Yes, it is cruel, and I would ask you not to do it.
I am just as sick of these questions as anyone here, and I know that some of the posters are trolls, but there are still a lot of kids (and some adults too) out there who haven't got the word, and are scared, and need our help.
So, please try to be patient...we will only have this deluge for five more days.
[Edit] One of the most depressing things about this hoax is the cynicism of the perpetrators. Equally depressing is how cynical it has made YOU. The replies to this question, and the question itself, indicate how cynical WE here have become.

It is a bit cruel, but if people cannot check for the answers that have been given the past year or so, they have it coming. I agree with you, I'm sick of it.
Though I had a laugh when I found an article stating these "predictions" were made by a guy on a magic mushroom trip.

No, it's very tiring to deal with these questions. The world may end any day, but the fact that people have predicted it makes it much less likely. So sarcasm and jesting is not unreasonable. If the world does somehow end, it's not like you will see them again likely.

Say what you like these trolls are spending 5 points so you can pick up 4 easy points, enjoy. In 4 days time we'll have to start thinking again if we want some points.

The nature of the answer is irrelevant. So long as the trolls got an answer they are satisfied.
On a side note: Of what possible value are points?

No, it's not cruel - but it does make me sad to realise the number of stupid people in the world...

If it's a good looking girl, I tell her the world is going to end, and we should make the best of our time left together... Who knows, one of these days it might actually work!

No - anybody who believes the world is going to end has it coming.
