Pardon me I find willful ignorance and dilberate obtuseness incredibly offensive.
I tried that with you once. Didn't like it. And I think you're taking these things too seriously
They wouldn't know it was true, and unless Phlox and Archer were idiots, no one else would know it was true.Cpl Kendall wrote:And what's the problem with it being speculation?Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

willful ignorance? deliberate obtuseness? What proof do you have that it's willful and deliberate? Before you know something you're ignorant, and if you refuse to tell me what I don't know then I remain ignorant. And maybe I'm not being deliberately obtuse. Maybe you just aren't making yourself as clear as you think. I know I've said many things which I thought were clear to anyone yet be taken in a completely unrelated way(see my suspension for an example).Pardon me I find willful ignorance and dilberate obtuseness incredibly offensive.

Reread this thread. Pay particular attention to your posts where you say it's easier for us to teach you rather than learn on your own or the "what happened to ignorance is bliss" statement uttered by you.

It is easier and faster to be taught then to learn on your own, which is why we have teachers and schools. And here's a Funny thing...you say Archer should use this cure he had to cure this species of their physical aliments. Yet you think that you shouldn't use the knowledge you have to cure me of my ignorance. I'm sure you can see the contradictions.Pay particular attention to your posts where you say it's easier for us to teach you rather than learn on your own
That was a joke, while at the same time explaining why someone might be willingly ignorant."what happened to ignorance is bliss" statement uttered by you.
You know what the difference between the two is? The race in question was not suffering by choice and even attempted to help themselves. Thus far I have not seen you show any willingness to learn on your own and in fact when someone pointed out to you that a few seconds on google would have taught you everything you needed on the Falklands, you said you'd rather ask. If you showed a willingness to improve people might be willing to teach.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

It obviously was close enough to fact that no one actually thought it was a joke.

I tried that but in that specific case the results were rather confusing. Just because you don't see the effort doesn't mean it isn't there. Besides, asking gets me more then just facts, it gets opinions which are just as valuable IMO.Cpl Kendall wrote:You know what the difference between the two is?

Like I said, it was explaining why someone might be willingly ignorant, a serious matter, as well as a joke.It obviously was close enough to fact that no one actually thought it was a joke.That was a joke, while at the same time explaining why someone might be willingly ignorant.
I noticed you seem incapable of conceding he has a point in regard to the episode Dear Doctor. I realize you are high on Enterprise, but an inability to acknowledging the show's flaws makes you look unreasonable and/or irrational in regards to this subject. I love TOS but I admit that episodes like And The Children Shall Lead and The Way To Eden suck. I am a huge Kate Bush fan but I cannot deny some of her songs are incomprehensible to me.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:I tried that but in that specific case the results were rather confusing.

Thank god i'm not the only one, besides blackstar that is. you have the same reasons for me.Teaos wrote: TOS: Maybe I'm just to young but I can't stand the crappy sets and special effects, they are so bad I just cant get past them. And since I didnt see it several decades ago when it was good effects I cant think back to how it was amazing. I also have a rather strong hatred for Kirk that I can never quite work out why, he just annoys the hell out of me.

It took like 9 months for them to travel there.

My problem with the idea was that it was close enough to Earth for them to send Enterprise, the Journey didn't seem to be very long IIRC (besides by the 23rd century it would be even shorter), the Vulcans knew about the area, the Klingons, the Andorians. Yet by the time we get into the 23rd century there is no mention of the Xindi even though they are so close and everyone knows about them. Even with the Expanse gone you would think we would see some evidence that this whole arc and species wasn't just created as a last ditch effort to get ratings and avoid Berman and Braga's Pink Slip...Teaos wrote:Its more the fact that its so impossible for 6 sapient species to evolve on the same planet. Along with the whole, super alien gods teaching them how to build a planet buster is just stupid.
