assistant: Fellow Senators...
Emperor Shultz has been absent for far too long.  The state of the echo is
in disarray.  We have a new enemy.  A Federation from a distant galaxy has
colonized several worlds in the Atrivis Sector.  This Federation poses a
threat to every thing we stand for.  We must purge this scourge from the face
of the galaxy.  How can this be accomplished when we cannot bring order to
our own echo?  Star Wars fans bash Star Wars fans in one of the only
safehavens we have left.  Therefore, if Emperor Shultz is not back by July
1,
I say we start nominations for an election of a new Emperor.  We must bring
order where there is chaos and there is plenty of chaos to go around in this
echo.
                                        Sincerely,
                                        Senator Howell

Write your reply.

assistant: The reason I have to argue if you "Wars" fans is becuase you guys are the
arrogant and deceived ones.  For crying out loud, have you read some of the
respones to me post?  They're pethetic.  My parents, actually have taught me
well.  They HAVE taught me respect.  I'm not being disrespectful.  But one
thing that they have taught me is to not let the deceived follow the wrong
path.  There are some things that I will tolerate and accept; and ther
aren't.  And Star Wars definetly is one of them.  Star Wars is so off base
especially compared to Star Trek.  It's like buying a Ford over a Mercedes
even if the Mercedes ran better; just because, "I like to buy American".
That's asinien.  Again, try taking to log out of your own eye and see Star
Trek for what it really is.  A good quality TV show with scientific
background and awesome story, character and plot.  Star Wars does not.
God Loves you.

No, I'm in the right area.  I'm being a true Star Trek fan/pro that is trying
to make you arrogant people see some good sci-fi.  How, can you say that I'm
not the smartest in the way's of the world.  Hey, I'm not the Star Wars fan
here.  Finally, again, in true Star Wars fashion, you have to repeat yourself
because you have nothing better to say.
Every post you guys send just sets yourself up for a fall.  Just forget Star
Wars and come to Star Trek.  Also, like a lot of the other messages I've
received, you don't have any good comeback, because Star Wars doesn't give
you one, so you resort to bad-aim insults.  At least try to aim for me.  Your
missing hitting the thing you're trying to protect, Star Wars.
I'd just like to see you guys come onto the DS9 post or Voyager.  You'd get
creamed.
I am enjoying this, really.  I hope you guys are having as much fun as I'm
having.

Write your reply.

assistant: Actually, I miss quoted Star Trek.  They use lasers for target PRACTCE!!!
Reference to TNG episode #47: "Peak Performance".  No matter if they're quad
or espresso, they still are LASERS. Every ship in the federation can stand up
to lasers.
It can fire six at a time, (even when only one would destroy an X-wing), and
it has two torpedo launchers.  Remember, too.  Torpedo's aren't their only
line of defense, they have, as I said, phasers, the deflector shield, good
shields, plasma vents from the warp nacelle bussards, starship seperation,
about two hundred other ships in the federation, quantum torpedo's, AND an
aliance with the Klingons.  Would you like me to go on about the Klingons
now?  Nah, I'll let you soak that up and TRY to come up with a resonse.
It all comes to this though.  Lasers are just strong beams of light.  Phasers
are:  PHASed Energy Rctification.  A directed ENERGY, not light, used by
Starfleet.  Laser means:  LIGHT Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of
Radiation.  Lasers were on starships about 150 years ago.  They've since
ADVANCED to better more EFFICIENT equipment.
Maybe you should home up on your Star Wars info before taking me and all of
Star Trek on.  It's a losing battle.
Worf:  Captain, we're detecting a small blip on the sensors.  Shall I scan
the area?
Captain:  Yes, mister Worf.  Let's make sure it's not the darn Maquis agai...
(Slight rumble)...mister Worf?
Worf:  I can't pick up anything.  I believe that a small oblect has jsut
disintergrated on our deflector shield.  There was no damage.  It must had
been a small piece of a nearby asteroid.
Captain:  Ahhh, continue scan the asteroid field. That's not even worth
noting in ourlog.
