few of these. One was the ice age.. another when homo sapiens stopped migrating and hunting in search for food, instead realizing they could settle and domesticate other animals. By many, the time when people began inventing things is another.
I wouldn't worry so much about the end of the world. This is just a date given to symbolize a passing, or a time when humanity will change drastically. Look around.. you can see changes everyday in the way people are starting to look at the world, and where they think their place in it is. Just because a gigantic meteor doesn't drop out of the sky doesn't mean the world won't be recognizable after this change is complete.
Haha.. probably just my beliefs. I've spent a lot of time thinking about this.

Dec 21, 2012 is just another day. Nothing special will happen, unless someone goes out of their way to do something on that day for the sake of doing it on that day. Ancient cultures didn't magically know things we don't. They are stupid, ignorant, barbarians compared to us. They can't see the future. They can't predict anything. Hell, they had to ritualistically kill people because they were too dumb to predict the sun would rise the next day without it. To think that people are still persuaded by these ignorant cultures astounds me...
By the way, I'm selling Altantian crystals that can cure all cancer and make your penis grow 3 inches/enlarge your breasts a few cup sizes. If anyone would like to buy some, PM me.

Ah, I see! That guy will probably regret naming his character that when we pass 2012... XD
He probably won't play that long.

You speak the truth, though if you think about it, they sacrificed someone everyday so the sun would rise, and well, it did. Everyday.
If it ain't broke...
