live long and prosperous

so here i was at the pub talking trekkie with my mate... can't remember how we got onto it, but hey. he starts telling me about why the vulcans are the best (i prefer klingons myself - much more fun) and takes an example from voyager to elaborate. that's not the point, though, it's what he said after that, which was that apparently (forgive me for not knowing), vulcans are the way they are because they had had several genocidal episodes within a very short period of time, and had then decided that the only way to stop the killing spree was to not show any feelings. i'm not sure i agree with that. i mean, i know people who never really talk about how they feel, and they just end up bottling everything up and exploding. personally, i'm all for the 'let's talk and be honest about this' approach. which is what scares most people about me (see my short intro on the right). anyway, all this to say i really think the vulcans got the wrong end of the stick. and i love the klingons.
