>>1 "Happy straight seven's day to all!!"

I dunno why seven is considered so damn lucky.  I've read on numerous websites about the history of seven (seven seas, seven deadly sins, seven against Thebes, etc.), and I'm just not seeing the attraction.  I always liked the number 3 more.

Well, everyone, we lived through another year, another month, and another day since the world should have ended.

I think we deserve a party or something :P

It's 12.21.12 that you may have to worry about.

Erm, I just lived through the date myself. On 7/7/07, bad things happened to me on that day. I even tried for a few scratch tickets, NOTHING! So now, I'm worshiping 8/8/08 as my date next year. Sometimes I have the worst luck, ever...

The same thing that hetero has to do with a "straight flush" in poker... nothing.

It's the apocalypse according to the Mayan calendar and some other beliefs.

Or maybe another world war. Either way, we're fucked D:

It's really the dawning of the next new age, and it's when the Mayan calendar "resets" (or something like that). Some people THINK it will mean the end of the world, others think it just means that the world will simply change.

A couple things to think about are the fact the poles of the planet are shifting and will have gone through a complete shift at this time (meaning, we'll start going back in the other direction). What happens with a pole shift? Global warming and climate changes, for one.

There is also a blackhole at the center of our galaxy that controls the gravity for our sun, just like the sun controls the gravity for our planet. That date is the exact day when we will be in some kind of special alignment between the blackhole, our sun, and our planet. As far as I remember studying. Hence the polar shift that is slowly approaching (and occurring) as we speak.

That's all I know, and I can't guarantee that all the info is completely accurate. We won't really know until that time, anyway. :P

Thanks, I just thought that the date was 12.12.12; but anyways I remember that from a tvshow and they said "It will be the end of the world AS we know it" could be better or worse.
I hope that all ends in a good way, instead of the alternative

The swapping of magnetic north and south has happened often in the history of earth and doesn't seem to have changed things very much according to science.  The solar system has "lined up" with the center of the galaxy before; the sun sort of wobbles up and down in it's orbiting of the center.  What's more worrisome is when the sun's wobbly orbit carries us out of the galactic plane; this has been tentatively linked to mass extinctions in Earth's history due to receiving more radiation from space that we might have been protected by (due to the galaxy's magnetic fields if I recall), but not proved by any real means yet; I don't have anything right now about when the next such event is supposed to occur, but I think its not going to be for some time.  And the black hole at the center of our galaxy doesn't "control the sun's gravity".

I'm not flaming here, but this pseudo-science stuff bothers me... given time I could fairly easily dredge up more to say on this and probably say it better; this is just off the top of my head.  And so can you!  Here's a link to get you started:   http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/concordance.html

As I said, I can't guarantee the accuracy of my statements. Made that disclaimer already. My field of study is human and animal behavior and societies, not astronomy or physics. I can only try and recall the few things I've seen on documentaries and read in books and hope my memory isn't being faulty and the sources weren't completely bogus.

What is information, anyway? Half the things we hear and are told are complete rubbish. You just have to go with what is at your disposal.

I thought that whole countdown to the end of the world was an Aztec thing, but I could be wrong.  And maybe it did use the Mayan calendar.  I do remember that the Aztecs believed that they could push back this date by killing in battle or ritually sacrificing their enemies.  As you can imagine, this religious tenent made them particularly unpopular amongst their neighbors.

Point taken.  I hope that you won't think it impolite of me to hope that in the future you more carefully consider the source of said documentaries and books in areas you don't know much about regarding their validity and/or scientific "respectability", for lack of a better term - that would cut down on the "rubbish vs. valid information" proportion you mention.  You wouldn't read something about animal behavior in the Weekly World News and blindly accept it, would you? :) (I know that's rather an extreme example, but it's all I can come up with right now)

Again, I didn't mean to sound as if I was flaming you, and I also appreciate your levelheaded response.

Actually.. the thing is, this is the sort of thing people talk about. They just.. you know.. talk about what they heard. And stuff. o.o

I consider it the responsibility of the individual to take information of all kinds with a certain degree of skepticism, as do I. But.. that won't stop me from quoting something I heard if I think it makes sense. Sorry.

And no, I don't think you sounded like you were flaming, you just sounded like you were being very picky. I'm the same way, and I understand, but I also recognize the other side of the spectrum. So I can't just limit the things I like talking about because I might not understand them completely or properly.

After all, how else does one learn? Would I learn what you have learned if I didn't first say something you think is incorrect? Sometimes the only way to learn is to make a mistake. I can't fault myself for it, or anyone else, but nor do I fault you for trying to explain it properly. ^^

Wow Raven. I have seen you be very very wrong before, but I just assumed you'd received outdated information, and I chalked some of it up to differences of opinion and philosophies. I didn't think you were stupid.

But wow.

It's now apparent that you have no skepticism for outrageous pseudoscience, and you just parrot completely absurd claims without regard for veracity. I realize you said "I can't guarantee that all the info is completely accurate" but an intellectually honest person should never go around parroting rubbish that they haven't verified.

And to even say something as stupid as "It's really the dawning of the next new age"... man that just blows my mind. You really think this is some Age of Aquarius crap? You even think that it could be? You didn't dismiss it as the ravings of opportunistic new age booksellers?

You have no sanity check. I will remember to never respect your opinion again.

Hilarious thing about 7/7/7 ... a lot of people got married that day, including a lot of mentally immature people who weren't ready for marriage but thought it would be a lucky day and the marriage would go well.

Lol.

Since there's no such thing as a lucky day, what actually happened?

A lot of people who shouldn't have gotten married, did.

The result will be a record number of divorces among people who got married on this day. In a few years we will be hearing about these divorces and superstitious idiots will be saying "maybe it was an unlucky day after all!"

Remember! You heard it on fchan first!

7 has no basis as actually being a lucky number, there is no evidence that supports the theory. Dumb people believe dumb things though. Kind of like swamp gas, a weather balloon and light reflecting off venus.

Seven is thought to be lucky, probably because it is the most likely total when rolling two six-sided dice.

>>25 A couple who isn't ready for marriage needs more than just luck; they need boiiiinnngg.  And if their emotional distance stretches too far it could snap!  "It's gone!"  "Where did it go?"

lol, think what you want. I'm just saying what it's supposed to mean and what I read. If you think it's such serious business, fine. But I don't need your respect or for you to believe anything I say. A post like that is purely part hypothesis and part regurgitation, and if you don't like that, tough nuts.

The only thing you have to worry about with me is whether or not I catch you breaking the rules or causing drama on here. Otherwise, what you think about me, or the things I say, is irrelevant at best and potential drama at worst.
