		<description>Everyone,

By year 2012 on December 21 despite extreme disasters &amp; climate change and too much sunspots = Solar Flares would make impossible for us to live, it will be a proper aligment of the galaxy.

So don&#039;t worry, God is always with us, God protects us...

Keep meditating and praying so that God and us can heal and protect our world on December 21, 2012</description>

		<description>Ah, it&#039;s good meeting people with open mind. Most of people in my forum, really get stupid for this 2012 freakish event. 

@amy : you can&#039;t trust all stuff scattered on youtube. All of those liars are making money from this hoax.
@cmcaguilera : yeah, i can&#039;t hardly wait that time too. But on second though it&#039;ll be another &quot;2012&quot; prediction coming out. Maybe 2020 or another beautiful number</description>

		<description>Amy,

You have absolutely nothing to worry about.

The producers for &quot;2012&quot; are using a giant marketing campaign of lies and dishonesty to make people aware of what the movie is about.  If you were completely ignorant to the fact that people believe something&#039;s going to happen in 2012 and saw a preview for a movie named &quot;2012&quot; about the world ending, you would probably be confused as to the plot of the movie and what significance the year 2012 has.

The YouTube video of the planet near the sun is as explained earlier, lense flare.  An event that occurs when light from a lighted object strikes a lense at an awkward angle and creates a minor image on the screen.

To sum everything up on Mayan prophecy -- This is the end of the Mayan 13th cycle.  Does that mean that calendar ends?  No.

When December 31st rolls around, do you believe the worlds going to end?  No, the calendar&#039;s just starting over.  The Mayan calendar follows the exact same concept, just on a larger scale.</description>

		<description>Most of what youv put is on the NASA website. 
Theres a picture on youtube of an actual planet near the sun. i sent it too NASA and they didnt reply. Im not sure if its a fake or not. im only 18 and im very scared that the world is going to tne dtheres been many theorys such as the pole shift, nibiru, Mayan calender. Also if its not going to happen why have the made a film called 2012, and at the end of the trailor put for the truth researsh 2012. surely thats making everyone thinking its true. im very confused, if its false why are they telling people to look it up. please answer these im very confused. 
ive sent the link to that youtube video, its in the first few seconds. so you can explain what is it they have taken a picture of, because it looks very real to me.                                           http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_grBBl3Zsk</description>
