Response to NewBlogger
I think you raise a good point. Some nonbelievers might possibly be believers on the inside, but simply do not want to recognize it. This is something that would be up to that individual. I would encourage research and always be true to the deep part of yourself, but once again that is solely up to the single person involved.

Yes, I do; I think that people feel better when they are surrounded around others that carry the same thoughts. This alone could be a possible contributing factor to need for arguements and controversials issues in our world.
Response to RH
Yes; maybe the fact that Europe seems to have the highest concentration of 2012 support groups does have something to do with the fact that they want to be the first ones to do so. I think this relates to my discussion on the fascination with death and all that surrounds it. Believers want to know all they can about 2012 and Europe may be acting upon this curiosity to motivate themselves toward an answer.
Implications
If the 2012 Prediction division remains unresolved, then the possible implications can be deadly. I touched on this issue in my “Impact” post, but to clarify I will state my thoughts on the future in a more clear way.
This prediction is dividing people. There are believers and nonbelievers. The separation is already happening. There are masses forming support groups for the event as well as people forming blogs dedicated solely to the denouncing of the believers. Disunity rarely has a positive impact. Unless the Prediction is discussed or researched in an unbiased manner then as the date gets closer this division will become bolder and possible repercussions might occur.

The 2012 Prediction: Putting it All in Perspective
It has been my pleasure introducing you all to the intricacies that surround the 2012 prediction and providing possible insights to related subjects that either strengthen or weaken your acceptance of the idea. This is my last blog post and I would like to leave you all with, what I believe, a good summation of the big points that I made during my blogging time so that you will take away from this blog what I have been trying to stress the most.
· The Sun is predicted to start a new solar cycle that coincides with the end of the Mayan Calendar. The sun does this periodically and the last cycle ended 20-30 years ago and we are still here.
· Around December 21, 2012, the Earth will be at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. This has never happened before and no one knows exactly what will happen. Some predict immediate pole shifts, which will cause devastating weather change, while others predict nothing will occur.
· The 2012 Prediction seems to be especially controversial because, as humans, we are innately fascinated with death. Death is interesting. The media knows this and that is why the news today focuses around tragedies. This fascination contributes to the fear associated with the 2012 Prediction as well as to coerce some to take precautions by forming support groups throughout the world.
· No one exactly knows what is going to happen on December 21, 2012. Since no one can predict the future, then trying to predict what exactly is going to happen on such a far away date is impossible.
· Finally, this prediction is dividing people. The believers and the nonbelievers. Division is rarely good and unless collaboration is executed soon, then as the date get closers, individuals may start acting upon this division in conflicting ways.
These are the points that I wish for you to take and reflect deeply upon as this date gets closer. Whatever happens on December 21, 2012, good luck and thanks for taking the time to read my blog.

Yes; from what I have researched it seems that those interested with the 2012 prediction are easily dividing and members of those groups are becoming more aware and are openly bonded with fellow members of the same group. So the 2012 prediction is in fact dividing us and at the same time uniting us.
Annotated Links Continued
If you want to learn more information about the Mayans and the history of their civilization and calendar, then I suggest that you look at this link. Here you will learn more about the 2012 prediction through the thoughts of a believer. I believe that it is very interesting to feel the tone of this believer and the knowledge that he claims to know based around the Mayan Calendar. Finally, this site is followed by a question and answer session that further explains the prediction in relation to the Mayans.
At this link, a nonbeliever writes, in an informal tone, why there will be no “doomsday” in 2012. He breaks down his argument into three sections: Mayan Calendar, The end of the long count = the end of the earth, and Doomsday. It is very interesting to see the evidence of the Mayan cultural that he elaborates on and how it ensures that 2012 will not be the end of time.
Finally, this link explains why not worrying is important. It breaks down the issue from a general side and then a psychological side. This site also mentions some side effects that are contributed by worrying. If you want to know helpful ways to reduce worrying or in what ways worrying can negatively affect your life, then you might find this site interesting as well as insightful.
