What are you, six years old? I used to call people names when I was six too!

If someone uses a quote that is wrong, am I supposed to pat his hand and say, "yes yes, of course you are right". GIVE ME A BREAK!

Fine, if it was stated on a show on the history channel, I assume a reference can be supplied. If not, then its not proven as far as I am concerned.

Of course it does/ Even you precious star wars universe does too.

Why do you bother debating here? Were you misinformed about the purpose of the forum? If you don't like this kind of debate, please leave. But don't give me grief about it.

Well I thought you were the same. However, in this debate I have found that you do not listen to evidence, even when you are told three times. You then get upset and insulting when proven wrong. I'm sorry that is the case. As I have said before, I have enjoyed debating with you in the past. I consider myself to be a fair person in this debate, and am always ready to listen to other opinions. I may not always agree with them (especially if they don't previde supporting evidence), but I will listen and consider. Most people consider me to be a very reasonable debater. The Clash of the Titans story is considered one of the most balanced fanfic stories. Unlike fanatics, I don't believe that either side has total superiority in all fields. I believe that the empire would win a war with the Federation, but that Federation ships (by virtue of their high real space FTL speeds) have a major advantage over many Imperial ships. If seeing the advantages of both sides, and failing to simply say that SW is best at everything annoys you, I'm sorry. But don't expect me to join your fantasy.

Well since we never debated that part, its not surprising.

Well, we saw exactly their reaction to that in Elaan of Troyius. Of course I don't expect you to accept that.

I never said they were helpless. Once again, you haven't actually read what I have written.
