I think 2012 apocalypse is really happening right now….?
In my opinion or theory, the N.Korean people will start the nuclear war - at the end of this year, and there will be a world war 3. The war starting from Dec 2010 ending sadly on Jan 2012 and at this time of the year, no single human were alive.

So my point is the world will not ending on the natural disaster basis but human error leading to NUCLEAR WARFARE!!!!!!


I don’t think that the North Koreans are so stupid that they think that they could survive a nuclear attack, no matter who starts it. They don’t have enough weapons to do enough damage to cripple the US. They could severely damage a South Korean city, but the US would soon retaliate. The Chinese would not interfere as readily as people might think, as they have a lot to lose also. Even if we are wiped out, whatever survives will continue to evolve to the changing environment, including increased background radiation.

Whether the world ends has nothing to with 2012 or not. The Mayan Calendar simply ends in 2012, it has only been a westernization of that which has resulted in the apocalypse myth. Technically the world should be ending every December 31 because that’s when our calendar ends.

I am guessing more of the end of cheap oil. The word apocalypse can mean a revelation, not necessarily the end of the world. There will definitely be blood, but mankind will survive.

Theory? THEORY?! A theory in science is something that has evidence to support it and has withstood repeated testing. You have presented no evidence, just your unsubstantiated opinion. What is this doing in a science forum?

World War 3 has been predicted to start just about every year since 1950.
2012 is a hoax, with no scientific basis. Read below.

Thumbsucker

Thumbsucker
Thumbsucker (2005)

IMDB rating: 6.80

Plot: Justin (Lou Taylor Pucci) is a teenager boy, who has an oral obsession with his thumb. His mother (Tilda Swinton) seems to be a normal housekeeper, but she has her own obsessions as well, like a crush on a TV-star (Benjamin Bratt). The only person who’s aware of Justin’s problem is his father (Vincent D’Onofrio), manager in a store, but none of his advices seem to be working for Justin. The kid is signed up in a debate workshop, but the thing isn’t going well, because he has his mind in a pretty classmate and, of course, in his thumb, affecting all the rest of his classes. So, Justin is a loner kid in the school, who prefers to lock himself in the bathroom and suck his thumb. Justin’s dentist (Keanu Reeves), a mystical-hippie person, will try to help to overcome his thumb problem, through the hypnosis. But the school’s psychologist will diagnose Justin with the Attention Deficit Disorder, and will prescribe him some drugs. Suddenly, Justin’s problem with his thumb will disappear, becoming an hyperactive genius, winning several debate contests and the admiration from his teacher (Vince Vaughn). Nevertheless, more serious problems will come for Justin with his mother, his father and with a drug addiction.

What are some good movies like Garden State, Thumbsucker, Rocket Science, The Royal Tenenbaums, or Rushmore?
I love quirky indie films like these, Help me find some other ones. Please :)


Well it seems you like Wes Anderson (Great Director). If you like indie films you should check out more of his films: Bottle Rocket, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and The Darjeeling Limited. Another great indie film would be The Squid and the Whale directed by Noah Baumbach. It stars Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, and Jesse Eisenberg. That one was actually produced by Wes Anderson. Another would be The Savages with Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

9. a
10. d
help me out?!):


1. c. definitely, Polynice’s is unburied as he is a "traitor"… apparently
2. d Ismene is such a coward!
3. d i think, she’s definitely scared when she knows she will die (her last appearance)
4.d i think
5. b , but’s more like "the younger generation aren’t necessarily there to listen to the elders" or something
6. b i think he’s a coward too, and tries to stop his destiny even though it’s already too late (it’s Ismene btw :] )
7. b - lots of religious imagery in there
8. b he’s not the protagonist, the audience learns to obey the laws of the gods, not the land
9. c i think, although Creon definitely feels some responsibility, i don’t think he’s strong enough to admit he was wrong
10. b - like all the other rulers, he has flaws but i don’t think he’s evil, just unlucky

I have to do something, inside and out, where do i start?
either i dunno what to do, how to do it or im confused with all this brain clutter..
i apologize, if my text would be long and kinda incoherent, im having a hard time putting my thoughts into words.

Right now, my goal is.. to kick my ass and find a job..

ive been a lazy man for up to this 23rd year of my life, yet for some unknown reason ive convinced myself to make a new years resolution, to earn money..

the problem behind the laziness? as commonly known.. no inspiration, indifference, suicide comtemplation (yet not enough motivation to stab myself), and apathy right? I guess there are times when you could say im Lucid, like when i get to laugh, being generous, helping someone unconditionally, and obeying my elders.

I can just simply tell my body to do things.. and be good at it.. like in school (though not the best).
I do know, that anxiety comes from unknowing things. so here i am asking. though i dont know anything i fear, besides the situation like when you are stuck in quicksand. yet no quicksand, but the feeling of fear and being dramatically stuned in thinking and in consciousness.. ive been wasting too much time trying to pull myself together. and i cant read all the brain clutter in my mind. its like im already gone from this world, but you can still see your feet standing there.

spent most of my free time alone, playing strategy and puzzle games, and the like.
btw, im a College graduate in nursing.. waiting for my board exam results (i really hate my course from the begginning).. i used to be interested in building robots, software programing, law, architecture, new things.. but now everything inside of me ,is like in the terms of "spirituality" , it is so cold, colder than ice, that i cant move. and the idea that keeps dropping in my head is just get a knife and stab my heart. (dont worry i wont do it, i just dunno why i cant pass a day without that thought), perhaps i believed once that useless are not meant to live. i want to move on, but my will isnt enough.

some of you, may discuss religion or spirituality.. i respect that.. but just so you know, my brain thinks in hard science and rationale. well il try to open my empty mind and be a good listener as much as i can though.


Very interesting story. I recommend these links for your scientific mind:

Would you go to a concert of a singer that you didn't like?
I asked my friend, Cindy, if she wanted to go to a Taylor Swift concert. She was very excited and immediately accepted. A couple days later, I heard her talking with some other girls about how Taylor is a psycho girlfriend and always tries to get you to feel bad for her and is really annoying. A couple days after that, she was talking to another group of girls and one of them said, "Have you heard Taylor’s new song, Untouchable?" Cindy exclaimed, "OMG! I LOVE Untouchable!" I was unable to get tickets for the concert b/c it sold out. It was also on the same night as a dance my school was having. At the finale they played, "Love Story," and Cindy exclaimed, "Nooooo! This night was so close to being Taylor Swift free!" and laughed.

I’m so confused. She obviously isn’t a Taylor fan, so why would she agree to go AND pay for her own ticket? Thanks for your help :-)

WE ARE BOTH 16 YEARS OLD!!!!


Maybe she doesn’t like Taylor Swift but wants to go to a concert because Taylor is famous and maybe she just wanted to have a good time with you! (:
firefliesx3 | Jan 31, 2010


she probably knows taylor swift cannot sing
HotDog | Jan 31, 2010


YOU ARE BOTH 16 YEARS OLD!!! That’s why… no offense, but at that age there is so much drama its unreal. One minute you love something, and the next you hate it. She told you she liked her and would go because you like her… Then she told the other people she doesn’t like her because they don’t like her. She wants to make everyone happy.

that is why —16 years old,
you are babies.

I am 67 and would go just to go, who cares if you like them or not..
