Sorry... I didn't click on it to blow it up. I thought it was just a bag of candy or something.

Now that I've seen it in full frame, I am amused by the warning near the bottom of the front side of the box:

"Warning: This is live ammo... this is NOT a toy."

He he... Gee... How dumb ARE the people who buy this stuff?

Sorry.... I just HAD to go there! It was just a JOKE!

 

Not a problem, I bought a couple of boxes for my collection I don't remember what I paid BUT I do know it was to much to just shoot up. Who knows if falls by the wayside in the next year or so the price will double or more!

 

The Mayan calender just flips over and starts again. If we have anything to fear at all, which we do, its us, not a calender.

 

I'd like to think the Mayan's didn't go to all that trouble for nothing.
Besides, isn't it obvious, they were getting their knowledge from a superior being... maybe one of my relatives?

I'm still not certain they are full of it...so I'm gonna start to panic around Thanksgiving time.

 

Yeah, the Mayan Calender, the Hopi Myths, the Archons, the Urshu, the Wingmakers, ....

Just the other day, I was telling Samlazaz that it's not worth all the publicity, and he had nothing to say...

I was going to say that "zombies" are nothing more than Hollywood dramatizations, but I backed off on that because just before 9/11, a guy in the UK stated that New York and Los Angeles would be "ATTACKED BY HUMAN ROBOTS". That might be the REAL version of zombies.... During Viet Nam, it was kids with hand grenades and explosives. Today, it's adult suicide bombers.....

For all the publicity the Mayan Calender has gotten (along with the Hopi Legends and myths), I find it interesting that some of the much older records are ignored. I would ignore all of it except for the evidence left behind from various civilizations in the past. Some of the stone masonry is a little too exact for a "primitive" culture using thrown spears and pebbles thrown by slings. Generally, other areas of technology within a culture are advanced to a similar level, which would suggest that something like a calender would have the same level of intelligence and knowledge behind it. But, just as we do not understand the other technologies within the cultures, we also understand very little about the calender and may be reading far too much into it.

As to the end of an era, and the beginning of another, I would dare to say that one era ended about one hundred years ago. And, in the era since, we've begun to advance in geometric proportions. That would be the "ERA OF THE FLAME", where heat, light, and all comforts came from fire. That came to an end with the "AGE OF ELECTRIC POWER". Since harnessing the electron, no one even thinks about going back to cooking over an open hearth in a sod house with a dirt floor. We've gone from a "runner/messenger" to trying to outrun Motorola that communicates at the speed of light. We've gone from "biomechanical power" (horse and buggy) to "fueled mechanism" that moves us at greater and greater speeds (with far more comforts). All as a result of going from the "flame" to the "electron".

I don't see the end of the Mayan calender as the "end". Instead, it's a "NEW BEGINNING". Something really new to look forward to. Perhaps, hydrogen power will take over and make petroleum take a back seat.

Want to start watching reruns of "ANCIENT ALIENS"?????

 

I never said to be afraid.
Read it again.

 

The Mayans prediction wasn't about the end of the world, that is a Christian add-on.

The Mayans predicted that the Underworld (Heaven) and the gods would come to Earth for 1,000 years.
And all the bad men will die.

It only predicts your death, if you consider yourself evil. Or if lots of other people consider you evil.

 

That does sound like Bible Prophecy.
Christ's Second Coming and rule on Earth for about x- amount of years up to the 2nd Resurrection, when all evil will be judged.

 

Yeah, but the Christians have the "dooms day" mentality, even though their book says that they get 1,000 years of their lords rule.
I think it's because they're white, and white is the "bad" that all the books talk about removing.

We ARE the scourge of the Earth. Pollution, Environmental destruction, Displacement of animals/metals/stone/plants, etc

 

I doubt it will double in value! They mass produced it, its just hornady defense ammo with a green tip instead of red. My dealer had it cheaper than the regular hornady. Some stores are charging an arm and a leg for it because of the novalty item.
