ST/SW college essay

Post by thecreech »

just found it searching around, though some of you might like to read it. He sure does like the phrase "they're different but similar in a lot of ways"

Bah, doesn't discuss technical, which is all that matters. Less then 1000 words.

He forgot to mention that Star Wars characters cloak themselves in leotards and vests when on dangerous missions....

Few quotes lets you know this guy is not from SB or SD.net
All in all Star Wars has stunning fictional technology which really creates the right atmosphere for the dialogue. Star Trek, however, seems to have a more realistic approach to technology
Star Trek has pathetic tasers which look like garage door openers, but can be set to stun to preserve life instead of vaporizing it
Star Trek’s technology resembles the most likely future of technology, which adds to the realism of Star Trek.
. Star Wars tends to have very primitive alien life, for example the wookies and ewoks
Droids are very human in emotions and in appearance. Star Trek’s leaders are over-acheiving pioneers who are middle aged, highly experienced, and unwilling to compromise a mission based on their emotions.
The leaders are headstrong rebels who are very young, inexperienced, and emotional. Star Wars seems to appeal to a younger crowd.

A college paper! Bean, I hate to think that this dribble passes for a college paper but then again, I shouldn't cast the first stone as I wrote a paper on NWA's "Straight out of Compton". :)

seeing that I have written many college papers myself, I can't belive anyone would be dumb enough to actually buy all that shit about ST.

I would if I am in good mood give it a D, a F is more likely as my HS english teacher, yes that Shithead give me that exact same load of crap about his "moral superiorty" and other crap :evil:

I like the quote on middle-age ST people, my shithead english teacher used that part of his age to bitch his head off about how horrible his life is and how is alway going to be ticked off.

mr. beam sorry about that off comment rant on english teacher, but that arrogant nitwit was responsiblie for greatly lowering my GPA during my HS senior year so I still held a grudge toward his kind, it periodily appears.

That essay sucked. To think that someone was going to turn that in for college credit is ludicrous. He must not be going to any college I would respect.

I hope that his teacher is a warsie. And that he/she reads it aloud to the class pointing out he flaws and stupidity in that essay.

But seriuosly I could write a better essay than that drunk.(and I have) :lol:

Did he even watch Star Trek? That's their impetus for doing damn near anything on those shows!

This is nonsense, other than data,(and lore) and then only on three occasions, when have we seen Trek droids having emotions
