Something I have just realized about the Bajorans

Not open for further replies.
I wonder if certain fans also hate being reminded about what was done to the Jewish people 60-ish years ago and call Holocaust remembers "whiners?" Or hearing about what was done to the Native Americans, or the Israelis to the Palestinians, or... or...

Being "reminded" and educated about something is a billion times different than listening to the whining and complaining rants of a race or individual.

And there are personal stories from my history (and I'm sure others) that can easily back this up. Yes, bad things happened. Yes, we DEFINITELY need to be reminded of that so that hopefully, it will not happen ever again. But there are ways of dealing with this that that can make for good drama, or there are ways of dealing with this that remind me of the Bajorans.

Of course, everybody's threshold for annoyance is different. :)
And what exactly is the difference?

How does one exactly "whine" about an awful, ruthless, cruel 60-year long occupation of one's country?

How did they exactly "whine"? Could you provide an example?
 
I loved the Bajoran stories, that's what made DS9 so special, not the dominion.
am i late to the party?? haha. i'm just now watching DS9 for the first time and am absolutely loving it. i just noticed the Bejoran clap for the first time and that's how i ended up on this page. its the little things
