It's not "ridiculous" to believe the world will end.
Some way or another the world will end. Like when the sun dies in a few billion years. For all we know the Earth only has a few billion years left. Or a giant meteor hits in 30 years. Or we all kill each other in 10 years.
What's "ridiculous" is that people are trying to "predict" the world's end and it ends up sounding crazy. All this nonsense about calendars and future-sight.

There are people who believe the world will end in 2012 though, so suicides should be expected. So should looting and things. Of course it will be a mash up of normalcy and abnormality. There are people who run around thinking "I'm gonna die anyway, might as well." and end up not dying at all. But for the most part I think things will be civil.
Heck, there were riots in London over god knows what, I'm pretty sure the end of the world will cause an uproar. Especially from the religious community.
