tired, incorrect argument #2
"we have to wait until....insert date here....to say he is a hoax"
c'mon, ya'll just keep pushing the date back. pretty soon its going to be 2036....
my BS meter was off the charts 3 paragraphs into his steaming pile of manure
what about torino ? don't tell me you are on the "torino isn't official" bandwagon that would be very disappointing
"By 2008, I would say the civil conflict is pretty much at everyone's doorstep."
After the war, the main problem was distribution. Can anyone tell me how many companies in the United States still manufacture bicycle tires today? Anyone who still has a bike in 2008 will find out."
JT: “You must realize that why people are fighting is more important that what they are fighting with. The conflict was not about taking and holding ground it was about order and rights. They were betting that people wanted security instead of freedom and they were wrong.”
"I would define it as a conflict where organized groups engage in maneuver and armed conflict."
“I would describe it as having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse.
”You must realize that why people are fighting is more important that what they are fighting with. The conflict was not about taking and holding ground it was about order and rights. They were betting that people wanted security instead of freedom and they were wrong.”
”When the civil "conflict" started and got worse, people generally decided to either stay in the cities and lose most of their civil rights under the guise of security or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas. Our home was searched once and the neighbor across the street was arrested for some unknown reason. That convinced my father to leave the city.”
The conflict will consume everyone in the US by 2012…”
"Outright open fighting was common by then and I joined a shotgun infantry unit in 2011. I served with the "Fighting Diamondbacks" for about 4 years. "
"They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process."
"Yes. You will be forced to ask yourself how many civil rights you will give up to feel safe."
“Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that.”
"They will be the ones arresting and holding people without due process."
"Yes. You will be forced to ask yourself how many civil rights you will give up to feel safe."

The 2% variation is a convenient way for John Titor to never have to be proven or disproven. Believers can always point to the argument that "Titor stated our worldlines are 2% different so that explains why such and such didn't happen".
Sounds a little too nice and tidy to me, the burden of proof doesn't really exist.

Merely because you would like a thing to fit into your model of reality doesn't mean it should. Multi World Theorem is a serious physics theory which has just as much promise and possibility as the other theories.
And yes, that would mean that a time traveller from a slightly different world couldn't be debunked definitively. My point is there is quite a bit of what Titor says which is similar to what he claims our future should weave itself as, similar enough not to just ignore it for me.
And I am so sorry you can't say anything in the face of that 2%. Why don't you take that up with the physicists working on string theory and quantum mechanics?
Just because you can't argue against it doesn't make it a copout.
