I totally agree with you. The world is not gonna end. People said it was gonna end at the turn of 2000 due to the "big global computer shut-down". They said that 9/11 was the start of the end, that within 6 months after 9/11, bombs and explosions of every major landmark throughout America (The Sears tower, Golden gate bridge, The Whitehouse, etc.) until humanity was completely gone (that was one that more people did believe due to the World trade center destruction being such a frightening outrageous event), but none of those other foretold events actually happened. Then, as you mentioned, people thinking the end of the world in 2012, which was due to the end of the ancient Mayan calendar (that one I personally never believed, the world ending due to an ancient Indian calendar?). There were numerous other times throughout history where people feared the end of the world; during almost every major war we went through (Civil war, WW1 and WW2, Vietnam, Gulf war), numerous times where a major asteroid was thought to crash into earth, and even now I've talked to people who believe that ISIS is gonna wipe us all out. I personally believe that most of us are gonna die our own deaths before the human race is wiped out.
Is it weird that people are always saying the world is ending
