And I've had enough of the old "Star Wars lasers aren't really lasers" mantra. First, they are lasers, that's why they call them lasers.
Laughable.

I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.

Darkstar should watch more star wars and carefully observe how the "lasers" behave. Not that it's hard...

Yeah, it's like saying that because we call our homeworld Erath, it therefore has no water on it.
Just remember, it's a race between the engineers trying to make something foolproof and the universe making better fools. So far the universe is winning.

"They're lasers because they have 'laser' in the name" seems to be about the only reason trekkies can come up with. I propose that, every time somebody tries to convince people of that, we tell him "Yeah, and Phaser Rifles shoot spinning metal slugs because 'rifles' is in their name"

Eh...seems like a guy just screwing around playing with thought experiments. He didn't throw out any calculations. I wouldn't say he's stupid so much as he just doesn't take it very seriously.

Bah, just another one coming. I doubt he has even the slightest inkling how powerful Trek or Wars is. He just decided he liked Trek more, look up so old ass ASVS arguments and posted them on his website. Still he could use a crash course in "lasers"......
I think that these people must reproduce in some sort of strange large scale version of cell division....because damn....there is no way they are ever getting laid....

No, thats where Adarx and co came from. This scmuck came from Dorkstar's cloning facility. Lets just hope he doesn't figure out how to breed.

Well humanity likes to call most energy weapons or continuously beams of
whatever a ???-laser. Even if the weapon/tool has little common with a
real laser. water laser , sound laser , electro laser are good examples.
for the laseres argument ask the trektards them why is the stuff in pencils called lead when its actually a graphite-clay mixture

Another problem, the Enterprise's lasers could very well have the same firepower as a turbo laser. As Ben is so fond of pointing out, the Viper in Battlestar Galactica is armed with Turbolasers. The technology, and what we can do with it, differs within reason in each universe.

Some people are just total retards.
The best we can do is ignore them.
Captain Tycho! The worst fucker ever!

you can ignore one but you can not ingore 2 and above.
It's hard, but not impossible to ignore upwards of 50 or more retards.
Just grab a gun, lock and load, grab some beer, and BAM!
50 dead retards.
And a warm, fuzzy feeling in your gut before the coppers get ya.

Since we're bringing the prequil into account, why not bring the Phantom Menace into this. The Trade Federation droid ships were pretty much a non issue. While they're conceivably a match for the 22nd century Enterprise, the 23rd-24th century Enterprises wouldn't have a problem with them, and noone seems to care enough to argue. Queen Amidala's ship was unarmed, and their best advantage was speed. And the Republic Cruiser was blown to shrapnel in the first fifteen minutes. That's pretty much the only ships we saw in The Phantom Menace. Again, we'll have to wait for the rest of the trilogy to compare grounds.

The TF core ship can sit happily on the surface of a star, withstand indefinite broadsides from an Acclamator and this cunt thinks picard's cruise liner has a hope in hell?

It's really surprising that the page is readable. I expected much more spelling errors. I figured his fingers would be slipping from all the jizz on the keyboard from his little wankfest.
