Yes, that's true. After the war is over, he goes on Earth where I guess Keiko will have no trouble finding a job at her convenience.
What good's their time apart? You can't make love on the telephone. And when she comes back, she'll be sweet for a day ... maybe two, or three. Then ... it's right back to her being a cow! See ... O'Brien just likes to keep the peace. He doesn't want any problems, no stressors involved, or anything. Keiko knows this, which she uses against him, as a control thing.
Personally, I think she expects him to challenge her. She's even started "fights" with him, in public, like on The Promenade. I remember when they first moved onto DS9, she gave him such shit. He just needed to be firm with her, but he wouldn't do it, because he's a big softy, at heart. And it's all there ... you know? It's all onscreen. Every last bit of it ...

What would she do on Earth, where Botany and horticulture would have been licked for several centuries now, especially after all those years in the Bajoran Sector and her years aboard the Enterprise??
I bet she'll get bored, and Keiko would start a fight right there in front of the building where Miles' office is at the Academy.
And I'd think the Jem Hadar made ideal drones. They were bred not to have any individual desires of their own, to serve the group, above all, were large with dense musculature.

No one ever gets punished for violating the Prime Directive anyway. When Janeway remembered this, she restored Tom's rank.
Divorce?
At least she thinks it's worse to sleep with aliens than to try to destroy their factories.
Exactly, & I never cared for the slide away from tech absorption myself. One would think they'd almost have to survive that way. I can see why they went for the meatier assimilation thing too, but the advancements of a species would be one of the advantages as well
it's not said: cultural advancement is not linear. In fact, I wouldn'd speak in such terms.
18th century people considered themselves as civil as we do about us. You may thing they were wrong, but they could thing the same of us.
A culture can be racism or ethnicist in many ways, and it's not said it would be in a bad way.
For eample a culture could blame Europeans for stealing native americans their land, or admire them for the power Europeans reached, of finds silly the idea, the claim different ethnicity and culture can live in the same country.
Exactly, what if the Borg flooded the Great Link with millions of nanites? What would be the result?
You're suggesting we aren't?
Yes. They'd be mortified by many things about us, for both right and wrong reasons.
In Scorpion, Pt 2, Janeway, Tuvok, Seven of Nine and several other Borg were beamed over to Cargo Bay 2 on Voyager right before the Borg cube is destroyed by its collision with the Species 8472 ship. Tuvok immediately called for assistance, and Chakotay wasted no time getting down there with security. When they got there, there was already a row of regeneration alcoves in place, along with a Borg computer console and some other Borg stuff.
What I've wondered is if they constructed all that stuff that quickly through assimilation, as they did to the Enterprise E in First Contact, or did they simply beam over the stuff they needed from the cube?

I think it's reasonable to assume that they beamed over everything they needed, knowing that their ship was doomed anyway.
Since Humans refer to both their planet and its soil as "earth", do other species do the same?
I don't think other species refer to their planet and its soil as "earth." Well, maybe the Omegans.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I mean, do Vulcans call their planet's soil "vulcan" too, for instance?
It depends on the etymology of their word for their planet, and the word for their people. What does the word "Vulcan" originally mean?
It may be unique to humans that they use a word for dirt or soil, basically the ground beneath our feet, as the name of the entire planet (this is common in languages other than English, as well).
People from a planet whose surface is covered entirely by water probably wouldn't call their planet by the equivalent of "soil."

But they might refer to themselves as whatever their planet consists mostly of. It's a question of nomenclature and etymology.
