What do you guys think of this video? I think it speaks a lot of truth and lots of people should probably see it, whether or not it would do any good.

This seems like another system claiming to know what the future holds and how to "best" be a part of it. This kind of feels like the recycling of the "LOVE" taught by Christian Science, but now veiled in 2012 dressings.
In my opinion, all of the 2012 stuff is just the repetition of old religious patterns by people who want to be prophets and copy the same patterns that Christianity and other groups have used.
A very common pattern followed by religious groups: Start by diminishing an individual or culture in its present state, claim to have knowledge or power, offer salvation through behavior control system.
If it makes you feel good, then go for it! Just don't be too disappointed IF the day comes and the supporters go from saying the focus is on a specific day to saying that 12/21/12 really just marked the start of a new era... and a few years later they start talking about 2025 or whatever the modern mythology is changing to.
The Mayan calendar may end on Dec 21st 2012. My calendar ends on December 31st each year, then I get a new one.

I cant watch video, but I think the only logical conclusion as to the origin of "everything" is that it/we are all one. What else could "everything" possibly be?
How could something exist absolutely separately from something else and still interact with it?

I'm not sure about all the predictions with 2012. I don't think anything is going to happen on Dec 21st 2012. However I do believe we are entering a new age of enlightenment. The internet being a prime example of global communication, resulting in global awareness. We can choose to kill each other, or love each other, but I think we will be having to make the choice pretty soon.

We can have peace as long we also have zero population growth, otherwise we need conflict to keep our numbers down.

Population equilibrium is usually achieved through economic prosperity/stability. The world economy is far too unsustainable to come to that level for everyone without some major changes.

I think that some major changes are going to happen soon. In the next few years. I don't think the world is gonna end.or anything like tthat though.
Its a reoccurring theme in history. The rich and sting get richer and stronger. The proletariat eventually has enough and revolt happens. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happened.

See, that term pedo gets thrown around a lot.
Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.
