Alexander would be turning 4 this year, John Titor 6. Both would be living in backroad hicktowns without much outside contact by the time their 10, then be concentrating heavily on the war and school from 14 forward, what with the nukes going off around then.
My guess is their too young to have known ATS, when they came here and found out you could basically walk into a Library and use a computer, they decided to look up 'Time Travel' and ran into what? timetravel.tk or whatever.

Nope, in their timeline John Titor never visited, both timetravel.tk and this thread don't exist.

Not saying it is true, but I would say that the logic can hold. Just because a story doesn't hold under absolute scrutiny doesn't mean the truth has no part in it.
Still, I agree. This guy's riding Titor's wave. I seriously doubt he's even read all of the Titor stuff. Whether John was real or not, well we'll know for sure later this year.

My question is: Why come back from the future, go on forums to socialize and give no proof of your claims? Why not just say you are an average joe if your purpose is to socialize? Or does he not have anything else to talk about?

That's how you bust fake time travellers. You wait for them to contradict themselves and contradict the knowledge you already have. He says he's ready to "defend himself"... so I guess a military unit with bulletproof vests, machine guns, gas, tanks, helicopters etc stant no chance, if the government found out he was't lying. He's the TERMINATOR! Resistance is futile, all will be assimilated!
Alexander and Titor are both flukes... I hope it is obvious now. I can explain further contradictions if its not.

The Titor story was a grand way for a person to push his beliefs onto others, the guy's a hardline republican who believes in nothing more than a simple country life where people can be armed to the teeth.
He is scaremongering, while this lie is a fanciful and elegant one it still remains a falsity, and one that is readily swallowed by those who wish the world to be a little more exciting than it is in its current peaceful state.
People who believe this are beyoned gullible and instantly lose face for even believing it, i swear to god if i hear another member saying "well titor said" i'm going to go throw a hissy fit larger than a yellowstone supercaldera eruption.
HE IS A FAKE, HE IS A FRAUD, THERE IS NO CIVIL WAR, THERE WON'T BE IN 2004/2005, HE IS USING POPULAR EVENTS AND EXTREMELY OBVIOUS OUTCOMES TO TRY AND SELL HIMSELF AS A PROPHET.
GROW THE # UP AND BELIEVE IN REALITY.

Well, if it was that easy...it would not be around for 4+ years. Read the stories and do the research. I personally don't believe it, but I could still defend the story against what you just posted with ease. I can certainly tell that you have never read any of it, otherwise you would know that what you said is a weak arguement.

Don't be so certain. I've read the entire john titor's thing and the whole alexander's thing. If you want to, go ahead and defend him. The Christian argument holds water... the other arguments can fall through.
The alien argument is by no means certain, at least to you. Given what I know, it is (to me). Also, I know what the government does and is capable of doing, so once again the argument where he is apprehended by the government works... if you knew what I know. But to you it's also uncertain, and I understand that.
So this leaves the argument about Christianity. How could Christianity co-exist with scientific fact (according to him) of infinite worldlines? They absolutely contradict each other... he'd have to be the most ignorant person on the planet to pull that off..
