Loan me a few hundred bucks and I'll see to it that somewhere in some paralell universe, paralell me pays back paralell you.

Does anyone remember a time when people, when proven wrong, admitted they had erred, apologized for the error, maybe cracked a clever comment like "Oops, well color me embarassed! Nyuk! nyuk!" and then moved on? What the hell happened to those days? When did we move into this bizarro world of people being proven wrong and then inventing some excuse or even more wacked out theory to explain why their prediction or assumption was incorrect? Was this part of Titor, too? Did that sick SOB somehow throw the good people of our universe into this paralell hell in which wrong is right, up is down, and nonsense is taken as being on level ground with facts? DAMN YOU TITOR!

I absolutely love arguments based upon bifurcation.

There is absolutely NOTHING significant about 2012. It will come, and it will go, and as others have stated, you'll just construct a new "significant' date to maintain your beliefs. But nary a word will be said regarding how this so significant date could have passed so mundanely.

Keep grasping. I'm sure your claim will be that such great magnificent things occurred at this date, but those who did not observe these things simply weren't in tune enough to notice/appreciate them.

It's a wonderfully self-supporting religion you have going there.

sorry titor fans. no excuses anymore. the olympics have begun

But they haven't ended yet, im on the fence about titor, but i dont think you can completely disregard the claim until the Olympics are completed.

He said there would be no Olympic games after 2004, a cancellation would make the 2008 Olympics void.

I did not split this up into two different things.

When did I state that something significant will happen that day. It is an anchor point, the same anchor point when ancient civilization started. If you cant FEEL the world changing then you have blinded yourself, or are very young.

Keep grasping. I'm sure your claim will be that such great magnificent things occurred at this date, but those who did not observe these things simply weren't in tune enough to notice/appreciate them.

I have not ever placed any significance on any other date.

I dont believe in religion. I am a spiritualist. I do not have dogma I do though have precognitions when I dream. One day you may understand, but more than likely not in this lifetime.

Namaste

If this is the case then he was wrong 2 years ago. Or did he say the summer olympic games? because the winter olympic games were in turnin a couple years ago. still the olympics if you ask me.

I do not believe in the parallel universe theory some people are making as excuses, but i will give titor a chance until the olympics are over.

Will the 10 year old john titor in florida please stand up

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but... thru every media outlet ( books, movies tv ) ect. It has been said, that once you interfere in the events of a timeline. The timeline itself immediately changes. Titor even making the statement that there will be a war, and or the olympics won't happen would have changed the course completely. That.. or he's a damn loon.

'Tis a hoaxer, as are any that swear that have definative knowledge of 12/21/12, or 12/12/12 (seen stuff for both dates now). People can guess at Dec of 12, but imo, nothing is going to happen then, either. Just from the incredibly wide # of theories about what will happen in 2012, pretty much assures it's bunk. Of course, most of those theories are terrible disasters. I don't know what it is about our society, but they love a good disaster! Gotta be death, destruction, and widespread panic, or it's not a solid prediction at all.

Something is going to happen in 2012. Something that happens in many places of the universe on almost every single day. Not everyone notices those changes whilst some do just because they are in touch with an entirety of the cosmos, in contrast to only being in touch with what happens directly to our individual experience.

There is no argument about this, it's as being a baby compared to an adult. An adult will worry about his babies and about work and many things, whilst the baby does seldom worry about his parents or anything but food and sleep.


I don't know about John Titor, although I am fully aware of the reality of time travel and how time-lines can be different. I do find the OP to have approached the rest of us readers in a rude manner, but that's how babies are! (metaphorically speaking)


Peace, love and light

I am not one to subscribe to predictions based on prophets, time travel, astrology, or anything paranormal etc.
The only valid predictions that can be made are those based on fact of principle in logic. Such as I predict that when I release this hammer, it will fall, when it falls, it will land, if it lands on this pane of glass suspended between these two bricks, the glass will break, and so on.

Other types of predictions that came come true are the interpretive vague ones. They can be looked upon in retrospect as an insight into the future from the past. Nostradamus is a perfect example is this type. His quatrain poems of senseless babble can only be determined as predictions after an event takes place and some naive pawn trying to get a handle on the universe makes the leap that a certain verse relates to an event.

And there is the Omni prediction method, where as someone rambles on about what to expect on every topic of current concern, documents it all and then supplies the documentation after one of the comments made resembles the facts of an event, all hail the genius. Rush Limbaugh is an example of this method as he records his statements about a current issue, supplies several scenarios as possible outcome, then replays the one scenario that most resemble the true outcome and there you go, he’s the smartest MF on the planet.

Titor predictions are more hack non-sense, guess work with a spin about time travel. They are entertaining, just don’t give these people money, unless it is payment for making you laugh. (wasn’t Titor a member of the Jackson 5?)


Then again, war did break out in Georgia.

FFS - titor did not mention was in georgia / russia

Ok... I knew this was coming.

I'm skeptical in the real sense of the word. I don't believe or disbelieve Titor. However it is interesting that a war broke out on the date he predicted would be a major day, and would cause the cancellation of the Olympics.

Also interesting that two American Tourists (The indoor Volleyball Coaches parents) have been attacked, one dying. Enough bad things happen, like what has already happened, you can expect to see a cancellation.

My question to the O.P. What happens if the Olympics are canceled? Is Titor still a joke? A hoaxer? or is it more probable that their could be some truth to his story?

Folks need to remember one thing, Just because you do or don't agree with a statement or theory does not validate the theory in itself. Research as opposed to speculation; Normally this process will lead you to a more relevant answer.
