If slamming things is a hobby, you need to grow up

[Rant] ::sigh:: That's not true at all Admiral Patton. I'm pro-ST and one thing I have learned by participating in these debates is that SW obeys the laws of science FAR better than Star Trek.......and they don't even try, which makes it very frustrating. As you can see others have given you examples of how ST doesn't have more scientific support than SW. [/Rant]

Hey, did anyone notice that "Admiral Patton's" (uhhhh ... Patton was a general) post was mostly a classic form-troll post? Let's try replacing SW and ST with "capitalism" and "communism" just for kicks.

We have to recall there is hardly anything to compare. The Star Wars universe is pasted in a Galaxy "far, far away" and takes place a "long time ago."
We have to recall there is hardly anything to compare. Communism took place last century.
Clearly by the era of 2200+ AD Star Trek would come into existance, the Star Wars universe could be far more advanced than we know. If we are trying to compare how Star Wars is in its' time period to Star Trek for the sense of technological evaluation, as mature and non-biased individuals than that is fine. For all we know we may discover who actually has advantages over who.
Clearly by the 21st century, communism could be far more advanced than it was when we last saw it. If we are trying to compare communism and capitalism for the sake of social development, as mature and non-biased individuals then that is fine. For all we know we may discover who actually has advantages over who.
However, I see a lot of Star Wars biased here, true this is a SW forum, but at the Star Trek forums we do not seem to act with the contempt and immaturity displayed in some of the posts in the threads of this forum.

I respect those who are non biased and seem to have technological curiousity for the sake of curiosity, rather than bashing Star Trek with a Star Wars bias.
I respect those who are non biased and seem to have economic curiousity for the sake of curiosity, rather than bashing communism with a capitalist bias.
Yes, I know more about Star Trek than Star Wars, but I am not illiterate to the Star Wars univserse.

So tell, what is the peoples intent around here?

That was interesting, wasn't it? With minor tweaks, his troll-form post could be applied to virtually any subject of disagreement.

I stand by my statement. Any platform that cannot support my gaming habits and makes me wait longer for something to come out does by my definition suck. This is the reason I hate macs and GBA.
