I know its not till later but we all live in different time zones so when it falls in your spot "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and lets hope its better than this year.

We can't wish for world peace because someone's fighting somewhere, but for individuals I hope you guys and girls live safe.

You only realise you life has been a waste of time, when you wake up dead.

Happy New Year every body !
Best wishes to all of you!
Let's hope that the (roughly) 6000 years of recorded history will continue to inspire us and drive us all to better ourselves and the whole of Mankind !

It's time for Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot video yearly viewing !

Earliest validated writing dates from roughly around 3500 BC ( Sumer ) - and there are some discoveries of even older ones (the tablets of Tartaria in Romania which presumably are from 5300 BC, highly debated yet).

Happy New Year!

This crap pisses me off. Next year will be worse than last year. I refuse to lie to myself just because it's some stupid artificial holiday based on an inaccurate calender made by a cult of assholes who killed hundreds of thousands of people over the time of hundreds of years.

So...I guess you celebrate in March at the winter Equinox which marks the end of Winter and the theoretical completion of a solar orbit ? :)

That would make sense at least! We already celebrate the winter solstice (which humanity celebrated for thousands of years and now stupidly call christmas)!

Calendar haters gonna hate?

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Christians of olde actually stuck Christmas on top of the pagan festival celebrating the winter solistice in order to get rid of the olde faith.

JC was actually born 4bc in the September as Jupiter, Venus and Saturn were in conjuction creating the star of Bethlehem. I hope that clears up some confusion.

Anyway again "happy new year"

Citation needed. Nobody knows the birthdate for sure. So your claim is just the typical opinion confused as fact.

Well for all ye Jesus haters out there, the most academically correct system is the HE (Holocene or Human Era system) which has it's year 0 in 10001 BC ( the beginning of the Holocene Epoch as well as archeological evidence of human civilization (keyword: civilization; the Homo genus is roughly 200 000 years older than that) so this would actually make for the new year 12014 ! Yay!

So either that or you add those 200k years also and come up with 212014 - since the beginning of all that is Man!
such wow
much history
so human

Its going to be knocked back again soon, just got to see some artifacts estimated at 12k prior to now via radiocarbon dating.
And given they were ceramics and metals alongside religious sites (yay sacrifice skeletons that arent burnt!) it will be even longer ago.

So happy new years everyone, enjoy the show, the drink, and the fact Im going to Fanfest.
