Ha ha! I'll jump on. I am holding out hope that the world does end in 2012, that way, I can justify not paying my bills ever again. Which is what I plan to do when my employer of 7 years lays me off in 2 months.
Seriously, I think that we will all wake up on 12/22/2012 with one **** of a hangover, in a deeply screwed up country (If we're lucky enough to have not yet imploded from crazy debt).

Not a believer. Not scared in the least. There's no scientific basis for any of it, so what's to worry about? I was far more concerned that the LHC would violently demonstrate that our universe exists in a false vacuum than I am about anything happening in 2012. I don't think the Mayans are even concerned about 2012, as it's not the end of the world to them, but the end of an old cycle and a start of a new one.

Yeah thats what I am thinking as well.....I mean, look at all of the Y2K hype that took place before the calendar hit the big 2000; All hype, nothing happened. Was i scared? No, not really.
I think this is a problem with society as a whole, and that is we like to bring forth such ideas to scare the general public. And a lot of it, as you say above, is just speculation. I mean, there is not really a clear cut firm scientific basis for everything thats out there. And sometimes I do feel that these so-called "scientists" just take a bunch of crap and put it together and say "hey look what i just found out. now are you scared or not?" and what they put out there doesnt even make sense most of the time...
The reason I bring this up is that its been hanging out there for a while now, this whole 2012 thing, and I am watching a History Channel Documentary about it at the moment.

As far as Apocalypses go, this one needs to get in line:
