“That last line (which you’ve misused twice now) nicely mirrors your own views. That is a viewpoint that Kirk later leaves firmly behind him – if only you would follow his example.”

Oh… if only I would quit being who I am and be what you want me to be?

Where have we heard that before?

Hi Robohunter. Whoever defined the modern interpretation of the word “bigotry”, I simply do not accept it. I will think whatever I feel is right in my heart, about anything, and I don’t need a bunch of “tolerant” people to tell me otherwise. People who accept everything without thinking about it in their heart and conscience have no ground to stand on, just because they’re afraid to stand up and to go against so-called “enlightened” opinions. I respect people’s opinions, but I hate it when it crammed down my throat from every single facet of the media. You’re right, this is a Star Trek site, so why can’t there be articles only about Star Trek, so we can avoid these confrontations based on self-guided morality. How about it, whoever runs this message board? Can we just discuss STAR TREK from now on and avoid all this lambasting of each other, talk about ships and characters, and not talk about what actors decide to do in their personal lives? There’s the key: PERSONAL. If you don’t want to post warnings about commenting against something that is going to encourage that sort of thing, don’t create the board where you know that’s going to happen in the first place. It’s called wisdom and common sense.

Believe it r not, I have friends who practice homosexuality. Obviouly, we don’t have this discussion. I believe and conduct life- and vote- my way, thy do likewis theirs.
We don’t see eye to eye, nor are we required to.
But when he great open minded set out to tell me what I can and cannot think, feel and believe, and manipulate laws and facts to reflect your case, then free thinkerslike myself raise a snit.
I’ve experience way too much hate and exclusion from those who preech love and tolerance.

Well, because unlike you folk, I actually consider “gays” and “starights” equal.

Seems to me that thinking otherwise is, well, bigoted.

#130 “I have never trusted Klingons, and I never will.”

Just shows Kirk’s human side – his son was murdered by Klingons, after all. He later says: “People can be very frightened of change. I know I was.”

Azetbur: You’ve restored my father’s faith.

Kirk: You’ve restored my son’s. [He hugs her hard.]
