Welcome to JUICED - a general chat community that focuses on providing an enjoyable place to visit and participate in. JUICED was first established in early April as a closed community; meaning that registrations were only allowed for 24 hours once a month. The idea worked surprisingly well, though it tried up after a few months and we ultimately decided to open the community for good. After another few months and a unsuccessful merge, we're back, and this time, we're here to stay!

Juiced Debate Thread Currently Debating: Animal Experimentation

Welcome to the Official Juiced Debate Thread where there is no shortage of intelligent conversation and debate (most of the time). So feel free to push your mind to the limits, discuss your own beliefs and ideas, and question those of others. There is really no limit to what can be discussed. But please don't get too heated up though, as this is a friendly debate environment, and keep personal attacks out of it. So get posting, and who knows, you might have some fun along the way.

Well, I can see you all are very eager to jump in on this so I will pick the first topic.

2012, is it the end? What do you think will happen?

Nothing, i'm almost positive there have been so many other predictions as to the end of the world. The world will end when it wants to.

Exactly this. The world isn't going to end in 2012. It's just another stupid philosophy to get people to turn to their Religion.

They say it's because the Mayan Calender stops at Dec 21, 2012. That's the reason the world is going to end? We don't have calenders made up for 500+ years in the future! Maybe the guy making the calender said, "Eh, good enough for now."

Mass Suicides Dec 21, 2012, will occur.

Actually the world might end in 2012; but I'd have to say the odds are worse than they would have been, say, 40 years ago during the Cold War. If you would have told me the world was going to end back then I probably would have believed it due to the current circumstances. It's not the Cold War though, it's 2012.

What the hell do they think is gonna happen you ask? Well, a magnitude of things such as:
-Massive solar flares
-Magnetic field dissipation
-Planet X
-Widespread tectonic activity
-Black holes anyone?

The list goes on, but these are the most widely talked about. I'd like to go down the list and pwn each of these if I might. :)
*Disclaimer: the odds I give are not based on anything but the likelihood (in my own mind) that these things will happen.

-Massive solar flares, put simply the sun can't make one large enough to wipe us out, unless it were to just explode in our direction or something stupid. If there is a solar flare, it will probably just knock out the power grid like in the Quebec Power Grid blackout a few years back. And if someone tells you solar flares can be predicted, slap them in the bloody face, because they can't be, they're random as ****. Odds of a strong solar flare knocking out the power grid in 2012? I'd say 1:1,000,000

-Magnetic field dissipation, this has to do with the solar flares (or so they claim), but they're idiots. They think a large solar flare is capable of destroying the magnetic field that protects our planet from cosmic rays and such, lol. The only way our magnetic field is going to dissipate is if for some reason the core of our planet stops spinning, or maybe the moon disappears and sends our planet spinning about causing some kind of magnetic anomaly. Oh, and the shit about the poles flipping causing massive shit to go down? That's bull, pole switch happens all the time (every 6,000 years or so I think) and life on Earth continued then, so why would we get owned by it now? Odds of the magnetic field dissipating? 1:1,000,000,000,000,000,000

-Planet X, go **** yourself. This one basically says there is a large planet in the far reaches of the solar system that has some crazy ass elliptical orbit that brings it through the inner solar system wreaking havoc on the planets. Screw that, we don't even have proof it exists, we're pretty damn good at finding planets in our solar system too. We've spotted a quite a few past Pluto, and not one of them is 'Planet X'. Oh! But it must still be way out in the far reaches of our solar system where we can't see it! Well, then it sure is hell isn't gonna make it to the party in 2012! It'd take it a lot longer than 3 years to make it into the inner solar system unless it's some kind of massive rock that was flung by another stars gravity right at our solar system. I wouldn't worry though. Odds of Planet X crashing the part? 1:1,000,000,000,000,000

-Widespread tectonic activity, yawn... Earthquakes, volcanoes, etc. This one also has to do with the massive solar flare. They say the solar flare will penetrate the earth with it's cosmic rays and heat up the inside of the planet (this much is possible) but then it will heat up the planet enough that it will cause mass volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Well, seeing since life has lived on Earth this has NEVER HAPPENED, I'd say we're safe. 1:1,000,000,000,000,000,000

-Black holes: EHH TEH LHC WILL MAKE BLACK HOLES!!! Christ you people are idiots... just read one good scientific article on black holes and you'll think you were smoking pot before. Seriously, we don't have the power needed to create a black hole on Earth. THE SUN CAN'T EVEN MAKE A ****ING BLACK HOLE! Do you think we have more power than the sun? If you answered yes, please go shoot yourself in the face. We have no where near the power to make a black hole, so don't worry about terrestrial black holes. Cosmic black holes? That's another story, they exist, and one could eat us up at any moment. OH BUT KAMIKAZE! WOULDN'T WE SEE IT COMING!? No, because it's ****ing black. By the time we figured out a black hole was coming, it would already be engulfing the outer solar system leaving us with a few years to sit here on Earth attempting to GTFO but probably failing and getting devoured. Epic win eh? Odds of terrestrial black hole? 1:INFINITY; odds of cosmic black hole? 1:1,000,000,000,000,000

Well that was ****ing exciting. So really, if you think about it, 2012 is the same as every other year except the Mayans have a calendar that ends on it. Doesn't that usually mean a new year? Oh well, people are gonna cry and commit suicide and hide in bomb shelters when that day rolls around. Me? I'll probably be having a "The world's not going to end party." We have better chances of global thermonuclear war than most of the shit I just talked about.

Words to the wise: don't listen to the TV scientists, the news is retarded. GG
Commence the responses about how ****ing long this is!

There is a logical non-death reason why the Mayan Calender ends on December 21, 2012, and that is probably because that was the original number of days in a month, which was 21. It is also possible that the guy who was writing the calendar died before he could extend it.

Bare in mind that each civilization in these time periods didn't go by any official time, except for the months. The calendars created were each all different, but they each had 12 months in a year. The Mayans probably decided to have a shorter year than what we have now, which is 365 days, 52 weeks, with a few days that are a remainder of the year.

21 days in a month probably seemed like a better fit to the Mayans. They are simply only one tribe that had a calendar, and no single group can determine the end of the earth. If it could be determined when the world will end, it would be far off.

That's not how the calendar works. It's one of a few Mayan calendars, this one is their 'long count calendar' which goes for around 5000 years or so. The date in 2012 is the end of the long count, now for some reason a rumor started that this corresponds to the end of the world, and thus the media jumped aboard and now everyone is freaking out. I don't know about everyone else, but when my calendar ends I flip it over and start a new year. >.>

For those who say, "Oh, well maybe they didn't finish the calendar because they died" I have only one thing to say to you.

What the ****.

Do you not understand how a calendar works? If the calendar was incomplete, you would know it. That's like having our calendar without the months of October, November, and December. You would figure out right away something was fishy. Calendars are based on math and astronomy, it's not something you just build like a house or something. Oh, and I'm pretty sure more than ONE GUY was making the whole CIVILIZATION'S calendar. lol

Nice read, good to know that we all agree that the world is very unlikely to end in 2012.

You ever heard of the movie 2012 that is out? Which is based on the end of the world?
