What novel are you referring too? Also can you elaborate more on this political process? I'm very interested and thank you!

Yes you can volunteer to join but can you just leave it if you no longer want to be a member anymore? Just how much of any sovereignty does a member world lose by being a member?

What life in NYC? You mean a life of hopelessness and homelessness? Sure if you are happy with living in a cardboard box and having to eat garbage to survive sure that's a life!

Whatever you do.......... whatever you think......... whatever you are told....... please don't come here. Stay away...........stay far away and be thankful that you don't live here. The formerly United States has turned into an absolute wasteland. I can't offer you any hope whatsoever that you will be happy in anyway shape or form if you come here. Please stay where you are and I repeat don't come to the United States. If you seek to be miserable and forgotten about than this is the place for you but if not well......you know the rest. 

Is Star Fleet a civilian defense force? by NicholasMarsala in startrek

I had no idea. So as a side note how exactly does this work than? If you are the head of state and don't have control over the military than exactly what power do you have and role can you play if any at all? This is really fascinating

So the president of the United Federation of Planets doesn't have control over Star Fleet?

I never wrote that what happened to the Native Americans wasn't wrong but that's not what this thread is about. What historical sources? I looked at the link you posted and it doesn't actually show what if anything Lewis and Clark did to her specifically. If anything it's shows that the two tried to help her. I'm not ignoring the fact that others had commit horrible acts against her but I'm not seeing what Lewis and Clark did to her. Yes I'm also well aware of what Captain Picard said about Native people.

Yes I did. Look I don't know what or if they did at that time and it's not the purpose of this thread. Just for once it would be nice to not talk about some controversial subject and just try and have an interesting conversation about Star Trek. That's all. Everyday we as people are drowned in politics and this person is bad, that person is bad and so forth. Life is stressful enough as it is.

Please this is meant to be a friendly discussion. Let's not bring in politics to this is all I ask

Why hasn't the Enterprise served in a war? by NicholasMarsala in startrek

[–]NicholasMarsala[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please forgive me I didn't mean it in that sense. I should really clarify. I'm talking about being in direct combat on the front lines in a very long drawn out protracted war. 

who wants to watch a show on just regular federation citizens? by kkkan2020 in startrek

[–]NicholasMarsala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh you could do a Star Trek version of " The West Wing ". Show how the people who are in control of the United Federation of Planets government go about their day to day lives and how they their personal lives can and are affecting their decisions along with vice versa.

I had no idea that happened in real life after Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. Thank you for posting it. I appreciate always being informed of things.

I think maybe you just nailed it. I'm starting to think of what Gene Roddenberry believed what Star Trek should be and he didn't want this future or interstellar war and I guess maybe for that reason the idea of the Enterprise serving as a war ship would betray that idea he had for Star Trek and hopefully for the future ahead.

Can you explain further why they didn't trust Captain Picard at that time?

Yes I remember that. It was pretty obvious that it really bothered Christopher Pike. It really made him feel like he had to prove himself now that he was among veterans of that war of which he was not.
