As most, or all of you know, there's been the notorious 2012 "world-ending" hoax. Is it just the US, or is the world filled with morons (again, nicest way I can put it)? We were talking about it in English today, and I learned half of my class were borderline retards. It was sad I saw what I did in an honors class.
Some kid raised his hand (later called on by the teacher) and talked about how he heard that the world was definitely ending on December 21, 2012. He also said that "the Jews" and some other dumb-ass name he had for a group for people had already taken maneuvers to try and escape this catastrophe.
Being the smart man I thought he was, my teacher then said "Uhhhh... what's your source for this? I read the paper every day and if it was legitimate I definitely would of heard about it." The kid followed up by exclaiming "Oh some channel."
At that moment, I was amazed how stupid some of them were, but that wasn't it. I of course had to say something, so I told my teacher the word "gullible" was written on the roof above him; he silently laughed. Then, he said to the class "Did you know that the word 'gullible' wasn't in the dictionary?"
Being an English class, there were dictionaries under every desk. I think you can infer what half of the class did at that point.
Seriously, just sad.
My question to those of you located outside of the US is as follows: Are there as many world-ending believers (retards) where you live? Are they just as gullible?
Edit: I apologize for using the word "retard"; as this is just a rant, I mean no offense.

Recently read the books "Animal Farm" and "1984". It was amazing to see how people would live if they did not know there was something better out there to live and or a better way to live. It kind of reminded me of the way North Korea is today. It's crazy to think How the Nazi's got most of Germany to follow Hitler also in his ways and thinking did most people even have a conscious back then? To me the two books opened my eyes of how stupid people can be by following what they think is right and not even seeing if it's a valid source or anything.
Now regarding the end of the world thing... I don't think anything is going to happen that day. But things are starting to get weird in a world today and things are starting to go down hill and when the BOOM goes off I don't want to be here. All those people are buying those dooms day protection containers I think it's a waste of money. Because if somebody bad does happen like that I sure don't want to be around here anymore. And after this today: You must login or register to view this content. I don't see any good things coming at all.

Yeah, there are idiots everywhere. And idiots is putting it lightly.
Oh, a calendar ends on the 21st of December? WELL OBVIOUSLY THAT MEANS THE WORLD IS ENDING, THAT'S THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION, RIGHT?
Damn it I can't comprehend this level of stupidity. And it's even worse for me to try and comprehend because when I was about 13 I actually thought this was a rational possibility
