Oh good, I wasn't the only one that noticed that. I always wondered why we can have TV with murdering and killing as the order of the day while people are busy with a form of 'love' (like making it) and everything is in an uproar.
I blame the church for trolling at people making people and promoting wars as a way to spread faith.
When someone tells you the opposite, you stick your fingers in your ears and pretend not to listen. When facts are thrown in front of you, you close your eyes. Any religious fanatic would be proud.
However if you claim to be right and that is what you are doing now, the following term comes to mind: 'Citation needed'. With other words, back your story with science. Read papers, documents, articles. Don't go to some pseudo-scientific website full of video's with "Don't trust them!" or other scare tactic type of name. I don't like video's since anyone can manipulate that. Science papers that are reviewed by real institutions and universeties are less likely to be falsified and thus more trustworthy.
Don't go trolling by claiming you are right and the rest is wrong while backing it up with more foggy fabrications. Prove it!
It's amazing the most brilliant minds of the Earth compared the colonisation of the 'New World' with another 'planet' in a fashion of: "Yeah we did it before so we can do it again!"
I'm curious what they at NASA think the Martian indians do look like.
HAARP anyone?
Well I don't think it's a scam since there is quite enough solid proof to back it up.
And the sky is associated with lot's of superstition. I only see visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere, that we call clouds and the blue from Rayleigh scattering as an added bonus commuter airtraffic and when it's dark a passing satelite/spacestation or a nearby comet. I love the sky scientifically.
If it was to prevent only crimes then yes it's a good thing, but if everything is linked to you as a person... I don't know, thats how it started in the end of the 1930's aswell.
And while the government probably has the best privacy and good oversight, it's people who leak data or hack the database. Nothing is 100% trustworthy. And locking you up in a invisible cage to prevent 'terrorism' and the sorts aren't helping either.
Yes and that is what Gene Roddenberry intended. But with that backstory in mind it mostly turned out Humans aided by aliens versus other aliens. Count out the numerous alien foe's against human mishaps. Dominion, Borg, Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi etc. Some aided the federation but politically, they were at war in some point in time. With the human imprint of 'good' as a mindset to make the Federation the good party.
Frankly IIRC, only the Klingon empire vs Federation got resolved and are at peace after, chronologically speaking, TOS. It's my favorite series let me make that clear but to say it's only about exploration... naah I don't really believe that.
I remember Tom swallowing dynamite and bowlingballs.
Do I love the classical cartoons that are funny and not pouring with political correct utopian ideas. I loved them as a kid and I'm still not a mass murderer. It must be magic.
I think Mr. Benedict stayed in the 70's for some reason. Times change and culture comes with it. For example feminism brought far more productivity in most companies.
I think that when one has good information (backed up with valid sources) I see no reason why it should be reverted, even if you are new to Wikipedia or not. And I see lots of work for the individual languages. I think a lots of pages could be translated (I spend my retirement in translating Wikipedia).
That reminds me about that clip of people trown back into the jungle. Or atleast places with the most primitive tribes on earth to live with them for a couple of days.
These 'western' people whine about everything from the 'bad' hygene of the huts they had to sleep in to the slaughter of a cow for food ("You can't do that! it's wrong to let that cow die like that!"). They rather die of starvation than stop whining. IIRC one even dared to exclaim that it's just weird these tribes didn't have cars.
I'm always afraid the realityTV, mass consumerism culture breaks down society that much that we go into new dark ages not before long.
Race isn't bound to culture. Neither is culture bound to race.
Not forgetting the 1940's but I must admit that today the term 'racist' is used to keep minority populations in more developed countries happy. I hate politicalcorrectness because it often not a reflection of reality. It always ignores certain inconvenient truths.

Cool! This bickering is like watching the real British Parliament.
I'm a bit startled about these new decepticon warriors. Megatrons own survailance crew!

An sci-fi example of something really done well: Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Do your kids enjoy the 70's objectifaction of woman aswell (70's Starbuck)?
Humans vs Aliens? You mean what Star Trek is all about? (Granted, it's actually Aliens vs Humans with the help of Aliens).

This is a nice addition but I really can't wait for Caprica the series comming out in 2010. The pilot was great IMHO!
This planet perhaps just came into existence and just didn't know. Just another newbie that didn't read the FAQ.

We need more of this. Most epic analogy I've ever read! Were can I subscribe to your church?
