So something bad is about to happen in the world. Either the world is going to end or there is something in the air that is killing people. [if you ever watched 2012 or the happening you'd know what I'm talking about]

My question for you all is this:

What would you do if you found out that either the world is going to end or there is something that is killing people and no one knows what it is or why?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you look at what is currently happening or what has happened in this world there is:

Massive amounts of earthquakes happening now. The hurricanes that have damaged Louisiana really badly. The earthquakes in Haiti and Chile had devastating issues as well. Not to mention the Tornadoes that have been hitting the Midwest hard. Though personally to me I think Mother nature is pissed in a way. Now if you look at it from a disease point you have the epic H1N1 outbreak that I'm not sure if it is gone.

...wow i ramble too much..

Anyways if I found out that either one I'd at least call my mom, dad, sister, and grandpa and tell them how much I love them all and say my good byes. If i can drive on the roads I'd head to where my dad lives and wait for the end to happen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I bet there are gonna be people saying "oh nothing like that will ever happen" or "what is the point of this anyways?"

Please, don't bother with asking those ok? I just wanna see what people have to say that is it. I know there is another thing i wanna talk about later on too
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please talk away <3

[also if this is in the wrong place sorry ^^;]

If the world was GUARANTEED to end, 2012 style, I'd go do some of the worst possible things I could think of.
There's a few people I'd love to get rid of by any means necessary. >_>
I'd have to do this days before the set date, however.
I wouldn't want to spend months in jail before the planet throws a fit and ends us all.
I kinda want to watch it happen.

As for unknown causes of death (probably some aerial disease), I don't know what I do.
At that point there's no set date to go by to plan the rest of your life, or things you'd want to do.
I guess I'd go for the sappy answer and say "I'd spend time with as many people as possible."

Every generation dreams and believes that it will be the last. I personally don't give any credence to 2012, and the latest natural disasters are no different from previous ones.

With that said, it would be interesting to live in an apocalyptic world, living and scavenging off the land, and it would also be interesting to see how people and humanity would react.

If I were in this situation, I would find the people that I care about, and let them know that I love them. If I had any last regrets, confessions, reconciliations, there wouldn't be a better time to tie up loose ends.

But if I had a choice, I wouldn't want to just sit and wait for the end. Maybe I would go to a survivor hideout, or start my own. (Or maybe I wouldn't, that never works out). Maybe I would go and simply travel with whoever wanted to come, and have one last adventure in the face of death.

So many of my dreams that I remember from growing up were about exploring a post-apocalyptic world. I actually really enjoyed them, but I loved the (dreamy watered-down) sense of willful survival.

Anyways, in reality I'm not terribly concerned about it. Really the idea of the 'world' ending would only be something so bad that it wipes out the human race, perhaps (we are just about everywhere on the planet and quite willful), and a very high percentage of life on the planet, but I don't think it's necessarily the end of life altogether. The planet has a habit of rebooting itself, and freakish weather is often the result of a planet trying to re-stabilize. But I think you suggested in that first post not to discuss this option so much as discuss what I would do if life as I knew it were ending?

My family already knows I love them with all of my heart. All I would want to do is use what money I have saved up to bring us together in one location, possibly Germany since they've always wanted to go back and the majority of my family lives there (though I imagine airplane tickets in a near-apocalyptic world would be mighty expensive so my family would probably have to help chip in).

Also, I would buy a really big amazing cake (with chocolate and ice cream involved somewhere) and eat it.

If I knew the world was coming to an end in some form or another... Hmm...

I'd gather up my sisters together, say our goodbyes and "I love you"s. Tell my boyfriend goodbye and that I love him too.

... I think that's it. Maybe if there was a chance for survival I'd run away with my sisters and boyfriend, but otherwise, I'd hug them all until my very last breath.

This is one of the truest statements there is. In many ways, we live in the present by expecting that we're approaching the "end." But the Second Coming of Christ hasn't happened yet, the Cold War didn't end with all of us turning to dust, H1N1 didn't kill us all, and the world hasn't imploded. But I'll get back to this in a moment.


Linyah simply didn't want us to brush the possibility off as a joke or as stupid or somesuch. There are many of us who don't believe the world is going to end anytime soon (such as myself), but the possibility still exists, and if nothing else, any one of us individually could meet our personal end at any time.

I totally didn't think about food... OM NOM NOM!


I'd like to know how certain we really are that the rate of natural disasters is increasing. We've certainly had a high number of them this past decade, but do our instruments really measure back more than a century (if even so far)? I wouldn't be surprised if the most obscure parts of the world had had some severe disasters that were never recorded or forgotten along the way or somesuch. As far as disease: H1N1 is merely the recent scare. We had bird flu before that (or was it before the one that was before H1N1?), and there have been others. Either the CDC really knows what they're doing or none of these diseases were ever a real concern.

I doubt the world will end in 2012, but that's coming from a Christian background (and thinking that, at the soonest, the Second Coming only might happen in our lifetime). Odds are that we won't get the chance to know that the "end" is coming, and I don't believe that the "end" will be an end for all of us (though perhaps many). Certainly not on the scale of 2012. (It was a fun movie, and I'd discuss it, but I'm too lazy to get spoiler tags going right now.)


As for what I'd do... I don't know. There was a time when I did know, and perhaps I would simply try to track down a close friend, but... eh, let's go for a fun answer: let's have a Sparkbomb get-together if the world is going to end. And we'll see if we can track down Soon for some last-minute Journeys! ... nah, he'd probably too busy saying goodbye to his loved ones.

-adds that to her list of to do's-

We have Soon's address...Or at least his Mum's address...
I'm just saying...Someone needs to collect phone numbers and addresses as in a near apocalyptic world who knows if internet will work or if phones will work. who knows.

I'd get my family together. Then get away from them as I'm almost sure my sister would be involved in looting and I'm sure my Dad would be getting high. I would tell everyone at my work exactly what I think of them. Probably get a gun ( To help against all you scavengers.)
