Point is, politically correct or not, 1968 or 2008...is it any less true either way?

Since you're a teacher, then, I hope you view it as an opportunity to educate them on the classics of American cinema, rather than a reason to piss and moan about the stupidity of our nation's children.I have to disagree. I teach 10th grade History, and I am utterly amazed at how history has no bearing in this current generation. If I were to use "rosebud" in a quote or, "STELLLA!!", they would look at me with lost expression. But the few times I have done Khan over the years, they kids no immediatly it is Kirk...
Personally I hope you both learn proper use of the English language prior to criticizing or teaching. When you are typing, the misspelled words are underlined in red. That is your first clue.Fine, it's a measure of cultural ignorance, then. But it still stands that I hope RobertScorpio is seizing the opportunity rather than whinging about it on a messageboard.If you are still not sure, may I suggest using the EDIT features?
I used bold to highlight your improper wording.
Even though this isn't an original line I liked the way it was said.

My friend and I love to quote lines from movies, and then guess where they came from. What are some of TREK's greatest quotes? I actually believe TREK has the most famous ONE WORD movie quote of all time..you guessed it..
KAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHN!!!
But there are famous quotes from TREK we Trek fans could recount, and I don't just mean BEAM ME UP or LIVE LONG AND PROSPER...what are some of your quotes from STAR TREK(s) past?
Mathew Weer lives!!!
My favorites, which I'm surprised haven't shown up already come from DS9: In the Pale Moonlight.
People are dying out there, every day. Entire worlds are struggling for their freedom. And here I am still worrying about the finer points of morality

That's why you came to me, isn't it Captain? Because you knew I could do those things that you weren't capable of doing. Well, it worked. And you'll get what you wanted: a war between the Romulans and the Dominion. And if your conscience is bothering you, you should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant, and all it cost was the life of one Romulan senator, one criminal... and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but I'd call that a bargain
