It is known to be a certainty that we will have this pandemic, but the question is WHEN?

It looks promising that it will be released sometime this year.\n\nHowever It's release has been foretold before so don't hold your breath.

Firstly, you want answerers to tell you "some events". Do you want those in 2005 or predicted ones in 2006?  Secondly, how can we be "specific" if your question is asking for something nobody can ascertain? Whether 2006 has a lot of events depends on how you define "events". There could be an outbreak of H5N1 (you can say this is a single event) and authorities all over the world have different plans to deal with it and the United Nations co-ordinate them (for example only, and those can be regarded as two separate events)...\n\nAfter all, we are not fortune-tellers. Even they themselves are not 100% sure of whether their guessings are correct.

People have been predicting the world would end over and over but we are still here. Now the truth is with all science and theology no one can say when the world is going to end. It could end today it could end tomorrow it could end a thousand years from now. The Mayan Calender just runs out. that doesn't mean the world is going to end. God bless kisses Betty.

I don't know a single soul who can answer that question flat out right now honestly. Of course they're going to say yes, its the right thing to do. But, no one can predict there actions in a time of panic. I'm sure that there would be some hesitation, and such a hypothetical question desereves a hypothetical answer.

watch CNN. They say likely don't know when and how soon.  It was in the news today again.

It will be in very near future.

Good question. At this point there is no expected date yet

I already knew we were all gonna die... \n\nbut i was told it would be at 1:23am on April 5, 2006 (04/05/06) and it didn't happen... so I guess I'll get myself prepared again...

There is a good discussion on this on a snopes.com messageboard (see link below). The best guess appears to be Air.

It's premature to expect anything.  Politicians regularly promise the world and even promise to tie a nice little bow around it too.  Nobody wants promises - they want results.\n\nAnd whether anything is REALLY going to change or not is still completely a matter of speculation.  We will all have to wait and see.\n\nBut, as the saying goes, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".  We may not get different results from the governement after this election, but at least we're not doing the same thing over and over.  And most of America clearly doesn't like the way various things are going.

an epidemic will cause people to be in all different stages of a sickness, some with moderate affect and some on their death bed, this will be wide spread, there will be panick, and people robbing and killing each other. kinda like when the hurricane struck new orleans.

What makes you think we will not kill ourselves off tomorrow? We're doing a pretty damn good job of it lately. I don't believe in the crap that person told you. I DO believe that we are well on our way of exterminating ourselves within the next 10-20 years. That's being nice. Honestly, it'll probably take less time, at the rate we are going.

I believe we are in the end times and that the tribulation is near, but I can't agree with you on 2018. We don't know when it will be and date setting is a good way to be wrong.

It is not 2020 but 2012 when the present world is going to end and why?\n\n\nYes! 2012... this shall be the year of reckoning. 2012 shall be remembered in the history of mankind for ever. Why?\n\nFrom the position of planetary movements and astrological calculations... the significance of number three for the present civilization is immense. The 12th year of the 21st century totals to number three.\n\nHere we need to remember that talking of 2012 means... we have already established into the 21st century which numerically totals to three. The 12th year also totals to three. A significant upheaval on the whole shall be the order of the day.\n\n\nAdharma would be rooted out for ever. 2012 and beyond is the period for spiritual elevation. 2012 rings the start of the golden era. Beyond 2012 it shall only be harmony and peace all over.\n\nThe society would have learnt its lessons. Unethical practices and wanton desires would take a back seat. The lure of money and position would almost cease to exist. It shall be the time when a pot of gold found lying in the backyard would not have any claimant.\n\nThe glitter of gold and diamonds would be a passé. The spiritual wisdom would become the order of the day. 2012 is the year of sacrifice. Both who have committed a crime and those who have not will be sacrificed. The one who has committed a crime shall face the gallows. Those who believe in upholding the values in the society may lay down their lives for the sake of humanity.\n\n\nThe sacrifice by the eminent would be by will. To cleanse the society of its ills in 2012 many would come forward and sacrifice self on the altar of God. Unless this happens the upheaval in the society is just not possible. The blood of the innocent would be spilled. There is no other remedy.\n\nEvery individual who is found guilty by the society will be done away with outright. The legal laws, the judiciary, the administration and the political setup of the day would not be able to bring a respite to them. 2012 is the year of Florence Nightingale. The dawn of the new era (the golden period) can just not occur without innocents having laid down their lives for the sake of their country.\n\n\nDemocracy will truly be practiced in 2012 as it was meant to be. By the people, for the people and of the people shall become the motto of the day. The complete power in every country would get transferred to the public at large.\n\nNo scales would ever weigh in favor of culprits in 2012. The corrupt advocacy would find itself short of words for it would be an end in itself for most of the professionals who had gone corrupt in the fag end of the Kali Yuga.\n\nIf the society has to climb back to its pristine glory of the golden era... even the meek would be found handling metal. Whatever the poor and the downtrodden would be able to lay their hands upon would become their weapon. In the last phase of the Kali Yuga which we are passing through... the complete society has been taken to ransom by about 6% population comprising of the politicians, bureaucrats, judiciary and the police force.\n\n\nIn every nook and corner of the world situation would be the same. Be it the most developed corners of the world like Los Angeles and New York, or the fashion streets of London, the Goliath would face the David. However trying circumstances... David would finally win the end.\n\nThe elephant would tremble seeing an ant. Democracy would be practiced at its best and that would make even the mightiest seek refuge.\n\n2012 is the year when forgiveness would pave way for ruthlessness. The opportunity missed can only be repaid in blood. Humility has been practiced for long... to bring order to the society punishment is the only solution.\n\n\n2012 is the year of the Avatar of the era... people are awaiting with abated breath the coming of Bhagwan Kalki... one who shall deliver the mankind from the existing ills of today. Bhagwan Kalki would be a spiritual master of the highest order with th

I think not, because it is too expected and too predictable.  And think about it, there have been 20 06/06/06s before.....1906, 1806, 1706, etc.

I'm not surprised.  I predicted that would happen; expect more of that.  I was wondering when others would begin to see it too.
