/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I think Star Trek could argue either that they have no moral imperative to do ANYTHING at all, ever. Either that, or yes, leave them alone. I am not arguing for their sake, just saying that they can do as they please. If you want to invent warp speed travel, then so too could you:-).
Well, Star Trek does argue that we have a moral imperative to do nothing and it's wrong to help. I'm not saying they have to help each and everyone, I'm saying it's paternalistic to never help. You either agree or disagree with me on that but I don't quite get what this comment is doing on the agree/disagree binary/spectrum. Your first comment appeared to be on the disagree end.
I'm not sure what you mean. It reads like "it's you're fault that you die from a preventable illness we could cure in 5 minutes and that might take you a century to find a cure. If you really wanted help, you could just invent warp travel, not your fault you didn't"
