Is there anything I can do about this?
The question
In the summer I told my university I wanted to go (I still have all correspondence emails back and forth from various people and departments) and questioned if I could take my courses online. They agreed and I registered into 4 courses in fall semester. In November when I went to register into winter semester they told me I could not take more than 3 or I would have to be back on campus. 3 would mean I would not graduate on time and if I graduate on time I would be eligible to only owe back to Student loans $ 26,000 and currently I am at $ 29,000. So if I finished my degree on time the remainder of my time in university would be essentially free. I could not afford such a quick (1 month) notice go back to be on campus (had they told me this in the summer I probably could have arranged something). So I tried to switch schools straight away thus for a January start date with my new school to not affect my graduation date – April 2012. I questioned the school to send student loan people a “change of academic status form” straight away, and they told me they had sent it that day. They did not send this until January. As a result my loan did not come in on time. Now student loan has place me as “withdrawing” from full-time studies and request that I send them $ 7300 for the past semester’s tuition before I can receive any more money. Clearly without there help I cannot afford to stay in school. Now not only will I be out the money I would have saved for graduating on time but now I don’t even know when I can get back to my studies as it will take me a while to pay that back. Is there anything I can do about this?! It feels so unfair.

Do you reckon terrible things are going to happen in 2012?
The question
I heard about the Mayan prophecy in the 90s and thought it was a bunch of nonsense. The closer we get to 2012 with more terrible things happening makes me wonder. How could a civilization that used stone tools have such an accurate calender? The calender is suppose to .0001 of a second more accurate than our current calender. How were they able to position their pyramids in the exact locations to mimic our galaxy and solar system? That is just a few of my questions.
You have whats going on in the world today. The world’s population is at 7 billion people and growing. I have researched how many people the earth can sustain indefinitely and the number is between 500 million to 2 billion people. The closer we get to the date, earthquakes and other natural disasters have quadrupled in intensity. We have the fantastic economic recession of 2008 and economists say if we have another recession it will be quadruple in size to the 2008 one. This will happen because many of the huge banks have become conglomerations, so if one goes, they all go!
Look at the U.S. dollar, the U.S. has a 14 trillion dollar debt, which China is the largest lender. China doesn’t use the U.S. dollar for trade anymore and replaced it with their yuan. If China drops all those American dollars on the U.S. market, then the dollar will become worthless and the U.S. will go bankrupt. The U.S. is the keystone of the world economy. What does a broke super-power with the largest military do when its whole economy just went down the toilet!
This is only a few things I have been looking at to get this gloom and doom vibe off the future. I hear about 2012 from people who reckon it was nonsense like I did ten years ago. If enough people start to believe something like this, then there is a fantastic possibility that it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Before 2008, I had a fantastic job, money in the bank. I just got done getting a bachelor’s degree in IT to round out my college for a brighter future. Now I am a man with 6 college degrees, two of them masters and I am working a temp job for minimum wage. I lost all of my savings. I had fantastic credit, because I paid on my student loan faithfully. When these scummy investment bankers from Wall Street pulled off all that fraud and had the U.S. government bail them out, it ruined millions of Americans futures. I never could of imagined how greedy and sleazy these people who are suppose to be leaders in my country. These politicians, investment bankers, industrialists are traders to this fantastic land and only hold their allegiance to the almighty dollar or pretty soon the almighty yuan!
Basically, when you see economic destruction to yourself and your country, huge natural disasters (tsunami 2004, hurricane Katrina 2006, Japanese earthquake 2011, etc…), over-population, close to oil depletion, 911, Afghanistan and Iraqi war just to name a few it makes you really wonder if the world is headed for annhilation!
I want to hear other peoples opinion on this subject?

We will have some issues with other nations but I reckon our governments eventually in time will have solutions to solve them.
By 2012, demons will come out from the depths of the Abyss and turn the world into a LIVING HELL.













The world population growth is really growing at a slower and slower pace. You know how the world population increased by a billion between 2000 and 2010? Well, by the 2050s, the population is expected to be about 9 billion, a much slower growth rate than what we’ve seen in the last 10 years. And thanks to the invention of vertical farms, we will be able to sustain the population much more than with regular farms.
Why do you reckon China and other countries haven’t stopped trading in the Dollar altogether? Because like you said, if the U.S. falls, everybody falls. Besides, the Dollar is worth more than the Yuan anyway. 1 US dollar = 6.83 Chinese yuan
The U.S. economy has a cycle, did you know that? It occurs in four stages:
1. Full recession
2. Early recovery
3. Late recovery
4. Early recession
Right now we are either in the “full recession” or “early recovery” phase, and are the current “Silent Generation”, meaning we are the generation to face the worst economy since the Fantastic Depression. But what happened after the Fantastic Depression? We recovered.
And I know it seems like we have more frequent natural disasters, but it only seems like that because with the internet, in rank travels much quicker and farther than it used to.
terrible things are happening in 2011
Compare what happended in 2010 with what has happened in only the 1st Half of 2011. Things ar starting to shake
