Oh dear.

Is there something wrong with my comments? I'm very angry that they believed that world will end in 2012, I keep on to telling them that it's not going to happening, they choose not to listening to me at all, let alone world end in 2012.
Wake me when an important revelation takes place, such as when scientists declare that water, is indeed, wet.
Well, I'm certainly relieved.
I hope Taccy has an appetite and a camcorder.
Poor Roland Emmerich. Now his forthcoming film won't have that air of credibility that his previous ones had. 
Nothing's wrong with your comments except the one who said "oh, dear" actually believes that something major is going to happen in 2012.

I already know what will be said.
If by they, you mean the believers, probably the most 'impressive' backtracking and reinterperatation you'll ever hear.

Actually there's a good reason why it may not happen in 2012. You see there's actually a time span between 2007 to 2016 but the signs point to 2012.
To be honest though I've discussed this topic till I'm blue in the face, I don't think there's really much else to be said on it.
Well we know the poles flip every so often on earth, and we are overdue, so couldn't this happen in 2012? It could be a large object in a Haley's comet like elliptical orbit does a close pass to earth in 2012 and their poles repel each other causing earth to get a new earth pole and cause dramatic geological damage. The book Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky makes a convincing case base on historical records that something is coming up...
Bah. This is all idiocy based on western ideas of "apocalypse" and a complete misunderstanding of how the Mayan calendar works. "Bernal notes there are other inscriptions at Mayan sites for dates far beyond 2012 -- including one that roughly translates into the year 4772."
2012 Ain't the End.
2012 Ain't the End.
Maybe they'll react like Jehovah's Witnesses: Wooops, sorry, we got it wrong this time. But you'll see! End of the world is coming as soon as 2017!
No, because it's a process that takes thousands of years as the field gradually weakens, vanishes, then strengthens again with the opposite polarity. And we're not "overdue" because it's never happened on a regular schedule; any average figure that's been cited is merely a statistical convenience, not a law of nature. There have been times when the field has flipped five or six times in a million years, and other times when it's gone without flipping for as much as 50 million years.
At present, the field is gradually weakening at a rate which would cause it to collapse about 1000 to 2000 years from now; however, there's no reason to assume that rate will remain constant. It could accelerate, it could slow down, or it could even reverse and start getting stronger again. There is no way to predict when it will happen, but there's no remotely realistic possibility of it happening in just 3 years.

That sentence is meaningless. Anything large enough to have such a strong magnetic field would've surely been detected by now. Even if it did have a strong magnetic field, it wouldn't have that kind of effect on the Earth's core. After all, we are immersed in the powerful magnetic field of the Sun, which reverses polarity every 11 years. If the Earth's magnetic polarity could be reversed by an external body's magnetic field, surely the Sun would do it routinely.
For another thing, I think you're confusing magnetic poles with geographic poles. An inversion of the Earth's magnetic field would not cause geological damage.
You're kidding. Even at the time Velikovsky wrote that book, his ideas were recognized as sheer quackery that violated fundamental laws of physics and contradicted countless established scientific facts about the planets. It's basically an exercise in distorting, ignoring, and falsifying astronomical ideas in order to "explain" events from the Bible and past mythology.

And I don't think Worlds in Collision made any predictions about anything "coming up." Velikovsky's focus was on past events.
I thought the world ended with Y2K?
Damn.
Damn.
