After watching 30 Days of Night... and I've also seen 28 days/weeks later, Zombieland, The Crazies, etc etc... I have determined that zombies would be much better than vampires... yeah, the people got their asses kicked in 30 days of night, lmao.

My opinion on the topic?
I think along the lines of OilPatch197, with the end of America being more of a possibility than the end of the world itself. However, I think that with a certain amout of unrest, among many countries, across many continents, it could easily be considered the end of the world as we know it... Basically the world will still exist, but many of it's people will be killed in rioting, looting, and fighting, or will just die off because they couldn't fend for themselves. Exactly!
I'd say the 5 key things to survival in an age of world wide unrest would be as follows. And the're pretty much common sense.
1. Getting far away from any big city. People in cities will deal with rioting/looting and mass gridlock. Most city people rely on stores and electricity for everything. Things that won't exist when things get bad.
2. Knowing how to hunt, fish, and grow food. Stores won't exist...simple as that.
3. Knowing how to live off the land (besides food). That includes anything from building shelters to cutting firewood.
4. Being able to move and setup camp at most any location within a short amount of time, will be an advantage should you have to vacate your current location. You're an easy target hiding in a house... That also means being able to survive and make camp with only what you can carry/transport on foot. Vehicles attract unwanted attention, if you can even find gas for them and keep them maintained.
5. Last but not least, and it seems everyone has this one on their list... GUNS AND AMMO. A gun is an equalizer. Without it you are nothing. You're as dead as the poor anti gun liberal bastard stuck in the big city in his apartment trying to drive his prius through the rioting and gridlock. You can have all the supplies, make all the preparations, and have everything ready...right up until someone takes your life because you didn't have a way to defend youself. Having enough weapons, ammo, and related supplies to support a small group is almost a necessity.
It may all sound crazy, but if something were to happen....it sure wouldn't sound so crazy anymore.
Hopefully nothing will happen in 2012...but it's not impossible to think bad things could happen. When things do go bad, it's fast, and it snowballs. I honestly don't think anything catastrophic will really happen, unless some lunatic believes in the 2012 theory and has his finger on the nuke button...Now THAT's a good possibility!But who really knows what will go down...
Now if an asteroid hits the earth...we're all screwed....Now that's guaranteed....by scientist annnnnd prophets....good new is--only 1/3 of life (humans 1.5 billion people) will be killed...if you can call that good news!!!..


the myan calendar ends in 2012? what do we normally do when other calenders come to the end? GO BUY A NEW ONE!
UPDATE: I/03/2011
There's a group of a few thousand that say the end will be MAY 21st, 2011...
sounds as good as any other day to me....but I've heard predictions like this several times in my life......
Now all we gotta do is wait & see what Jesus (no.....not Hey-soos) thinks about that day.........
Here is my plan for the end of the world.
Step 1. Die.
thats pretty much the only thing you have to do. 100% fool proof. so easy a caveman can do it. (they did do it too, worked great.)

If and when I die, I know that it'll be part of God's plan and don't care when I die.
