I was browsing and i found that
http://www.johntitor.com/
I only read a bit because i'm pretty busy but apperently some people think he's serious. I think the time travel stuff is a hoax but have you heard of him and read what he said? I'll read more next time once all the exams are over

It's interesting... But vauge in the horoscope/astrology/palm reading way. UNIX stops working beacause of a "registry" error? People will belive anything if it's presented right. Hell, I can't count the number of people I've convinced that pigs ate my little brother when I was five. Hook, line , and sinker.

He's probbably a very intelligent, very bored induvidual who put a great deal of time, planning and implimenting a clever hoax.

If he is for real, we'll find out this year.

I also thinks it's a hoax (i hope so) but i'll build an anti atomic bunker in my garden :)
I think this is the best hoax ever done, i mean the guy seems pretty smart and he's saying some true things even if he's no time travellers

perhaps it's a whole group of people setting it up. that's why they have so much time and knowledge

I cannot imagine anyone having his life experience and chatting in a forum some 30 years prior like that.

He says some heavy hitting gems that really sink in, however he does not have the emotion, caution or reactiveness of someone who has just survived a civil and world war.

Sounds too much like a "social" forum bomber rather than a "mail bomber."

Though I didn't hear the rhetoric, however, I would expect from that type of person either??? Strange, I guess will know in a year.

I thought about it and i think he's just a guy trying to pass a message and he chose the time travel to get some attention
I don't think there will be a civil war in the us nor a nuclear attack
I mean if half the population is killed that means that not only the usa is attacked but also all europe, all china and all india and a part of africa!!!! I don't see how a civil war would start in the usa(unless gore wants to take his revenge on bush).
However even if his story about time travel is bs, he scores some points, imo. Like to be more open get closer together, learn about each other,... Anyway the guy is pretty smart IMO, and he has done a great hoax

Exactly what I thought the second I saw his "time travel car" pictures, hell, it isn't even a Delorean.
