Why Do So Many People Think The End Of The World Is Coming Soon?

    Frankly I think it's a load of hogwash, all of these people coming out of the woodwork saying that the end of the world is nigh, I'm sorry but I've heard it all before many times over.

    In my childhood, it was the threat of nulear annihilation and the cold war, a few decades later and I'm still seeing lots of comments here, there and everywhere, individuals saying that we're all going to snuff it collectively, very soon.

    Why do we go through these fads of predicting the end of the world?

    Why do so many people fall for this every time, this story, which with every passing year, the ways in which we are all going to kick the bucket, get's more and more fanciful and daft with the passage of time?

    The bottom line is that wo/man is going to be around for a very, very long time to come yet, way past all our lifetimes at least, so why the worry all the time? Why sweat such big stuff, which to be honest at the best of times, is a bloody depressing subject? What's the point of it, what purpose does it serve serving up this utter and wanton dribble all the time? Does it honestly make you feel any happier spouting out such drivel?

    What are your thoughts on the subject, do you think it's a load of cobblers or are you, perish the thought, one of those doom mongerer's that falls for this dribble each time it is proclaimed near and far by every lunatic on the planet?

    If you do believe the end of the world is going to end for certainty very soon, what is your proof for saying and/or thinking such a thing?

    Please feel free to discuss ...

    For the same reason people believe in religion, astrology, psychics and all other pseudosciences.

    It could be because the immorality has become prevalent again and we think we are the ultimate civilisation, again!

    the bottom line actually is that we will all reach our doomsday the day we die which could be anytime really. So instead of concentrating on something which we cant predict we should remember that at the end of the day we will all die. call it what you like.

    Many people are stupid and do not realize that they shouldn't think about those things. It's pointless. If it ends, it will end. What's the point of thinking about it and stress yourself?

    Nobody knows when, But it will happen for sure anyway. The truth is, only God knows when the world is going to an end..

    LOL, just like anything else, they figure if they keep guessing enough times there bound to get it right sometime. Then they can say "we told you so"

    it'll happen when it happens, if it ever happens.
