Hardly, you could choose to leave it be.
It's a trick question then. Both options would be helping the woman.
It's a good thing others aren't selfish with their knowledge, else we wouldn't have teachers. And I prefer to get different points of view on things, and this forum is quite diverse.Cpl Kendall wrote:Look them up, you've suckered enough people on this board into educating you.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

Hardly, you proved rather decisively in the Doctor Who thread that you are simply to lazy to look up things yourself.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

Don't be obtuse, just because the option is not htere does not mean you cannot add it.
That wasn't one of the options you gave me.
It's wasn't the kind of question that suggested you could add a third option, or need to add a third option. The way you presented it was 'pick one of the provided answers'.Don't be obtuse, just because the option is not htere does not mean you cannot add it
If they were acting responsibly they'd have to stay within range in case the cure had negative side effects. To my knowledge they hadn't tested this cure, so how could they know for sure it would even work, much less know the side effectsAt any rate you are (as usual) attempting to avoid the issue. Archer could have provided the cure and flew off into the sunset, there was no reason to stay after saving them.

And then they could leave. They only asked Archer for tech when it looked like he wouldn't help them.

What if it didn't work? What if it had severe negative side-effects? They'd blame the Enterprise for it.Cpl Kendall wrote:And then they could leave. They only asked Archer for tech when it looked like he wouldn't help them.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

They'd blame Earth if they all fucking died as well, or found a cure after they left. They had the chance to render aid and refused, Phlox never mentioned it might fail and this shite in Trek never does. In any case such as this there is the chance for things to go disasterously wrong of course but by refusing to act they demonstrated that not only are they tremendous cowards but they made an enemy where none existed before.Blackstar the Chakat wrote: What if it didn't work?

First of all the swearing isn't necessary. We're only discussing a fictional scinario. Second of all if they're all dead how can they blame anyone?They'd blame Earth if they all ******* died as well
He doesn't have to, it's a given. Any idiot knows there's no such thing as a guarantee, especially in medicine.Phlox never mentioned it might fail
There's a first time for everythingand this shite in Trek never does
Well, said enemy isn't warp-capable, as you pointed out, and would probably die before they became a threat.but they made an enemy where none existed before.
They would leave records behind that if the Menk evolved past the barely sentient stage could read.Blackstar the Chakat wrote:

You haven't seen much Trek have you?

They could have cured it themselves and then told everyone passing about Earth being populated by giantic cowardly dicks, or left records for the Menk.Didn't someone in Germany say that 60 odd years ago...Second of all if they're all dead how can they blame anyone?
So because their is no guarantee of success you don't try... how do you get out of bed in the morning... there is no guarantee that you won't be hit by a car... or that lightning won't strike you when you are walking...What if it didn't work? What if it had severe negative side-effects? They'd blame the Enterprise for it.
I thought they were never actually told that the Enterprise actually had a cure. That would mean anything they said about the NX-01 and her crew would be speculation.They could have cured it themselves and then told everyone passing about Earth being populated by giantic cowardly dicks, or left records for the Menk.

That still doesn't change the fact that Archer, as a representative of Earth and its Government was willing to let the Species die off rather than giving it the Data it could use. They didn't even have to administer the cure to everyone, they could have provided the basic information and left, let the locals work out the problems for themselves...Blackstar the Chakat wrote:I thought they were never actually told that the Enterprise actually had a cure.

He's just trying to confuse the issue (yet again). Frankly I'm about five minutes away from trying out the boards ignore function, maybe we all should.KuvahMagh wrote:

And if anything got screwed up in the process Archer, and by extension Earth would be blamed for it, even if they weren't at fault.KuvahMagh wrote:That still doesn't change the fact that Archer, as a representative of Earth and its Government was willing to let the Species die off rather than giving it the Data it could use.

I tried that with you once. Didn't like it. And I think you're taking these things too seriouslyFrankly I'm about five minutes away from trying out the boards ignore function, maybe we all should
