#79 Mark On the issue of Global warming Im not to sure about that one . I know that the earth warms cools periodically but there is a difference here, since 1840 the level of Carbon has gone up and other gases as well .now its possible that it may coinciding with one these warming period, but the difference here is that carbon release in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries may prove to a tipping point.

#78 – You are exactly right. That episode was left-wing propaganda being shoved down our throats.

Global warming is a bunch of hooey. An alleged “global” problem requires a “global” solution, doesn’t it? In other words, give up your freedoms and national sovereignty. If you want the truth about global warming check out

The goal of global warming propaganda, as I mentioned above, is to brainwash people into voting away their liberties. Several comments above, where people think the world is going to end in 3 weeks, are proof that it’s working.

Force of Nature was a really dumb next Gen episode. Warp Speed limit that story concept would not been even good enough for a TOS season three episode. That script should have been rejected from the start. but at that point it was also obvious that the next generation as a TV show was creatively running on fumes anyway.

71:

But maxing out at Warp 5 was pointless, and it took an important element out of the show for the rest of its run, and in subsequent series, they thankfully disowned it.

PS. The above recipe is also good with beef products, an acceptable substitute for Xindi if none are present.

#52, should you ever return to this, I urge you to carefully reread my post, 47. I take offense to the fact that you say that I do not share the Roddenberry vision for a better future. I whole-heartedly believe in that future.

I simply was pointing out the natural phenomena that occur with our Earth and that “Global Warming” and “climate change” are two separate, yet intertwined things.

We absolutely need to stand together to fight our battle against the effects that we are having. We are destroying our oceans and forests, two things that are absolutely essential to life here on Earth. There is also the fact that I am PART of the scientific community. I have researched this topic a fair deal and have come to the conclusion that “global warming” is simply a product OF climate change. We are partly to blame in the acceleration of this process, but we did not start it. If we did, then I would love for someone to explain the humid conditions of 65 million years ago and the more-recent Ice Age, and how those two are spaced apart.

A better future is just beyond the horizon. But it’s not going to happen unless people like me and you and everyone else on this board can come together, put our personal wording differences aside, and fight the war on the Earth that we are putting ourselves through. We absolutely need to conserve energy, switch to more-efficient non-carbon-based systems. And thank you “thebiggfrogg,” for furthering my point.

My God… I’m such a windbag. I really MUST be a democrat…

Anyways, back to Xindi babies:

Xindi Burgers:

2 pounds ground Xindi
1 cup wine (for marinading)
1 teaspoons Paprika
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Garlic Powder
1/2 cup onions
1/2 stick of butter

Cook the Xindi in whatever fashion you find best (grilling, frying, or broiling) until patties are medium-well done. Place in wine for overnight marinade.

Take patties out of wine. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Mix the nutmeg, paprika, onions in a pan with the butter. Simmer until onions are golden brown. Add Xindi patties. Place on buns. Use whatever condiments you please.

Consume and enjoy.

In a way that’s typical of the respective series, TNG faces the issue head-on with somewhat of a blunt instrument, resulting in a message that’s clear, but not very dramatically interesting. While DS9’s Shakaar deftly integrates an environmental issue into a storyline with some real impact on it’s characters beyond the scope of the issue itself.

I constantly go back and forth as to which series was better. The clear and direct TNG which sometimes came off as juvinile, or the more sophisticated and subtle DS9, which too often got in it’s own way. Anthony’s breakdown here just brought that out again for me.

Thanks!`
