The What-if game!

Okay I just thought up a little game that can get amusing or funny depending on what the person in the next post says. All you have to do is answer the question above then ask your own "What-if" question. Just make your question in bold so everyone can see it quickly. Your reply to the question above you can be answered any way you'd like, if you seriously cant answer it(or the question is just plain stupid) then just say pass and post the question you wanted to ask.
MODS REMOVE ASAP IF: You don't approve, things get a little much, or this just turns into a cesspool of flames.
What if, the iPhone never came to the party?
What if, John F. Kennedy was never shot?
What if, Men never had nipples?

Tell me about 2012...and the world coming to an end

I just watched the movie 2012 and was wondering if any of that stuff is really going to happen, of course no one knows for sure but it is kind of looking that way, the plane of ellipse will happen, where the planets of the solar system revolves around the sun completes one full round with respect to the equator of the milky way will happen on that day happens every 26,000 years. The last time this event happened, earth was in the peak of last ice age. The Mayan calender ended on the same day as well. But maybe The Mayans just could not find a big enough stone. or their calendar being circular means that it loops back to its start. or the Mayans were proven wrong because their Apocolypse has already come. What do you guys think?
This is how i look at it. If that movie was never made. then you wouldnt know about 2012 now would you?
If someone made a movie tomorrow saying 10/10/10 and something was going to happen would you believe it?
No one knows when the world is going to end.. or if it ever would.. that question cant never be answerd no matter what you believe in.
Its been so many movies related to 2012 like "the day after tomorrow, I AM Legend" and so on. did that ever happen? well something smaller to it did with a hurricane but no.
But i dont think none of it is going to happen.. again this is just how i see it i dont think no man can name a date or time or tell you when you going to die. those things just happen. You can be here today and gone tomorrow
We all just have to wait to that date comes.

I Actually knew about it before i saw the movie i just did not think much of it, but you have to admit it is kind of weird how so many things point to December 21 2012 as being the end of the world.

Why not read up on 2012 in wiki and make your own conclusion. A number of people have predicted the end of the world at the turn of the century including nostradamus and the mayans

Even there is an article on cracked.com where they have mentioned all the major theories leading to 2012 and then refuted it on the facts.
The alignment of planets sun in a straight line in milky way---already happenned.
The biggest solar flare -- was supposed to come in 2012 but have come already in this decade.
and lots more..
The only practical reason i can think of is global warming which can result in something like the movie "day after tommorrow"....
Is it just me or does it seem like alot of earth quakes have been happening lately, and im pretty sure it says in the bible that there are suppose to be alot of earthquakes before the end of the world

Questions for people in New Orleans area

My mom wants to go there for a trip. Possibly New Years or June for sister's birthday. I've read somethings from google on other forums, but the newest is from Sept, and next is Feb of this year. I'm wondering if a tourist can go anywhere besides the French Quarter to sight see. And if so, do we really have to take a cab everywhere? Not safe to walk. That's what I read.
Honestly, I don't want to go. I don't want to babysit 3 drunks while I'm missing my girl. But I'll tell her your answer whether good or bad.
Thanks.

There is a lot to do. But I can only tell you what NOT to do. LOL
If you go to Pat O'Brien's don't drink the hurricanes like they are coolaid. They taste like it. But they are not!!! You will regret it.
Don't go to the bar The Dungeon. You might see things you can't unsee. Like midgets dressed in leather crawling into a hole in the wall to another room.
Did I mention NOT to drink the Hurricane's at Pat O's like they were coolaid?
You can always do the swamp things. Also there are a lot of historical places in NO. I hear. All I found was Bourbon Street when I was there. I was always within crawling distance of the hotel. Stayed at a nice historical place called Hotel St. Marie just a half block off of Bourbon St.
http://www.hotelstmarie.com/
EDIT: I never took my car out of the Hotel garage. It is safe in the quarter to walk. Make sure you know the boundaries though. It turns to crap REAL quick if you venture outside the boundaries. That is in the immediate area of the quarter and other parts of NO are nice and safe.
Huh, well thanks guys. I'll let her. If I go, I want to see some good bands, and things I like 85gallon was talking about. Idk about them. She found a place a block away the French Quarter on airbnb.com owned by a couple gay dudes renting their apartment out for 160 a night. 3/2 with upstairs balcony. Seems pretty cool.

