Yeah, those bible-humping Americans invented the concept of Eden after all.

That isn't what I'm saying.

Side note, one the Graves says 'A. Rivera', one of the lead Devs on Star Trek Online is named 'Al Rivera'. More than likely a coincidence, but a funny one.

God, this reminded me all over again how mad I am about how white bread those names are. Other than a handful of Spanish names and one Vietnamese guy, they're all super Anglo. Way white bread for even 21st century America, let alone 23rd century humanity. Where are the names like Goldstien, Andersen, Schmidt, Collins, Bianchi, etc - all are perfectly common in North America? To say nothing for names from South Asia, Africa, etc.

Abusing a term is not the same thing as having invented it, in fact, it's quite different.

[Discofan]

Ditto.

 

[fireproof78]

Ditto.

I see your non sequitur and raise you another...

I never said they invented it.

The person I quoted did. (communication is the hardest thing of all)

 

[fireproof78]

Well, so far this hasn't made a whole lot of sense.

 

[Tuskin38]

Shit

 

[Discofan]

Shit

Should I report you?

 

[fireproof78]

Should I report you?

For what? O_o

What is this going on about?

 

[Lord Garth]

Even though I'm not a mod, I don't think they'll mind if I say: Can we please not have this here?

Thanks.

Why is it that when I address one of you, it's another one that responds?

 

[fireproof78]

We are of one mind.

Anyway...

Young Spock's attitude toward Michael is not only incomprehensible it's not very coherent with what we otherwise know of Spock.

Thanks.

Sure...if someone explains to me what the heck happened here?

I legitimately do not know and the picture I posted was to reflect that because it felt like a non-sequitur. Thus far, no one has felt inclined to explain so I remain forever confused...well, more so than usual.

That he was a petulant child prone to fighting?

 

[fireproof78]

That he was a petulant child prone to fighting?

Doesn't sound like Spock at all...

oh wait.

 

[Discofan]

That he was a petulant child prone to fighting?

...against kids who called his mother "a whore"... I wouldn't call that "prone" to fight. Who wouldn't fight under these conditions?
