The end of the world
I'm curious, how many people believe in the end of the world. In Russia it's a very popular (widespread is probably a better word here) idea. On TV, by radio, and on the internet there are many and many messages about the 21st of December. What do you think about it? Do you believe in it? What is does it mean in your country?
And to answer your questions, I personally don't believe in it, and most Americans don't either. The Mayans never even believed this date would result in the end of the world, rather that it would merely be the point at which a new baktun (or era, according to their long count calendar) would begin. Think of it as a really really long year coming to an end. But some people are gullible and easily frightened...

The day of Dec. 21st 2012 in China is a traditional festival, which is the winter solstice, most of families will prepare dumplings or mutton for dinner, that is a good wish to stay warm during the winter. However, according to the end of the world, there have been so many rumors spread in these recent days. If anyone exaggerates and spreads the inveracious consequence, using it to cheat or influence others' normal life, he will be arrested by government. There have been already several persons who were put in jails for this reason by far.

I don't believe in it. Even if there is an end, no human being will know for sure when. This is a great subject for mass-media to earn audience and money, this is all about in my opinion. There are people who taught that every subject became too boring so they came with something that would scare some people... We'll see... :)
