Bush's approval rating is 38%
52 percent, say they do not trust the president "to make the right decisions during a domestic crisis
Only 49 percent of Americans now believe the president has strong leadership qualities
BUSH POLLS
The rural Vs. city thing, well just look how the Katrina victims have been scattered to the wind....rural and city populations could become uprooted easily.

Dr. Robert Brown, a physicist at Duke University analysed the science involved in Titor's time travel explanations and states it is impossible, both in theory and practice. He alludes that Titor's story plagiarizes older science novels such as Alas, Babylon and non-fiction works such as Michio Kaku's Hyperspace to construct his time travelling stories. He concludes his critique by suggesting that people are extremely gullible to believe the plausibility of Titor's time travel and stories of a post-apocalypse world.
Titor's story also shows similarities to the plot of the 1995 movie 12 Monkeys, and to a fictional timeline for a role-playing game (see external links).
Titor also seems to use (our) modern diction.
The website www.johntitor.com, which posts question-and-answer format discussions between John Titor and forum members, provides critics with countless examples of inconsistencies in Titor's claims. Titor claims that one of his favourite hobbies is reading history, which (unless he focused on ancient history) would give him a great deal of information on the events of 1998-2036. Titor avoids answering complex questions concerning the environment.
The core of Titor's argument is formed around the fact that a civil war erupts in the United States in 2004-2005. Clearly this is inaccurate.
Ultimately the fundamental proof disproving Titor's claims must be the fact that although he is prepared to talk freely and uncensored on internet forums about his time travel adventures, his reasons for not convincing the reader beyond a reasonable doubt lie in his own moral code, the same code by which he openly discusses his adventures on internet forums. The openness and toyishness with which Titor discusses far off future events, turn into vague descriptions when matters come to events close at hand. The ultimate flaw becomes apparent when one considers that while Titor explains that he does not put much weight in his revealing of his exploits to our timeline (because it is different to his), he cannot provide a single shred of tangible irrefutable evidence that he is from the future. Notably any reference to 9-11 (a mere 6 months in the future of his final posts), the tsunami or hurricane Katrina. It is undeniable that an authentic time traveller from 30 years in the future, having the same lax predisposition as Titor, would have left no doubt.

We will not organized groups engaged in maneuvers and combat before I would say 2007-2008 when it will be at everyone doorstep, just like Titor said.

Syrinx, what did you do come up with that phrase and then build all your arguements around it? No wonder your 'anti JT' stance is very ephemeral.
JT stated that it was the people vs government, not the rurals vs the cities (it just looks like rurals vs cities cuz most of the fighters leave the cities where the government is concentrated) How do i know this?
"They will be the ones arresting without due cause" - key word ARRESTING
"...trade freedom for security. They were wrong" - who's in charge of giving us security?
Why is it that most people can say more with one paragraph than you do with whole pages? If you are going to argue against JT (and i have seen a few here who CAN do it effectively) at least use something concrete and substantial.

I have more than 5 posts on this thread beginning on page 20 something. I have been around here for years, i just rarely post.
"Maybe you should read more on this thread" is just another ignorant statement from you.
Maybe you should look up the definitions of concrete and substantial before you ASSUME that i don't know what im talking about. In fact, look up ASSUME while your at it.
I understand your need to defend yourself when you presume that you are under attack (which you werent), maybe i should have said it more like:
"All your facts are based upon an opinion, maybe if you could actually back up your opinions with something more like facts, then we could take you more seriously". I really do want to take you more seriously, but my 8 year old has come up with better reasons why its all a fake than you have, but then again my 8 year old is reading at the 11th grade level.
You keep mentioning 'prove a waco type event' and 'show me armed conflict', i just posted in 'who was john titor' if you'd like an answer and to see that i practice what i preach.
