Angry Gorilla Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 The world ends in 2012 according to de mayan calenderrr! Screw the Mayan Calender, it was made up by some ancient civilisation a thousand years ago... and I find the idea of the world ending in 2012 laughable in general. And if internet freedom does end soon it will be thanks to the anti-piracy fags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the Mayans being Christian, as far as I know the Mayan Calender was made centuries before Christianity even existed. So yeah, fuck the Mayan Calendar.

Butters! Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) They wouldnt block ISPs: End of. Phone companies and Internet providers woud lose money, smaller compinies go bankrupt. Providers will now lower prices, to get more customeres,again, some go bankrupt. To many people usuing the same servers, causees large crashes. People don't think ahead, don't get the write packages,online trade becomes becomes scarce, supermarkets lose money. People now have to drive to Supermarkets, Co2 emmisions go up. Tax Goes Up to bail out certain stroes. Less people will post infomation, and the news companies will have to shut down, becaus eof lack of stories. Noone will know about crrent affair, Governments wont be able to rule contries as well. Fall of Politics... A bit farfetched, ut it really makes you think about how much we depend on the internet nowrdays. To be exact, the Myans said the world would end December 21st 2012. I wonder why they would make there calander go this far ahead though, as they did predict that spain would conquer them. I doubt the world will really end, but 2012 will bring some major (mostly bad) changes. If Gods real he must be realy P*ssed off that England are hosting the necxt Olympic Games...

Nissan_Skyline_GTR_R34 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 this isnt the great depression, so why the hell should they do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonSkull Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I don't know how the Apocalypse got drug up into this, but the Myans never said the world would end. The Myan calendar just stops there and many doom sayers with a book to sell visit George Norry on his radio show and sell the idea that the Myan's "knew something". But as to blocking the internet; US Congress passed the CDA in 1996 (anyone ever hear of it??) No? The Communications Decency Act of 1996 was a law passed that basically made it illegal to transmit pornography on US servers and illegal to download pornography on US computers. Yeah that worked!! It has been a law written in some book for over 12 years and just as effective as the FBI and Interpol warnings on your DVDs. They cannot police something that doesn't belong to them. Next we are told that BIG BAD WOLF INC. is about to start selling us chunks of the internet on a PPV basis? WTF??? Some people are so gullible... My ISP is in business to make money and they aren't going to do that by limited service. Long ago my Dad paid $10 per month for dial up access. As the internet grew his company grew too. Now I am on a LAN over a wireless satellite network. I think he pays about $40 per month now. So they are going to tell my Dad that he must do PPV to see certain sites? I don't think so. His company and others will drop the ISP and bypass them. Today many ISP such as dial up access providers (like Net Zero) are offering it for $10 per month or less. There will always be some ISP that will offer you more for less. I am sure there are companies out there looking for suckers to invest in the newest flavor of the internet. This is not it.

Shortbus Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 People now have to drive to Supermarkets, Co2 emmisions go up. I dunno, but don't UPS trucks make lots of CO2 emissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 People now have to drive to Supermarkets, Co2 emmisions go up. I dunno, but don't UPS trucks make lots of CO2 emissions? Yes, but let's say that one truck makes 200 deliveries in one day. Those 200 people didn't have to drive their cars individually. Six of one, half a dozen of the other? Anyways. This won't work. They'd have to make hella restrictions on ISP companies, or else anyone with the money could just start up their own ISP, sell it dirt cheap((won't matter anymore)), and so many people will sign on they'll be even more loaded than they were before... You can't restrict technology. The Americunt government needs to learn this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters! Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Dont worry, I bet that just one company will do it, while everyone else watches to see what happens. Then all other service providers can just sit back and watch it burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someonesinyourhouse Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 The internet will most likely stay for as long as the world is around, it will be long past 2012 at least. The day and hour are unknown so why would people predict the end of something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
