Who believes in the 2012 Apocalypse theory? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Doomsday_Prediction)?

I don't. There have been tons of doomsday prophecies throughout the years, like in 1500 and Y2K. They didn't come true, and there's an extremely good chance that this won't happen either.

There aren't even any valid theories about what could cause it . Also that date isn't certain anyway. Some say it translates to the 20th, some say December in general, and more just say sometime in 2012.

Durer created this self-portrait because he was afraid the world was about to end and wanted to appear pious.

Nope... just means we need to buy a new calendar.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
