mmm I have mixed views. Like everyone has said there have been many years predicted as end of the world by some, but as someone else has said 2012 is the most backed by actual scientists I have come across. The jury is still out for me, as i'm drawn to that year. I don't buy it as end of times, just as a new chapter. I think we'll see some major disasters leading up to it tho. I had a dream a few years back of a tidal wave hitting brighton in england and making it's way to london ( still waiting for that one to come true
)
If anything though it gives people something to talk about.
