Titor\'s country folk vs City Dwellers

What's the deal? Evolved in the ways of diversity, the first to speak against the nazi regime that has choked and killed this illegally aquired country-ie- City dwellers- we have to take on John Titor, the federal government and the country folk in a civil war, just to turn around and get blown up by russian nukes? I live in Los Angeles and have family in texas and mississippi. Ever been in a small American town? The fat. The paranoia. The shrugs shoulders, tilts head to the side, spits and says, "Well, if'n you aint doin' nothin wrong, why's you scared to have your car checked?" I believe John is from the future but the ideals and don't take crap attitude (regardless of opinion-I travel) can only be found in the cities of this land mass. John Titor was murdering for the Government.

Uh, after actually checking out the site I see it's about TT and not just JT. Perhaps I should have posted elsewhere or just waited until I sobered up and calmed down from a friendly debate with a friend. I'm only confused about the adamant claim by Titor that the start of the civil war was decided on clear lines between cities and country. It seems the Gov. takes on the cities, the small towners take on the cities and then nukes blow up the cities! If the US can't control a backward ass invasion of some little Iraqi city where the only weapons are old rifles and homemade expolosives, they aren't about to take on LA or New York, Chicago, Houston. For starters, that's literal brother against brother. Considering the amount of conversation I've had with soldiers who can not believe they've killed people for no reason in the middle east, I can't concieve of willingness to return to thier own hoods to police Mom and Dad. Not for the Gov. Not that the federals won't try. They are that out of touch. It's just that against what appears on tv, we are coming towards a new time of 'leave people alone and peace'. And that's only going to happen when country folk quit waving a meaningless flag and admit to themselves what those stars and stripes actually represent. That was the conversation I was having with a friend who thinks I'm crazy and now you see why I said this is not the place for this discussion. I responded back 'cause I felt bad for the cynical tone in the original post. Later:)

Well, you'll have that. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif Anyway, this is a time travel discussion forum, JT is a self-proclaimed time traveler, therefore, this forum is an appropriate place for your post.

You shouldn't feel bad for expressing your ideas.

I'm not really sure on that. My understanding was that the lines were not exactly that clear. It almost seems like it was government against militia - a civil uprising. JT claimed he was part of a shotgun brigade, yet he worked for the government. Does that seem strange to anyone else? I mean, you're either with 'em or against 'em (the government).

Guest comment:I have friends in the city and countryside.

I would greatly resent it, if this were an orchestrated ruse, in order to pit one social set against another.

This is why earlier I was a great proponent of immediate space exploration, as at this stage, we should be colonizing near space outpost, not fighting ourselves.

Anyone who would be in-back of such a supposed planned orchestration, would apparently be about as sick and perverted, as imaginable.

Some would argue that welfare is an orchestrated ruse to pit one social set against another. Unfortunately, as much as many of us resent it, elitism, racism, sexism (and all the other "-isms" you can think of) are a reality in our society.

I may be having a "moment." How would space exploration help?

This would give the oppertunity of tranplacing the population, without gennoside as being one of the particlars to do so.

This is what NASA and the government had promiced and I am holding them to this promice.
 
Re: Titor\'s country folk vs City Dwellers

So you would actually want people from earth to leave and go to some other planet. I don't think that would be a great idea. communications would slowly cease to exist and eventually we might not even regognize them as our own. But by then it would be too late. WE would both have the ship technology to go that far in space and who knows, space wars?

Been to your web site, dragons are sometimes very gentle and not a problem, don't know why you would call yourself that?