[No Nexus 4] Everyone who didn't get a Nexus 4

Well I stayed up all night on Monday, refreshed the Google play page pretty much all day long on Tuesday. Didn't see anything except for "Coming Soon" and "Sold Out".
This thread is for all the people that will be looking for the next batch of phones. Posting useful links related to the next batch, speculation, rumors, etc. I'm interested in how many people actually didn't get one.
Post if you didn't get one, where your located, and what phone your stuck with until you get one.
I'm in British Columbia, (West Coast) Canada. Stuck with a Motorola Milestone, that I'm about to flash CM6 to. Yes I said CM6, because CM7 barely runs on it.
This thread is a waste in my opinion. Look at me, i live in europe and there's not even a play store. I want one badly but that's life and we have no other choice but to wait.
There are 1000's maybe 10000's maybe even 100000's of users that want one but couldn't get one.
In.
Toronto, Canada. Same story as yours - stayed till 3am, was at school at the time, brought my laptop and everything, checked during lunch at 12EST... extremely pissed.
Stuck with a crappy iPhone 1, which doesn't receive texts, and doesn't receive calls half the time. I need a phone... badly :/

I live in the UK... woke up at 5am Tuesday morning. Had auto refresher on while playing a game. Saw it go live at 8:12am or near it and tried to buy it for about 50minutes.
I'm stuck with the HTC wildfire cause I returned my SGS3 1-2months ago.

OK... But what I'm interested in, is people who actively tried to buy one from the Play Store in a supported country, and could not. You are correct that many people exist in the world who had no choice.

This is similar to the poll threads that got closed. I don't think admins will keep this going.
- Doctors say my ugliness will be such an hindrance to my life that they declared me disabled for being so ugly crew
- Might as well be castrated crew
- Balding crew
- Chicks would rather smash a guy with HIV unprotected than me crew
- Suicide helpline encourage me to commit suicide crew
- Never fapped crew
- Sometimes I have the male version of the girl version of wet dreams crew
- Never smash anything less than 8/10 crew
All those crews, but not "No Nexus Crew"

I need links to all those, so I can join please.
I was on the site exactly as it changed from "coming soon" to "add to cart", but didn't manage to secure an order within the 20 minutes of it being on sale.
Extremely frustrated that now I'm not going to get the phone till next week at the very earliest.

hahahaha, your post definitely helped though. Thanks man.
The point of a forum is for discussion.... How is a single thread a waste. As long as people are communicating it's not a waste.
I think we need a thread for all the people that will be looking for the next batch of phones. Posting useful links related to the next batch, speculation, rumors, etc.
Had in my cart the second was available, but fkn errors would prohibit the purchase, either items disappeared from the cart, google wallet would hang and then give out an error, tried 5 times, then it went out of stock... WTF GOOGLE THIS IS A MAJOR ****UP...
PS: Didnt sleep until 3 am and woke up at 8 to make sure I get the phone only to fail because of google server issues **** THIS ****!!!
Had it in my cart so many times and every time I pressed by I got an technical issue error message, so frustrating...
Some of us (BeNeLux) will not get the phone at all! Don't complain that you could not get the first batch, there will always be second/ third and so on...
I woke up at 8 to see if they were for sale. I tried around 5 times to buy. On the 5th time, i got one, due to be shipped on the 15th. Only took me maybe 10-15 mins?
Just thought id say
Seriously? There is no need for a thread like this. Continue discussion in one of the other shipping threads.

Hey everybody, I am not posting to my own Facebook don't expect this to go anywhere, just need to vent I guess you can say. I was with a girl in 2012 she became pregnant and everything was going great. Well when I got with her I didn't know much about her past relationship. She wasn't just someone I had knew her back in highschool an when we got together it was many years after. I digress anyway she told me she was pregnant great awesome everything seemed to be going okay. Suddenly she stopped contact with me, she went back to her ex of 4years. He knew full well it was not his child. One day I get a message on the internet from her roommate saying she was posting that was in labor. Well her roommate comes down and I find out she cut ties with her roommate as well. But that wasn't it the day before she had slept with me she had slept with her ex roommates husband and then a couple hours later their best friend. Needless to say the child could've been anyone's I accepted the fact and we all went to the hospital she was giving birth at. When we went into the room her ex now again boyfriend was there and she wanted nothing to do with us and would not let us get a paternity test. She let her boyfriend sign as the father of the child again he knows full well the child isn't his. Me and the other potential fathers went to court to try and do it ourselves to order a paternity test but she ignored it all. Then to demand answers or so I thought I went to child support went through that ordeal. An basically was told since her boyfriend signed paternity of child nothing could be done and they would not force her to come. How could that be?? If I was a mother wanting to know they would rip heaven and hell to get me answers. But as a potential father wanting to know answers I was basically thrown out like I didn't matter. The baby was born June 29th 2013 and she is absolutely gorgeous from the pictures I gathered from the web. Everyday it eats me not to know the answers and be a father to an absolute angel. I know 2000 isn't a lot but I have had a horrible year with a layoff because of a really bad car accident. I'm not asking for a handout I would gladly pay back once I get the ball rolling on a job once again. Thank you
