AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 23 (UPI) -- Thousands of people in the Netherlands say they expect the world to end in 2012, and many say they are taking precautions to prepare for the apocalypse.

The Dutch-language de Volkskrant newspaper said it spoke to thousands of believers in the impending end of civilization, and while theories on the supposed catastrophe varied, most tied the 2012 date to the end of the Mayan calendar, Radio Netherlands reported Monday.

De Volkskrant said many of those interviewed are stocking up on emergency supplies, including life rafts and other equipment.

Some who spoke to the newspaper were optimistic about the end of civilization.

"You know, maybe it's really not that bad that the Netherlands will be destroyed," Petra Faile said. "I don't like it here anymore. Take immigration, for example. They keep letting people in. And then we have to build more houses, which makes the Netherlands even heavier. The country will sink even lower, which will make the flooding worse."

Petra sounds like a blonde beauty contestant!

Many liberal, multiculturalist, secular nations in the EU are having this challenge, although in their case it's Muslim immigrants. Would you like to know how bad it's gotten?

What is currently the most popular male baby name in Amsterdam? Mohammed. I sh*t you not!

It's also the 2nd most popular male baby name in Britain, go figure...

I doubt supplies or a life boat will help if it is really going to be the end of civilization .......

Hey NoBueno,
You're emotiocon says it well! If you're interested, try reading "America Alone" by Mark Steyn. It's really comical, but makes an argument (ableit a poorly cited one) for the collapse of many EU states to "Eurabia" in the next fifty years. In addition to Mohammed rapidly becoming the most popular boys name, it cites fertility rates indicating that EU will have a majority Muslim population in our lifetime.

Although it has some scary conclusions, it made me feel better about our problems Thanks to our Bill of Rights (which most secular EU states don't have) we're fairly insulated for the time being.

Happy reading!

I like Mark Steyn and find him extremely refreshing. I will definetly check out America Alone.
