Worf doesn't inspire any fear. His Klingon attitude is clichéd and frankly a little ridiculous. I wouldn't take any bullshit from that lumbering Klingon oaf (thanks for that one, Quark).
It's hard to understand why warriors like Worf do what they do. A lot of people think they are just a big oaf. They're not that much different than you and I...they fight for their country and family; they fight for what they believe in... Really, everything you do is really for selfish reason, not a lot of people admit that...we just go about it in different ways. Some people find helping others makes them feel better and very satisfying, and a selfabsorbed or egomanic person might fine focusing on their career is more satisfiying than spending time with their wife or husband and children, or boyfriend or girlfriend.
My grandfather was a lot like Worf and if you ask anyone that knew him, they would all tell you he was a very generous person, who loved helping others. He spent a fortune helping his family and helping people that got no where to go.
Some guy was being a jerk a to my mother when she was a teenager...he kept on making unwanted sexual advance towards her after she told him to stop. My grandfather was furious and went after him and beat the crap out of him...at one point my grandma and aunt had to call the police to hold him back because I think he would have killed the guy.
I think it's hard for a lot of people to relate to Worf if they haven't experience rage like the way Klingons feel. I know that look in his eyes. He is a great warrior!

In the ancient Muay Chaiya gladiatorial combat where each fighter from different institution fought, trying to prove the invincibility of their boxing camp, they would have broken your arms and legs clean in half with their joint breaking move, which is illegal in today MMA matches. The winners are the one that are still alive! There were only two rules to keep the fight as long as possible: no eye gougning and no groin shot. One famous fighter fought against some other fighter who knew he couldn't beat him after getting into the ring. He proceeded to ripping out his opponent's eye right out of the socket. But the other guy was so determine to win and was so pissed, he kept on fighting and beat the crap out of the guy who pulled out his eye into a pulp. Later, the guy that got his eye gouged out died in is sleep... Cause of death: he was bleeding inside his head caused by the injury.
There have been known cases where Thai soldiers fought til the very last breath and wouldn't allow themselves to be taken captive by the Burmese. No matter what the Burmese did they couldn't restrain them and just kept on killing the Burmese soldiers...no one dared to get close...and they had no choice but to shoot them with rifles.
There have been a similar case in the U.S.. A hitman was finally tracked down by the police and they came to make an arrest...to take him down to the princinct to be interrogated and booked. The only problem was going to give up that easily. The police tased him, but they still couldn't restrained him, so they had no choice but to shoot him. The surgeons at the hospital spent hours trying to save his life. He confessed that he once tied a person to a chair in the sewer and watch the rat ate the guy alive while he was laughing and mocking the man like he was watching a TV show. He once pulled up to car on his motorcycle and took out his shotgun and blew the gang leader's head right off in the assination he was paid to do. I think they called him Ice Man.

Everybody had their believes that they were willing to fight and die for in the beginning... But once they were on the battlefields and saw people getting killed, which died in horrible ways, they started to think about their family and wished they could go home.
You know it's like...when you were out in the ocean on a ship...exploring, you thought about your family and wished you were at home, and when you were at home, you wished you were out there...

So do the Cardassians, my people of choice. But they do it in style.
I don't like Worf because he's horribly bigoted and uptight and thinks everyone wants to hear his opinion, which they usually don't, not to mention live by them. And that annoys me. Even the stick up his arse has a stick up its arse. If he managed to lighten up a little, he wouldn't be this insufferable.
Also, he smells funny, according to everyone. (okay, not to be taken seriously)
To be honest, I could say the same about Cardassians
-Bigoted? Oh ho, yes they are
-Thinks everyone wants to hear their opinion? I've barely seen a race more ready to enter a monologue profusing the merits of their philosophy than some Cardassians that we're very familiar with.
-Lighten up? OK, I'll give you that, Worf needs to lighten up, but then again, other Klingons seem to think that too.
Not sure what you mean about style either...but I'm sure you can elaborate.
While not first on the list, I've always like Worf declaring that: "[He] would require a Klingon woman for... companionship. Earth females are too fragile."
And Guinan quickly and rightfully calls him a coward.

That is oppositional propaganda.
And the "Cardies" do everything in style. The Klingons...well, headbutt and shout and are generally distasteful.
They did not win the war, mkay? And they wouldn't have. And I don't like them. Leave me alone.

I don't think you're underestimating the Klingons...a lot of people who don't understand people like tends to think that way. They are very proud and very strong people, and can be very forceful. They can think both sides of the coin, no doubt about it. Sometimes, they are a lot smarter than most people. That's when you'd end up at the sharp end of their swords when you underestimate them. In fact people like this who are very strongly opinionated are very hard to fool, they don't easily blindly follow someone.
I just have to point out for the record that about half the time we see the Klingons, they are blindly following someone.
K'mpec was apparently a good Leader (Chancellor) of the High Council, but both guys who were in line to replace him turned out to be bad choices. Duras was according to their own laws a traitor and was killed as such. Gowron, while the lesser of two evils, eventually became too blatantly power-hungry and didn't have the best interests of the Klingon Empire at heart.
Well, Klingons are very complicated. They're not going to do something, like challenging their commander or chancellor, unless they are certain they are incompitant beyond reasonable doubt. They need to be sure that what they are doing is the right thing. I mean every leader has their flaws... If you look at it that way, then all of them probably wouldn't last a week into their term.
On DS9 you see Jazia manipulating Worf and encouraging him to kill Gowron...and Worf believed her. He finally killed Gowron in the end. Gowron was one hell of leader in his own rights. He didn't give a crap what other people thought and was ruthless. In many ways he was even braver than Martok. Gowron came close to killing Worf, even... He stood alone surrounded by enemies, outnumbered, when he first became the chancellor of the Klingon Empire.

Actually they don't seem all that complicated to me. They're all aarrrgh, honourrrrrrrrr! You said something about my mum? My honourrrrrrr demands that I kill you! Honourrrrrr makes me butt heads with random people in bars.
I respect your love for the Klingons, but I don't like them. The only Klingons I liked were the ones from TOS.
Then again, there are people who dislike Cardassians, if you can believe it.

I'd have to agree with that somewhat. I think it was Sfdebris who said the Klingons started out in TOS as a culture with great warriors, to a warrior culture to basically Orks with phasers (paraphrasing all that).Actually they don't seem all that complicated to me.

If you see Klingons now, half the time you're wondering how they even made it into space.
Judging by part of Klingon history, would be quite likely it wasn't a native scientific effort, most likely outside influence by the Hurq (a race that tried to conquer the Klingons in ancient history). In fact, quite a few strategy game guides that introduced the races make the guess that the Klingons just nabbed the first ship that landed and went from there.
If you look at native American cultures, they are very resourceful cultures. The Mayans had calendar system that was more accurate than the Europeans and they were resourceful enough to cultivate corns to feed the people; any resourceful culture is great cook. The Roman baked bread; the Mayans grew corns and the Inca grew potatoes;Thai people were the first people to cultivate rice. England food before the industrial revolution were actually really good and one of the most sought after in Europe. And one thing they had in common is: they are very good warriors.
The Apache tribes of the Southwestern United States were probably the most difficult people to subdued, according to the United States Army, because they were very resourceful people and great warriors...one of the best in the world. The Indians of the American Southwest are related to the Indians in Mexico and Central America such as the Aztec and Mayans; they all were probably the most clever group of Indians.
