That's the one thing missing from your previous posts that made them so annoying. You need to do more of this. A lot more. Stating an opinion as if it were an incontrovertable fact tends to annoy people who disagree--as you may have noticed. And personally, I think a polite difference of opinion is much more fun than a flame war.

What if I just put that in my sig (that all posts are my opinion and no one elses)? I'm gonna do that anyway even though I consider it common sense when reading the posts of other not to assume they're speaking for everyone, I guess I'm just an over-opinionated arsehole.

Is that board policy? If so, I would object to it. Surely if the discussion is in relation to Star Trek then it would belong in whatever forum most closely relates to the area of Star trek being discussed. And if it were in relation to a story or piece of art someone created, then it would belong in DAC.
Now, clearly, this particular tangent is not specifically in relation to this topic, so it is true that it doesn't really belong here. But I am simply responding to your blanket statement.

No. But if old-skool Omega walked in and started to say that obviously humankind will embrace God fully and everyone will go to church on a daily basis in one hundred years time, things would get a bit out of hand.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Good man, though I don't think they're worth much after all those kiddie-fidler priest allegations dumbarse papacy protecting their priesthood. Oh and the American bishops saying W. Bush is a good christian - that offends me and I haven't been catholic since I was 12, oh well such is the way of the world.
Has anyone else realised how off-topic this has become? I mean Constitution variants and space hippies people - come on!

I wasn't aware any RC bishops were calling Bush a "good Christian". I've only heard that they say everyonw should vote for him for the sole reason that, politically, he adheres to the same stance as they do on abortion.
