Man, thanks for the explanation. But... hehe, I tried to use irony in this thread Perhaps I should emphasised it a little more. I wrote exactly what they claim (their crap about the pole shift). I indeed used to be an ignorant before, but I have gained some knowledge to debunk those lies.

This topic got my interest a bit, because here in Poland we've got a lot uneducated people to believe it all and to indoctrinate others. Really, it's a big problem. Whenever there is a news about some disaster or global warming on our Yahoo-like services, there dozens of comments, like:
"I'm sorry people, but there will be a pole shift in 2012, a 3 km high tsunami will wipe us all." or "2012 is coming, the pole shift is inevitable. NASA already knows that and is collecting 'paper books' in the mountains for the next civilisation so that they don't have to start from nothing".
Or the best one:
"Nibiru is passing the Earth in 2012, it has a tail of comets and will couse a pole shift and a bombardment of comet's pieces. Secret report of US government says that Nibiru was first spotted in 1983, it was near in 2003, now it will not spare us. But there is still hope! ETs living on Nibiru named Samuel and Olivier contacted Lucyna Łobos, the famous medium, she has sessions with them and with reliable audience that can confirm that she's not lying (BTW, one man in this audience used to say that sun goes supernova in 2012). The ETs said thet she must go to Egypt, the Cheops pyramide, where she will find secret tomb of Cheops and a key to the labyrinths in his mummy's stomach (!). In those labirynth below the pyramid, she will activate something special that will connect Earth to Mars (or whatsoever)...." uff, enough. I didn't make this story up. My God, I don't know why is this woman doing this, maybe she hopes some freaks will give her money so that she can dig in Egypt, but I really don't think anyone will let her touch the pyramids.

Well, this is what many people believe in Poland, not only teenagers.
