I have to say no mainly because WW1 and any other war for that matter should be fought by people that want to be there. Imo, conscription is wrong. Forcing others to fight and risk their own lives in a war that they may or may not believe in is not democracy. It is unjust.

You use a lot of words, but say nothing :( ................ Perhaps, if your arrogance didn't blind you to the topic at hand, you would address the issue being discussed. :huh:

I disagree with that. ST.com is a joke to be quite blunt. I have been to many websites in my day and i have never seen such rude,despicable people as i have at ST.com.(don't get me wrong, there are nice people there also,but they are in the minority to say the least)

 

Define "rude" though. What one person considers rude may be perfectly acceptable to others.

 

For example, i have seen others get quite personal and vulgar in their attacks and have nothing done to discourage this behavior, meanwhile the victims of these attacks usually end up having their accounts "deactivated" Imo, very ghastly indeed.

 

My cousin posts on the official website. He has never mentioned any problems. Members on that site tend to have enormous post counts which suggests that account deactivation is not very common.

 

After about 8 years at ST.com i found this place and have forever left that site far behind. The people here are very cool and treat each other with respect,plus everyone has a good time. Without a doubt, my fave of all star trek websites.

 

"Treating each other with respect" could actually be a case rather of people posting things in order to please others. For example Member A says something. Member B is offended. So the next time Member A posts something, they dilute it in order to avoid offending someone else. But since offense is often in the eye of the beholder, it can have the effect of creating a "safe" and bland environment where no one is willing to post their honest opinions for fear of upsetting others, which I don't think is particularly constructive.

:Your arrogance is quite profound(no offense) but it comes out in your post. :P But, since you asked the question, Rude on ST.com would be when one person posts something and another rather blatantly calls that person vulgar names ( You don't fool me, even you should know what rude is).I have seen it done many times. I also had a high post count,much like your "cousin".Its not about quantity, its about quality :P Anyways, a great many members there at ST.com have junk posts in the 10F section of the msg boards where anything but Star Trek is discussed. So really, your equating high posts with a low deactivation rate is mere speculation, hardly the domain of a "undiluted" person as yourself,right? :huh:

Your rather tepid argument that creating a "safe" environment is not "constructive" is hardly appropriate in this context. If you do not like the respect shown here, then perhaps you should go where you "feel" you can give an "honest " opinion. The only problem you'll have with that is at least here you will be afforded respect whereas at ST.com, you will be chewed up and spit out. Was that an honest enough answer for you? I hope so. I wouldn't want to take away from your perceived "creativity" here. :P :VBGal2:

A great ep! I loved how Worf would not give into that Jem'Hadar. This is where DS9 started to get real good imo. :P

Fairly well executed ep. It makes you think about what is real? and the consequences of making a decision.

A great ep. Garak at his most dangerous . I loved the spooky feel of this ep and how Garak took an evil turn in this one. :P

Great ep. Seeing Sisko,O'Brien and Odo as Klingons is worth repeat viewings. :P

A good ep. I thought that Sisko's desire to retain the ship no matter the cost was admirable.

An average ep.

I am happy with my laptop. For me it is much more convenient.

Butter. Never cared much for margarine.

Space would be a cool place to live.

My fave is maroon.

Yes, I do.

Edison is my choice :P

No facial hair here.

I 've tried it. I could not stand it. :P

Either one as long as their good.

Summer. :P

I like him as a crazy prankster :P

I prefer Charlie and the Chocolate factory.

Yeah. I think you're right.It has been awhile for me. I do know this though, sushi is awful. :P

It's a good site. It simply gives you nowhere to hide if you can't defend your posts. Which sounds reasonable to me.

I agree with you. How about squid though? :P

Agreed. She is only looking for a way out and to get her grubby hands on his money. Perhaps, she should try finding a job, and by that i don't mean staying at home and "raising" their already screwed up kids. She failed at that. Keep us posted. This should turn out to be interesting. :P
